    Ah nice, thanks. Might not be a good game for my poor Steam Deck then, it’s a terrific system but a CPU & GPU powerhouse it ain’t.

    I have a weird “mixed” connection to the eastern block. I’m Finnish but in my 40’s, so my childhood’s Finland was in some ways a hybrid between a “fully capitalist” market economy and some more socialist features (and not just social democracy) thanks to us having to walk a bit of a tightrope with the Soviets so we could stay independent.

    But eg. a surprising amount of the “Socialist cube” concrete houses you see especially in the former East Germany, but also in some other parts of the Eastern Bloc, were actully made from Finnish concrete elements. We also built a zillion of them with the same ideology behind it: functional / brutalist rather than anything fancy, which means they were affordable for everyone and cheap to build. I’ve lived a huge chunk of my life in some Socialist cube or another
