Russia could always attack through Belarus, I doubt they would keep Kherson if Kiev or Rivne were under russian occupation. Anyways, they will only come to the table, when such pride issues are no longer viable in the first place.

Yeah. I think Putin understands that to get truly what is required for permanent peace, Russia has to occupy almost the entire country, which is a nightmare in a logistical & manpower sense. He made some comments about it.
Even worse that the disputes will only invite further probing and preparation for the next war by the west and whichever nazi ends up in charge of ukraine.
I doubt russia will conquer all of it. At worst they will lose Odessa and everything east of the Dnieper.
They do not "need" to reconquer Kherson. They will trade Sumy or Kharkiv for it. Although Its possible they annex parts of Kharkiv until the Oskil river for defense purposes, the donbass is very exposed otherwise.
Easy, by making you into the "problem child", they build themselves up for pay raise/promotion/more protection for being fired. Its ruthless there and they dont have any sense of comradery. You take the high road and end up falling into the chasm, because the others have been busy digging the dirt beneath your feet. Its the nexus of bourgeois culture, which will be abolished under any socialist system.
Exactly. They are playing the long game to get you overlooked for a promotion/higher on the firing list. Its best to gaslight and establish their discredibility early. Start with small remarks.
Most modern gaming design dont know their target audience. They all want to be the 360h action shooter open world romance side plot big twist emotional "deep & mature" with rpg elements and that mishmash of half-baked mechanics, code bloat and "4K HD ultra-realistic cpu-cooking ray-tracking" with uncanny valley facial animations, bug galore that comes out in the end is drowned out by the million other games like that.
They lack the identity and focus of older games. Nor are they boundary pushing or redefining an entire genre.
Online RP servers of GTA are quite popular, INZOI tried to capture that demographic.
If you arent Venezuelan and if its not done in a closed communist circle. What is being critical of x or y country good for? Other than doing free labor for the empire.
No offense but they are radlibs aka “anarchists”. They never had good takes. And if one thought they had, that’s because you once had “bad takes” but now have evolved beyond their stunted half-socialist worldview. That was the same case with breadtubers like early Contrapoints as well, my own rising political consciousness quickly overtook her own, and she meandered back into liberal chauvinism.
it already exists there.
I doubt Poland will. Not because they dont want to, but because Lviv is the heartland of Ukrainian Nazism and there is a very bloody history between the two countries. Bandera is reviled for his massacre of polish residents of that area and many in poland have soured on ukraine and the refugees. Romania & Hungary almost certainly will though. But the rest of your assessment is spot on.
