Fuck the war!
Good afternoon
To begin with, I would like to say that my main goal as a developer has always been to captivate and entertain the player. Create an interesting story in which you could get away with your head and distract yourself from the problems in this world. But, unfortunately, today there is no escape from the real world.
Yesterday, the Russian Federation (the country where I was born and live) attacked Ukraine (a friendly state that did nothing to me, my family and friends) and is already preparing an assault on the capital – Kiev. I believe, and I am sure that adequate people also believe that an invasion of a foreign country is unacceptable. No matter what ridiculous excuses they come up with for this.
I understand that people are not interested in my opinion, because I am not a political scientist or some kind of expert. I'm nobody at all. I'm just making a not-so-popular adult game. But I couldn't keep quiet either.
I don't even know who I wrote this post for. What will it change? I understand that I cannot force Putin to leave, or at least change his mind. All opposition leaders are either in prison or have fled the country. I don't even have rallies in my city! So this post is just a cry from the heart, and an attempt to show that what is happening in Ukraine is the decision of one crazy old man who has lost touch with the reality of his and his retinue, and not the population of the country.
And I would like to add for people who live in countries far from us. Don't believe what Russian propaganda says. People in Ukraine do not deserve this. Nobody deserved it. And it is very important for Putin what people think about him abroad, and he spends a lot of effort to maintain his status. Believe me, he is a criminal who is holding me and my entire country hostage. And now, when the whole world has turned away from us, it is easier for him to do this. Even now, when I write this, I think that I can be imprisoned for this. Not a joke.
I will add that, perhaps, in the near future, the Internet will be turned off in Russia. Or severely restrict its use. Therefore, there is a chance that I will not be able to put a pause on withdrawing funds from you in April. So if I don't write anything from March 1 to March 10, then feel free to unsubscribe from me.
Once again, I'm sorry that I dumped a political post on you in a place where you come just to relax. I won't write anything more about politics, whatever may happen. I hope that next time I will be able to write something positive, please you with news or some content.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Нахуй войну!
Добрый день
Для начала я бы хотел сказать, что моя основная цель как разработчика всегда была увлечь и развлечь игрока. Создать интересную историю, в которую вы бы смогли уйти с головой и отвлечься от проблем в этом мире. Но, к сожалению, сегодня от реального мира не уйти.
Вчера Российская Федерация(страна где я родился и живу) напала на Украину(дружественное государство, которое ничего не сделало мне, моим близким и друзьям) и уже сейчас готовит штурм столицы – Киева. Я считаю, и уверен, что адекватные люди считают также, что вторжение в чужую строну недопустимо. Какие бы нелепые оправдания для этого не придумывали.
Я понимаю, что людям не интересно моё мнение, ведь я не политолог или какой-то эксперт. Я вообще никто. Я просто делаю не самую популярную игру для взрослых. Но промолчать я тоже не мог.
Я даже не знаю, для кого я написал этот пост. Что это изменит? Я понимаю, что заставить Путина уйти или хотя бы изменить решение, я не могу. Все оппозиционные лидеры либо в тюрьмах, либо сбежали из страны. У меня в городе даже митингов не проходит! Так что это пост просто крик души, и попытка показать, что то, что происходит в Украине, это решение одного сумасшедшего, потерявшего связь с реальностью деда и его свиты, а не населения страны.
И хотелось бы добавить для людей, которые живут в далёких от нас странах. Не верьте тому, что говорит Российская пропаганда. Люди в Украине ничем не заслужили такого. Никто не заслужил. И Путину очень важно, что о нём думают заграницей и он много усилий тратит на поддержание статуса. Поверьте, он преступник, который держит меня и всю мою страну в заложниках. И теперь, когда весь мир отвернулся от нас, ему легче это делать. Даже сейчас, когда я это пишу, я думаю, о том, что меня могут за это посадить. Не шутка.
Добавлю, что, возможно, в ближайшее время в России отключат интернет. Или сильно ограничат его использование. Поэтому есть шанс, что я не смогу поставить паузу на снятие с вас средств в Апреле. Так что если я ничего не напишу с 1 по 10 марта, то смело отписывайтесь от меня.
Ещё раз извините, что вывалил на вас политический пост в месте, куда вы приходите просто отдохнуть. Больше ничего о политике я писать не буду, чтобы не произошло. Надеюсь, что в следующий раз я смогу написать, что позитивное, порадовать вас новостями или каким-то контентом.
Берегите себя и своих близких.

Do not apologize for the political post: I am glad to hear you say this.
Well said my friend!!
Totally agree with what you said Pixels
Thank you, bro.
Stay safe, Pixels. I appreciate what you said, and I agree with you. But be careful.
Thanks. But I doubt that anyone from the police reads my page. I don't think I'm in danger right now. No one is attacking my country, but my country is. Which is very disappointing.
Dude it takes some guts to do this in a country where dissenters are actively being silenced. Stay safe my friend. I hope you'll be able to continue this game at some point but your safety comes first. Best of luck my friend.
Hello. Thank you, but I don't think I could really be in danger. As I wrote above, the chance that someone from the police will see this post is very small. And it is absolutely nothing compared to what is happening in Ukraine, where there is a real war, and people are hiding in bomb shelters and the subway. I was just hoping to convey to someone my thoughts about what is happening, to speak out somehow. I'm glad I was heard.
Hello, Im from Slovakia. I dont hold grude against Rusian people, Im sad what i see Ukrainian womens cross our borders in hundreds and most terrifying is that the price for war will pay common people.
Hello. Yes, it is difficult to imagine that such a thing happened in a seemingly civilized world, just because of the ambitions of one person. I hope everything will end soon, and people will be able to return home to a quiet life. I've always wanted to come to Slovakia for a vacation. They say it is a very beautiful country. But, apparently, now I won't be able to do it any time soon.
Don't pause. It is BS what is happening and it is good to know that there are Russians that do not like what is going on as well. So, thank you for telling us your opinion. I really hope nothing bad happens to you for just giving it, which is also ridiculous. It's amazing how we take things for granted over here.
I don't think anything will happen to me. It is unlikely that the police will check someone's posts on Patreon. But the fact itself is possible. We are literally imprisoned for likes under opposition posts. But I just wanted to speak out and somehow react to what is happening. Although my minor problems are absolutely nothing compared to what is happening in Ukraine right now.
I'm generally surprised that more hasn't written about it until now but I totally agree with you. I myself come from Germany and we are also feeling the effects of oil prices, and up to now 55% of the natural gas has come from Russia, which can probably change very quickly. I just hope that it will be over soon and that as few people as possible will have to suffer from it. but i am assuming that when putin takes over power in the ukraine, there will be another wave of refugees, from which the whole of europe will have to suffer again and of course the people it will affect too. pls stay safe ps: i don't want to hear from you that your game is not popular, you have created a beautiful game that i follow with enthusiasm. So don't make yourself smaller or worse than you are.
I don't think there will be any problem with energy. Most likely, Russia will still sell oil and gas. I also hope there will be as few victims as possible. And about the refugees - it's true. People are scared and running to save their lives. Even I was thinking of moving somewhere. And I'm not even in direct danger. But I have family here that I can't leave. So I'm sitting, hoping for the best and looking for options on how to improve my life at least a little.
I share your opinion and I envy you for the courage you have to share your opinion publicly. I don´t know if I would have the courage to do the same in Russia. I hope that you and your family stay safe.
I think I'm safe. Well, I don't think anyone cares about me. Therefore, I am 95% sure that nothing will happen. That's if I wrote it in social networks... The government specifically tracks them. Those who have real problems are Ukrainians. They have a war that shouldn't be.
Do not focus on countries or leaders. It is global problem of all people. Capitalist of any nation will go to any length to make money or save their investments. Look at what US or Europe does or done in history, you will be amazed of number and level of atrocities. So problem lies in ruling class which is in opposite side of all simple people (us). Nobody from Russia, Ukraine, US, France, China or Uganda has nothing to fight for between others. Only rich of this world have the need of killing us, working people.
Good post. Never be afraid to write from the heart. Putin cannot put 100 million people in prison.
Well, he's trying very hard. He tries to put everyone behind bars. Both us and Ukraine. I'm not sure I can speak for Ukrainians, but thank you for your support! I hope awareness helps a little.
Проблема ни в странах, проблема в капитализме, он так устроен. Кризисы он решает везде и всегда ровно одним способом, это война.
шож ты раньше молчал, шлопче? :(
