This commenter provided some really interesting context:

I could obviously never pick up on these sorts of details when I played the game since I don't speak Russian but it's cool to see Rockstar put in some serious effort in their NPC dialogue.

Also "They are strangers here."

His company name even had Super Mario in it

No photos because I'm not a cop, but full support for this guy for appropriating Nintendo IP

I've been playing GTA Online again after a couple of years away and the game chat is absolutely brimming with casual Russophobia. GTA Online has always been a giant trash fire due to the toxic nature of the game and the fact that the vast majority of its players are children and maladjusted adults, but it's interesting to notice how hostile Europeans have become to Russian players, randomly calling them orcs or animals and asking them why they haven't been sent to die in Ukraine yet.

Of course, because everyone playing the game is an asshole, most of the Russian comebacks are snide remarks about Europe having a lot of African immigrants, but it's almost always NATO-brained Westerners picking fights with players with Russian names and not the other way around.

I'm sure the situation is very similar in most other multiplayer games, but to me it's interesting how Russians have taken the place Chinese players used to hold in GTA some years back before they were region-locked into their own servers as otherised enemies whom you vomit random talking points you picked up on the news at

Takes some gumption to even touch a notorious broken flop like that

There's something about all these millennial and younger gamer chud culture warrior diphits smugly cosplaying as Christians that just fucking irks me

I'm surprised to hear this since from what I recall the publisher forced Creative Assembly to continue the series in some sort of mobile slop format instead which then predictably fizzled out

Those maximum temps were reached when I just sat in my car with the radio tuned to Self Radio

Thanks a lot, Rockstar

Death Stranding came out in 2019. Death Stranding 2 will come out in 2025. That's six years for two games. If these were the PS2 days Kojima would have cranked out 3 Death Stranding games by now and we'd be getting Death Stranding 3: Subsistence along with a teaser for Death Stranding 4 next year.

Remember when video game trilogies used be to a huge thing in the sixth and seventh generations? You'd typically get 3 games in about 5-7 years

See: Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Killzone, etc

Where did the sunlight go? Why is it so dark and cold all of a sudden, what the fuck is this???

It's time to watch another long retro video game video essay, hexbear
