Can't get much more /k/ then Super earth and i don't think it's just the recency bias talking there. Plenty of the groups or states in fiction have all the same gusto for war and weapons if not even more but past the degree/way thich super earth takes it the veneer of being a even little grounded in reality starts being wore much to thin. Like yeah sure i guess Orkz match and exceed the Super sweeds in a ratio of weapons to bodycount and they're even more eager to get into the fight but at that point you're already well outside the scope of /k/. Super Earth also keeps space cannons hidden under playgrounds, have Mandatory volunteer militia drills for all and children are given grenades at school so they can suicide bomb aliens during attack.

Gattica. Starship troopers subtle cousin.

Le planet sauvage, kaiba. Dystopian but rooted in Realpolitik, though fantastic, they're really more like hard scifi in many ways. Strong lean into the ugliness of war.

The Japanese always have a very interesting depiction of war, rare example of an aggressor state who lost. Balinor, balinkor, palabor, i rate it after akira. I suppose jon roh, wolf brigade is an obvious mention but it wasn't very well written.

The road, top tier American apocalypse film. Very well written.

Delicatessen? Though not really a war film, idk. It stands out in terms of society and war. Hard to place it in terms of genre but it's both bizarre and grounded.

Historical genres are often unrealistic to the point they qualify here, especially historical films made before 1990. Names don't spring to mind.

Holy goat Mountain, very /k/.

I think a lot of foreign film gives realistic depictions of insurgency, far from men, films which depict life in militia controlled regions. I've lived in militia controlled regions, far from men rings true.


Let me think... Russia. All the tarkovsky, Serbia made a lot of very good films for a while. Rane is still an issue of national contention in Serbia, it's not like scar face, it's iconic, yes, but it's also genuinely relevent. Far more so than brat or many Russian films which tried to emulate it.

A lot of stranded in x type films are up /k/s alley but most are poorly written, clique. Castaway was actually good. I think a lot of deployed troops empathise.

>you're allowed to own nukes for self defense (2 at a time, up to like a couple kilotons). pic related is a battle cruiser with a VLS cell for a nuclear missile in the rear
>the restriction of firearms is not by caliber or energy, but by velocity, this has resulted in a 10mm iridium cartridge becoming the standard. there's also plasma guns
>not really any restrictions beyond that, you can buy and build whatever you feel like. buy a hovertank if you want (it just can't be made out of a certain specialty metal that's near indestructible). or a plane, spaceship, whatever. some of the tech looks pre-WW1 era because it's being made by a bunch of old fashioned Victorian era gentlemen, other is as cutting edge as can be
>if you're lost you can call for help and the government sends you a basic, segway-looking hover speeder and a shotgun to your precise location for free

all this comes at a couple downside like there being a bunch of rogue robots and weird people running around (some of them humans, some of them 1-30m tall immortal aliens, some of them chemically unstable hybrids that combust when they break a bone), some horrible monsters and forces exist and if you're a human you're not immune to the plant spores that give you super cancer, potentially turning your body into an ever growing flesh landscape. but heyy, that only happened once.
also no trying to colonize new planets as a planetary civilization, the rulers of (what's left of) the universe don't like that very much and may send a ship to create a void in spacetime where your planet used to be

I'm talking about Syrsa/Dutvutan, no idea who you mean with making a Koala Problem video.
in any case, here's the link to the "game" (he considered it a worldviewer instead of a game since there's no objectives) and a bunch of other stuff. Sadly he ragequit youtube and gamemaking some years back (Version42, Hotfix 8 was the last release) when he ran into the filesize limit of his 32bit Unity engine and didn't want to port it to a newer 64bit one. autism is one helluva drug.
https://archive.org/details/Zerahypt
some of the lore you'll see in game (Right Mouse Button+Q to scan elements of the environment and register vehicles to spawn at your leisure, there's also lore pages flying around you can read once you scanned em), some as descriptions of his music, others on his deviantart and otherwise strewn about the internet. I'd imagine some of it to be lost forever since it was posted on a long deleted discord.
but he did come back and streams on YT regularly (he is also making songs again, but appears to have abandoned gamrmaking entirely) so he could probably be asked to elaborate on any subject if he's in the mood.
it's a great universe he came up with. strange, novel, in parts unabashedly fetishistic (won't see that one in game except for bouncy boobage), and all around loads of fun. it's a shame he keeps kneecapping himself with stubbornness.

I wonder what's worse : serving as a Helldiver or a SEAF trooper
It's honestly hard to decide

>>64889317
Hating freedom

>>64889317
SEAF don't get free use of 380HE and space lasers

>>64889317
On the one hand, SEAF troopers probably spend most of their time in garrison unlike Helldivers which are at the sharp end 100% of the time.

On the other hand if bugs/bots/squids DO decide to roll up on your backwater planet you are EVEN MORE expendable than the Helldivers.

>>64889332
We just spent like 25,000,000 helldivers to save 30,000 SEAF troopers, I don't think they are nearly as expendable as we are.
I was honestly kind of hoping they would have leant more into helldivers being retarded bullet catchers meant only for missions where death was absolutely certain while having SEAF dudes be actually well trained soldiers that use actual tactics and just pretend that the helldivers are the real heroes to make keep up the charade.

>>64884480
Did he finally update his game? I thought he abandoned it

>>64889317
Why does this hack always draw tiny heads

>>64889317
as a helldiver you have infinite copies of yourself and die every day.

>>64889317
At this point I'm starting to think the regular SEAF guys got it better than us. Helldivers are sent in piecemeal to try and disrupt the very heart of enemy logistics and fortifications. No more than four men at a time, no matter what is going on down there. At least the SEAF gets weight of numbers and something resembling actual tactics, plus a longer training period (of three days).

>>64888474

How did the Ruskies ever convince anybody this was a "reliable" tank? Note I'm not saying it wasn't effective and able to take a beating in terms hard use but it was made to be swapped out and repaired at the motor pool. Meanwhile the Sherman and most British tanks were designed to be maintained by their crews in the field and kept with their particular crew for most of a campaign.

>>64903742
No idea. Lind believed this shit religiously, though. Guy was a notable memebr of the ol' Pentagon reformers.

His book also has his ingenious low-tech rural guerillas (Who totally follow PRUSSIAN military traditions, because Prussians were known for their great irregulars, right?) beat not-F-22/35s with literal downgraded F-16s because apparently they cannot dogfight.

The T-34 wasn't really meant to be reliable. It was meant to work long enough for another one to be built and sent to the front and swapped out.
German tanks had "better" shit like better engines and drive trains and all that but they were still only lasting about 100-150 miles before all the complicated fancy stuff needed to be repaired or replaced, which is also about how much range a t-34 would have before something important would crap out and need fixing.
Its a lot easier to just put the crew into a whole new tank that you have dozens of arriving on trains instead of fixing the broken ones.

>>64903742
A different standard for calling something reliable mainly. The mindset was that if it's easy to repair, it's reliable. Which honestly might be a bit of a mistranslation. Like yeah the track pins wear out, but you can carry around a zillion spares and just hammer them in, and don't even have to secure them because the tank will knock them back in for you while it's driving. So it's "reliable" never mind that if you do need to fix something while getting shot at, you're fucked.

All of you who venerate Heinleinian societies like Starship Troopers and Helldivers would actually hate to actually live in one given the social obligations they impose on individuals. They all claim to provide wide latitude when it comes to individual freedoms but you will forever remain a second class citizen if you never did military service (which is most of /k/).

Not really the worst thing with book Starship Troopers. Hell in that you don't actually need to serve the military it can be any civil service for the required years. But as we see in the story non-citizens aren't really deprived of much outside of enfranchisement. Now how much you consider that a dealbreaker is more of a personal issue which is kind of the entire idea of the society, if you truly care about having a say in it you would serve.

>>64913939
