  • The original post is a piece of soviet propaganda.

    Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and the modern Russian Republic were/are imperialist powers who conquered and/or exerted economic, political and military power over their neighbours for the purposes of resource exploitation in exactly the same way every other imperial power has done throughout history, including the United States. Russia is currently engaged in a war of foreign aggression over resources.

    Denying Russian (or Chinese) imperialism while denouncing US (or British, or European) imperialism is childishly naive.




  • The “game” in Stardew isn’t really about the farming, it’s always been secondary to the village side of things, namely making friends with your neighbours, completing the village improvement quests and generally having a cozy time making your grandfather proud.

    A lot of players treat the farming aspect as an optimisation puzzle, which of course it is, but it’s a less important part of the game.

    There’s a whole genre of logistics and optimisation games, exemplified by factorio where this is the core gameplay mechanic.


  • Just to give a bit of context to this allegation, Kovarex linked an article written by Uncle Bob, who has made some awful statements.

    When called out for this, Kovarex asserted that it’s irrelevant because the article he linked wasn’t to do with any of that.

    He didn’t defend Uncle Bob’s statements just that it didn’t make him (Kovarex) worthy of cancelling because of it and how Internet culture means that everyone has to be an enemy or ally with no room for any nuance.
