He unlisted a few videos, the first I noticed was with Deus Ex Predicted, I went schitzo brained and thought "Oh I guess Youtube made him hide it because it "promotes conspiracies" or something like that, but then later I noticed it with several more. Kind of an odd thing to do. I guess he's a bit of an insecure guy about these things.
His Deus Ex sperging video was privated because it was dreadful and he got shit for it. He doesn't seem to take criticism well.
I wouldn't even be cautiously optimistic about his book, I think its at best going to be mediocre if his slavjank videos are anything to go by.
I'm just wondering how much pol shit he's gonna shove into that book. If he cannot keep that shit down when talking about Russian games/mods, I highly doubt he'll do the same with his book.
Shame the Russian Fallout 3 never came out. ATOM RPG was neat, I wonder what they would do with modern Fallout formula.
He will find a way to somehow insert wojaks and pepes into this book, mark my words
Russian Fallout 1 and 2 was exactly what they were going for, so I would say it succeeded. I think they should do a sequel that does it's own thing, however.
Well, Trudograd is kinda a sequel, where you can transfer your character progress into it.
My understanding is that this is more of a standalone DLC than a sequel. Also, it takes place entirely within one city, I'm getting DA2 vibes here.
I don't imagine he'll be explicit in it but he'll do soft revisionism, stuff like if they were born in Soviet Ukraine they'll be described as Ukrainian even if they never identified as such. His previous video is in fact an example of this as he describes the writers as Russophilic Ukrainians but they were born in the USSR in 1970s with surnames that indictate a Russian ethnic background and don't they even consider themselves to be Ukrainian.
He is a shitlib and anything he says about politics shouldn't be taken seriously. But he does seem the have a lot of knowledge about RPGs which is completely fine to take seriously and he is very entertaining.
Technically he's more Russian rightwinger. As for his knowledge, it might be impressive for Western audience, but when it comes to Russian speaking audience, he's kinda mid at best.
Seeing as you have more knowledge, who the fuck is Oleg Bilblin? Is he a joke or a real Russian guy?
Unless he fucked up the naming on purpose and wrote Bilblin instead Bilibin, who was a Soviet illustrator for lots of Russian fairy tale books and was known for using acrylic paints for 'em.
*Laughed out of the Russian right wing circles and been a seething anti-Russian shitlib out of spite since
Either way at least someone is documenting the history of the Russian mod and game dev scene.
