  • There is a developer who has made a tongue in cheek game called bloodborne kart. Using characters from the game. Shit like everyone has a themed kart, but Micolash just fucking sprints. Sony hit them with a cease and desist. They just passed some huge milestone in downloads. People are so desperate for it, they’ll play a mario kart bloodborne-lookalike game with characters that aren’t even bloodborne by now.

    Edit: doublechecked - 500k downloads. It came out this week or sth



  • Except for the fact that there are audiences that laugh at jokes like those, but those jokes cannot be made anymore. Some of the most recognizable comedy songs for people in Poland in the noughties were like this. They just wouldn’t be accepted nowadays. There is a band called “Big Cyc” which translates to “large tit” (as in breast, a singular one). They parodied everything around . So they had an extremely racist anti-racism song. They had “Every man is a pig”. They had songs taking a piss out of the typical old conservative, comparing them to a military army.

    None of those are played in the radio despite most Poles knowing the lyrics and loving those songs. Songs like those, like “Little tiny mustache” can’t be sung anymore.




  • Ah yes, the same 20mln people who looted the country to shit afterwards, killed an uncountable amount of Poles. Good thing that you mention me “equating bad pootin with gud USSR which totally wasn’t a shithole”. Last I checked, the invasion happened in 39’ when Russia literally allied with the Nazis to partition Poland. Last I checked, Katyn happened in 1940 in the “totally not a shithole” USSR. But maybe that’s history revisionism and the soviets were the best people around, totally not an invading nation that killed, raped and looted.





  • First of all, anecdotal evidence. Also survivorship bias. One - the type of person that goes to study abroad is usually wealthy, well off. Two, your family is collateral so you are guaranteed to return. Saying negative shut about the regime can get you in trouble so they’ll sing praises of it - just like in Russia.

    Second, the USSR thing is complete dogshit and you can see why now in Ukraine. People hated the russians. Speaking russian in western Ukraine after it disolved could get you threatened or punched in the face. Same thing with the Baltics. Same thing with Poland.
