Can't wait for 15th century Bohemia: KANGDOM BLACKED to cum out

 

[The Wall]

smejki shares typical sjw crap on social media, why are you guys surprised he'd defend this?

I know his types. Belgrade is full of them. Smug "high iq" "independent rebel" "centrist" who gets informed by local CNN (CNN has affiliates in all Slavic countries, in Balkans it's N1) and goes to cinema and cries tears of joy when Captain America is black trans queen. Blacks are worshipped like Gods by Slavic urbanites like Smejkis, no black exchange student has left Prag, Belgrade, Zagreb, Warsaw or Moscow without emptying his balls. Smejki is American without American passport. Many such cases in Eastern Europe

 

[The Wall]

Travel to Mexico and just cross the border into America, California Smejki . Among hobos, shits on streets, sounds of gang violence in background, and with shizo tranny governer: you'll finally feel at home. Go Smejki Go Smejki Go!

I like most of your ramblings, but, for fuck's sake, stop chain-posting and learn to edit your posts, already.

 

[The Wall]

but he does the classic woke bullshit and pretends this new huge push isn't a thing at all.

Step 1: Gaslighting aka itz not happening
..several steps later
Final Step: Itz happening and itz good that itz happening

I'm in my twenties in Belgrade. While we were growing up all methods of gaslighting and agenda pushing were practiced here. Types like Smejki are pretty common in Slavic city centres. I mean his responses are as if nothing insane happend in past 10 years and as if all of the fears didn't come true, when it comes to woke globalism. Maybe Smejki's time traveler from 2013, who knows

 

[Barbie]

I'm glad that my mission to make Smejki tell us all juicy insider info was successful. Weaponized butthurt is Nuclear Bomb 2.0. I might try same tactic on American and Ukranian officials on Twitter, sell info to Russian Ministry of Defense, buy myself new high end gaming computer

Also: I'm really glad to hear that things are looking good behind the scenes @WarHorse. Good luck to Smejki in his next endeavour. Hope itz something you really believe in and are passionate about

Oh yeah, you made yourself look like a twat and in returned I repeated what was already known. What a deal.

But I must say that some reactions prompted me to dispel some doubts which boil down to 2 questions:
Was I fired? No.
Am I jumping a sinking ship? No.

Wall was right though(did I just type that out?)
this is from Embracer Group's 2021 financial report, which owns Koch which owns Warhorse Studios.

I don't see anything wrong there.

The diversity stuff basically means "don't be a KKK-level nutjob" or "Don't reject applicants based on their race, religion, irrelevant disability, or sexual orientation etc". We've always been inclusive in this regard, we only care about merit and a person ability to not act like an abrasive twat, so nothing fucking changed here. There have always been Indonesians, Iranians, Kazakhs, Uruguayans, muricans, mixed race Czechs etc. I'm pretty sure somebody is gay or bi, nobody cares.

Green stuff is, well.... I guess this mainly applies to physical production and distribution, so not us. And I think that's good (at least in theory, in practice there's a question whether carbon footprint offsets actually do anything). We run a bunch of computers and keep the office space liveable. There isn't much CO2 reduction we could do, so we sort waste and turn off the ligths when everybody's gone, and that's like all we can do directly. Barely anybody drives to work, majority of people use bikes or public transit. But that's all personal choice, nobody is incentivizing us. Welcome to the reality a major European city.

Sorry you are getting all this vitriol from some people here. You did nothing to deserve their accusations and most people reading this thread have appreciated how level-headed and forthcoming you have been. I, at least, have respect having an actual developer from a real company post their insights and participate in discussion.

I hope your new ventures work out and that you'll get to do your dream projects!!

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

Is the wall short for walls of text chain posted? Damn dude. I'm mostly in agreement with the gist of what you're saying but come on bro.

most people reading this thread have appreciated how level-headed and forthcoming you have been.

What data did you use to come to that conclusion? I must have missed the survey.

 

[Paul_cz]

So are you saying the diversity and inclusion crap is just given lip service and mainly ignored? Then why downplay it as "The diversity stuff basically means "don't be a KKK-level nutjob" or "Don't reject applicants based on their race, religion, irrelevant disability, or sexual orientation etc".

That's not what diversity and inclusion means. Otherwise it would be called a "keep doing what you're already doing" initiative. If smejki said "Yeah it's a big corp and we gotta pretend to go along with that stuff" it'd be one thing, but he does the classic woke bullshit and pretends this new huge push isn't a thing at all.

I have no idea what the fuck you are saying, sorry.
"Diversity and inclusion crap", in my experience, means do not discriminate people for their ethnicity etc. It does not mean "you gotta hire X percent of ethnicities XYZ". That's all.

And ignoring ethnicity and other superficial bullshit and focusing instead on skill/experience/personality is basic common sense.

Yes! Yes it is. And yet, diversity and inclusion statements are being added to companies mission statements, and people are being hired specifically to implement diversity initiatives in many companies.

So, why would you need to change a bunch of stuff and hire a bunch of new people to do basic common sense that everyone was already doing? It's almost as if... it means more than just that.

I mean after everything that happend in past 10 years, anyone on this site who claims that Inclusivity and Diversity agenda in corporations means in 2022 what it meant in 2013 is high on cope. Anyone from Slavlands who thinks that Slavs are somehow immune to GloboHomo, lives in some forgotten mountain village. Smejki pretending that GloboHomo is good and doesn't include what you can see on pages of Fall of Western Civilization and Kali Yuga thread, well, as agent Rusty said, he posts SJW shit all the time on Twitter. He's just gaslighting you

 

[The Wall]

What did even Smejki do on Kingdom Come? What quest or mechanic or art did he produce? Only thing I know him for is throwing poisons darts at his Boss Vavra here on Codex

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

I mean... he was the diversity and inclusion engineer/artist, obviously. He had to make sure 25% of the characters in the game were trans muslim POCs of color and that nobody assumed anyone's gender in the comments for the code.

I kid, Smejki. I'm just busting your balls at this point.

 

[Alienman]

Things like that are hard to quantify, but woke shit really has no tradition here,

We're at maximum 5 years behind West in insanity. Slavic urban centres are full of Californian 2014 minded Slavs. And we're catching up (more and more Slavic studios, especially Polish, push SJW themes in their games). Everything else is cope. Russian, Serbian, Czech etc zoomer is AMERICAN in mind. Our millenials are less retarded but Slavic urban intelligentzia millenials have HUUUUGE BONER for Western cultural zeitgeist. The more western you are, the more high in social pyramid. Vavra himself is American from 80s America (which was based period)

The EU money came with a price.

Guys, sorry to interrupt your rants but I'm about to begin my first playthrough of KCD and I have two questions:

- are there any must-have mods even for a first playthrough? Like mods that fix badly-designed stuff or super frustrating game mechanisms.

- more specifically, I understand there's an in-game map showing your position and a compass: is it advisable to use mods that remove your position on the map and/or that remove the compass? This way, you have to rely on the map to try to get your bearings. I'm looking for maximum realism (though a detailed topographical map in the Middle Ages is admittedly not very realistic) and immersion (I love the idea of getting lost on a large map representing part of medieval Bohemia) but not if it makes the game super frustrating.

If the answer to both of the above quesitons is no, I'm perfectly fine going with vanilla.

I'm pretty sure hardcore mode handles that map issue for you, so sounds like you should play hardcore mode. Be warned though, the first KCD has very poor representation of intersectional identities and such, so you might find yourself unable to even, or worse case scenario, literally shaking.

I enjoyed playing vanilla, although I will say the combat can be a little janky sometimes.

Nah bro, I seriously doubt it means more than that. I am a mid level civil servant working in the area of EU Affairs (ie seemingly one of the most cuck-friendly fields imaginable). Few years ago our ministry created several jobs for what we informally call "gender commissars," usually one or two per section. I only saw two of those people once circa in 2018. They asked how do I include "gender dimension" ("genderová problematika") in my agenda, I told them that I dont, because it has no relevance for what I do. They made some noice about how "gender is always relevant" and left. Afterwards they asked to see all the issues of the newsletter that my unit prepares about current events in Brussels to carry out "gender analysis." We handed over several hundreds of documents and never heard back again. I specifically asked them if we could make our newsletter more gender-friendly by using pink font (since most people at the ministry are women) and my question was ignored. On another occasion, they asked all the employees to fill out some questionnaire about sexual harassment at the workplace. The result was that some women feel like they are being sexually harassed, but male employees dont see sexual harassment as a problem. There was no follow up, nor any actions taken. I guess those people just collect wages while doing fuck all from nine to five. If they were hired "specifically to implement diversity initiatives" they are an abject failure.

Now in the civil service we have all kinds of "codexes" and "statements" that contain all kinds of shit about "woke" stuff and such. I am sure that if someone would look at those documents alone, he would think that the Czech Republic is Canada style cuck dystopia. In reality the only people who ever read those documents are those who work in HR. Yes, there are a few genuine cucks here and there, but vast majority of people doesnt give a single fuck and people do and say things that would get them "cancelled" in five seconds over in Murica literally all the time with zero repercussions. I used to work for a major corporation at one point and I am sure there were similar documents there as well (hell my contract included an NDA that was much longer than the contract itself), except nobody gave a fuck (other than the HR people, I presume).

Yes, you cant discriminate against someone on the basis of race and all that jazz. I dont see that as "woke" or anything like that, its just how a civilised society should work. I dont deny that small minority of cucks would like to destroy this country by turning it into Germany or something (I even received an email from an employee of Academy of Sciences once, who listed his pronouns in the signature), but there is a clear social consensus that we dont want to go that way. I dont see that changing anytime soon, if ever. In any case, if there is one nation that is genetically equipped to subvert all kinds of ideological and/or bureuacratic retardation, its us.

Nah. You just overestimate the prevalence of wokeness here. And I think you also actually underestimate how bad the wokeness is in the west. There are very large groups of people who genuinely believe that crap to a degree that's difficult to imagine, like it's an internalized thing with no discussion about it, a level of delusion that I'm unable to describe with words. It's rare to meet people like that here.

Although I am worried about what zoomers are going to do. My hope is that generally each generation likes to protest against the previous one, so retarded zoomers protest against complacent millenials and post-commie gen Xers and the next generation is going to be more chill again. It's entirely possible it's going to get fucked just like the west, but we truly have a different historical experience with the commies already doing very similar things in the past, so there is some resilience. Also the "let's not repeat the west's mistakes" line is getting a bit more mainstream here - the Russian invasion and western unsurprisingly unsuccessful attempts at appeasement helped.


Exceptions exist of course - one of them is working for EU bureaucrats (or US agencies that are active here, it's not any better). One of the angriest people most full of absolute hate I've ever seen was a dude in his 50s who's one of the country's leading experts in his field, and after applying for an EU project he found out that if he wants to get it they require him to complete mandatory sexual harassment sensitivity training. The seething rage of a dude who proved his utmost competence with 30 years of hard work and just wants to do his fucking job well, after some dumb fucking cunts half his age and IQ want him to do something so retarded and undignified, I could not have imagined. I think he managed to get an exception in the end, but holy shit, they nearly lost one of the most competent people they could get for that specific job just because of this nonsense, which I assume is only going to happen more and more.

Guys, sorry to interrupt your rants but I'm about to begin my first playthrough of KCD and I have two questions:

- are there any must-have mods even for a first playthrough? Like mods that fix badly-designed stuff or super frustrating game mechanisms.

By default, the game only permits saving when sleeping or drinking a potion called Saviour's Schnapps. When I began playing KCD, I adhered to this saving mechanic, but it wasn't long until I experienced a crash resulting in an hour of progress lost, at which point I installed a mod allowing free-saving and never looked back. Though an alternative, if you prefer to avoid mods, is to learn how to read and how to brew this potion early on, which will then allow you effectively infinite free-saving as long as you remember to keep yourself well-stocked with it.
