Poll: Most Russians would not support ending invasion if it meant returning occupied territories to Ukraine (kyivindependent.com)

According to the survey, only 34% of Russians would support President Vladimir Putin if he decided to end the invasion and return occupied territories to Ukraine. However, 70% of respondents said they would support Putin’s decision to end the invasion of Ukraine without returning territories.

At first I don't belief in the reliability of such surveys. They come mostly in the form of suggestive questions, allowing only a Yes or No as an answer. The organizers of this surveys design their questions in a manner that their agenda will be confirmed.

The second thing is the recipients of the survey. They live under a half- fascist government that is known for punishing unwanted opinions. I once heard the story that people in russia only participate in such surveys because they have the chance to tell the interviewer of local problems - in the naive hope Putin will hear it somehow and care for it LOL so they have an interest to appear as obedient citicens.

While I don't think that russians will stand up against Putin en masse, and won't do this in case of a defeat neither, i don't think that the majority of russians is actively "supporting" him. They may still assume that he is the least hurtful option, and at least brings no change. At least not for the urban population of moscow or petrograd.

In other news: Levada center denounced 30% of it's survey respondents for <s> choosing the wrong answers</s> treason.

There is still much to do for Ukraine.

But Russia's Awdijikwa offensive may not have run as expected, and they are still feeling the pressure everywhere else.

exactly that was my thought on Borderlands 3.
And after gatting it for free my realisation was that it even is the worst part in the whole series. Not bad, but the story isn't that overwhelming as the stories in BL1 or BL2 had been.

to disagree slightly: there were many different stores and lunchers before Epic even existed. Apart from Steam I have bought games and other digital goods on Gog, Humble and the now- extinct Desura. While totally avoiding the stores from companies as Ubi or Ea because they just suck.
Having an addititional account wasn't the big issue. There were already attemts to integrade several libs into one launcher, and if not you can at least run the start commands for that games out of steam.
What was sucking from the beginning was that arrogance of this sweeny guy, his promises of hot air, and his telling us of being the great saviour for all developers - while we as paying custemers were fed up with this bad launcher that is still missing every user interaction.
In the end not even the developers have profited from the store. Sales are not as promised, and in order to release a game on this platform sweeny blackmails you to give away older titles for free.

Stellen Fabrikanten - oder Scholz' Banker- Freunde - keine Klasse dar?

Der simuliert für die extra eine partielle Amnesie.

Es wäre schön, wenn Scholz ein Klassenverräter wäre. Sein Papa war Fabrikant.

Jetzt braucht es nur noch jemanden, der diesen Maaßen- Spruch mit Josef Stalin und Olaf Scholz visualisiert....

Backpack Battles: business model i haven't seen since Minecraft, and it seems to be working?

All over Twitch, about half the streamers I usually watch playing turn-based strategy games are all suddenly playing the same new game. I watched a few streams, and it looked interesting. Normally, I never buy games when they just come out because I have such a backlog and can wait for a sale, but I figured if everyone...

Thanks for suggestion. I checked the trailer, but I don't think it's worth for me to try the demo. It's just not my type of game.

I myself addded 3 games to my wishlist after checking out the demos on steam this year. First one was manor lords back in march. then came Pagonia and enshrouded in october.
I am sure that releasing demo versions of games can make a difference. Many studios lack the financial power do do months-long marketing campains. Many players are even bored by such campains are are more impressed when they can get their hands on an upcoming title instead of having to watch the same trailer 50 times on youtube or in commercial TV. Many gamers do even avoid platforms as twitch or tiktok, and can't be reached by avldvertising via this platforms.

Ich sehe da einen Rechtschreibfehler. Der Preis heißt doch "blauner Panther"

Diese Szene ist in der Tat sehr ähnlich. Außerdem fehlt in der neuen Verfilmung Patrick Stewart.

Seems that you concentrated your video on free-to-play games instead of free games. I was at least missing some of my favourites like OpenTTD or Retrocycles.
Your video was also missing an RTS section which could have featured Zero-K

Achtung, Übersetzungsfehler!

Das heißt nicht "schnellfutter", sondern "Schnellfraß".

Daumenhoch hab ich trotzdem gegeben.

Jupp, klingt auch plausibel.
...auch wenn meine Angelsächsischkenntnisse dem widerpsrechen.

Technisch nicht korrekt, da der Arsch aus Muskelmasse besteht. Nicht aus Kacke.

Witzig ist es aber trotzdem,.

Yep, the components. I see redstone and switches.
But I don't know those stones that lift the boat up.

Cool.
Which elemnts did you use? And are they available in Minetest too?

Fun Fact: In einem befreundeten Land gibt es tatsächlich eine Partei, die die Glühlampe als offizielles Symbol hat. Und die stellt dort seit über 20 Jahren die Regierung.

Finally.

They should have done this from day one. Instead of buying exclusives and ruining Bandcamp.

Ist doch gut, daß zumindest einer in der Familie nicht leer ausgegangen ist.

Nur hätte diesen Job jede Nicht- Millionenerbin mit einem Camcorder genauso gut machen können.
Ich weiß nicht, ob sie studiert hat, deswegen möchte ich auch nicht das Gegenteil unterstellen. Aber mit einem BWL- Abschluß und einem kleinen siebenstelligen Startkapital hätte sie weit mehr rausholen können.
