oh damn she looks based but why does the guardian say there’s low voter turnout?

So, based off the last two posts I’ve done, you might be wondering if I’m obsessed with HOI4? The answer is yes, and my life is irreparably damaged.

It’s not that I can’t do other stuff in the day but the game sucks off my lifeforce and time that by the time I’m done with a session, I’m tired and hungry.

Paradox games suck you in like that, huh?

It wears off after a while but holy hell I’m having fun while doing so.

capitalism is the end of history, there is no other way

when punching nazis is grounds for locking the thread, you really have to be wondering who’s side they’re on…

wow, ‘trans (women) people can’t use public bathrooms’ was allowed to exist… for a while? Interesting.

Believe it or not, the world has indeed been made worse, it’s just the era of American Domination due to the collapse of the USSR has waned due to previous socio-cultural issues ramping up and COVID-19 as well as the general beginning of change across the world due to the old generation dying out

Maobubu will lead our great communist utopia!

yeah… the SRA comes to mind in how to actually resist but idk

Then there’ll be foreign intervention then millions more will perish

Ah yeah that’s true, but it makes sense because how would the leadership and ideology of the party shift if that same ideology won them the taiwan war? Though I really wished there was a way, maybe civil war? IDK.

I hate Blockchain games because of the Axie Infinity BS and those nights spent working for someone with stupid card, rng and meta strategies just so you can treat your game like a job during the pandemic. Good thing they pulled out before it tanked.

Maybe? It really depends on how you play and what you want to ‘cheat’. For example, I am a LARPer at heart, as I’m a hobbyist creative writer, so I make my army have like super tanks and futuristic air planes or something, because even with those I find myself struggling yet knowing I can do some bullshitting to get my roleplaying good.

For example in the same game in HOI4, I fought and sent some volunteer units in a French Civil War supporting the Socialists against Fascists and Liberals, and there were a lot of times where my AI nation would fail me and make me retreat, or get surrounded or pushed back, so I had to think while RP’ing that Chinese Tanks that are the pinnacle of humanity still struggle if the country you’re supporting is weak. Though, for that one I had to bullshit my way and get a focus tree for it because the USSR won and to make the game ‘interesting’ the fascists automatically rise out of a Europe devastated by it, and the Socialists were restricted from a path and are just there to get crushed by the Fascists.

From what I remember, there are economy cheats (like the income_var/liquidity specific to The Fire Rises Mod), research and army cheats (specifically only technology, you’d need a mod for actually creating units out of thin air), political cheats (this one is harder on mods like TFR, but you can usually figure it out if you remember how to connect the default vanilla commands with the new content of the mod), game rule and paths cheats (for example, you can set Russia to go USSR in the TFR mod, without you having to pray to rng god or disable volunteer limits, wargoal limits, etc.) and focus tree / decision cheats, where you can use ff to do whatever you want with them in HOI4, and decision.nochecks cheats to bypass most restrictions on that front.

That’s for HOI4, though.

hey hey he’s an honest warmonger, there’s a difference

Libertarian embarrasses himself again for the hundredth time

This is… unsurprising unfortunately, coming from fascist union-busting elon musk.

see this is why you should be wary of cameras and cloud data you can’t control

I always wondered what the ‘censorship’ meant in China if Hoyoverse and now, Kuro Games can get away with their games, but to be fair, I don’t think there are… much, to write home about in terms of actually explicit stuff, more just… subtle and not-so-subtle ways (I swear why are there two women in Nod-Krai now who are… large-breasted? )

the lübubu craze is crazy

I do also have a chaotic time management thing, I wake up, eat, shower, drink coffee then obsessively work until I burn out then scroll youtube/lemmy, go outside, touch grass, roll around in grass, then go back home, eat and scroll, obsessively work with coffee, then, toothbrush, then sleep!

Such a fun time.
