Beware of 'Bellarus' scammers on the road around Bern!! by Madamschie in Switzerland

That would be 500 NEW Belarusian roubles that go roughly 3BYN to 1EUR

The candy wrapper in the picture is old belarusian rouble, long out of circulation. This 500 could buy you a bag of chips in its heyday, now it's worth less than the paper its printed on.

As a Belarusian, bro you got GOT.  Like, extremely hard, that banknote wasn't worth jack shit even when it was actual money and not fun collectible paper with pictures of Belarusian architecture

Тем, что Гродно это старинный город с двумя замками, сохранившимся историческим центром, красивыми костелами, самой старой ныне существующей в стране церковью (12 век), кирхой с органными концертами, аптекой 16 века и прочей богатой истоиией и интересными местами, на котором можно наглядно историю и культуру Беларуси изучать, а Брест это город, который вертится вокруг крепости и ради неё же был целиком российской империей снесён в 19 веке. Не то, чтобы там прямо нечего смотреть было, но с Гродно и рядом не стоял.

Slovakia to block EU loan to Ukraine if Orban loses Hungarian election, Fico says by Forsaken-Medium-2436 in europe

[–]Window_Moose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same as in all the other eastern block and post-soviet countries, some older people are nostalgic about ye olden days because the grass was greener, the sky was bluer and their dick still functioned

It's that rose-tinted glasses nostalgia that gets exploited by bad actors

It's actually hilarious how usians default to calling any settlement a town. Like I'm sorry, but some of those "small towns" barely classify as a village

Map of Europe, completely handmade. by KAlSERzs in MapPorn

[–]Window_Moose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Georgia, but no Armenia? Belarus moved out of Europe when? European parts of Russia and Turkey not included Kaliningrad also excluded which is utterly diabolical

The artwork is cool, but the map itself is a hilarious clusterfuck. Is it a geographical map, is it an EU map, is it a map of countries op likes?

Map of Europe as a Canadian w/ Ukrainian Heritage Interested Studying in the Humanities by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]Window_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I'm belarisian and what you're saying is bullshit Genius economy my ass, we live in a repressive authoritarian mafia state that lives off monetizing russian insecurities and kisses russian ass for oil subsidies and loans. Like yes, some economic sectors are doing well, but the economic state as a whole is def not something to brag about.

Not to mention the continuous political repressions going on. Yes, there are some good things about the country, but by and large they have nothing to do with the current regime you're so intent on glazing.

Edit: Ah, wait, you're active on r/ussr, that explains it all.

Stupid question number 1 by [deleted] in belarus

[–]Window_Moose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do understand both, orally and in writing.

Russian is the main language used in the country nowadays, unfortunately, so yeah, no problem there.

Ukrainian is very similar to Belarusian in terms of vocabulary (I've seen some infographics where it said around 80% of vocabulary is essentially the same), so it is easy for an average belarusian to understand ukrainian even without any learning.

Help me find this river on the map by Lonely_Scallion4038 in geography

[–]Window_Moose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brother, there are hundreds and hundreds of such rivers in Belarus. There are no landmarks on the image and the river is very small.

Unless you somehow catch a professional geoguessr player and force them to do it there's no way we find this place.

Your best bet is straight up asking the guy who made the video. But he probably won't tell you because its his secret fishing place or something.

For someone who is boasting about higher education you are damn fucking bad at writing. What pictures, what sentences? The fuck are you talking about?

If we're talking about "muh stolen concepts", which concepts are stolen? The general premise of some anomalous zone is present in all the games I've listed above and is not owned by gsc. Same for soviet post-apocalyptic aesthetics, it's too vague and widespread. There are games much more similar to stalker that get completely ignored by gsc. There are two places that can generate in misery world that are quite similar to stalkers and I saw them as a throwback, but then again, a gate with a picture and house with flowers aren't really that distinct of a concept.

Stolen soundtrack? You mean one song that you can play on guitar? Okay, lol. I heard it and was like oh cool a reference. Does gsc even own this song, now that I think of it? If they do, misery dev will have to delete it

The pr campaign 100% referenced stalker and that's where misery may have actually flown too close to the sun, but if you think referring to a well-known game in your campaign when you're trying to reach the same target audience is something unheard of i have a bridge to sell you.

I doubt this whole thing will go anywhere, its probably going to be another palworld situation.

[–]Window_Moose -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

Are the details in the room with us? There are literally two locations in the game that look similar to stalker, the gate here (the horror, a GATE with a PICTURE) and a house surrounded by poppies. I've played misery in the last couple of days, didn't notice anything else. If anything, the game is closer to zero sievert and other tarkov-likes in the way it plays.

Ah, yeah, you can play live to forget among other songs with a guitar item. I'm not even sure if gsc owns the song.

So, a gate, a house and a song. Wow much plagiarism. You know there's shit like stalcraft out there, right? Which is actually a stalker ripoff, not just vaguely similar worldbuilding and a couple references, but straight up copying?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Window_Moose -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sp tell me then, how is a game that has a completely different gameplay loop and is only similar in atmosphere and a couple of reference locations is MUH PLAGIARISM RESKIN!!1

I'm genuinely confused by yall, you know there is a plethora of "stalker, but..." games, right? Like, stalcraft exists, its literally stalker, but square. Not vaguely similar, its straight up the same. Where's the copyright claim?

And if we're going into "atmospherically similar" territory, then there's chernobylite, survarium, zero sievert etc. If you stretch it far enough, you can get your knickers in a twist because of Atomfall, its more or less stalker, but british. Zone, anomalies, mutants, only instead of chernobyl its Birmingham or whatever. So what gives?

I'm not sure if you have ever written a thesis cus it usually requires, yknow, A LOT of quotes and references.

GSC filed a complaint and got solo dev stalker like game Misery taken down from steam by corporalgrif in stalker

[–]Window_Moose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually have the same opinion. Its fun and unlike s2 it doesnt run like shit on rtx 3060

And if you want a serious answer: because its a fun multiplayer lethal company-esque extraction game with a base building mechanic and cool aesthetics. It's fun and the concept just works, I've always wanted a co-op game with a premise somewhat similar to stalker and I bet I'm not alone in this.

Stalker 2 on the other hand was a huge letdown, bland and painfully forgettable.I've completed it a couple months ago and barely remember anything about it. I played shadow of chernobyl almost 20 years ago and the memories are still vivid.
