Kinda crazy how they made you keep drinking, by making the character so annoying about it. You know it's bad for him but you kept doing it because of his nagging about his nagging craving. It's actually shockingly realistic in that way and makes you the player into a simulated alcoholic.
Unfortunately, for as good at refusing nagging I am (because *I* AM THE NAGGER NOT YOU GAME) there are at least a dozen people who would intentionally give in to the alcoholism for the jokes.
"Lost everything due to alcoholism" And the war, kinda hard to miss that That said it feels like a semi-accurate representation of Poland immediately after WW2
Even though it seems like a total meme this game is actually kinda depressing when you think about it. Given the date its set in, your characters age, the fact he wears a tattered red army uniform and has a crippling alcohol addiction and recently deceased parents..
You can always rely on Slavs for three things: readily available strong liquor, dark humour, and inventive video games featuring readily available strong liquor and dark humour.
This sounds exactly what my grandpa experienced after the war, endless amounts of ammo and stick grenades, he and his friend used to throw them down into valleys and hear the boom...he also almost lost his hand when a rifle misfired

"The whole bottle!?" Stolichnaya vodka (the brand produced by the Soviet Union) was infamous for having a cap designed to not be able to be put back on after opening a bottle since the designers knew that most Russian men would just down an entire bottle in one sitting.

I live in northeast Brazil which is not eastern Europe but it's still east and full of farmers and i can confirm this game is extremely realistic, the nightmarish rain really hits home and the farm stuff is a lot like my grandpa's (RIP) farm
i used to get super drunk with my friends in the desert (live in the us) and do stupid shit on our bikes, can confirm there is a bridge between the two groups of people
While WW2 is deadly conflict, defeating alcoholism is a societal issue spanning centuries and has broken many homes. What a fucking game of the year objective. Boys, this should been the game of the year in 2021
I just immagine vale drinking four bottles of vodka,getting on his bike,going dangerously fast through a minefield, then being like"oh shit I think I went through TWO mines!"
this made me realize that there should be the ability to die/get drunk if you drink too much alcohol in stardew. cause you can get tipsy. i think it’s be a fun feature
Akchually, alcoholics who don't drink for too long can legitimately die from the withdrawal itself. SO the statement "I've heard it's not healthy not to drink vodka for too long" is technically not incorrect when taking context into consideration.
Hey Vale, I know this video is more than a year old now, but i absolutely needed to tell you that you misidentified the tank as a Panther while it's more than likely a Tiger II. The MG bulge at the front is a dead giveaway. in addition, the turret is a production turret instead of the prototype, meaning it's canonically one of the later ~450 Tiger II's built.
This guy's perspective of the game will change as soon as he hears about all of the active mine fields in the world. Also like how just by spam this game made alcoholism meaningful. It's so stupid but genius!
There is a game that is very similar to this one but its better and it simulates life in an eastern European city.its called hobo tough life it would be cool if you play it
How much for a second part where you drink a shot everytime your charackter wants Vodka ? That way you and your liver get the true eastern european experience.
In 1834, the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built In 1913, refrigerators for home use were invented ''its 1946'' so technically you would have a fridge
This game might have been made as a meme but it matches quite closely the stories ive heard of the polish population that have settled in Western Pomerania after Germans left.

"Defeat alcoholism" Story of my life
Yeah and that story is elden ring
good for you
at least managed to do it
for some people it's just "alcoholism" or "try to defeat alcoholism"
Too bad I lost
Don’t we all?
I, as an Eastern european, can confirm, that going into a minefield while shitfaced is a tradition spanning centuries!
Damn, yo, you guys had mines in the 1800s?

Yea thats good design imo hats off to the creators
Genuinely the best representation of alcoholism I've seen in a video game
I would be *too good* at refusing those naggings.

@@shilohmagic7173 yeah but that only works while you have the money , just like real life. Then the nagging starts again

"I'm not sober, I just had two beers"
Listen, i don't know where you are from but by Polish standards that's still sober
Agree. For German standards this is just moistening the throat.

I think the way this game is meant to be played is that you - in real life - take a drink every time he mentions wanting/needing a drink.

"You want vodka?, There's your vodka" *proceeds to enter a minefield while drunk and dies*
You can always rely on Slavs for three things: readily available strong liquor, dark humour, and inventive video games featuring readily available strong liquor and dark humour.
"If you kill the shopkeeper, you can't buy vodka" -Eastern European Hammurabi
who said we are buing things?polish tradition is that middle scholers are stealing beer by cooperation.
This sounds exactly what my grandpa experienced after the war, endless amounts of ammo and stick grenades, he and his friend used to throw them down into valleys and hear the boom...he also almost lost his hand when a rifle misfired
In the west: "Oh no you drank two beer you cant drive"
Eastern Europe: "He can just drink 5 vodkas, since he is driving"
"Why do I have to be drunk to use stick grenades"
Well, you wouldn't be throwing grenades around *your* neighborhood if you were sober, would you?
“The whole bottle?” What game did you think you were playing
fun fact soviet vodka usually had a cap that couldnt be screwed back on so if you wanted your money's worth youd drink it all in one sitting
@@Nighthawk2702 In tsarist russia the vodka making right was a privilege of the nobles. If your local lord wanted his money's worth, he was in favor of you drinking every day.
you play as kasimir, the most depressed man in ukrirussipolabulgaslavia, and that's quite a high bar.
First quest that pops up: "Defeat alcoholism"
Damn, this game is so immersive. Like real life.
He wants him to shut up about drinking, he continues drinking which keeps him talking about drinking.
As someone from Eastern Europe I feel represented and can confirm that the game is true to the real thing
Yeah, the pop-in is realistic in that part of Poland.
Very realistic game, I have to say.
You guys do have the world record for the highest BAC who survived.

"The whole bottle!?"
Stolichnaya vodka (the brand produced by the Soviet Union) was infamous for having a cap designed to not be able to be put back on after opening a bottle since the designers knew that most Russian men would just down an entire bottle in one sitting.
"I'm not sober! I just had two beers!"
What a lightweight.
5:35 - guy was in Eastern Europe for hour and already repeated crime and punishment scenario
For more on why you would need a grenade on a Polish farm and how to safely cross a minefield I suggest you watch a great documentary film "Sami swoi"
Are the grenade and safely crossing the minefield related? Can you detonate mines by throwing grenades at them?
@@jonasfree2 depending on the mine
Some can be detonated with a rock
But the vast majority can indeed prob be dealt with by a grenade
But thats not why they had them i think

Rename video to "Valefisk never leaves starting area because he finds vodka and a minefield."
Defeat alcoholism you say? *Pulls out axe and turns to shopkeeper*
"I'm not sober, I just had 2 beers!"
And that's why you only get to simulate life in eastern europe
Game: If you kill the shopkeeper, you can no longer buy vodka.
Valefisk: 😭

Boys, this should been the game of the year in 2021
5:41 Killing the only supplier of alcohol is one way to kick the addiction.
As a slavic man I can confirm this is a 100% correct representation
As an American, the horrifying realities of Eastern Europe are completely realized in this game. Powerful video, Vale.
The new Stardew Valley looks great!
Local man possessed by demon, the latter died by alcohol poisoning, whole community unfazed.
11:34 Valefisk talking to Kasimir about his drinking problem is really giving off some Eddie Brock & Venom energy.
1:16 "am i having shitting problems?" Valefisk - 2022
this is more accurate than i would like to admit
I just immagine vale drinking four bottles of vodka,getting on his bike,going dangerously fast through a minefield, then being like"oh shit I think I went through TWO mines!"
Ah yes the true Polish experience
"I'm not sober I just had two beers" is the saddest sentence I've ever heard
This is one farm that would definitely do better under state control
summer 1946, Eastern Europe, alcoholic.
makes too much sense
this made me realize that there should be the ability to die/get drunk if you drink too much alcohol in stardew. cause you can get tipsy. i think it’s be a fun feature
"Don't take your bike through an active minefield" words of wisdom
5:55 this is the exact reason why crime rates in czechia and what not are very low (except with beer)
Akchually, alcoholics who don't drink for too long can legitimately die from the withdrawal itself.
SO the statement "I've heard it's not healthy not to drink vodka for too long" is technically not incorrect when taking context into consideration.
Ah yes the true Podlasie experience
I think I speak for all of us when I say:
please make this a series

no, it’s a Panther, specifically the G varient. The turret is the giveaway, and the flat bottom of mantlet distinguishes it as a G.
You need to play "Priest Simulator" if you haven't already. This game for some reason reminds me of it. Its fucking wild.
The patch notes to this game apply to real life
I love how it just uses christmas trees and you didn't even noticed 14:59, right side of the sreen
I don't think that's a christmas tree, those look like they're supposed to be berries.
so this is the My Summer Car of East Europe?

It's a Russian T34 tank, that's why it has vodka in it.

As a Polish person, that's extremely accurate
Wait wait wait, why is “Defeat alcoholism” a task under “winter preparations” ?

What a weird 7 days to die update
UA-cam seems to think it’s called 7 days to die…
10:40 That is a Jesus take the wheel moment.

As a Eastern European I dont if I should be offended or I should laugh
Video would have been 2 minutes long if he didnt try to pass the minefield on the bike..
If you didn't know, drinking more does not remove your addiction.
as romanian this is incredibly accurate
"An IQ just above 10" ah yes an IQ of 10.01
This game looks like "Medieval Dynasty: Vodka Edition"
It’s like demo from tf2. Solid food and water is like poison to him
i and every other eastern European can approve this is a very uneventful day
The main character sounds like he is from cruelty squad
At least he is winning against sobriety.
as a polish person, this is exactly how poland works
This game might have been made as a meme but it matches quite closely the stories ive heard of the polish population that have settled in Western Pomerania after Germans left.
Tbh this is how the life looked like in post war western poland. Truly Wild West experience
Maybe this story was about the alcoholism inside all of us all along
Please beat alcoholism, I would love to see more.
