Thank you. I appreciate it. It’s just that… Every word of support has been worn thin over the past three years. At this point all I can do is turn my brain off and pretend that everything is fine, because thinking about it all makes me want to bash my head in.

Still, I appreciate it, comrade.

I can’t speak for all Ukrainians, obviously, but what I and most of my friends and family want is simple: peace and open borders. I, personally, also want to see the current fascist government and the military hanging.

Ukrainians, en masse, always wanted peace. Zelensky was elected on the peaceful platform, since people were tired of Poroshenko’s attempts to trigger a war, but as soon as he was in the office, he did an immediate 180. The issue is, advocating for peace gets you jailed and tortured in Ukraine, so you won’t hear much of these voices. What you hear are the rabid dogs of the regime, who feed off the war in one way or the other.

Everyone here is insanely tired. I can’t leave my house, because I fear being kidnapped by the recruiter goons. I don’t know how much longer I can take, and I’m seriously contemplating suicide at times. I miss my fiancee, who’s abroad and can’t come here, and I can’t go to her. Just let this end, please.

I really, really hope that it’ll speed up the US dumping Ukraine.

It already exists!

I see… It might be wise to wait until it’s out of EA then.

Same in Ukraine. A whole swathe of outlets are begging for donations or simply dying.

The only thing I can think at this point is “fuck Ukraine, let me out of here”.

Is it usable without knowing Mandarin? It’ve been getting into Chinese cooking recently and could use some of that.

With every passing day I’m more and more sure that I’m going to die here. They just won’t quit until Ukraine is an irradiated wasteland, won’t they? I don’t have any hope anymore.

Fingers crossed.

It’s a really interesting time period, and it’s such a shame that the game turned out to be an utter garbage.

The indie sector is also keeping it mostly lean. No other game has made me cry like Signalis did, and it’s less than a gig.

As soon as I finally move to Russia and settle down, I’m planning on taking the trip there with my SO. It’s going to be great.

They believe that the good guys always win, and they also believe themselves to always be the good guys. Hence the mental gymnastics.

Thank you, I’ve almost retched at the idea.

The tea is absolutely the superior drink.

We’re physically well, but mentally exhausted. Both of us can’t wait for this war to be over.

Puts my shitposting here in perspective

Sometimes it’s easy to look at the world events and say “yeah, this is horrible, but in the end it’ll lead us to the better world”, and kinda forget about those swept up in these events. I do this too, because the only other option is a complete burnout.

You can’t get out legally if you’re an adult male. You’d have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get smuggled through the border, and it’s still very risky.

Usually it involves a long journey through the wilderness with non-zero chance of being lost, starved, frostbitten (at the colder times of year) having dangerous encounters with wildlife and even more dangerous ones with the customs.

Thank you, comrade… I’m just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I’ll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.

It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I’m so tired… It’s hard to imagine normal life now.
