anti-ukraine propaganda, transphobia, justification of the "special military operation" - this production has something for everyone's taste. and even in english, for everyone to see.

the mag engine is good, the reviews on games and pixel art are also good. having translated versions is cool (although i didn't check their quality of translation, the english one seemed good)

shame the editorial attitude is to litter the mag with political propaganda.

extra lol points for the paragraphs on how he tries to keep zx-art free of political discussion, while actively releasing these kind of articles provoking people and cleaning their dirty laundry in public.

i kinda don't even want to comment on this, because honestly there's nothing here even worth considering or thinking about, or evaluating critically. i mean that's apparent from just the editorial, but also try reading the "colonization" section; it's an incoherent mess that doesn't even come close to making a point, let alone arguing for one successfully.

perhaps it's in part the english translation, but this is text clearly aimed towards "outsiders"—hence why i expect so many different translations exist—so i'd expect more attention to be put into actually writing something worthwhile. not that any of these arguments or political viewpoints convincing at all. strawmen all the way down.

this is not worth anyone's time, and not worth drawing any attention to. there's nothing wrong with writing—even in demoscene context—about political topics, but this degree of sophistry combined with whining about others not coming to agreement with your poorly argued reprehensible politics is pathetic.

also yeah, that's not to even say anything about how fundamentally objectionable the politics themselves are, as outlined by other comments already. if you read this comment, then seriously, don't bother looking this up or reading it, or putting up an empty thumbs down as a statement. just move on; this isn't worth drawing attention to.

Look, I may also not fully agree with some of the more controversial stuff this mag has (the bits about Ukraine specifically - even if the last issue had a couple hit pieces against Russian propaganda, too), but I've already read a few magazines that one would consider downright preposterous, so I knew what to expect.

If anything, some of you guys sound exactly like the kinda people who, after all the... criticisms about politics, would gladly make *anything* political. As long as it's about the "right" politics.

In general, I have no problem with mags being controversial and portraying a variety of opinions. But justifying a war of aggression (where people I know personally get displaced, maimed and killed) is a no-go. It devaluates the whole production, the rest of it simply ceases to matter. And now I'll follow Noby's wise advice and stop, so that this barrel of honey with a spoonful of shit (which turns the whole honey into shit) stops getting even more attention.

i'm sorry but the quality and nature of the politics do in fact matter. do you imagine that just because some like myself welcome political topics intersecting the demoscene, it should all be accepted with open arms, without any criticism, disapproval or condemnation? this is a rhetorical question, i don't actually care about how you would answer the question. but the fact is that if your politics involve hostility towards me or people i care about, i have no inclination of just ignoring that and putting it aside.

but i should follow my own advice too and not say anything more here. none of the messages or values this release represents deserve any kind of social amplification. do as i say, not as i do… so it goes.

my 2c here are that once you start a war, you have already lost.

that being said: the situation is much more complex than what the media wants you to believe.

it's a political failure on the highest level and, as usual, the common people have to take the fall for it.

my experience with russians is: super nice people who value honesty. and this is my honest opinion.

this crazy war has to stop, right now.

last but not least: let the Ukraine be free, let them decide who they are doing business with (looking at you, "EU", and the "US").

What's a bullshit? A total lie. The brainwashed Soviet spectrumies are the shame of the Scene and the shame of Russia. Now they're old farts who remember their happy Soviet childhood, but don't realise that all their cheap Spectrum clones were assembled by their fathers from factory stolen parts.
Lies, theft, corruption and lack of freedom of speech were part and parcel of the USSR, but our Spectrumies were kids and knew nothing about it. They're still kids! Infantilism, lack of critical thinking, belief in conspiracy theories - these are the qualities that make a person a Putin fan. They may code on Z80 assembler, but otherwise their brains are at the level of a 5 year old child.
What's a shame. Who let the kids on Scene? Return them to the Soviet sandbox.

Not sure what frightens me more here: The war, or the comments about it.

From a psychological point of view, such relentless anger seems to indicate more fundamental, underlying issues that just happen to vent as the opportunity arrived (finally being able to hate "righteously").

Our new Pope Leo has a point when he just pleaded:
Quote:
Peace begins with each one of us: in the way we look at others, listen to others and speak about others. In this sense, the way we communicate is of fundamental importance: we must say “no” to the war of words and images, we must reject the paradigm of war.

and just to be clear: I have zero sympathy for war mongers. It is _always_ wrong and never leads to anything good.

Dear fellow sceners in Russia, I like (many of) your Speccy releases, respect your Z80 skills. Last year I watched Tarkovsky's Solaris for my great pleasure. Prokofiev's 5th is one of my favorite symphonies. Trololo song is one of my favorite Internet memes. I enjoy Russian traffic videos in YouTube.

So there's obviously lots of good to say about Russia. But when it comes to the question whose stories to trust, I'd say this chart is one of the best starting points:

An interesting issue of the magazine, multifaceted. Good reviews of the demoscene, games, interviews. It's a pity that some saw only politics in it.

For reference: Pouet has openly supported the Ukrainian side for more than two years, changed the design of the site to the palette of the Ukrainian flag, and even repeatedly acted as a platform for donating money against Russia.

Pouet's management is itself mired in politics, and ignores any other opinion except its own.

I remember Vinnny and Shuran33 saying things like "please no politics on the Scene". But for some reason they said this when they saw the work dedicated to Alexey Navalny.
Now they see work glorifying Putin and his war, but for some reason they don't say ‘the scene should be free of politics’ anymore.

May be because they are not against politics on the Scene, actually? Maybe they were just lying? Maybe they feel they are soldiers of information warfare and believe that all means are good for victory? Maybe their main weapon is lying, like their idol Putin? Maybe they are playing war games like children, not realising that their propaganda is destroying people's lives and countries' economies?

Personally, I'm not against politics on the Scene and I haven't gagged anyone. I even made the list of the demos with political messages, and I like all of them, despite their political spectre. Because the messages are smart enough and not antihuman.
Anyway, let people say what they think (or just replicate propaganda slogans without critical reflection), so you can judge which of them is stupid or mad.

But in addition to the stupidity, insanity and misanthropy, we see that Putin fans are also liars. They shout "no politics on the Scene" while spreading Putin propaganda. They delete anti-Putin messages from Russian websites, reject such party entries, ban opponents on Russian forums. At the same time, they scream "you on Pouet don't let as speak freely!"

Never do business with people who deliberately lie. Never participate in their DiHalt demoparty.

To prove that Russia is a free country where people can freely express their opinions, you could, for example, go to the main square of your city with a modest sign that says "I'm against the war."

No need to explain anything, no criticism of the authorities. Just a peaceful message: "I'm against the war."

You do understand what would happen next, don't you?

May be because they are not against politics on the Scene, actually? Maybe they were just lying?


Before the SVO I was against politics on demoscene and always openly expressed it. But if Manwe remember - you yourself convinced me that politics on demoscene is necessary. I listened to your advice, you were right!
I still haven't forgotten what Manwe and TS_Labs wrote to me in the chat in telegram, how much hatred there was from you towards ordinary people. Wake up, look at the hatred coming from you and many of the commentators here.
Maxim(ded^RDMA), how can you live in such a terrible(for you) country? Why haven't you left for the happy free lands yet?
You are all trying to blame me for something, it’s a pity that you don’t see yourself from the outside.

Too much on political topic for scene diskmag. However I like style and spirit (both design and content) - it resembles original C64 diskmags.

I wonder how many people voting and commenting here actually read the articles of the e-mag. I enjoyed graphics reviews, pixel art and magazine engine.

and in general, for ages when reading scene mags if I didn't like the article I'd just skip it. What's wrong with having different opinions? Is it necessary for everyone to be cut from the same cloth? What a boring world would that be.

Just my 2c

Oh sure, why not put out a scene diskmag that, among other things, has an interview with Kanye West about his love for Hitler, a manual "How to lure kids into a van", and an article called "How to best blow yourself up for Allah"?
If you don’t like it - just skip those parts. The mag could still be cool, with some solid pixel art. I mean, everyone’s got their own opinions and political views, right?

But hey, better get rid of those Ukrainian flag colors on Pouet! Apparently, russian sceners start shaking and break out in hives the moment they see anything blue and yellow!

lvd, no. There is a huge difference between soldiers and reporters. Soldiers use weapons, and in our case Putin's fans use lies as weapons. Whereas reporters use the truth to inform the World.

@random: politics in old scene mags was mostly teenagers being edgy. here, we have grown up men cheering for a war of aggression against another country. do you really think this is just fine and we should focus on interface, coding articles, etc.? i am a bit baffled to read this from you, of all people.

I like my world without war, genocide, rape, torture, murder, abduction of children and so on. I like my world without the incidents like at Bucha, or the theater at Mariupol, or countless other atrocities Russia has committed. If you disagree, go choke on novichok or jump on a mine.

The only problem here is that you will never know whether it is a 'reporter always telling truth' or 'soldier always lying'.

Do you really believe that something is purely black-or-white, i.e. there's always truth from one side and always lie from the other? If so, it is just childish pov.

Of course an army usually commits atrocities. The only question, how in all your magical world it doesn't happen with the other side's army? Once the picture drawn by someone gets too black-or-white, it becomes highly likely (haha) that it's just a propaganda of one side, no matter whether that side belongs to "R" or to "U".

It usually doesn't happen if the armies stay within the boundaries of their own country. Your country is particularly bad in this regard and it's no wonder why all your neighbours ran as far as they could from your Russkiy Mir the moment they had a chance.

Oh wow, here we go again with the classic 'it's not all black and white' talk. But come on, there are some plain, undeniable facts:

- Putin gave the green light to invade a neighboring country that posed zero threat to Russia, literally none. I mean, Russia still has the full Soviet nuclear arsenal (including the part Ukraine handed over after the USSR fell apart, based on security guarantees and promises to respect its borders).

- Because of Russia’s actions, dozens of cities and hundreds of villages have been wiped out. Thousands of civilians dead. Lives ruined.

- Putin could stop this war anytime he wants. Ukraine’s not about to chase retreating troops all the way to Moscow. They don’t want anyone else’s land.

- But Putin doesn’t want to stop. He’s clearly enjoying himself. Dude looks cheerful, energetic, not even a hint of regret on his face.

And you’re seriously saying 'it’s complicated'? What exactly is complicated? Why all the constant dancing around? Just be honest: yeah, we want to invade countries, we love spreading fear, it makes us feel powerful, gives us a huge ego boost and a hard-on. At least some of the so-called 'heroes' from the neo-nazi "Rusich" unit say it openly. But you guys? You just keep mumbling and acting like this is some big philosophical debate.

Here’s an example of a Russian war hero fighting for the 'Russian World' by killing Ukrainians
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Milchakov

So, should we try to find some shades of gray here? Huh?

It seems very competently put together, like the code, graphics and music is fine, but the content itself is made of pure shit.

Sorta like how a demo can be technically well put together, but actually does not stand out at all art wise.

shuran33, I have no hatred for ordinary people. I only hate lies.

  • When Vinnny say there is no fascism in Russia – it's s a lie (read definition of faschism).
  • When you say SVO (special military operation) – it's a lie (read the definition of a military operation, this isn't one, this is a real war).
  • When Frog gives thumb up to the intro with Putin portraits and ignores the intro with Navalny portrait, saying he is not involved in politics – it's a lie.
  • When authors of this emag say they want peace – it's a lie (they want defeat of Ukraine, not restoring Ukraine's borders).
  • When you all say the Scene is not a place for politics – it's a lie (you're spreading pro-Putin political messages).
  • When you say you don't care about Putin – it's a lie (every time there's talk of impeaching Putin you exclaim ‘we don't need revolutions’).

You lie because you think it's worth it. You think everybody lies, so you do.

Siberian, there are many intelligent people among Russian sceners. They understand that Putin started this criminal war, and the only proper way to stop the war is to stop Putin. And bring him back.

I don't see a single sight of Russophobia here in comments. European and Russian sceners think and talk alike.
I only see dislike of fools and fascists. From both - European and Russians. Unfortunately, this time the fascists are represented by some Russians. Actually, there are fascists and misanthropists in every country. But they don't show themselves off.
Our fools do. The Internet remembers everything.

Who needs this? Who thought releasing this was a good idea?

The demoscene is an international community whose members from the get-go adopted handles instead of culture-specific real names, thus providing a layer of abstraction above the world's divisions. Perhaps more by happenstance than by design, but this practice, not unlike the practice of medieval scientists adopting Latin nicknames and Latin as a universal language, is a really nice feature of this community that for me has always been its strength.

Please do not bring real life into this. On the scene, your nationality, gender etc DOES NOT MATTER - you're a scener. To rephrase the famous words from an old book: "there is neither Jew nor Gentile, nor is there male and female, for you are all one on the scene".

Down with this shit.

I don't give a f*ck what you should do. I only say that *everything* is black.
Every side is doing complete shit and atrocities. No matter who've started it, simply because that fact can't be, not to the smallest extent, any kind of justification for any atrocities that are happening now or have happened recently. Of course, if we take as the supreme value the pricelessness of the human life.
However if there are another considerations that are perceived to be more important, then yes, it might matter a lot who've started what for people with different mindsets.

lvd, you said an aggressor and a victim both make terrible things. Please, stop victim-blaming, it's awkward in XXI century.

And you missed my point: the problem with voting is not about likes and dislikes. The problem is in the comment 'I don't care about politic', if a person only votes for specific political messages.

Siberian, he proportion of sane russians is very large, even here in comments.

City, which is being bombed more or less on a daily basis just from across the border by "the brotherly nation". I am sure it's very "necessary" as you put it, in essence just because you unloved imperialist cunts cannot take a rejection.
