Renegade Cut in 2022: “All cops are bastards and here’s why” Renegade Cut in 2024: “The world is ending soon so let’s just play some weird games” Right there with you, Leon.

I've been making audio-visual "content" since 2010, moved to KZfaq in 2014, and the exhaustion of most of that time doing serious political videos caught up to me. I can't change the world, so I may as well make it a tiny bit more fun for myself and others. Glad you're liking it.

@joshdavis8381 Ай бұрын

I mean, on a grandiose scale, it's tough for any one person to change the world, but I've found your earlier to be helpful, and a good point to start my own research into political matters (i.e. cops being bastards). But I also understand that being entrenched in nothing but political content can just wear on a person after a while, given how depressing most of the topics relating to it are. In either case, I enjoy your videos, and it's nice hearing your takes on games, being a huge gaymer myself. :)

In native tongue, Pavol actually speaks in šariština as compared to old english, which is a dialect from Šaris county (you can hear him say early in-game that's where he comes from) and this dialect is famous for being nigh incomprehensible compared to the official language. It's a lot more akin to country bumpkin energy compared to the one used in English release but if the goal was to be "barely comprehensible" I think the localization nailed it

for the record, "nothing is a cutscene" came first, before quicktime events, in half life. and did a better job with making it feel like you were writing the story than almost anything, since stuff happened in reaction to you. That said, I agree that if cutscenes are going to be used, they should look different - at least in perspective.

I learned the Burgomaster term from D&D, as they use the term in the Curse of Strahd adventure. It doesn’t get defined there, but given which NPCs have the title and what their job/responsibilities are, the context is easy to put together. Still took a few weeks of game sessions for it to stop being funny.

@nachoolo Ай бұрын

A correction. The Hussites were not Protestants. Protestantism and the Reformation appeared a century or so after the Hussites. The Hussites are part of the different religious movements that happened in the Late Middle Ages, in part caused by the Western Schism of the Catholic Church into multiple papacies (Jan Hus was executed in the same Council where the Western Schism ended). That said. These religious movements and the Hussittes can be seen as the predecessors to Protestantism and the Reformation. Something that the Protestants themselves saw, making Jan Hus an icon of their movement.

This game sounds like a couple guys getting together to try their best to make a monty pythons holy grail style game and getting about halfway there, before going in another direction in that classic "writing something supposed to be dumb when you suddenly realize you might actually be on to something here" way.

@ZemplinTemplar 22 күн бұрын

Your comparison is apt. The humour and the anachronisms are very much in the vein of that classic film. As much as 15th century events affect the setting of the game, don't take it as a serious look at the period (all the more that it's also going for a historical fantasy undertone, in addition to the humour).

When I see all these paranoid conspiracies about DEI stealing all the hot women from gaming, I am sure it is actually realism taking away the fantasy of gaming ads and boxes, as for kids picking up EGM Joanna Dark was a lot hotter than in the actual game.

@renegadecut9875 Ай бұрын

I have been making and uploading videos since 2010, before I even moved my work to KZfaq in 2014. It's 2024. People get older, their voices change a little, especially over the course of a fourteen year career. I'm a forty-two year-old man. I don't sound like I did in my 20's but not remarkably different. Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson) and Billy West (Philip J. Fry) don't sound the same as they did ten years ago. Nothing happened to them. They just got a little older. If you remember my old videos from those days, do you also remember that my audio wasn't too clear? KZfaqrs buy better equipment, they sound different. My microphone and other hardware weren't as high-end back then. Plus, if someone narrates videos long enough, they get better at it. I'm not sure how else to answer this. There is no "when" my voice changed. Life just marches on. I sound more or less the same to me. The audio is just clearer.
