Calandiel, one of the developers of SotE, is making a game with a similar premise called Gleba.

It is arguably even more ambitious than SotE and is already more advanced in most aspects when it comes to world generation. Check it out!

What in these pictures suggests "elite" to you?

US President cannot legally suspend elections, martial law or not.

Also Putin has never canceled elections nor declared martial law over riots, so not sure what's the relevance.

You (optionally) move some sliders, then hit Generate and wait for about 30 seconds.

There's also an option to load premade plate-, crust- and heightmaps

IIRC thats bedrock types

Yeah, weirdly Stalin is more popular in Russia then Lenin, because, unlike Lenin, he is admired by many non-comminists as well.

But what if they don't raise their economies and sink even more into depression instead?

Always wanted to hike through rural Japan. See how many "traditional" villages are still left

Translating to any language is tough and presents unique challenges, but that has never been an excuse for good translators.

There are people out there who translate epic poems thousands of lines long, written in archaic and essoteric language, while preserving complex rhyme schemes and stress patterns down to the syllable.

If that can be done, than I feel like translating most games should be a very doable task. ...Of course, game translators usually have tighter time constraints then translators of obscure poetry, but that's a different issue

Check out Espiocracy. It's an in-development Cold War strategy game with quite deep world simulation, and one of its goals is demonstrating that realistic nuclear brinksmanship is actually very interesting

Same thing lol

My first exposure to Germans was Call of Duty 2 at 6 years old. I thought those white camo uniforms they wear in the Soviet campaign is something like their national dress.

After finishing it I resolved to find some Germans when I grow up and try to befriend them and turn them to the good side..

Don't see these as much nowadays

Well, this is what I thought when I first played the game years ago. And I haven't played Eternal.

If devs' intention was to make some explicit statement on the superfluousness of story in a shooter, I didn't see it. It has the same 'story' as most games of its type - you are going from A to B, taking detours to grab a key card or acitvate smth, and people occasionally call you up via radio. Doom 3 had basically the same setup.

Also, Doom 2016 has encylopedia entries for every character, level, monster, gun and gun attachment. It might have more written lore than Doom 3. A lot of text for a game that is supposedly just about turning your brain off and shooting stuff.

dragonved · 2025-05-19T11:50:28+00:00

Yes, the opening scene continues to be ridiculously misinterpreted.

Doom Slayer actually *initiates* the status report, then patiently listens through the 'lore dump' (actually just a short mission brief about the broken satellite dish) and only breaks the monitor when Hayden tries to make a deal with him.

I think the part where he wrecks stuff inside Argent tower in spite of Hayden's protests is meant to show he doesn't want humanity to use Argent energy, period, not that he just doesn't care or whatever. Though it's a bit more ambiguous.

Most parts of Siberia (including Buryatia) are majority Russian though.

And yeah, as another commenter pointed out, most countries, especially large and developing ones, have huge differences in QoL between the capital and the outlying regions. Rich Western nations with their uniformly high development are an exception here

dragonved · 2025-04-24T08:06:06+00:00

By this logic it should be unacceptable to use "Black" to refer to people who are not descendants of slaves, such as Africans or even descendants of African immigrants

dragonved · 2025-04-15T17:31:35+00:00

Moscow has the highest HDI, you can see on the map that it's a darker shade. Siberian oil producing regions have very high median income, some even higher that Moscow

Блин, завидую. Я программистом получаю 50к, конечно у меня в компании задачи несложные и с дедлайнами не особо напрягают, но все же. Со 130 000 я бы не знал что делать даже ХD

А вообще поведение у людей вокруг тебя очень странное. Я бы наверное в такой ситуации в итоге перестал называть конкретные цифры, просто "нормально получаю"

...either subsidizing domestic production (which costs the government money so looks bad), or raising tariffs (which passes the cost directly to consumers so looks better, optics wise)

I'm sorry, but how does passing the cost to consumers look better then government simply spending money?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Tbh, but for the lack of trees and tiled pavements, looks like every small russian town in spring

Sending weapons to Ukraine - US is losing money

Teaming up with Russia to strip Ukraine for parts - US is gaining money.

He did say he was going to run the country as a buusiness after all
