- a convicted ped*le (good job, FBI) is a highly questionable source, and the USSR government up until the early 90ies was mainly formed by Ukrainians. NATO had no say in this until the Jelzin era.
you have to look deeper at the sociopolitical roots of these conflicts, not just the consequences (death and destruction).
in the end, these wars are all about the gains of the wealthy few who trick the common people into believing they are fighting for "a good cause" by blowing up and distorting these root causes out of proportion.
this and plain lies ("wag the dog"). - isokadded on the 2024-01-26 22:49:15

- @ROG_VF:
Quote:My (imaginery) demo would have had a split screen showing the murdering, killing, and suffering of both sides
..or maybe just show no killing at all but rather what lead to it in the first place -- in the here and now, not thousands or 70 years ago.
The french movie "La Haine" ("the hate") did a good job of this (you can watch it on YT for free but I won't link to it since it's probably not exactly legal).
but well, what @decca said: serious topic. I for one am quite exhausted when it comes to these political discussions. Can't we just all live together and trade with one another in peace. Sigh. - isokadded on the 2024-01-26 21:00:04

- Happy birthday! Your "prehistoric tale" Atari ST cover for VD^FLT on the Amiga still rocks my boat today (sounded so much better). May you be in good health for another 50 years !

- solid prod.
(can't help wondering what this would've sounded like with oversampling. and a 4 or 8 times longer precalc time. I know. sigh) - rulezadded on the 2024-01-24 22:37:13

- sadly another low-point for humanity. this is not how civilized people should solve their conflicts. and that goes for both sides.
not so "fun fact": according to Brown university's "cost of war" study, this century's "war on terror" alone caused 38 million people to be displaced, ~1 million dead, ~4.5 million dead "indirectly" (due to famine, destroyed infrastructure). gotta give it to Blinken: He acknowledges this and urged to "not repeat our mistakes". And yet again, hardly anyone listens because the media usually leaves out the uncomfortable truths and tries to frame this as a simple "good vs evil" scenario (some journalists who did not fell in line recently lost their jobs, btw).
which brings me to the one critique I have about this demo: it also is a one-sided view and a long and complex conflict like this cannot be properly addressed in this format. unless you invest _a lot_ of time and portray both sides of the story.
but yes, what's going on right now is an atrocity and two wrongs will never make a right.
thumbs up for raising awareness and the texture mapped(?) chains were quite impressive for an OCS demo. - rulezadded on the 2024-01-22 00:08:43
