    It's pretty horrendous. The Soviets are the bad guys in their own campaign, from the narration down to the unit design. There are moments, for example when you go to heroic lengths to save a comrade, but the subsequent cut scene completely ruins it. The tonal shift is super jarring. It gets a bit better after the first few missions, which lean heavily into tropes, and you eventually get to liberate Berlin. I can't recommend finishing it unless you're invested in the gameplay or just want to wreck some fascists.

    That said, I still play online pretty regularly as a Soviet main. DM me if you want to play coop sometime!






  • Yup, fuck 'em. I can't say I'm surprised. Being anti-vax strikes me as a potential indicator for being anti-union.

    One of my coworkers runs an anonymous distribution list that shares vaccine misinformation and tips about gumming up the works. All that energy wasted organizing bullshit. I know this because she called me to rant when the vaccine mandate was announced. We're unionized so its hard to fire people, but the few holdouts are being put on administrative leave in hopes that this all resolves itself. Its a mess, and I don't know if I should do anything with this information.
