This is a great way to let gamers connect with eachother. It would prevent some loneliness with gamers here in the west

Correct, definitely not as long as map strategy but it had some grand strategy stuff in it for like territorial control and we def had a few day long games going. Def was spaced out tho
Question, do they have North Korean dialect dubs or is it all in South Korean? I know there's not much of a difference and they can understand each other, but I think I'm just curious if there is north korean V.As.

I have no idea. This might be a great question for that Chinese student in NK that shared this. If you are interested in asking him and also have a Rednote account, you can find him as "readmorebooks7". http://xhslink.com/o/5PzdcG2OoCi
There are canadians, french, russian, usonians and japanese IP users in the comment section.

@rainpizza I'm amused by OG Starcraft. That was huge in the RoK.

is it LAN or connected to china? I'm thinking it might be LAN considering that CS2 isn't named appropriate to the Chinese version

@Moidialectica [he/him, comrade/them] It's almost definitely on their own intranet. Not LAN, but not connected to the internet that most other countries access.
A Brief Account of Studying in North Korea | First Look at a North Korean Internet Cafe
Visited a North Korean internet cafe—pretty decent experience.
Since I went right after lunch, there weren't many locals yet. By the time I was about to leave, it started getting busier.
The machines didn't display specs, but they were all Player Nation hardware, offering a solid gaming experience. Here, Dota 2 and CS:GO are modified into standalone versions that connect via LAN. This means all players in a room are physically present in the same internet cafe, though you never know which machine your teammates are on. In CS:GO, there was even a room named “ikun”—clearly a North Korean gamer who'd been to China [laughing crying emoji].
They have 70 games total—most I've seen before. You can even change the language internally. I know you're wondering if that language is available... and yes, it is [wry smile].
It's $2 per hour. Fellow internet cafe enthusiasts, come give it a try and share your thoughts [smack lips]. #NorthKoreaStudyAbroad #MyStudyAbroadLife #NorthKoreaTravel #NorthKorea #PhDLife

Well, they have these other games:
@REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml In case you are also interested in the list.
Hitman is rad and I did not expect Dark Picture.

@Moidialectica [he/him, comrade/them] It's almost definitely on their own intranet. Not LAN, but not connected to the internet that most other countries access.
Now, I know the answer! Here is the information from a Chinese student living in NK https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9593009/7240364
@Moidialectica@hexbear.net Also, to answer your question.
Sadly, I don't know the answer 🫠 They could also be connected to Russia because CS is popular there as well.
Idk what they call it in their native language, but it's nice they have their own version of PC bang hours. Looks pretty chill
Korea has fallen, millions must be executed with anti-aircraft guns
From the Chinese student in NK that I follow in Xiaohongshu:
朝鲜留学小记plog｜初探朝鲜网吧 去了趟朝鲜网吧，体验感还不错。 因为是吃完午饭就去的，本地人还不多，等到快走了的时候逐渐人就多了起来。 机器看不到配置，都是玩家国度的设备，游戏体验还是不错的。这边把dota2、csgo都改成了单机版，可以局域网连接。也就是说一个房间里的所有玩家都在这个网吧里，只是不知道队友在哪个机器。csgo里居然有个房间名字叫ikun，一看就是来过中国的朝鲜小黑子[笑哭R]。 这里一共有70个游戏，大多都见过，还可以内部更改语言，我知道大家想问有没有那个语，还真有[偷笑R]。 一个小时2美金，各位网吧爱好者们都来评价一下吧[吧唧R]。#朝鲜留学 #记录我的留学生活 #朝鲜旅游 #朝鲜 #博士生日常
