3 września serbskie władze aresztowały piątkę aktywistów anarchosyndykalistycznych z organizacji Anarho-sindikalistička inicijativa (ASI), w tym obecnego sekretarza międzynarodówki związkowej IWA-AIT. Policja stawia im zarzut „międzynarodowego terroryzmu”.
Cała sprawa ma swoje bezpośrednie źródło w wydarzeniach zeszłego tygodnia, gdy ktoś rzucił butelką z benzyną oraz namalował symbol „A” na greckiej ambasadzie w Belgradzie. Cała akcja spowodowała nieznaczne zniszczenia fasady. W oświadczeniu napisano, że akcji dokonała, nieznana bliżej, grupa „Czarna Ilja”, jako wyraz solidarności z Thodorosem Iliopoulosem – aktywistą greckim, który prowadzi głodówkę w więzieniu.
Ratibor Trivunac, aktywista ASI oraz sekretarz IWA-AIT, pytany przez media jeszcze przed aresztowaniem, czy jego organizacja ma coś wspólnego z atakiem, odpowiedział, że to nie jest w ich stylu. ASI zajmuje się organizacją masowego ruchu pracowniczego. Niedługo później został aresztowany. Wszystkie aresztowane osoby działy dotąd jawnie, Trivunac występował niejednokrotnie w mediach, krytykując rząd, kapitalistów i sprzedajne związki zawodowe, przez co naraził się wielu wpływowym osobom.
Związek Syndykalistów Polski, którego siostrzaną organizacją jest ASI, rozpoczął międzynarodową kampanię solidarnościową. Prosi o wysyłanie listów do serbskich władz z żądaniem uwolnienia zatrzymanych.

The only one that sounds good to me, perhaps, are the voting rights. I’d pay for that. Patreon artists and creators do this sort of thing, and if this is something GOG needs to do to get by, then fine by me.
Downloading offline installers/backups, however… That would be locking away a feature that exists now to everyone that has bought a game. That means locking away a feature from customers who have spent money on a product already… Likely for the explicit point of being able to get installers that don’t need an online connection. If they choose to do this, they’d be desfeting their own purpose.
For context; I bought most of my games on GOG. I don’t really buy games anymore, and my Steam library is low absolutely massive, however. Both of those reasons are because I’ve been subbed to Humble Monthly for a few years. But ultimately when I go looking to buy a game, my preference is to buy from GOG specifically because it’s offline and DRM free.
Imo (and most other fan’s opinions) you should absolutely start with the OG, if nothing else than to see how gaming has evolved and such.
If you’re feeling it, I’d recommend just jumping into BM. With the original being so fresh in your mind, you’ll really appreciate the work these people put into their remake. It’s so full of love for everything in the original (and a bit of HL2) that it still kinda blows me away with all the little details and such. The scientists and other NPCs all look distinct now and have different personalities and voices, and before shit hits the fan you’ll hear plenty of little banter and idk chat between your coworkers as you make your way to the rest chamber.
There’s also, as a mod for Black Mesa, another team remaking Blue Shift in the new engine and all. They’re not done with the game yet, but what they have is about 3-4 hours worth of story finished (the first 5 or 6 levels I believe), and it’s actually expanded on even more than in Black Mesa or the original Blue Shift. There are more named characters, extra parts added to missions, and it feels like the same care went into remaking Blue Shift as went into making Black Mesa.
There’s also a fun part at the beginning that has an overlap with Black Mesa where you, as Barney, see Gordon go by in the tram, and I think he flips you off in like a teasing playful way.
It absolutely brought me back to the late 90s shooters I grew up with. Lots of fun, but there were also a lot of parts I got stuck on, too. I will need some time before I play again / consider the BM version - maybe after HL2. Thanks for the additional info.
The previews are mostly positive but some opinions are mixed. It sounds like Eternal where some people love it while others aren’t thrilled about the new changes.
I’d pay for native linux support. They should provide direct support to Heroic if they don’t want to take on the cost themselves full bore. I remember some AMA they did where the cost of Linux wasn’t worth their already thin margins and they were happy with Heroic. If they were ever going to grow, I’d believe that they would need to address the handheld market and getting their storefront more visible
Has been since the 2019 mass layoff i guess. Their galaxy development was questionable at best since then. Only noticeable action was marketing. I see CDPR/GOG pretty critic with their new billionaire CEO nowadays, sadly.
such a strange survey. it was all about “exclusive access” and “extra perks”. i just want to support game fixes so that everyone gets access, but that wasn’t part of it.
I mean, if you’re giving them money monthly for a “Preservation Members Tier” then isn’t that exactly what you’d be doing? You’re just getting some perks as well.
Well I’m already giving them money threough purchasing (200+) games through their store. I don’t need or want any cloud features or a “badge” for that. If their calculation does not fit giving me what they promised, tough. As an aside, I recently had to contact their support, and it was a good, competent experience. So the folks they have are good and should be supported, but not through a f* subscription, but through the regular earnings. That said, I’m completely happy with the Heroic launcher and rather donate there than to join a gog club.
It’s not that bad. They have three difficulty settings: Normal, Black Mesa, and Hard. I played on Normal and I haven’t really struggled anywhere. I think I’ve only died once in my whole gameplay, and it was when I was fighting off waves of Marines flooding a single large space that I couldn’t leave. I’m assuming “Black Mesa” is their suggested difficulty level.
I told them I’d like a GOG style humble choice. If they’re not willing to give actual games, I’d be interested in a subscription to help game preservation, but probably only $5 a month max.
A humble choice like subscription service would be pretty great honestly. $10ish a month for maybe 1 AA/AAA modern game and a handful of retro and indie games would have me on board immediately. Starting to charge for things they currently or have previously offered for free is not the way to win people over.
BG3 has great voice acting, but I don’t really think it’s that far beyond any other games. As a personal example, Cherami Leigh as Female V in Cyberpunk 2077 is probably my favorite voice actor in the last several years, even if BG3 is probably my favorite game in that same time.
Dude Cherami Leigh also voiced my favorite gaming character, Gaige the Mechromancer from Borderlands 2. She’s fucking phenomenal.
It’s a bummer none of the echo logs made it into the game, but they’re still great. The fact that she cuts her arm, and then instead of patching it up, she just slices her arm clean off and then builds a mecha arm WHILE she’s bleeding out is so fuckin hardcore. I love it
