  19. my hobby is collecting old games and computers i like old computers because there where more different standards back then and some regions had their own stuff too. America used different computers than Europe and japan and the soviets ofcourse had their own stuff too that was even more unique but unfortunately computers where still not accessible to most people in the late ussr so they are rare and don't have much interesting software and where behind the times .a lot of it is just clones of thing made in the west like zx spectrum apple 2 pdp11. i wonder how the ussr would have handled the internet .would it be like china or even worse ? maybe they would have made a special network for socialist countries only there aren't a lot of proper communist countries left. the only ones that do like cuba and north korea lack the resources to make their own high tech things. so they just block off the internet completely and are far behind cuba has started unblocking the internet and most people just using old computers that were. imported while in north korea i assume the average person doesn't own one and they use windows xp and linux on computers they got from china. but a country like the ussr would have kept up with the west for longer but modern Russia just ended up importing things .and now they are trying to make their own chips again but they have fallen too far behind .it does show a lot that even in the 80s the ussr had to resort to copying old designs made by American corporations .despite not having to worry about bankruptcy and regulations and competition from other companies. i will say that modern Russia has done some impressive things with tech. like the yandex search engine is decent and vk is better than facebook. most countries do literally nothing when it comes to tech. its kind of a stereotype that Russians are good with computers. i am not sure if that is true after learning Russian at least the average Russian seems even less informed than people in the west maybe the hacker community is just bigger .

  48. a lot of tankies ask older eastern Europeans about retro gaming because its one of their hobbies and the ussr was still around when video games existed .but they always get disappointed when the eastern European usually says he doesn't like video games and thinks its childish and it wasn't a thing in his childhood and thinks he is older than the first video game .like what an even older west Europeans or Americans may have said .but the guy they are asking is usually only 45 and a lot of men of that generation in the west are gamers you may get that reaction from a 60+ year old westerner. but what i am basically trying to say is that video games in the Ussr were so rare a lot of eastern Europeans think they were invented in the 90s but really video games were only a thing in richer countries in the 80s and even then it took Nintendo like 5 years to get the nes out in the uk and west Germany. imagine having to wait until 2025 for the ps5 and then imagine how long it would have taken these console to come out in 3rd world countries. this is a more extreme example. but in 2004 i went to Laos and Cambodia and i took my game boy with me and the locals literally didn't know what it was they had never seen a video game before. eastern Europe was way more advanced in this period. i saw a lot of them online and when they complained about being poor i said you aren't poor you got internet i can barely afford this. when i came back to south east Asia in 2011 a lot of the locals had cheap nokia phones were they could play games on and some even had low end computers that were only slightly worse than what i had. but there was still poverty less then in 2004 but it seemed like the country was progressing so fast some people got left behind . nowadays the technology is very cheap so you can probably find video games almost everywhere in some form but they came much later in certain regions
