I've never understood the hate that fangames and most fanfiction gets. If it's of high quality, then it's no different than another developer being commissioned to create a sequel, so why do people act like it's a lesser art form for a modder, when they respect a studio who does right by the source material? All too often, we don't get enough of a world before that world stops being developed, and theres a sense of loss and grief that fans go through when they dont want that world to go away yet. Modders create more of that world for us, and I love them for it. I've never been able to create an entire mod worthy of release, so I have a lot of respect an love for modders.
I love your way of interlacing videos you make with tidbits of Russian culture. It's always very interesting to hear about. I couldn't do the same about my native culture (Czech).
There's this guy, Akruas, who has a yt channel where he's building a vaguely "Central/Eastern European" city in Cities Skylines while sharing a lot of cool and interesting info about Czechia and its history. A really fascinating watch, you may want to czech it out to see what he has to say about your shared culture. Search Altengrad series if you're interested.
@@sawyere2496 as a fellow American of Czech descent (hence the last name) i took a college class about the Czechs and it was pretty cool. They have a lot of cool inventions and thinkers. But also a lot of beer and castles 😂
The MP5 is still being produced, by more countries and companies than it was in the 80s. Its nearly unrivaled in recoil control due to its roller locking system. Police and other "professional" opperators are only just starting to have viable replacements to even consider adopting. So given that, four years in the future there would be more than enough MP5 variants to go around and make perfect sense to make an appearance here.
I would think that the mp5 would fall out of use rather quickly with deus ex cyber augmentations, if every competent enemy would have them it would make more sense for higher caliber weaponry to become even more popular. A better smg might be the p90 as it was specifically made to penetrate body armor, although I could be wrong
@@aa-tr9xt The P90 was designed to penetrate soft armor. Materials other than human flesh sometimes make bullets like the slower but heavier 9mm penetrate better than high velocity lower mass rounds rounds like the P90's 5.7. Paul Harrell has a video demonstrating this here:ruclips.net/video/ZQg2ubOCSbw/видео.html
@@aa-tr9xt True, however a lot of the time firearms will get used by virtue of sheer abundance if nothing else. So probably the _cops_ might not be using the MP5 anymore, but you would probably see a lot of thugs and gang members using them simply because that's what they had access to.
This is just awesome. I was hoping that you will show the Omar ending and spend more time on their story, as it’s the most thoughtful fraction in the game. Vladimir also has a story behind him, which you can find out if you read some books and a computer at his home. Also, Titan and Thanatos are Evangelion-like creatures, not silicon-based AIs (although this is not obvious and is only mentioned in a few texts). You can also find Lucius DeBeers in Paris. Regarding the weapon models and the authenticity, the models were donated by some guy from the dev community, so we had to use what we had. You won’t believe how insanely hard it is to create weapon models for the Unreal 1 engine. Without that donation, we would most likely had to use the original ones. Pretty much the same applies to the story and writing. We were happy when we found our first writer during the late stage of the mod development. That’s right, the story was solidified just a couple of years before the release. Regarding the Engrish version, the mod was first released in Russian just a few weeks before Human Revolution was out. So we were in a hurry to release an English version. I had to spend quite a lot of money on the translation services, but the amount of text is just huge, so the quality still sucked. Overall, I think it went very well. It was one of those ambitious projects that took ages and never came out. There were several times I considered to just abandon it because the lack of the resources. But luckily, I was able to finish it.
glad your mod came out as well as it did, even with its flaws (like how heavy weapons and rifles should've probably been merged into one since there's barely any heavy weapons in the mod, or some bits of the Paris section could've been less harsh), and loved the direction of putting real life guns in contrasts to the futuristic DX1 arsenal (also very well animated ones, wish there was an addon for that in DX1 prequel mods), and the story is pretty solid. Wish the mod got a better translation and english VA, though. Also, FUCKING CALLED IT WITH THE EVANGELION REFERENCES!
....really? maybe you should look closely. you dropped an ANOTHER overUSED term. or rather, a meaning made up by some sick weirdo that just crawled out of his hole to have an excuse to create it, just like with others of its "kind". why the hell you people are still making that sick crap? ugh, at this point, nobody in this world are no longer the proper, sane people that pull this crap out of their heads on to the endless pit that is the internet. you can call me insane, crazy, psychotic, whatever, but there is no absolute point of doing IT at all, "just for sh*ts and giggles" is just some excuse that doesn't prove anything, as for other dumb reasons. by the way, endless pit of shorts and a another source of the "sick stuff" i mentioned earlier that is tiktok is gonna be blocked in europe.

Those games are considered to be boomer RPGs or its your take? Big 4 boomer RPGs are Ultima, Might and Magic, Bard's Tale and the best one - Wizardry. Then you have Golden Box titles following Pool of Radiance formula. The last boomer RPGs I would say were Realms of Arkania, Darklands and Betrayl at Krondor all coming out in the early 90s.
@@ComradeReptiloid Interesting question. I get the impression that the boomer in RPG's may not have anything to do with the actual boomer gen, since I have heard the 80's and early 90's RPG's referred to as pre-boomer. As a gen X'er, I grew up on Bard's Tale and Ultima. Also worth noting that I don't know a single boomer who ever played Doom or Wolfenstein, but those seem to be referenced as boomer shooters. Closest thing were some early gen X'ers that played Marathon, but they might have been close to the boomer/gen X cusp. Suffice to say, naming and classification might be more a matter of convention than it is about concept.
@@induspherix In this context boomer media is from (or influenced by) the 90s. It's connected to a meme called the 30-year-old boomer, in which the character has a "good old days" mindset taken from stereotypical baby boomers.
12:29 That's actually a cut piece of content from base game Hong Kong. Gunfire sensors are the actual reason why the Triads fight each other with swords - because guns attract cops.
Warlockracy's videos are genuinely my favourite to watch. It's such a treat the way you weave obscure (to my African context) historical and recent politico-historical elements to videos about games; it enriches them in a way no other creator I follow comes close to achieving.
@@nsv8613 I'm from South Africa! At the moment things are quite dire unfortunately, as corruption and incompetence are hollowing out the country's infrastructure and government processes. One of the most pressing issues is that of our energy grid, which has lead to loadshedding measures taking place on our national energy grid, which are essentially scheduled blackouts at certain times, which depending on the stage of loadshedding, can range from 2 hours to 4 hours or more at a time. Among many other problems, be it inflation, crime, difficulty finding employment, it often feels like being aboard a sinking ship. I hate to deliver you such a depressing reply haha, so I'll talk about the history of the country briefly! South Africa has a very rich and interesting history, one marred with racism, struggle, and opression, but interesting nonetheless. And since it had only (comparatively) recently broken free of Apartheid, there are many many people who can tell give you countless first-hand accounts of what it was like living in apartheid and resisting it. One such person is my dad himself for example! A lot of the social issues in the country center around race, which in a number of ways persist today, as is the nature of things like that. In my opinion, something that makes reconciling it more difficult is the influence of American race politics skewing people's attitudes here, because while there is racism, its a completely different context; namely that the population is majority black, for example. And that a lot of racism here (if I'm choosing to be charitable) from white people comes from attitudes purposefully cultivated by the Apartheid government. If you're interested, look up Hendrik Verwoerd, thought of as the architect of Apartheid. One of the lines of thought that he cultivated in a lot of white people's minds at the time of Apartheid was that the various cultures within the country were completely imiscible, and that it would be 'better' if people lived separately, by race. And it just so happened that the white people got all the best land and black people didn't (if you want to learn about that look up homelands and forced removals during apartheid). Things like that are interesting to learn about, in spite of the malice behind them when they were perpetrated. Something I think is cool is that South Africa has a habit of popping up unexpectedly in places, like the first successful heart transplant was conducted by a South African doctor, Christian Barnard; or that the iconic Halo sniper rifle was directly inspired by one produced by the South African company Denel. In short, this country can be summarised as a lot of struggle, stemming from colonialism and the Apartheid machine, from which the country managed to break away comparatively peacefully (without a civil war specificelly), but over time as the old guard (Nelson Mandela, OR Tambo, etc.) passed away it gave way to greed and corruption that has induced the fall from comparative grace the country is currently experiencing. I didn't set out to type such a long reply but I hope it was interesting nonetheless!
@@hillbillypowpow as an FSB agent I can tell he hasn't said anything punishable. Yet. Carry on, we are watching But seriously, I've watched almost every Warlockracy's video. he isn't saying anything that could cause him problems
Your content is the most unique thing I've witnessed in a long time, this combination of old video games and contemporary political issues is a match made in heaven. Please be very careful out there.
Actually no. I for one would rather he stick to the boomer video games (in the context of this channel at least)... Considering the mess in the east, and his proximity to it, I get why our lovely host feels the need to mention it, especially when it's somehow relevant to the game at hand, but beyond that I for one don't care for politics on this channel. As far as I am concerned this is a memberberries art commentary channel that popularizes Russian contributions to art that was popular when I was a wee lad. If you read this comment Warlockracy, please try both not to laugh and not to get off on the idea I just called your content art criticism. For what it's worth: I mean it in a good way, I think(?)

I just love the way you write these. The metaphors, the analogies, the subtle yet marked dissent. I live in São Paulo, Brazil, we also have our sigil, a place where all converges, a rich avenue mired in poverty, where communist and fascists march, where the biggest pride parade in the world happens and where, in the following week, conservatives throw a march for Jesus to honor "god and country". An avenue where anarchists and bankers make their home, and addicts and the desperate flock. Paulista avenue, Babylon's heart. Went to many a protest there, went to my first pride there, got robbed there, and ran from police for the first time there. I felt this video to be a sort of goodbye to your Sigil, I hope you meet mine one day. Good luck friend, and be safe.
Cara, esse teu comentário é sensacional pqp, eu nunca tinha parado pra refletir sobre a Paulista, mas é um lugar peculiar, onde a história se converge de uma forma muito doida
Fish can see some color, but its reduced. Often its more or less contrast of color and movement that they are triggered by (IE a hot pink jig will stick out more in muddy water to them than a black one). Always a fan of your content, thanks for bringing old gems to the forefront.
Every month, just when I am at my lowest point and convinced that there is no light in the world, a new Warlockracy video drops and my will to live is restored.
It boggles my mind how this channel doesn't have a larger following, but knowing what government Warlock lives under, I'm glad he's still under the radar.
I would just like to say that I discovered your content just recently enough for you to quickly become my favorite RUclipsr. The type of nerd content that you peddle is something you can get elsewhere - except for the fact that the mixture of Eastern European perspective, geopolitics and a fascinating window into an entire world of fan games unknown in most of the English-speaking world is something I didn't know I needed, until you gave it to us! Thank you for your work.
I'm glad you're leaving Russia soon man. I know it must be hard to part from your homeland, but at the same time being able to continue breathing and existing is preferable to not. Here's to many more great videos!
@Samar3n what does it matter though? only thing that should matter here is our favorite russian CC is trying to escape an actual tyrant we should he supporting him not discussing stupid pedantics of both sides cause that solves nothing
Played Arcanum(Yes I know that vid was a year ago) and found myself using parts of your video as a guide, thanks for the steam engine quest trick especially, wonderful review/geopolitical theme all around for these vids!
If only there was some deus ex mod that's fully voice acted and has an in game bookstore that contains reflections on the plot of deus ex and also full on fanfics
Like others mentioned, that was some heavy stuff at the end- thank you for being so open with everyone about it. I'm nearly 30 and my best friends since american high school are leaving the city (we've been a group for 15-20 years now) to go halfway across the nation and it's a different kind of hard. Glad to hear you're getting out tho. I also want to thank you for how much respect you give these mods and how you look at them like extensions of the source material. You're not critical of them like a teacher who demands the best, but as someone whos enthused by the creators life story and how it influences and shows in their work. I feel like you're more frustrated not simply by poor story, but by the creators thinking people don't want to hear about their culture or experiences, which is one reason (aside from the very interesting dives into ethnicity in Russian socioeconomics) I keep rewatching your videos.
The disassociation of Slavs and Russian intelligentsia from Russian-ness in recent years is a truly fascinating phenomenon. As a friend of mine used to say, "even the Russian royalty was East-German". Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject.
It benefited Imperial Russia and the USSR to push the notion of Russian unity. It's taken a long time since the fall of the Soviet Union for attitudes to change, but I suppose it's taken a couple new generations to start questioning the why of things.
I think it is so cool to see you make videos on mods and break down what happens in a funny way. I also love when you interlace things with your IRL life. It shows another part of the world I will never probably get to see. Because someone many years ago pissed off someone else and so now generations hate each other. World is wack. Keep up the good stuff man. 10/10 vid.
That was some heavy stuff towards the end brother. Leaving home is never easy, but I'm glad you're getting out of Russia. I wish you safe travels wherever you go. Your perspective on the design and mechanics of CRPG's is truly remarkable. Among the very best on this site in my opinion. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Fallout 2.
“Except it’s 2027, Maoism is out of the question, and they’re all performatively religious” This still accurately describes a wide swath of modern “dissident” college students in the United States.
@@newusernamehere4772 hence me saying this only describes a wide swath of them. yeah obviously you still have varying degrees of communist like you always have but there’s also a shitload of weirdos on college campuses who basically try and Trigger The Libs by walking around pretending they are devout Catholics
I suppose it is plausible that the "idiotic contrarian variety" of dissident thought might be a learning experience for some of them. This might be more hoping than expecting, however.
I watched all of your videos and a new one is always like a mini holiday for me 💪 your game related stuff is incredible, but all of the things cleverly mixed in, like politics etc is what makes this channel unique to me. Greetings from Poland!!!🇵🇱
It's weird, because almost the exact same dumb conspiracy exists in the actual Anglophone world as well. I'm thinking of internet spaces like /pol/. Just replace "Anglo-Saksi" with "Jews".
IDK who you are, and this is the first video I've seen from you, but the line "the unreal engine one aesthetic is deeply underappreciated by ungrateful gamer folk and this sickens me" got you a new sub.
Excellent video as usual, loved the sarcastic political commentary. Leaving your homeland must be heartbreaking, we live in very strange times. I wish you well for what comes next. 🤞If only we had listened to Deux Ex:2077...
9:55 funnily enough in translation there is also clear cut boundaries what the AI can do, like it can translate stuff like youtube comments or individual sentences really well, but for shit like manuals or websites etc you really need an actual human translator to post-edit it so it doesn't come across as, you know, a machine translation. It's actually really cool to work with translation softwares because it is absolutely fascinating how advanced they are but at the same time how they still miss that human element no matter otherwise how precise the translations are.
Your video, specifically personal revelations, have hit deep and made me feel so melancholic tonight. I've been struggling with my sense of identity because of how the Russian state has tarnished anything I could've related to.I hope to leave and stay with my girlfriend, but even if... when I do, I will carry this hole in my heart. I don't know who I am, Ukrainian and Kazakh, Polish and Belarusian, my ancestors were exiled to Siberia for various reasons, but all of them were successfully assimilated. So I have no culture, no home I can feel I relate to.
This is a little late, but as an American who loves listening to this Russian guy go on about my favorite games, it seems like we're all doomed to have our national identity bite us in the ass. I can listen to this guy from a nation I was taught was our enemy and relate to him better than the guy who lives right next door to me. I laugh at his jokes, I get his dumb references to video games from when I was in high school. I think we were all lied to. I don't think the maps are all that important to anyone but the people drawing them. "He who stands with me shall be my brother" (40k, not Shakespeare, ha ha)
I've put at least 100 hours into a moderately-heavy modded playthrough of Morrowind over the last month or so because of your videos. Looks like I'm going to have to play through Deus Ex again soon, too.
@@venator0405 A lot of mods. MGE XE, Tamriel Rebuilt, Province Cyrodiil, Skyrim HoTN, Tomb of the Snow Prince, OAAB, Ash Fall, Patch for Purists, Morrowind Enhanced Textures and a lot more. These are most of the biggest ones. Lots of other little individual quests, items, and texture/mesh mods as well.
I've always loved having a bit of insight into a place I know little about weaved into telling me about games I may or may not know anything about. Thanks for the video, Warlock. Hope your move goes well.
The moment you said OMAR collective I knew I needed to get this. Favourite Deus Ex "Faction", honest, down to earth, absolutely terrifying for what they represent. Also, best ending for Deux Ex 2.
Another great video! Only time I saw a red sky like that in America(while in the state of North Carolina) was when we had forest fires and it was apocalyptic. Also where ever you end up may it be some new roots for you. Take care!
In Cuba I think it's 4:17 pm and it's almost time to go home after a long day of work and you make a new video, it's the best thing that can happen before I leave work, well YES, thanks Warlockracy friend
Thank you for the video, I moved to Moscow from Petrozavodsk, Karelia in february, and it is bizarre to me to see these places in real life for the first time and see them recreated in this mod! As always, awesome video, thank you, and have a good luck moving to the new place!
Super interesting project, and a fantastic sounding board through which to explore irl lore. Thanks for the video, and I'm sorry you're being displaced. Much love ❤
What is a Silhouette? A shadow, basically. Maybe the mod maker is implying The Shadow Legion is a predecessor of Silhouette Also those acoustic gunfire sensors were in the base game. There were a couple of them in Hong Kong
The Silhouette theory is valid and also something that slipped my attention when I played the mod. If you help the Judicians in Paris, the end credits mention that they eventually help to wipe out the "Silhouette terrorist group" on the orders of MJ12.
As an American, I appreciate the very slim windows into both your experiences and Russian culture. You are an actual individual, a thinking man, someone who isn't blind to everything around you. Unlike America where we are perfect with our hamburger pizzas, tribal politics, crushing Capitalism. Now excuse me, I need to die for oil despite serving in the most "respected and patriotic" organization we have, McDonalds. Semper McRib.
I love watching you content man. Getting to know these obscure to general public russian mods and the snippets of russian lore and random stories that come out of there are just so interesting to listen to. You are truly one of the most unique channels out there. Keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing.
Since your comments about the FSB incident, I assumed you would soon need to make way. Mixing in cultural discourse with game culture that I can relate to has always made you content an fascination of mine, I hope you are well and that whatever apartment you get in Belarus is on the first floor!
Every time i see a new video from Warlockracy, i get an instant dopamine rush, leave everything i was doing and go watch the video. Also a great choice of games/mods plus the way they are interpreted. Not to mention that i have watched the full original Deus Ex video like 10 times. Great content, keep it up!
Gaming videos, and pros, like Vinchester in AoE2, are the only way I'm hearing from real Russians, who are just people like me. We would hang out, play 20 year old video games, and get along just fine. The world is mad. Much love to you my brother. ❤
Speaking of mods for Deus Ex. A teenage friend of mine was a part of a team working on ZODIAC. Where you actually play as Paul Denton and events happen just around the same timeline as the main game.
37:11 Fish can actually see way more colour wavelengths than us, and fish in dark zones can even see hues that we can't comprehend! We only beat them in long distance, as they're all very close sighted, but better for their environment. Source: GOOGLE
A lot of this mod is quite good and impressive, but it shouldn't have been set in 2027 since it uses to many assets from Deus Ex that wouldn't be around at that time.
18:35 I just realized this gave me nostalgia vibes because the AK-101 was the default rifle of the Middle Eastern Coalition in Battlefield 2. Odd that it has wooden furniture, though. The AK-101 is essentially just a 5.56mm version of the AK-74M, which can be easily differentiated from the original AK-74 by its black composite folding stock and forend.
Titan used Plato's picture, and Human Revolution was made by Eidos. Plato and his usage of the word "eidos" in his ramblings. 2027 predicted the developers of Human Revolution?????
hopefully one day we can support you enough to make this a full time job for you if that's something your even interested, you mix history and video games so well.
I think this might be hands down the best mod for original Deus Ex that I ever played. It just has such a fantastic melancholic atmosphere that makes me tear up whenever I play the mod.
Great stuff, love it Good luck on finding a new home p.s. Paper sign on an airport wall. “To the last one leaving this country: Please turn off the lights”

Those games are considered to be boomer RPGs or its your take? Big 4 boomer RPGs are Ultima, Might and Magic, Bard's Tale and the best one - Wizardry. Then you have Golden Box titles following Pool of Radiance formula. The last boomer RPGs I would say were Realms of Arkania, Darklands and Betrayl at Krondor all coming out in the early 90s.
@@ComradeReptiloid Interesting question. I get the impression that the boomer in RPG's may not have anything to do with the actual boomer gen, since I have heard the 80's and early 90's RPG's referred to as pre-boomer. As a gen X'er, I grew up on Bard's Tale and Ultima.
Also worth noting that I don't know a single boomer who ever played Doom or Wolfenstein, but those seem to be referenced as boomer shooters. Closest thing were some early gen X'ers that played Marathon, but they might have been close to the boomer/gen X cusp. Suffice to say, naming and classification might be more a matter of convention than it is about concept.
@@induspherix In this context boomer media is from (or influenced by) the 90s. It's connected to a meme called the 30-year-old boomer, in which the character has a "good old days" mindset taken from stereotypical baby boomers.
the fact that you missed the "in his last minutes prosvirnin had an arc too" joke is just beyond me
Damn, you are right! Oh well, nobody is perfect. I'm sure he will have more clever jokes for us in the near future.
"It was kind of a character assassination, and that's why nobody discusses it anymore"
12:29 That's actually a cut piece of content from base game Hong Kong. Gunfire sensors are the actual reason why the Triads fight each other with swords - because guns attract cops.
Warlockracy's videos are genuinely my favourite to watch. It's such a treat the way you weave obscure (to my African context) historical and recent politico-historical elements to videos about games; it enriches them in a way no other creator I follow comes close to achieving.
Whoa, where are you from? It would be really cool to know what is happening at your place (I'm from Eastern Europe)
I agree that Walockracy gives me a sort-of slight insight into how he views the world. Such a unique guy :)
@@nsv8613 I'm from South Africa! At the moment things are quite dire unfortunately, as corruption and incompetence are hollowing out the country's infrastructure and government processes. One of the most pressing issues is that of our energy grid, which has lead to loadshedding measures taking place on our national energy grid, which are essentially scheduled blackouts at certain times, which depending on the stage of loadshedding, can range from 2 hours to 4 hours or more at a time. Among many other problems, be it inflation, crime, difficulty finding employment, it often feels like being aboard a sinking ship.
I hate to deliver you such a depressing reply haha, so I'll talk about the history of the country briefly! South Africa has a very rich and interesting history, one marred with racism, struggle, and opression, but interesting nonetheless. And since it had only (comparatively) recently broken free of Apartheid, there are many many people who can tell give you countless first-hand accounts of what it was like living in apartheid and resisting it. One such person is my dad himself for example!
A lot of the social issues in the country center around race, which in a number of ways persist today, as is the nature of things like that. In my opinion, something that makes reconciling it more difficult is the influence of American race politics skewing people's attitudes here, because while there is racism, its a completely different context; namely that the population is majority black, for example. And that a lot of racism here (if I'm choosing to be charitable) from white people comes from attitudes purposefully cultivated by the Apartheid government. If you're interested, look up Hendrik Verwoerd, thought of as the architect of Apartheid. One of the lines of thought that he cultivated in a lot of white people's minds at the time of Apartheid was that the various cultures within the country were completely imiscible, and that it would be 'better' if people lived separately, by race. And it just so happened that the white people got all the best land and black people didn't (if you want to learn about that look up homelands and forced removals during apartheid). Things like that are interesting to learn about, in spite of the malice behind them when they were perpetrated.
Something I think is cool is that South Africa has a habit of popping up unexpectedly in places, like the first successful heart transplant was conducted by a South African doctor, Christian Barnard; or that the iconic Halo sniper rifle was directly inspired by one produced by the South African company Denel.
In short, this country can be summarised as a lot of struggle, stemming from colonialism and the Apartheid machine, from which the country managed to break away comparatively peacefully (without a civil war specificelly), but over time as the old guard (Nelson Mandela, OR Tambo, etc.) passed away it gave way to greed and corruption that has induced the fall from comparative grace the country is currently experiencing.
I didn't set out to type such a long reply but I hope it was interesting nonetheless!

Your content is the most unique thing I've witnessed in a long time, this combination of old video games and contemporary political issues is a match made in heaven. Please be very careful out there.
Actually no. I for one would rather he stick to the boomer video games (in the context of this channel at least)... Considering the mess in the east, and his proximity to it, I get why our lovely host feels the need to mention it, especially when it's somehow relevant to the game at hand, but beyond that I for one don't care for politics on this channel. As far as I am concerned this is a memberberries art commentary channel that popularizes Russian contributions to art that was popular when I was a wee lad. If you read this comment Warlockracy, please try both not to laugh and not to get off on the idea I just called your content art criticism. For what it's worth: I mean it in a good way, I think(?)

I just love the way you write these. The metaphors, the analogies, the subtle yet marked dissent. I live in São Paulo, Brazil, we also have our sigil, a place where all converges, a rich avenue mired in poverty, where communist and fascists march, where the biggest pride parade in the world happens and where, in the following week, conservatives throw a march for Jesus to honor "god and country". An avenue where anarchists and bankers make their home, and addicts and the desperate flock. Paulista avenue, Babylon's heart. Went to many a protest there, went to my first pride there, got robbed there, and ran from police for the first time there. I felt this video to be a sort of goodbye to your Sigil, I hope you meet mine one day. Good luck friend, and be safe.
Thank u
Cara, esse teu comentário é sensacional pqp, eu nunca tinha parado pra refletir sobre a Paulista, mas é um lugar peculiar, onde a história se converge de uma forma muito doida

Thank you for your work.

If only there was some deus ex mod that's fully voice acted and has an in game bookstore that contains reflections on the plot of deus ex and also full on fanfics
Lol
Ready Player One if it was good
@Charlie99993. Sorry to reply to such an old comment. Are you talking Nameless Mod?
"That's like predicting water will be wet." Gonna use that
I love the tidbits of Warlockracy irl lore lol
ran from the cops? thats cool as hell, you're even cooler than I first suspected
Like others mentioned, that was some heavy stuff at the end- thank you for being so open with everyone about it. I'm nearly 30 and my best friends since american high school are leaving the city (we've been a group for 15-20 years now) to go halfway across the nation and it's a different kind of hard. Glad to hear you're getting out tho.
I also want to thank you for how much respect you give these mods and how you look at them like extensions of the source material. You're not critical of them like a teacher who demands the best, but as someone whos enthused by the creators life story and how it influences and shows in their work. I feel like you're more frustrated not simply by poor story, but by the creators thinking people don't want to hear about their culture or experiences, which is one reason (aside from the very interesting dives into ethnicity in Russian socioeconomics) I keep rewatching your videos.
The disassociation of Slavs and Russian intelligentsia from Russian-ness in recent years is a truly fascinating phenomenon. As a friend of mine used to say, "even the Russian royalty was East-German". Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject.
It benefited Imperial Russia and the USSR to push the notion of Russian unity. It's taken a long time since the fall of the Soviet Union for attitudes to change, but I suppose it's taken a couple new generations to start questioning the why of things.
I think it is so cool to see you make videos on mods and break down what happens in a funny way. I also love when you interlace things with your IRL life. It shows another part of the world I will never probably get to see. Because someone many years ago pissed off someone else and so now generations hate each other. World is wack. Keep up the good stuff man. 10/10 vid.
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your videos. They're all so comfy and show off great mods I'd never see otherwise.
That was some heavy stuff towards the end brother. Leaving home is never easy, but I'm glad you're getting out of Russia. I wish you safe travels wherever you go. Your perspective on the design and mechanics of CRPG's is truly remarkable. Among the very best on this site in my opinion. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Fallout 2.
Well. It is easy. If one is not considering it home anymore.

It's actually really cool to work with translation softwares because it is absolutely fascinating how advanced they are but at the same time how they still miss that human element no matter otherwise how precise the translations are.

You eat shit voluntarily? Noted.
I'm wondering if you've had thoughts about doing a video on Disco Elysium? I'm sure you could have interesting things to say about it.
Your video, specifically personal revelations, have hit deep and made me feel so melancholic tonight. I've been struggling with my sense of identity because of how the Russian state has tarnished anything I could've related to.I hope to leave and stay with my girlfriend, but even if... when I do, I will carry this hole in my heart. I don't know who I am, Ukrainian and Kazakh, Polish and Belarusian, my ancestors were exiled to Siberia for various reasons, but all of them were successfully assimilated. So I have no culture, no home I can feel I relate to.
This is a little late, but as an American who loves listening to this Russian guy go on about my favorite games, it seems like we're all doomed to have our national identity bite us in the ass. I can listen to this guy from a nation I was taught was our enemy and relate to him better than the guy who lives right next door to me. I laugh at his jokes, I get his dumb references to video games from when I was in high school. I think we were all lied to. I don't think the maps are all that important to anyone but the people drawing them. "He who stands with me shall be my brother" (40k, not Shakespeare, ha ha)
I've put at least 100 hours into a moderately-heavy modded playthrough of Morrowind over the last month or so because of your videos.
Looks like I'm going to have to play through Deus Ex again soon, too.
Sounds like me. You use MSGO?
@@venator0405 A lot of mods.
MGE XE, Tamriel Rebuilt, Province Cyrodiil, Skyrim HoTN, Tomb of the Snow Prince, OAAB, Ash Fall, Patch for Purists, Morrowind Enhanced Textures and a lot more. These are most of the biggest ones. Lots of other little individual quests, items, and texture/mesh mods as well.
I've always loved having a bit of insight into a place I know little about weaved into telling me about games I may or may not know anything about. Thanks for the video, Warlock. Hope your move goes well.
The moment you said OMAR collective I knew I needed to get this.
Favourite Deus Ex "Faction", honest, down to earth, absolutely terrifying for what they represent. Also, best ending for Deux Ex 2.
Another great video! Only time I saw a red sky like that in America(while in the state of North Carolina) was when we had forest fires and it was apocalyptic. Also where ever you end up may it be some new roots for you. Take care!
Yeah I was going to say the skies are only red when something is on fire. Which is not as often as you think, but more often than you hope.
In Cuba I think it's 4:17 pm and it's almost time to go home after a long day of work and you make a new video, it's the best thing that can happen before I leave work, well YES, thanks Warlockracy friend
Thank you for the video, I moved to Moscow from Petrozavodsk, Karelia in february, and it is bizarre to me to see these places in real life for the first time and see them recreated in this mod!
As always, awesome video, thank you, and have a good luck moving to the new place!
Super interesting project, and a fantastic sounding board through which to explore irl lore. Thanks for the video, and I'm sorry you're being displaced. Much love ❤
What is a Silhouette? A shadow, basically.
Maybe the mod maker is implying The Shadow Legion is a predecessor of Silhouette
Also those acoustic gunfire sensors were in the base game. There were a couple of them in Hong Kong
The Silhouette theory is valid and also something that slipped my attention when I played the mod. If you help the Judicians in Paris, the end credits mention that they eventually help to wipe out the "Silhouette terrorist group" on the orders of MJ12.
As an American, I appreciate the very slim windows into both your experiences and Russian culture. You are an actual individual, a thinking man, someone who isn't blind to everything around you. Unlike America where we are perfect with our hamburger pizzas, tribal politics, crushing Capitalism.

Speaking of mods for Deus Ex. A teenage friend of mine was a part of a team working on ZODIAC. Where you actually play as Paul Denton and events happen just around the same timeline as the main game.

A lot of this mod is quite good and impressive, but it shouldn't have been set in 2027 since it uses to many assets from Deus Ex that wouldn't be around at that time.

18:35 I just realized this gave me nostalgia vibes because the AK-101 was the default rifle of the Middle Eastern Coalition in Battlefield 2.
Odd that it has wooden furniture, though. The AK-101 is essentially just a 5.56mm version of the AK-74M, which can be easily differentiated from the original AK-74 by its black composite folding stock and forend.
the model was probably made before the description and application of ammunition were give to it.
