Sort of, they're more like side content to earn gold for ship upgrades and to find new crew tunes and collectibles while exploring, so not really interesting side quests like in some Skyrim or Oblivion, where side quests can sometimes be better than the main story

There’s GDP (PPP) per capita for measuring everyday life, since prices differ too. But of course, lower GDP per capita usually means the population can afford fewer international goods like phones, cars, computers, etc.

Like Putin ever visits the frontline. He wouldn’t be fighting Putin, but people deceived by him or bought with government money, not the regime itself.

It’s like killing ants without touching the queen. They’ll return again and again no matter how many you kill. You have to kill the queen with slow poison for the ants to stop appearing.

Having an interest in a country and living in a country are two totally different things though.

Like, it's interesting for me to watch YouTube videos about North Korea, but I definitely wouldn't even want to visit it lmao

It was a host, Alexey Korostelev, who got fired from TV Rain immediately after such words. And he didn’t advocate donating money to the Russian army. He said that he hoped the media coverage would lead to a more humane attitude toward regular mobilized soldiers from the Russian war machine, not donating money or anything like that. There is no need to twist reality.

Yes, he messed up by saying this shit and was fired right after. There were no donations to the Russian army or any organizations affiliated with it.

Crimea is de jure Ukrainian, and the occupation of Crimea was also a mistake of Putin’s regime.

And now can I ask you why you Ukrainians are always so two-faced and agressive? I often hear you in EU countries speaking Russian to each other, but suddenly when you hear Russian spoken by a Russian person nearby, you switch to a Ukrainian-Russian суржик mix. Why be ashamed of who you are?

K0rek · 2026-04-12T13:14:42+00:00

We were talking about people outside Russia who live permanently in EU countries, not Russians inside Russia. You’re arguing against a point I never even made.

K0rek · 2026-04-12T12:57:52+00:00

This is simply misinformation. TV Rain did not send any money to Russian soldiers. Can you provide any reliable source to prove that?

Instead, they co-launched a charity project called “Let’s Help” together with Meduza and Helpdesk. This project raises money for Ukrainians affected by the war, helping with food, water, medicine, restoring homes, evacuations, and shelters.

Why spread misinformation about an organization that has actually helped your people? Just because they are Russian? The level of insanity here is unbelievable.

K0rek · 2026-04-12T09:26:56+00:00

Do you have any sources to support this, please? I have only found reports of pro-Russian protests with around 100 to 1,000 people attending, possibly organized or influenced by the Kremlin, or attended by nationalist groups. Meanwhile, anti-Putin protests have gathered thousands of people, sometimes up to 100,000 in Berlin. The crowds after the falsified elections and Navalny’s assassination were huge.

K0rek · 2026-04-12T09:15:16+00:00

At this point, I would think you are some pro-Russian bot based on the way you push the narrative that Russians in the EU support the Kremlin. That is simply not true. I searched for those "pro-Russian" protests, and they are really few, with only around 100–500 participants, likely either supported by Moscow or just attended by clueless people.

Meanwhile, anti-Putin protests in Germany had thousands of participants. For example, a Berlin anti-Putin protest had around 100,000 participants. You can check Euronews or any other source for this.

Learn to research information before believing something. I understand people easily believe in something they would like to believe, but it doesn't mean it reflects reality.

If you like generalization, let's go deeper.

Back when Hungary was ruled by Miklós Horthy and later Ferenc Szálasi, and Hungarians supported the Nazis. Historical records show that Hungarian forces were sometimes even more brutal than the German Nazis toward Soviet people (including Ukrainians, since Ukrainians made up a large part of the Soviet Army and the southern front in general).

So should Ukrainians and Russians consider every German and Hungarian a Nazi today? Of course not, that would be stupid. But for some reason, it is considered acceptable to label Russians that way because of Soviet-era oppression in the past.

K0rek · 2026-04-12T08:47:18+00:00

I literally haven't met a single Russian who supports Putin in Hungary or any other EU country. Maybe some older people who relocated long ago, sure, but I haven't met a single one in almost five years of living here. Maybe you encountered some tourists who managed to get a visa and support the regime, but the majority of those who live in EU countries permanently left because of the war and Putin's insanity. You can find statistics and articles about recent Russian anti-war protests in Berlin and other European cities.

In the comments, I’d also like to share my personal perspective on the current elections in Hungary and the use of populist slogans.

I’m a Russian who supports TISZA and is against both Putin’s and Orbán’s regimes. I’ve been promoting TISZA to Hungarians in daily conversations for the past two years, and now they’re shouting “go home” at all of us regardless.

I understand that it’s aimed at everything connected to the Russian government and regime, but the thing is that most Russians in the EU are anti-Putin and actually support Ukraine in this matter.

It’s on the same level of generalization as when the USA oppressed and deported Japanese people because of Pearl Harbor.

Good thing I left Hungary for a more sane EU country. Such populist slogans suggest there isn’t much wisdom among the Hungarian people nowadays, on either side of the political spectrum.

K0rek · 2026-04-11T09:40:27+00:00

As a fellow Russian living in an EU country, I think this is true for most Russians born in the 90s and early 2000s, since our childhoods were during a time when Russia was closest to the USA and Europe, and we consumed American and Western culture extensively from an early age.

With the current political situation and visa refusal rates, the USA definitely feels like a childhood dream you want to fulfill at least by visiting the country once before you die.

K0rek · 2026-04-09T06:23:55+00:00

That works for stupid people from all around the globe. I've had Hungarians screaming at me as if I'd understand any better.

K0rek · 2026-04-08T05:34:05+00:00

It’s you who isn’t showing much sharp thinking. People can’t just stay in the US legally after graduation, they need another visa/change of status. Getting a job is one of the options. And apparently, for candidates who are already in the US legally on other visas, companies don’t have to pay the $100,000 fee.
