Yes! Truly a unique movie. The paparazzo fly eating literal shit will stick with me for the rest of my life!

Well yeah, obviously! Ukraine was (and is) one of the poorest countries in Europe. But if you look at Russia having a huge military and billions and billions more in military spending didn't help them. In the first months of the war Ukraine had not a lot of foreign equipment and they still held their own.
What I try to say: Ukraine is fighting for it's very existence and I think that alone is the main factor why they are so good on the battlefield compared to Russia!
I played Rogue Legacy and Dead Cells combined at least 150h and only a bit of BOI. I know that in RL the shtick is that with every new run another one of your family is the character. And in Dead Cells you just use a new body every run. The stories in those games aren't very elaborate and the games would just be as good as they are without story.
Hades is different in that the story parts of the game are an important part of the experience (you go around and get to know a lot of different characters and find different ways to upgrade stuff) and that the main character Zagreus doesn't really die - he is also a god. When you lose all hp you just get transported back to Hades and almost everyone there has new tings to say and the relationships develop over time.
I don't know how to explain it better but the main idea of a roguelite is clearly there the execution is way more elaborate and story heavy than RL, DC or BOI. Slay the Spire is on my imaginary backlog of games in need to play before I die.
Hades! Whenever you die, you get reborn in the "house" of your father Hades. Dying and being reborn is an integral part of this game and is what keeps the story going. You also get to upgrade and unlock weapons that way. Highly recommend this game if you like fastpaced and smartly designed action games!
To me personally: Google and their Pixel phones! I am now on my 3rd Pixel phone (3a, 4, 7) and each and every one of those phones where just really good phones! Great build quality, features that worked and great cameras; I had other phones that I liked a lot (most notably the Oneplus 3 and to a certain degree the Oneplus 1) but none of them felt so well rounded as my current Pixel 7. I have to use a midrange Samsung for work and it is just awful compared to the also midrange Pixel 3a I had! One lags constantly, installs the same bloat everytime I update it, takes average to bad photos and is missing stuff I have come to appreciate on my phone. My old 3a was working until just recently and until the end it just felt smooth to use it.
I guess Apple should be mentioned too. Not a fan personally but their hardware is really well made and a lot of people love ios.

Muss es eigentlich sein, dass diese Leute fast immer auch rassistisch sind?! Reicht es nicht, seltsame Verschwörungsdinge zu glauben? Oder Chemtrails? NWO? Flat Earth? 9/11? Einfach mal der Fantasie freien Lauf lassen, ohne dabei Afrikaner oder Araber zu hassen!
In Afghanistan werden bestimmt immer mal wieder neue Politiker gesucht.
Ist doch bekloppt die Kinder in ein Land und zu Leuten abzuschieben die sie nicht kennen.
Und dann auch noch zu der Familie des Vaters, der die Mutter der Kinder getötet hat. Wtf!? So ein Soziopath kann der Landrat doch auch wieder nicht sein, um zu merken dass das absolut krank ist.
I checked Hexbear a couple of times in the last weeks and although they brand themselfs as some lefty/communist/socialist community, I always thought it felt more like some edgelords being against for the sake of being against. Also the tone is pretty rude and made me think of certain Subreddits I usually avoided back when I was on Reddit.
I don't know you or your general taste in music but if you ever want something a bit more modern yet als doing the 'start slow until you made a wall of sound out of it' thing, I highly recommend you check out the band Motorpsycho! Pretty much every album they made in the 90s and early 2000s have always at least one great song which will build and build and build up to a great crescendo. Their other stuff is absolutely great too! Their song Vortex Surfer got played for 24 hours on new years eve (I think it was 99 to 2000) on a Norwegian radio station.
That's just me armchairing from afar, but I can imagen that life in the occupied parts of Ukraine is one with a lot of fear of the military and also fear by the military. There has to be constant fear in every layer of the military of getting targeted by partisans. Also I can only imagine the occupants viewing the people there as being "only" Ukrainians, despite the Kremlin claiming they are Russians. The see them not as equals. So driving carefully through this city with potentially hostile people you view as beneath you my be, in the mind of a russian footsoldier, dangerous. And it wouldn't matter anyway because those people aren't real Russians anyway.
And all the people acting like nothing happened probably have fear to get involved in anything to do with the military. They know where you live and they can pay you a visit at any moment if they think you called the police on them.
As I said, that's just my opinion I formed watching this insane war playing out in various forms of media.
