Ah yes consoles πŸ˜‰ and not missile guidance hardware disguised as consoles. Bet China asked them to do this, so Chinese consumer electronics manufactures can supply war machines to Russia without risking to get completely shutout of the US and EU market.

There's warmongering despot money and then there's TF2 hats money...

TBH that explains a lot. Kyiv is pretty much B if you look at the map of Ukraine. And the reason the Russians couldn't properly rush it is because they didn't have enough P90s.

Pish posh, I'm sure it will run tetris perfectly well.

They couldn't get real Tetris, but Soviet Blocs is even better, comrade.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you know where Tetris was created?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yep, but that ruins the joke!

Wouldn't Wario fit better?

"And it can play all the games at 144fps in 4k?"

"Da."

"Now where is the mechanism that brainwashes the user to hate capitalism?"

"That's in the game. You see, Vlad, we put special hats in the game and the only way to obtain them is by buying keys to unlock boxes that only give you a small, random chance at getting the hat you want."

"Da... Da... This pleases me."

Huh… I always thought Stalin was the most Mario-looking dictator.

I regret go inform you that Russia already runs it’s own Steam. It just has thousands of contributors and doesn’t make any money. Even Steam has trouble competing with it!

That's not how it works.

They'll make a bootleg SNES called the Super FamiComrade

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

We already have one with Atomic Heart(which costs 1/3 minimal paycheck) and Everlasting summer(which is free).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Those are games not consoles or distribution platforms.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I meant that we already have a steam-like platform with only 2 good games. It's called VK play.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Interesting. I was not aware.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Only the highest of priorities for this guy!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

And run those games on washing machine cpus?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Back to the soviet union, or medieval age where globalisation and freedom are not existent.

Varoufakis seems to have a point about cloudalism...

And all the games will be about conquering the world for Glorious Mother Russia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Remember that ridicoulus clicker game called slav armada? The whole point was to slav - ifiy the whole world. You could also slavify motherland, by the power of vodka. It's been ages I haven't played it...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

How CCP of them.

Can't he save himself some time and buy a fail platform and force people to use it?

Same outcome 100%

Stadia: I make comeback?

I mean... an alternative OS? It seems to me like the only realistic options to hit the ground running are Linux and maybe, maybe BSD? They could of course roll their own entire kernel and OS from the ground up, but let's be honest, not even China is doing that and that have way more money.

They probably already have something linux based and will start off of that. Hardware-wise, I bet Huawei or some other Chinese chipmaker is most likely to be targeted, if the only Russian chipmaker went bankrupt last year.

In any case, if they dump money into this distraction instead of the war, it's welcome. And of course, if Russia goes full Linux, that would be quite big, but that's probably not happening for another decade or more.
