I played Unsorted Horror this year in February, and it was an experience that was stuck in my head for at least a month or two. Now watching this video, it reminded me of the way I felt playing through what these titles had to offer, and I gotta say it was way different than what I expected. I wasn't scared or anything. I was more or less surprised and, in a way, confused. Now that I properly understand what is going on, I still am surprised but no longer confused. Now my confusion is replaced with dreaded thoughts, if that makes sense. I am really happy this got into my recommendations. You really did a good job at showing and explaining what this collection of cruel and dying worlds has to offer for their inhabitants. And I guess for us the observers from another universe, far, far away from theirs. Thanks!

The two big differences I see in Western versus Eastern story telling are in general Eastern story telling trusts the audience more, and what the Japanese call Ma, or the space between. There is so much direct and specific exposition Western stories because the writer/director just do not trust the audience, to the point it is insulting in many cases. They don't trust that 'showing' will be enough for their vision to shine through. So, they beat you over the head with exposition because the gods forbid you have a different interpretation of THEIR story. Don't want to paint too wide a brush because there are some really good stories that trust the audience and give space for the audience to reflect and breath, Arcane comes to mind having just finished it. But, there is also a lot of crap like Marvel and Lucas studios who like to put spectacle before story.

Talking about solarpunk to distract us from the fact that cyberpunk is less fiction by the day (and this is bad).

Summary for myself - The conflicts are not driving the story, but the twists are - Characters grow, but don't radically change - Antagonists are rarely putting their heart into defeating the hero, and similarly, the hero doesn't fight them.

Hi! I wanted to ask if you know whether Mike Klubnika is actually from russia and still lives in russia. Making games may be difficult there these days. I know that Indika devs had to relocate to finish their game, and it was relatively tame in terms of themes and delivery. Buckshot Roulette, on the other hand, has a very risky premise and execution.

your videos are always food for the mind, i genuinely think these kinds of essays should be shown in schools. These are THE problems that we are facing currently and their consequences will only increase in time. I feel like education in most cases does not do enough work to raise the public awareness of environmental pollution and overexploitation of resources

7:05 ey a tree face

Solarpunk always felt uncomfortable and weirdly paradoxical and "fake" to me. One weird thing is this phenomenon of... I dunno, "Denial" and "spite" that surrounds Solarpunk? I am not talking about the "it would never work" type of denial, but the opposite: That this will work no matter what and the spite of capitalism as the ultimate evil of our time. It has this odd aura of childish and naivé "entitlement" and "moralism", that makes it seem like an utopia. But it feels more like a contrarian counter-culture reaction more than something natural. It feels artificial, something that was born in the empty space of a conceptual opposite. And I think there is a weird paradox in that the idea of "green" is being forced to be a "counter-culture" societal structuring. It's like a bonsai tree: Carefully crafted and maintained nature that's restrained and kept in line in it's small habitat. It will not grow too much, and it has to keep up the appearances. It has to look good, or else it will be replaced. It never came across as a hopeful message or view of the future, more than it came as a childish eco-jihadist utopia larp. It completely ignores that people might be greedy, how people will actually interact with the world. EVERY single solarpunk visual lacks cities. There's only few people around. It's this subliminal messaging that "we humans" are the issue. That if there was just very very very few of us, then we can live green. That our issue is our scale, and the answer is to cull it down. And if you think about it: Most cyberpunk depiction are all about overpopulation. Post-capitalism reigns supreme when people become statistics.

wtf do you know about the conflict in Israel? shelling civilians? bro you better keep on making videos about video-games and stories..

Dont know how many of these Ive watched on here. Just love hearing about this amazing movie studio ♥♥♥

How does solarpunk work in a winter environment???

Tartarus Engine doesn't really have a twist imo. TFW the literal "Hell Machine" turns out to be _bad?!?_

Which movie is the one playing at 14.32?

Yes please 31 seconds in the one it the top things that bugs me in Fallout is "CLEAN UP THE DEAD STUFF YOU MORONS!!!!" And everything dystopian the planet is doomed "humans are the virus" bs is well past old and annoying

"corporate capitalism dosent care if you hate, it, in fact they can take that hate, package it in neon and chrome, and then sell it right back at you for 60 dolars" indeed, they selling anticapitalism to everyone, the same white old mans who rule the world and against capitalism now, except they are against it for you and me, we gotta eat insects and use bikes to save the world, but they are very few and in betwen, that means they can eat wagyu A5, and fly private jets and yatchs on the way to their congress about how capitalism and carbon emission destroy the world

I am not going to watch this video, but thanks for putting an aracnophobia trigger warning. I'll leave a like and this comment. lamo

I wanted to express thanks for the warning of flashing lights at the beginning, that was considerate of you. That doesn't go unnoticed.

The pathologic music from the intro immediately pulled me in and right down to the comment section because that OST is so fucking good.

mike клубника took me out every time

Cyberpunk didn't fail, it predicted where we were going... and here we are.

Sounds like an idea that wouldn't work, just like communism.

Phenomenal video! Loved every second of this!

Solarpunk is shit, it's really just aspirational techno-hippie bullshit, with no teeth, no analysis, no solution, it's just "hey, if we solved our social problems and suddenly technology was more like magic and we lived in a post-scarcity world, wouldn't life be neat ?". It's boring bullshit.

Solar punk just sounds boring

Pretty cool video, dude.

is that a Russian accent ? that klubnika pronunciation is sus too, I see you 👀 great video !!

To be simplistic isn’t the plot difference simply because Asian culture is pluralistic and western is individualistic going on about me me me????? Because of the enlightenment which was more like the big darken ment ????? When religion was thrown out Japan still has its own religion. And values and was not affected by the darkenment

Screw minimalistic cyberpunk dystopia, all my homies live in frutiger aero Solarpunk paradise

Super interesting thanks 🙏🏻

Absolutely spittin’ towards the very end. subscribed.

less realistic depiction of the future more liberal fantasy 🤦🏻‍♂️

I mean, cyberpunk was never meant to be replicated irl. It's a dystopia, a *bad ending* for our world where nature dies and big corpo grows stronger than governments. It's weird to compare cyberpunk to solarpunk.

I disagree, cyberpunk didn't failed. The only minus it had was that it was released half made. After they fixed it that was a masterpiece, after the DLC it became one of the top

So basicaly solarpunk is left-leaning corpo supported propaganda, thanks for clarifying

nope. cyberpunk is way cooler.

21:40 reminds me of the city of ember

Uplifting ☺

I think the first concept I can think of that is solarpunk. Aka cyberpunk technology fused with nature. Flashback 1992 Amiga by Delphine Software International. This have clunky technology with trees and platforms made out of logs an electrical support columns. The first lvl of Flashback.

Comment for the algorithm, I need more people to see this

Just at about 17 minutes is when it happened. And when it happens, is when we on the left get tuned out. It is why we lose the ability to shift the Overton window. We are already struggling uphill against the gravity of selfishness, of parocholism and the power of othering. And then we do the thing: allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Demand absolute adherence to theory in application, or condemn any application as not having met the impossible standards of the theoretically possible. The conservatives, the bastards of the world get up every day and they stay on message, and they don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If they can screw us 10%, they remain hungry for the remaining 90, but they call it a win. And then they get up the next day, and they try to make it 11% if they can. But no, we don't do that. We make comments like "well if you got everybody using sustainable, renewable energy and everybody driving electric cars, you'd still have....." What we would have, is a major destabilization of legacy capitalists. What we would have is breathing space as people at the very bottom of the pyramid would suffer less and less of the impacts of GCC. We would have a shift in the overton window that we could continue to push to the left incrementally. But that's not good enough. That's not perfect. So it's trash. I hate that about us.

¡Thank you wholeheartedly! I needed this, and the last words from Ursula Le Guin, have just opened my soul, heart and imagination. Thank you Ive for your must sincere and honest take on this concept.

So this video isn´t about solarpunk at all it´s just about your socialist agenda

Sad thing that communism is inefficient and wastes resources and the only way to achieve a solarpunk society is through capitalism and free market

the editing is fantastic

Solarpunk is captain planet for zoomers.

Solarpunk is nuclearpunk for people who thinks that tapping unwashed pussy will somehow solve global warming

Cyberpunk, relates to Steampunk and dieselpunk. The "punk" part IMO refers to some some form of anachronism (future or past) in a setting. For steampunk it's magic and futuristic tech in victorian times. For dieselpunk it's aircraft with a propeller aesthetic (biplane to WW2) in a magic or future setting ("The Last Exile" for instance). for cyberpunk it's the nihilist/mercenary culture in a near future setting with cyberware.
