  1.  @Chris-hs8zd  There have been 150 safety breaches at nuclear facilities in the United States and 56 accidents resulting in loss of life or serious damage to property, the worst of which was the Three Mile Island incident (which was caused by operator error due to training deficiencies and also reactor design flaws). None of those incidents were as bad as the Chornobyl disaster; there are several reasons for this - low reactor yield, reactor location, reactor failsafes and shielding. TMI is an example of what happens when several things go wrong; Chornobyl is an example of what happens when everything goes wrong.

  2.  @TarkBike  I wouldn't care about someone's opinion of a movie if they hadn't watched it either. If you haven't experienced something you're just parroting someone else's opinion and that's useless.

  3.  @maximvork1190  It is best for every country if the mistakes of the past are dug up and put on trial. That way we do not celebrate the wrong people and needlessly hurt our relationships with other countries. And it is best we teach real history, not a nationalist distortion. That is how we end up with more empathetic, more understanding generations in the future. Many countries beside Ukraine have the same problems, Turkey for example. Until they stop celebrating people like Enver Pasha, the nation has a wound that cannot heal.

  6. ​ @Oujouj426  And Call of Duty is basically a recruitment ad for the Army/Marines because that's the price IW/Treyarch pay for technical consultancy (i.e. access to cool shit). But that's okay because we're the good guys and everyone we're friendly with is also a good guy. If teenagers are convinced to die for **rael, that's a good thing!

  8.  @DarkLordShade  Game development is expensive and funding is needed for an ambitious passion project like Atomic Heart. Sanctions make it difficult for foreign companies to support a Russian developer. So the developers got money from wherever they can to keep the project alive.

  9. They still worship Bandera

  10. @morokans  There was not just one massacre but rather many, well planned and organised throughout Galicia and Volhynia. Bandera was the head of the OUN. He allied OUN with the Germans and carried out their will. He's not a hero.

  13.  @TheStormtrooper00  No, it's because there would be very little market for it. Most Ukrainians can understand Russian; they may not like it, but they can. Very few Russians can understand Ukrainian. It costs a lot of money to hire translators, voice actors etc. It's not an ideological matter but an economic one. Or are you suggesting Atomic Heart not having Lithuanian or Turkish or Serbian or Iranian language options is ideological?

  14. Voice acting in Ukrainian only will actually screw over a lot of Ukrainians who don't speak that language, or don't speak it very well Nationalists love to pretend Russian and Surzhyk aren't the majority languages of a large part of the country
    2
  15.  @polinaporechna2008  It's good that there has been a movement to revive Ukrainian since independence but there are still people of Ukrainian nationality, especially in the East, that don't understand it very well. They should of course try to learn if they can but for older people it can be harder. You are probably more gifted at languages than most, considering your English is excellent

  20.  @maximvork1190  OUN Ukraine still celebrates OUN to this day. There has never been a movement to re-examine their actions and condemn them. Russia is as bad or worse with its denial of Katyn and presenting the USSR occupations as a good thing. But we should not ignore Ukrainian distortions of history either, just because it is politically convenient to do so right now.
    2
  21. @morokans  Not the same. The Greater Polish Uprising did not involve widespread targeted ethnic violence against Germans or any other minority. The Second Polish Republic was certainly guilty of imperialist, unfair treatment of Belarusians and Ukrainians, but it never engaged in pogroms.
    2
  22.  @OryxAU  So it's cool for Turks to worship Enver Pasha as a hero then? There are many worthier Ukrainians than Bandera, and many worthier Turks than Enver. But still the cults of personality persist, because the government does nothing to stop them, in fact promotes them.

  28. Well yeah, because the market isn't there. Almost all Ukrainians can speak Russian but very few Russians speak Ukrainian. This means spending money on a Russian-to-Ukrainian translation would be throwing money down a hole for no reason. Remember video games are a product and products have to be sold for a profit. You're acting as if not including Ukrainian language options is a political statement when it's just a logical commercial decision.

  31. Most games that stay in development for 5+ years are terrible - any development cycle that long is going to be messy, unfocused and wasteful. And it's a good bet that the chaotic environment was very stressful for the development team and management were both incompetent and callous.

  32. Voice acting in Ukrainian only is self-defeating, it just means the many people that speak Russian and/or Surzhyk and have little knowledge of Ukrainian are left out. That is a lot of Ukrainians.

  42.  @seendon5394  Governments hate people that attempt to achieve self-reliance and carve out a life outside of the capitalist economic system. You can stock up a ton of tinned food and ammunition and no one's gonna care. But buy your own plot of farmland, a generator and dig a well and you're going to get fucked with. At least the USA is such a vast country it's harder for the government to harass you.

  43.  @greysnake2903  Yeah the problem with those guys is they think there's some cheat code where if you tell the police they can't arrest you then they won't arrest you. Truth is all governments rule by violence so if the government wants to fuck with you, it will. Governments pretend they follow the "rule of law" when they're in a good mood, but if you piss them off badly enough, even if what you did isn't illegal, you're gonna suffer.

  46. @DarkLordShade  Gazprom is a development studio now? Really you mean the game's development was part-funded by Gazprom. Well game development is expensive and Russia is sanctioned. To get funding, which as a small developer with an ambitious project you badly need, where do you go? Western venture capital is a no-go. That leaves Russian companies as your only investment option.

  47.  @DarkLordShade  What you mean is the game was part-funded by Gazprom. Game development is expensive and Western funding is a no-go due to sanctions. So you have an ambitious project you are passionate about, what do you do? Get funding from where you can. The way you present events is not fair to the developer.

  70.  @krsmanjovanovic8607  This whole damn thing is about the substantial lithium deposits in Eastern Ukraine. America wants them so it doesn't have to buy lithium from Russia and China; Russia wants them so America has to keep buying from them, which is valuable leverage. Peace negotiations organized by Trump are due in January. In all probability, three years of war will end with an uneasy ceasefire that leaves Russia with 20% of Ukraine's territory - including all the lithium. Which is a worse deal than the ultimatum Russia offered Ukraine before this mess. The only real winners here are military contractors. They've made a killing.
