Jeder Tag ist der beste Tag, wenn du ein DOOM Fan bist.

I'm super happy that it wasn't like Fury Road. I love Fury Road, but I don't want to see any more attempts at recapturing that lightning, because it never worked well.

Furiosa is a great installment because it's different and offers more than just action. One of the reasons I loved the first three films is them showing the post-apocalyptic world, giving us lore freaks something to munch over.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition - we'll still be there for you in the arena and boomer shooter crowd, and of course, various Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 lobbies.

Come prepared.

Ich (Russe) bin meistens hier wenn ich was auf deutsch schauen will und jetzt übersetze ich einfach zu viel anstatt etwas Angelasächsisch zu nutzen. :c

Doch das hilft gar, weil es viel einfacher ist, mit Nichticheiler*innen zu reden, wenn ich Lehnwörter nutzen kann.

Als wir sagen auf russisch, es ist schwer beim Lernen, es ist leicht (einfach?) beim Kämpfen. Danke für meine Sprachlernungverletzungen, Brudi und Brudinenn, und jeder außer auch!

Das geht nicht, es gibt einfach zu viel Angriffmöglichkeiten

Wir sind doch mindestens glücklich hier - du siehst, dass sie lächeln, oder?

Thank you.

Ruski here.

This is still hella expensive. 150 rubles for half a liter of beer is around double (maybe 1.5x for some brands) what they cost in probably most shops, with some being cheaper in alcohol-centered shops.

Some actually imported stuff goes for that price and tastes considerably better.

There's also domestic beer and the like for around the same price (some cheaper, some more expensive) that tastes better, too.

And all in all, considering the incomes and purchasing power, that 1.6 EUR average in restaurants and stuff sure doesn't feel good.

I don't know the term for this, but this is most likely related to projecting.

Basically, by treating the people you kind of want to be well or something, you're kind of making a deal, subconsciously, with "the universe", ultimately hoping that your good behavior is rewarded (sooner than later) and you get to be the rich one. Maybe part of it is about some instinct to submit, to follow a leader rather than to be one, too; maybe it's about trying to signal to the powers that be that you're good and should be rewarded.

Of course, all of this is a load of crap, but these are the relatively easier ways to think about things, which ends up to be less taxing on our (admittedly) lazy brain.

Bias be biasing.

Well, conflict is, pretty much, the backbone of any story, narrative, or motive. Has been for long.

Still, I'm not sure it's all that relevant and necessary for a video game, I agree. Some of them just let me do things I can't in real life, like building my stupid base on different planets and moons, or transforming the landscape for the sake of it.

1. Putin wanted some "victory" to boost his dwindling ratings. Ultimately, he'd fallen victim to his own extremely corrupt system; he'd been told too many lies and led to believe that it would be a walk in the park that would skyrocket his rating again, like the Crimea annexation.
2. There has been and there is. The politically active citizens of any country always make up a minority, because most people are either too busy or don't care; the less freedom you have in country, the more marginal the politically active become; the more horrifying it is for a person to end up in jail, basically one-on-one with the system that's been built upon the "best" practices of KGB, the less likely people are to take such risks, and even more so when they have something to lose. Most people looking at the conflict from a country with an established democracy and respect to human life and rights have absolutely no idea what it's like to end up in a Russian prison, especially for as long as 5+ years. More importantly, the government tries very hard to keep people scared and passive, obedient, so that they never even attempt anything and always assume that they're going to lose if they ever oppose the powers that be - in part, they do it by brainwashing the police and similar structures into mad zealots that believe that the protestors or the opposition (even if it's a single mom that's just not happy with the prospect of sending her son to die in Ukraine or change horribly at the very least, on top of becoming an murderer) are the worst enemy their country has, that these people wish them ill; police gets to torture people, too, and I'm sure that's encouraged when it comes to political matters. Multiply that practice by decades of practice and you'll get a very desperate picture of the fear and the sense of helplessness in most people.

I'm sorry that these are not very 5-year-old-friendly, but it's the best I could do. There's just so much to say here. Unfortunately, there's a lot of opinions on both matters, many being defended passionately by the ones that believe in them, so it's very difficult to find the right answer; but both of these questions absolutely have the right answers, with the rest being a massive misunderstanding and an attempt to explain something people don't see clearly.

Feel free to ask more questions. I'm a Russian citizen still living in Russia that's never been abroad, so I consider myself pretty involved and up-to-date on the matter, following the news and opinions and research, etc.; hopefully I can clear things out a little more for you.

This, too, is a form of protest, one though which I fight the propaganda, be it intentional or accidental.
