My bad about the Sega CD thing.
Also Nintendo at the time was marketing the shit out of the Nintendo 64 and how Mario 64 was revolutionary (which It was really at the time) and they beat them to It. Also from what I heard Sony's PS1 was relatively easy to develop for which is what made It popular too + the marketing.
Honestly It's a shame that Sonic X-treme never got finished or released too. Apparently there was supposed to be a PC port after the Saturn one got cancelled but some execs cancelled It.
Didn't help that SOA and SOJ were infighting and SOA trying to prolong the Genesis/Mega Drive with Sega CD and 32X.
Not the secretary guy, but people just call their language by their nationality really (Serbian, Croatian, etc.). Also It's pronounced "jugoslvovenski" (yugoslovenski If you can read that a bit better lol).
He says:
Not really, however the police did come to my house to intimidate my parents and they went around my hometown "looking for me" (actually just wanting to make me look like a criminal in front of the people) and stuff like that. When it comes to SKOJ there is only individuals mentioning it in media rarely but nothing serious (at least in Montenegro)
About the Zapatista thing, I didn't know about it but based
He says:
If you are a marxist-leninist find a local org that's part of the IWCP or WFDY
He says:
Haven't read it yet but plan on reading for sure
He says:
Well the party that our organization is the youth of, The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia was founded in 1990 (while SFRY still existed and League of Communists of Yugoslavia) was still in power, we decided to keep the name because we strive for a united Yugoslavia and have branches in different Yugoslav countries
He says:
Thank you for the compliment
He says:
Well I've met some people through my shitposting page that were already in a communist org
He says:
I suppose
He wrote this about himself:
Jovan Mandić, General secretary of the Montenegrin branch of the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ), founder of the Civic movement for Solidarity with Palestine (Montenegro)
Achievements so far include organizing mass protests in support of Palestine in Montenegro along with few of my comrades, the rallies were attended by a significant amount of Montenegrin population (going from 5% to 70% of the population of the cities attending). This has resulted into forcing Montenegro to vote in favor of Palestine in the UN as well as putting forward a resolution in the Montenegrin parliament that condemns Israel and ceases cooperation with it alongside other stuff (hasn't yet been voted in). The movement also does frequent cultural stuff like making murals, cultural events etc. We also worked closely with BDS to stop weapon shipments to Israel for which i have been persecuted by the state.
Alongside this i am the founder of the Montenegrin branch of SKOJ (League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia) which has been an emerging force in the country recognized by the worldwide communist movement, closely working with it as well as with other progressive forces.
Social media that i use the most is my Instagram account @_ mandicjovan _ but you can find me on Twitter as well by @comrade_manda. The official profiles of the communist league on Instagram are @skoj_official_1919 and @skoj_cg and the official Instagram page of the pro-palestinian movement is @solidarnost_palestina_cg
TLDR: This guy went from shitposting on Instagram to praxis lol.
EDIT: AMA is closed, thank you all for the questions!
In college right now for an animation course in engineering.
We were literally thaught how to make AI slop (deepfakes, AI generated images) by the professors assistant since the professor refused to show up. He went on how this "won't replace us" and how It was "revolutionary" even though It looked like shit. Mind you he's the same guy who told us "Don't pirate Windows, buy It for 5€.".
Sometimes I think of dropping out and going freelance as an artist even though I'm only a month into my first year. Though I'm very afraid how and where to promote my stuff
Since I'm a Balkan mf these things were pretty common here 10-20 years ago.
The picture is a bit blurry but I have around 50 of these, half of them being contributed by me (been collecting them since 2015) and my cousins (late 90s to early 2000s). Though they are more rare now.
I'll probably send more pics in the comments since I took some gameplay pics from most of these games. Also I used to have an account here where I showed off my side loader famiclone that has a Basic compiler and looks kinda like that 90s Hot Wheels PC. The other one I have is a top loader with a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive looking shell.
Hope y'all like these.
Also I heard It was super easy to pirate stuff on It. I heard It was really prevalent in the 90s post-Soviet Russia. Even homebrews and emulators were made for It.
