Ale Ukraińcy nie musieli mieć państwa żeby móc mordować Polaków na Wołyniu, tak jak Polacy nie potrzebowali państwa by mordować Żydów w Jedwabnem.
To nie dlatego powinniśmy zostawić tę kwestię za sobą. Powinniśmy to zrobić przede wszystkim dlatego, że Wołyń został dość krwawo pomszczony, i również w ramach tak zwanych “akcji odwetowych” zginęło wielu niewinnych ludzi. Ciągłe uparte powracanie do tego powoduje tylko przenoszenie tamtego cierpienia na następne pokolenia. Próbuje się szukać zadośćuczynienia zbrodni o podłożu nacjonalistycznym w nakręcaniu nacjonalizmu jeszcze bardziej.
Dziękuję Panu za komentarz. Bardzo chciałam porozmawiać o tym z Polakami. Ponieważ ta kwestia została szeroko zbadana w Ukrainie. Istnieją setki artykułów na ten temat i uważam, że niesprawiedliwe jest oskarżanie Ukrainy i Ukraińców o zbrodnie popełnione przez Moskwę.
Rozumiem, dlaczego to wszystko się dzieje - Moskwa bardzo boi się przywrócenia Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów. Proszę o przeczytanie fragmentu z naszej strony internetowej “Istoryczna prawda”. Jeśli Pan sobie życzy, może Pan przetłumaczyć resztę artykułu www.istpravda.com.ua/columns/2025/02/7/164718/
“Ukraińcy nie są większymi mordercami niż Polacy. W tej historii ukraińskie dzieci Sagryna z jakiegoś powodu nie są ofiarami ludobójstwa. Prawie 30 tysięcy Ukraińców zostało zabitych przez Polaków w tej krwawej historii. Ale Sagryn nie jest ludobójstwem. Ale Ukraińcy są ludobójcami. Oddział Armii Krajowej podczas niszczenia ukraińskiej wsi Sagryn, 10 marca 1944 r. Prezydent Duda żąda od Ukraińców większego zadośćuczynienia niż od Rosjan. W polskim dyskursie przedwyborczym nie usłyszycie o grzechach Rosjan ani nazistów: tylko o Ukraińcach.
Czy słyszymy dziś jakieś wypowiedzi polskich polityków, że Rosja powinna zapłacić za swoje grzechy Polakom? Nie. W Warszawie, w ciągu kilku dni w listopadzie 1794 r. wojska rosyjskie wymordowały, według różnych szacunków, od 20 do 30 tysięcy Polaków. Czy kiedykolwiek słyszeliście w tej kampanii przedwyborczej, że tę masakrę należy uznać za ludobójstwo i że Rosjanie powinni za to ludobójstwo odpokutować? Podczas „operacji polskiej” NKWD rozstrzelano 111 tysięcy Polaków. Czy słyszymy dziś jakieś wypowiedzi polskich polityków, że Rosja powinna zapłacić za to ludobójstwo Polakom? Nie.
W ciągu kilku miesięcy wiosną 1940 r. rozstrzelano bez procesu 22 000 polskich oficerów-jeńców wojennych. Czy słyszymy dziś jakieś oświadczenia polskich polityków, że Rosja powinna zapłacić za te mordy Polaków? Nie.
W ciągu kilku dni na początku sierpnia 1944 r. w dzielnicy „Wola” w Warszawie naziści zabili więcej Polaków, niż zginęło na całym Wołyniu podczas całej okupacji hitlerowskiej. Czy polscy politycy już zagłosowali za uznaniem mordów Polaków dokonanych przez nazistów w Warszawie za ludobójstwo i przypominają nam o tym wydarzeniu co roku za pomocą rezolucji sejmowych? Nie.
16 maja 1953 r., dwa miesiące po śmierci Stalina, Ławrientij Beria napisał w raporcie do Wiaczesława Mołotowa: „3a w okresie od 1944 do 1953 r. w zachodnich obwodach Ukrainy aresztowano, zamordowano i deportowano do 500 tysięcy osób, z których:
aresztowano pod zarzutem przynależności do antyradzieckiego podziemia nacjonalistycznego - 103 003 osoby. w tym 82 930 osób skazano na areszt w obozach i więzieniach; - aresztowano pod zarzutem szpiegostwa, sabotażu, sabotażu, zamiarów terrorystycznych, agitacji antyradzieckiej, pomocy i podżegania oraz udziału w akcjach karnych organów i wojsk niemiecko-faszystowskich podczas okupacji zachodnich obwodów Ukrainy - 31 464 osoby;
w tym skazano na areszt w obozach i więzieniach - 26 787 osób; zamordowano,jako członkowie szpiegowskich grup terrorystycznych podziemia nacjonalistycznego - 153 259 osób".
Tak więc zamordowano 153 259 Ukraińców z ukraińskiego podziemia antykomunistycznego. Większość z nich pochodziła z OUN i UPA. Czyli reżim komunistyczny zabił więcej Ukraińców z podziemia nacjonalistycznego antykomunistycznego niż było ich w UPA. I więcej niż polscy politycy przypisują UPA polskich ofiar: to bzdura, gdy liczbę ofiar konfliktu polsko-ukraińskiego ustalają politycy w głosowaniu, a nie historycy w badaniach!”
„Wyjaśniamy, że nie zamierzamy likwidować ludności polskiej, a to, co się stało, było konieczne dla naszej obrony. Nie naruszamy krwi spokojnej ludności polskiej” [Olchovsky I. A. Krwawy Wołyń. Księga 2: Ukraińsko-polska konfrontacja na terenie rejonu turyjskiego obwodu wołyńskiego w latach 1939-1945. – K., 2011., 16-18].
Jest to próba nawiązania porozumień między ukraińskim podziemiem a dowództwem jednego z polskich oddziałów partyzanckich. Z monografii Rafała Vnuka i Grzegorza Motyki dowiadujemy się, że chodzi o Zygmunta Rumla – „Krzysztofa Porębę” i Krzysztofa Markiewicza – „Chartę”. Wersja polskich autorów nie zawiera żadnych szczegółów tego incydentu, podano jedynie, że polscy dowódcy zostali zabici przez Ukraińców w trakcie negocjacji [Motyka G., Wnuk R. Pany i rezuny. Współpraca AK-WiN i UPA. 1945—1947. — Warszawa, 1997, 75—76].
Porozumienia te zostały zerwane atakiem Polaków na ukraińską kwaterę główną w nocy z 10 na 11 lipca. Ukraińscy powstańcy odparli atak i w odpowiedzi „postanowili ukarać polską kwaterę główną z największą surowością, co też uczynili, a ludność polska, na której terytorium ta kwatera się znajdowała, ucierpiała” [Kronika UPA. Nowa seria. — Tom 11: Kronika UPA. Nowa seria. — Tom 11: Siatka OUN(b) i ariergarda UPA na terenie oddziałów wojskowych „Zagrawy”, „Turiwa”, „Bohuna” (sierpień 1942 — grudzień 1943). — K. — Toronto, 2007., 754].)
a co do Żydów - to nie jest narodowość, Żydzi nagle stali się narodowością dopiero za Stalina, który chciał ich wypędzić z ZSRR. W Imperium Rosyjskim obywateli dzieliła tylko religia - chrześcijanie i żydzi. Innymi słowy, żydzi to ci, którzy wyznawali judaizm (a w starożytności, podczas zajmowania naszych ziem przez Bizancjum, większość ludzi była przymusowo nawracana na chrześcijaństwo bizantyjskie - tak “Włodzimierz ochrzcił Ruś” - kolejna fałszywa legenda Moskwy)
They’re notorious for publishing half assed games with great potential, but tend to be fairly open to the modding community patching things up and enhancing the experience.
If you ever would consider replaying it,
look into TheMidnightRide,
which is a great quality of life modpack for Fallout 4: themidnightride.moddinglinked.com
I would definitely get into it again if I ended up owning it on another store. Xbox App version PC straight up won’t let me download some of the mods in-game and has write protection all over the actual files so I didn’t bother
PC Game Pass so I don’t technically own it 🤣 but yeah even if I owned it on the Xbox App it would behave the same as I described which is why I would never buy my games other if I could pick any other store
I sometimes wonder what will happen when EAC, that has root access to millions of PCs, gets compromised or has grunty employee and pushes malicious update
Holy fuck I did not know about Overwolf. That’s the last time I download something from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).
I think it’s kind of ironic you call your friend apparently a dipshit for not knowing something you also didn’t know… pot calling the kettle black & all.
Then the death squads will come in, and they’ll ask ‘how could this possibly happen!?’, getting fucking pissed or saying “we couldn’t have known!” when you answer, and offer an ‘i fucking told you so’ in line for the camps.
You’re there too, because they tagged you in everything.
Heck yeah. I play Helldivers a ton and when a newbie is in my game I bring a mech suit and some kind of secondary weapon for them to use an experience just how cool it can be. Someone did it for me and I’m definitely passing it on whenever I can.
I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.
It’s… probably not what you’re looking for but I’ll throw Warframe into the ring just in case. It’s technically an MMO I think? And not exactly a traditional RPG progression either. There are definitely boobs, but your character won’t look like you
Tap for spoileruntil you progress through a sufficient quantity of the main story, and even then still not part of your standard gameplay.
But it checks the slaughtering hordes of enemy box. Power Fantasy is turned on day one I think
Is Warframe still nice to start out with in 2025? I remember installing it a while back and being overwhelmed by the amount of info and options and not really knowing how to simply progress the story in the original way.
it definitely still can be, the devs have been putting a lot of work into streamlining and improving the new player experience, so a lot of the overwhelming options are still available but more things are trying to point you forward. All of the main story quests are separated out in your codex now with their unlock requirements, otherwise the advice I have always heard is: explore the star chart and unlock new planets. Which will never let you down if you’re feeling lost
I love Warframe, but I don’t like how it steals focus during loading screens. I’m kinda pissed off at it. I need a better window manager before I can get back into Warframe
Different games have different rules for how summoning works. If memory serves, Dark 2 was the “worst” because it was fully based on soul memory and you may have even incremented that by wiping without spending? Whereas I think Dark 3 was a mix of highest upgrade level for gear on you combined with Soul Level?
In general? When the game is new or having a community wide resurgence, no. There will always be someone who is SL200 in newbie village. When the game is older and not played regularly, yes. There are various sites (never trust fandom or fextralife) that list recommended level ranges but as long as you aren’t actively grinding more than a level or two extra per region, you are fine.
All that said? Be VERY careful about playing any of the PC Dark Souls games online because they are mostly abandoned by From. I believe the outright RCE was fixed but you can still have your game ruined. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-XFIfmJ2T8 is a great video on the topic.
You are partly correct about DS2. It did increment even by wiping without spending the souls, but on the other hand the ranges involved meant that there was very likely always someone in range.
Were all Take Two games automatically updated in secret and now hijack your machine with root access to spy on everything you do? ❌
Do Take Two games contain code to report telemetry and user information(including application/system activity) to a home server? ✅
Is this EULA change extraordinary and particularly egregious in comparison to others that most people have probably already agreed to? ❌(IMO)
Are people riled up because e a YouTube video went a little viral and now they’re all playing telephone to the point where it’s now gotten to the point of random dumdums are review booming a 13 year old game claiming it’s turned into literal spyware? ✅(again, IMO)
Should you be surprised by any of this if you’ve been even remotely paying attention for any period of the last 30-40 years? ❌
Do we need more than just angry idiots in the battle against corpatocracy? ✅
We should be done coddling the late comers at this point. Yes welcome them and accept them, but at a certain point your level of ignorance became a detriment to your community and you should be made aware of that fact.
A bit more than what, not really sure what your point here is? All of those bullet points are similar if not identical to terms in other EULAs half the people in this thread have already clicked thru.
I’ll say it again, if you think this is anything new you haven’t been paying attention. I’m all for calling this fuckery out and pushing for something better. But like where yall been?
Still no actual answers from anyone on how this is ‘more’ than what I described in my op. Sure it’s a more detailed list, but it’s really not the “gotcha” everyone seems to think it is. That is, if youve been paying attention.
Let’s ride the wave. Turn this into a huge controversy known industry-wide. Then, next game that comes out with EULA like this, we say “THIS GAME HAS A BORDERLANDS-STYLE EULA”. Pretend it’s new to exploit the shock value and get the gamers riled up. Then, the industry gets better.
Tell the frog that the pot wasn’t always this hot.
What point are you trying to make? You say you’re “all for calling this kind of fuckery out” but then you’re criticizing people for calling it out? And who cares what other EULAs might say? The point is that the license agreement for this game and others owned by this company didn’t say this shit before, and now they do. The company is actively making their user agreement more hostile to the users which is what people are pissed about.
That it takes more critical thinking to accomplish the organized action needed for real change than leaving a bunch of negative reviews.
I never once said ‘other company’s do it so just deal with it.’ Fuckawhataboutism. I said “if you think this is new, you haven’t been paying attention.” What I shouldn’t have left unsaid was ‘the review is a nice start and show of intention. but we need a lot more dedicated, well organized action, to actually accomplish any change.’
But people read into things what they want to hear.
If you look at Valve’s TOS or any other game developer who has games with an online component, you will see the exact same language regarding data collection. The language being added is to comply with laws, like the GDPR, which requires specific language indicating what data is collected and how it is used.
The data that is being collected is the same as it was 10 years ago. There’s nothing new here, just a YT video that got a lot of views and social media being full of people who don’t fact check anything.
Some people will always find an excuse to change nothing.
It doesn’t matter how many similar EULA’s people have already accepted. The best moment to not eat it anymore would have been the first time it happened, the second best time is right now.
Also, retroactively amending an EULA is a different quality, since people have already paid for the game and would be locked out after the fact if they didn’t accept.
I’m sad you read this as an admission of defeat and an attempt to deter others from fighting. Was hoping for more of a ‘you’re late, you have a bunch of homework to catch up on’ vibe but I’m not great at communicating all the time.
It seems like you’re giving of a “victim” vibe with this by stating you wished for only a particular type of “positive response” when you’ve posted a misleading comment and doubled-down with “EULAs half the people in this thread have already clicked thru” which you have no way of knowing.

10.2. Updates, Modifications, and Sunset. We may provide patches, updates, or upgrades to the Services, Virtual Items, Content, or your Account that may be required for you to continue using the Services, including automatic or “in the background” updates without notice to you.
“Was hoping for more of a ‘you’re late, you have a bunch of homework to catch up on’” You’re expecting others to hold your hand and inform you of every event or action taken by every company. I guess I’ll do my part since I have been trying to let other people know for a while now,
Steam Discussion deleted after questioning the “EULA” of Stormgate, another post by me after I tried to inform others and was suppressed, meaning the reviews is the only course of action that most have at their disposal. Even posting on their official subreddit did no good with the exact same type of response you’ve presented here,
They didn’t collect such information (they technically couldn’t), they are giving examples of such types of personally identifiable information.
Yeah, it’s excessive, they don’t need half of this. However, writing it this way makes it near impossible for them to screw up by accident. If you play games, you probably agreed to a handful of ELUA’s like that by now.
This keeps getting brought up in every controversial game these days and the answer is always the same: They aren’t.
Most of this is not out of the ordinary.
Imagine thinking all of this information about you isn’t already owned by several corporations lol.
Some of these stuffs are required in X countries not yours, stop thinking the entire world is all about you buddy.
You’ve officially become part of the problem and an ally to the very same reason why we can’t “accomplish the organized action needed for real change (than leaving a bunch of negative reviews.)”
I get that and agree, this is just a crappy and kinda dumb stick to be wasting the energy on because it makes the side opposing the injustice look like petulant children instead of enabling effective action.
I see this kind of comment before and I will never understand it - “other companies do it so just bend over and let us do it to you too!”
People say this all the time about Denuvo too: “Other games already have Denuvo, why are you crying about it here when you’re playing other games?”
And see, that’s the problem - we aren’t playing those other Denuvo games. And same thing applies here, guess what, a lot of us aren’t buying games from gross companies like EA with these shit terms. So when a company we are doing business with suddenly changes their terms to be shit, that’s a valid complaint. Some of us have already been boycotting bad business practices in the industry, so the idea of company changing terms towards the boycott after we’ve already invested in the game feels like a betrayal because it is.
So maybe stop focusing on what you assume the rest of audience is doing and instead go back to focusing on what the people at the goddamn podium are trying to pull?
Why does everyone insist on adding the ‘so just bend over and take’ part whenever someone points out another source of wrongdoing? Like what do yall always take it to mean that the speaker is implying a whataboutism argument? And not maybe as ‘oh shit this has been going on longer than just this maybe we should learn about that too and we might figure out why it hasn’t been stopped yet.’
If “everyone” keeps reading a sentiment you did not intend out of your message, perhaps it is time to consider that you are doing a poor job of communicating your point.
Or you’re being disingenuous and just don’t like being calling on your hissy fit.
Would it shock you to know that ALL of these are in the Steam terms of service also?
The only really sus one to me is the forced arbitration clause, and Steam also had that til they were pressured to remove it by multiple legal cases, including a class action brought to them by Steam users just last September. It is only sus because it’s outdated - companies are generally removing them now rather than adding them. legal.io/…/Valve-Removes-Mandatory-Arbitration-fr…
RE: remaining top 5 bullet points, 3 of the remaining 4 bullet points are uncontroversial bullet points about anticheat. The fourth is banning modding, which is also just a heavy handed anticheat attempt, and not uncommon for online games to add to their ToS to allow banning at their discretion. Either way its clumsy at the least as some mods can be harmless eg HUD mods for colourblind people and deserves some negativity - but not to this level, given everything else is just so boilerplate.
Collected data types: these are all for if you buy stuff with a credit card / paypal / etc off 2k/parent company Take 2. Remember, they sell games with in-game purchases. They also have an app which has location permissions option which is what the precise location is about.
So yes - again, as OP said, this is nothing controversial if you have paid attention to ToS meaning and content over the past 20 years.
Aside from the forced arbitration crap - which Steam, Microsoft, Amazon, Lyft, Uber, Google, AT&T - and hundreds of other major companies all snuck into their ToS over the years, and many have now been legally pressured to remove by consumer rights group. That is stupid because it shows their legal team is behind the times, companies are mostly removing their forced arbitration clauses nowadays because it has been the cause of many lost class actions.
Not a lot. Even when it isn’t a flatpak windows software running on linux won’t be able to interact with the system anywhere near as much as on windows.
How locked down a flatpak is depends entirely on the developer and what permissions they request. By default, they can’t really see much. For example, they can’t even see the processes running on your host or your user and system files.
Flatpak does not do anything about network access though, it can only do no access or full access, no in between. The data they can collect on Linux in a Flatpak is very limited but it does not prevent them from calling home.
So…if Steam is running in a Flatpak, and Borderlands is launched from Steam, how much can they even see…really?
Without using exploits to escape the container, not much. A very empty Windows environment with a single game installed, your network interfaces and any directories that the Flatpak has access to (usually just the SteamLibrary directories).
The TOS (www.take2games.com/legal/en-US/) changes are mostly related to data that they collect via their interfacing with Steam and through their website. This idea that they’re requiring you to agree to a root level access or installing a spyware rootkit is just nonsense.
A youtuber named Hellfire has been on a spree, basically discovering how fucked up EULAs have been in games for the past 20ish years… well this is all brand new news to him and and his Zoomer / Gen A followers.
There is, as of right now, literally zero evidence that Borderlands 2 has been updated with a rootkit, with kernel level anti cheat, anything like that.
The last update to its game files was 2 years ago.
This is almost certainly them updating the EULA everywhere, the precise timing of this being for some specific arcane legal and business reasons… TakeTwo runs a whole bunch more games than juat Borderlands… namely GTA V…
…
Is this EULA bad? Yes.
Is it much worse than it was before, or what other large gaming companies EULAs have, and have had for… a decade+?
Maybe by a bit, but not really, no.
…
Is Randy Pitchford a dumb idiot asshole?
Oh absolutely yes, but that shouldn’t give people the liscense to make completely unevidenced claims about other things.
…
The game does not have a kernel level AC or some kind of rootkit DRM, as many, many people are currently saying it does.
I guess gamer attention span can really hold onto a few keywords and phrases at a time.
… I say this all as person who is vehemently against kernel level AC, who has been pointing out for 4 years, that almost all existing anti cheat systems currently have at least one game that implements their AC, on linux, without using kernel level anything… it is entirely possible to do AC without kernel level shit, even on linux, and has been for at least 4 years. EAC and BattleEye have supported linux for 4 years, but nearly no game that uses them has actually used this feature/available and offered support.
I am glad that this level of hate is finally being directed at shitty EULAs, but lets at least get our facts straight, or actually provide some hitherto unseen evidence that Borderlands has had some kind of sleeper malware in it for at least the past two years, just waiting to be activated by a TOS update to every single Take Two game.
Moja rodzina jest z pogranicza. W jednym pokoleniu się żenili, w następnym się rżnęli. A czasem i to i to. Tak było od wieków i nikt normalny nie robił z tego sprawy na pokolenia.
Oczywiście, bo w rzeczywistości Polacy, Ukraińcy i Białorusini byli kiedyś jednym narodem. Znalazłam nawet na mapach Ukrainy jednogłowego orła na czerwono-białym tle z napisem “Ukraina Kozacka”. Musimy zrozumieć, że historię piszą nasi wrogowie i będziemy musieli ją przepisywać przez kilka kolejnych stuleci…

Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)
I find the pod optimization to be a bit more so so now a days. It saves from calling a resupply at the start, but many of the new maps are urban and have more goodies lying around.
They improved it over time, if you're using a password you can play without level limits in DS3 and Elden Ring. You'll still be nerfed if your level is higher though.
Not so fast, I kind of side-lined Clair Obscure for this game and I need to get back to that. Plus my friend has been telling me to play Dredge. Good thing summer vacations are on, I’ll definitely add The Outer Worlds on my playlist, thanks
Oooh I picked up Dredge in some Steam sale of yore, need to check it out.
The Outer Worlds is fucking phenomenal, dude. It’s pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when I heard the New Vegas studio was making a space game.
If I recall correctly it sorta changes over the course of the games. I think DS1 was primarily focused on character level, or souls spent on levels, while DS2 had a separate tracking system based on how many souls you have collected in total. Can’t speak too much on DS3 though.
For DS1 and DS2 at least, you definitely can climb those ranks to the point it’s difficult to find someone else that’s online and in your bracket, yeah.
