Glad he’s okay and not in Russia anymore. Makes playing his games a lot more enjoyable.

He’s a great storyteller

2033, yes.

2034 felt disjointed to a point I wasn’t even sure it was written by the same person. Gave up reading eventually, about 1/3 in.

I had the exact same experience. I love 2033, but I couldn’t finish 2034.

The brain drain and pointless bloody war will continue until morale improves.

Or the nation fucking implodes into a power vacuum 🤷‍♂️

DarkGamer, 10 months ago

I wonder what the world will do if that happens again. UN peacekeepers to oversee elections?

Whatever form Russia takes next should not have a seat on the security council.

TheMightyCanuck, 10 months ago

UN peace keepers are only gonna be an option if they don’t do “Fall of the Union 2: putins boogaloo” and go full civil war

and the pretexts under which it [the invasion of Ukraine] was started look more and more insignificant and false.’

Really? In what way? More and more people are learning about the origins of the war all the time.

UnfortunateShort, 10 months ago

The origin of this war is that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and thought Ukraine is easy prey, because of revolutionary forces within Ukraine and because his collaborators lied to him. They then continued to invade with limited success, thanks to low morale, aged tactics and corruption in their badly equipped military. Now Russians die in the thousands not because of Ukraine, but because of him.

This is the stupidest comment I’ve read today, and I’ve been on reddit.

"Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union "

Ha ha ha. Fucking hell.

People think the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire were the same

Don’t they have schools in the USA?

Ah, sorry, ofc he’s just defending against all these western aggressors you hear so much about. You know, the ones who are now gearing up because of his aggression.

Anyway, please go ahead and die in the “special military operation”, if it’s so necessary from your point of view. I’m sure you’ll be missed.

Yes.

You volunteering?

No point in feeding the troll. Look at his profile, it's a either a Russian in denial or an extreme case of tankie.

BeegYoshi, 10 months ago

pretty much everyone from lemmygrad and hexbear dismiss anything from any western outlet as propaganda while uncritically spouting insanity from the putin regime or the ccp.

i saw someone unironically posting about “democratic dictatorship” yesterday. good times

UnfortunateShort, 10 months ago

Have you seen the profile of that guy? I fear he’s dead serious.

SheeEttin, 10 months ago

I’m sure he wasn’t planning on returning anyway.

Very true. And if you stop and think about it, 2033's only 10 years away. Maybe Metro.co.uk could post a followup to this story then. Just for that "Yo dawg, I herd u like 2033" meme potential.
