And most fought for the USSR, despite Stalin's depredations,

Well sure, when the commissar points his Tokarev at you and tell you that you will fight for the motherland, you choose the probability of dying in the red army over the certainty of dying at the regime's hands. Mind you these people remembered the Holodomor that was subjected to them just 10 years earlier. The Ukrainians didn't fight for their love of Stalin or communism despite the bullshit revisionist history from Russophiles.

many fewer for the Nazis - though this is mostly because the Nazis acted even worse than the Bolshies had.

The Nazis did mistreat the Ukrainians because they wanted the Ukrainian land as part of their lebensraum policy. But if you think the commies were in any way good, then you're fucking insane. Between the soviet genocide against the Ukrainians, Stalin's Reign of Terror, and the general shittiness of living in the communist USSR, Ukrainians fucking hated Moscow and thought that Germany would be better. Which is saying a lot and is my point.

Ukrainians literally welcomed the Nazis when they invaded the USSR because they hated life under Stalin run communism so much.

A rope is too nice for pedos like that guy. A brazen bull is more appropriate.

I was really annoyed with how Microsoft is EOLing Windows 10, although I relented and upgraded to 11. 11 isn’t that bad.

I had been on 7 for a long time, even past the end of its supported period but I was forced to upgrade when my rig finally died and it didn’t make sense to fix it as opposed to getting a more modern system.

Also its depressing that 3 women decided to name their baby boy 'Star.' Why do that to a kid?

Because they’re chavs and therefore retarded.

She calls herself a Japanese American in her pinned tweet and based off of her pictures I would have assumed that she was a basic white American girl had she not said that she was half Japanese. But yeah, I think she is an American expat.

The international cargo ships are. Like the Dali that hit the bridge in Baltimore was manned by Indians. These tug/barge setups are almost always manned by Americans because of the Jones Act.

You know, the only account here to regularly use the term “stormfag” was good old Imp. Imp gets banned and gopower pops up. Hmm….🤔

If a goyim were saying this instead of AIPAC, it would be declared hate speech and AIPAC would endeavor to destroy that person’s life.

The celebration parallax.

Because this is Canada, I fully expect no consequences for Yaniv.

There's an easy solution here. Just kill the discord server. No server, no need for discord jannies. I don't see the need for an official discord server when the devs also communicate by the Steam forums, Twitter and Reddit.

I wouldn't mind adding the new avatars if they gave players the option to keep the old ones. Also, the new ones were weird and ugly. All of the faces look weird and the body proportions were all off. And there was no option for muscular men or women with hips, butts or boobs. Very odd if they're trying to represent all body types.

Looking at the website, it seems like the only games VVS has worked on are games from Niantic. I find it strange that Niantic would rely on this subcontractor as opposed to doing it all in house. Maybe accounting fuckery? I've heard of companies preferring temps to be contractors instead of employees.

Senior character artist Kelsey Martin, who created the new ugly avatars, is among those who lost their jobs.

They've even buffed fire damage weapons (which resulted in buffing enemy fire damage, resulting in insane instant deaths to those enemies) multiple times

They have this weird obsession with making the game physics "realistic", so instead of having one set of fire parameters for player weapons and another for enemies and another for environment, they have these universal parameters that all of those draw from. Like when people are complaining about the scope on the anti-material rifle being off of where the bullet actually hits, the devs explained that the problem actually has something to do with recoil and bullet drop, and affects all weapons but you only notice it on long range weapons. Now normal people would simply tweak the scope and call it a day but these devs want to instead muck with the basic physics of the game engine. Another example is the rockets in the mech. The mech would explode if you fired a rocket while turning because the mech would physically run into the rocket. So they changed how the mech fired rockets, including making it impossible to fire them downward now, rather than make the mechs impervious to their own rockets or give the rockets a minimum arming distance or whatnot.

Mind you, this is a 3rd person shooter, not a combat simulator like Arma.
