It's a really interesting time period, and it's such a shame that the game turned out to be an utter garbage.
The indie sector is also keeping it mostly lean. No other game has made me cry like Signalis did, and it's less than a gig.
As soon as I finally move to Russia and settle down, I'm planning on taking the trip there with my SO. It's going to be great.
They believe that the good guys always win, and they also believe themselves to always be the good guys. Hence the mental gymnastics.
We're physically well, but mentally exhausted. Both of us can't wait for this war to be over.

You can't get out legally if you're an adult male. You'd have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get smuggled through the border, and it's still very risky.
Usually it involves a long journey through the wilderness with non-zero chance of being lost, starved, frostbitten (at the colder times of year) having dangerous encounters with wildlife and even more dangerous ones with the customs.
Thank you, comrade... I'm just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I'll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.
It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I'm so tired... It's hard to imagine normal life now.
Sadly, libs will hust brush it off, since they're used to constitution being more of a suggestion.
Still, very based.
I live in Ukraine, so as you can imagine, liberals here have long since gone full fash. The situation here is a really good illustration for the old "scratch a liberal" adage: a lot of people have been more than scratched, and in response they've went absolutely rabid.
