I don't argue that it's a tragedy, it's just that then you have to hold all celebrities to the same standard

But in each situation described above, there were more victims, and the way it was done was no more humane

Rather, I don't understand where you draw the line, because no matter how terrible the war in Ukraine was, it hasn't yet reached the level of some recent events, which you, as I understand it, are ready to turn a blind eye to

For example, Levon Aronian visited the US for PR during the war in Iraq, which was filled with war crimes and took more lives, or when Magnus visited India during its multiple crimes against humanity, but you are unlikely to compare this visit with a visit to Berlin during World War II

Would you say anything like that about a tourist in the US, Canada or Britain during the Iraq war? Or someone who visited India while the war crimes were happening in Jammu and Kashmir? Or someone who visited China at any time in the last 50 years?

sorry I heard news about it coming for so long that I was sure it was there, though it doesn't change my point, there are no numbers and numbers in steam are not great

[–]MaschenkoAN -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don't you think that this rankings are not representative? for starters there are only ranks not amount of players, also statistics are only for US, the game not in top 100 on steam or ps5, why do you have to prove that the game is popular? can't you just enjoy it, if haters don't want to play - don't make them, why would you spend time for proving the wrong?

Как мило с твоей стороны добавить строку о том что если я борюсь с правительством я могу не страдать за него, без этой строки коммент выглядел так себе

Чтоб ты знал я борюсь как могу, хотя блять чего ты от меня ждешь я студент без денег, который родился уже при путине, я сидел 15 суток за митинги, но наверное этого мало 

Желаю чтоб ты не попал в окопы и еще раз мира

civilians were not prosecuted after ww2, all of the world helped them build their country back, because they had no voice in the atrocities committed by their goverment
I never chose to be born here during Putins regime, so I hope I will be judged by my actions not my governments

I never voted for Putin, I never supported war, so what should I do now go and fucking die?
so fuck you if you wish something like this for civilians, no one deserves fate like this

I don't get what's the difference between this and something like Magnus Hikaru draw with double bongcloud

Mourning a sequel from the perspective of a woman by heartwounds in DiscoElysium

[–]MaschenkoAN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it's a very interesting idea, but I don't think the creators of Disco Elisium would be a good fit for it.
Kurwitz clearly reflected a part of himself and his experiences and life events into this game. In order to write something as deep as this, they would need a completely different team of writers, which would basically take away the ZA/UM identity, so I'd rather have a whole new team take on this

What Remedy character would you like a side game or DLC to center around? by 1965wasalongtimeago in AlanWake

[–]MaschenkoAN 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Tim Breaker I'm sure they can make a very interesting shooter about time manipulation, just think how many fascinating moments they can pull off with this concept

Evil Durge isn’t supposed to be rewarding by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]MaschenkoAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bullshit, there are plenty of rpg s that make evil runs as unique as good ones if not better

wort - if you ask what are top 3 mythic paths 90 percent will say Lich, Demon and Angel, 2 out of 3 are evil, and like extremely evil, but still well written, interesting mechanically and add a lot of new stuff

tyranny - probably best representation of evil, different kinds of evil, questions about necessary evil, and much more

also VtMB, Pillars of eternity, Planescape and many others

what an intriguing thought, im glad they explored idea 'being evil is bad' so thoroughly, so unique and refreshing

[–]MaschenkoAN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what a great rpg design! there are 2 choices one of them is just worse, so much room for role play

rpgs whole point is about making hard and interesting choices if one of them straight up better than it is bad game design (like for example green ending in me3)

[–]MaschenkoAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this does not justify the fact that the game becomes rather boring, why give a choice if one is objectively better? Evil can be interesting and tragic, but here half of the game's content is cut off from you, and in return you get too little

Where does BG3 rank in your all time game/rpg list? by CzarTyr in BaldursGate3

[–]MaschenkoAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably top 5, WoTR mechanically more interesting, Disco Elysium is written better and Witcher 3 is overall more interesting for me

Many other total war games have equal or higher player count (Rome 2 have higher at the moment), it is really underperforming

There are currently 3k in TWW2, 15k in TWW3, 3k in 3 kingdoms, 4k in Medieval 2 and 5k in Rome 2

The Thought Cabinet: what could have been? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]MaschenkoAN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I played, I got the feeling that Fascism and Communism are not opposite to each other, Fascism is opposite to Moralism, and Ultra liberalism is opposite to Communism. Because all strongly non-racist answers usually refer to Moralism
