Atlas H376 – results for 2024 year and a little more, and red orchestra

By the way, I have, already, for several years a modern computer. With it, I can play modern games. With high graphics settings. It is something new for me. I can say. I have this system for several years, already.

And, I still name it – new computer. I cannot get enough joy about this. Today, I have i7 processor. And modern Windows. This is first part. Second part - it is a moment, that I was without video card for some time. Now I have Rtx 3050 8gb version. So now, I have full set for videogames! It was happened with 2023. As I remember – with summer.

And a modern gamer I become, already, only, when I start to play. By weekends. Or regular. This happened before new year 2023-2024. So, that’s why, I add some more time. And little more time. Last month from 2023. And, I start, at last, play regular. And, this is a story, already.

Let’s speak about videogames. Which I played. By now, I speak about 2024. And what I played there. Which games I can point. These games – I have never seen before. And, lots of new things for me. So, this happened. I am, something like, a gamer. And, I get into theme of creepy shooters, military shooters. For some time, I was playing this kind of games. Later, I set for racing theme. About rally. Snow and desert. All over the world racing.

I tell about what I played. Which I select for 2024.  

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41–45

At the new year, I start to play this game. In weekends, holidays. I decide to try some shooter game. And for this game and killing floor – it is same developer. I, maybe, should to buy them as a pack. Or one after another. This is about second world war theme. Shooter. Shooter with first person view. With some reality effects. Like simulation. And, it is, something like, about network. But, it is ok to add bots. And, play single player game. Maps are big. Different.

It is interesting to play. Game has interesting idea. Good realization. Maps are, also, very different. One thing, that is for 2024 – I wanted to have some patch, which gives ability to add more bots. It is so big scales map. And, whole military episodes. And, they require more players or bots. Today modern computer can afford this. And 30 and 40 and even more players or bots.

Bots have more or less simulation kind of behavior. They go as a group. They enter, they go aside. Rather simulation. This is plus. Well, of course, You can catch them someplace, while you know their route. But, well, not always. Bots – it is big plus.

First map. Which I start. It was winter. And destroyed city. There are ruins there after the buildings. And you run along them. And snow hills. And destroyed buildings, ruins. They are, already, as a snow hills. Obstacles to avoid. And, there is a railroad station. With trains. Station. It is not touched, like a miracle. It was a first map, I start to play. Rather scary. Fear. As horror. And so extreme. And, anyway, - this is only a videogame.

Next, there is a map, also in winter. There is a big park there. Which is not so easy to cross. It is open space. And. Everyone. is shooting there. Someone to some place trying to go. There was even a tank. There. Also. a maps for summer. Field. Several trees. And. you are running there, up to the hills. Summer. Weather is good. Or there are lots of trenches in the field.

There are lots of maps. Bots are playing as for your side. As against you. There are lots of weapons. It is all so simulation kind. I cannot understand how to use machinegun for the first time. First, it is good to sit down. Next, take a machine gun and set it. There are different rifles. I played with different maps. Winter and summer. For Soviet side. Game is so real. Saying the truth, it is sad, that developers do not support game anymore, this version of game. It is very interesting shooter game about second world war.

Next time. I tell one more, about games I played in 2024. So, this is so late results for 2024 for my modern computer.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Libertas Schulze-Boysen was a German anti-Nazi activist, author, and actress who was a member of the "Red Orchestra" ("Rote Kapelle") resistance circle. Born Libertas Haas-Heye in Paris, France, on November 20, 1913, the daughter of Professor Otto Haas-Heye (an architect) and Countess Thora Eulenburg. In 1936, Libertas married Harro Schulze-Boysen. During World War II, the Schulze-Boysens became leading members of the "Red Orchestra" spy organization that relayed crucial information from the Air Ministry to the Soviet Union.

Libertas assisted her husband in his underground activities, including writing articles for the clandestine newspaper 'Die Innere Front' and preparing pamphlets and flyers for distribution. With the help of several hundred anti-Nazis, this paper was distributed at immense risk in many of Germany's cities. Nazi intelligence, after immense effort, uncovered the large "Red Orchestra" network.

Harro was arrested on August 30, 1942, Libertas a few days later on September 3. Both were taken to Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 8, Berlin Gestapo headquarters, where they were interrogated and tortured. The Schulze-Boysens were sentenced to death and executed at Plötzensee prison on December 22, 1942.

It's kind of impressive to me that Rising Storm 2: Vietnam can evoke such intense feelings for me as it does, even though its soundtrack and voice acting are (in my opinion) way inferior to those of Red Orchestra 2 — so it’s carried entirely by its gameplay.

Playing as the northern factions (People’s Army of Vietnam, National Liberation Front) fills you with senselessness and exhaustion, as you struggle to understand what you possibly could have done as a people to deserve the violence you face at the hands of people from the other side of the world — airstrikes that produce mushroom clouds ten stories high, flamethrowers that leave your friends screaming in unbearable pain as they die, tropical rainforests turned to ash-strewn wastelands. At the same time, there is a ray of quiet, heroic resilience peeking out from the bleakness throughout, as your comrades shoot down the attack jets, you snipe the flamethrower operators, and your side prevails by the skin of your teeth.

Of course, playing as the southern factions (US military, ARVN) feels even more weary in a unique way, as you achieve victory after victory with overwhelming force, only to feel as empty as ever as you realize you have no idea why you are here, and the sense creeps on you that everything you have fought to build is going to collapse under the weight of all the bombs.

Maybe I’m projecting a little too much of my own politics into this game, which is, like Red Orchestra 2, fundamentally about setting people on fire in order to unlock cool helmets and the right to go to battle topless. Yet there really is this fascinating kernel of pathos in there, right?

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (2011)

The single greatest moment of my Rising Storm 2 career

So since the Australian DLC has come out I’ve had some pretty great moments with this. Probably only second to playing it when it released a few months ago, but this moment by far beats out everything.

So I’m in a pub game and I was playing with the same group of guys for the past few games. Snake Shit and Don’t Step On Snek are the two I remember most.

We were playing Operation Forrest and Snake Shit was our transport pilot. He was dropping us off at Objective B (directly down hill from the VC main base at A). I don’t know what happened but the Huey crashed and we all some how lived. We didn’t really know what to do after taking the objective and at this point a few guys spawned on me and another SL who was in the bird. There’s probably 8 to 12 of us at this point.

So Snake Shit (our pilot, armed with only a pistol) says “Let’s take A” and we’re all kinda like “fuck it why not?”. So Snake Shit starts leading us across this marsh to A, pistol first with 10 dudes in line behind.

Then a guy with a flamethrower starts to play “Down Under” by men with out hats on local chat. So everyone of us can hear it AND all the VC at A can hear it.

So we have 12 Australian soldiers, cut off from any kind of reinforcements, assaulting the VC main base, with Down Under playing for all to hear.

AND WE TOOK THE BASE WITH OUT TAKING A SINGLE CASUALTY.

I love this game so fucking much.
