Look friend, it's just a video game where you can't even make genocide happen and none of that matters. You can either look at it as whitewashing history or obliquely acknowledging what happened. Neither of which makes a difference to the game itself.

Al-Saqr posted:yeah it looks like the Ukranians winning in Kherson is hopefully going to be the natural stopping point of the war, the russians will get the DPR, LPR and half of Zaporozhia and the other bank of Kherson, while ukraine will keep 85% of their country. Do you think the ultranationalist and outright nazi groups in Ukraine will stop the bloodshed, even if Russia pulled back right this second? Do you think that this war, which has been going on for 8 years now, will be over that easily?

Atrocious Joe posted:the Eastern Front is being transformed in the European imagination into being remembered like US Western expansion. There will be an acknowledgement that crimes occurred and they were horrific, but it was also an experience that created national identities and forged heroes for those nations. Only makes sense with Manifest Destiny being the blueprint for the Nazi Drang nach Osten

Lostconfused posted:Pretty sure you can't even genocide anyone even if you wanted to do. You'd have to try really hard to exploit the game to even up the mortality rate that high somehow. Well the boarding school mass graves aren't explicitly modeled in the game, but the decision to create them is there.

There's nothing particularly notable aside from the fact that this "acknowledgement" of Ukrainian nationalism actually serves to paper over a genocide where Ukrainians benefited. Another good post!

You should see all experiences as opportunities to contextualize your perception of the greater world.

That's a random event that any country can get. They just sometimes end up being very poignant because of what laws and minority populations a "country" starts with like Lostconfused posted:When the RNG gets a bit too political.

Look if you want to talk about genocide then I think you should talk about it and not diminish the issue by contextualizing it through a bad game that refuses to address that point because it's a politically sensitive topic that gets in the way of their cultural/national/ideological power fantasy. Looking at the world through the lens of a paradox game is no way to live.

Truga posted:it's fundamentally a lot of different things to a lot of different people, op. yaoi isn't just porn, but you can bet your rear end a ban on yaoi would ban everything not just the 18+ section There's other subgenres for different subcultures that all have their own aesthetic and audience. I don't think the dominant culture will bother to destinquish between any of them, it's all just "moral degradation". PoontifexMacksimus posted:Whoa Viccy 3 is a bad game?

Truga posted:the only good paradox game is stellaris because it doesn't shy away from the stupider topics of empires that was a deliberate design choice on the part of the devs as they wanted to make a war simulator not a game where you can do the holocaust. whether thats appropriate for a world war 2 game is up for debate but knowing the political beliefs of a big chunk of paradox's player base i think that disallowing the player from meaningfully interacting with civilian populations (except as an abstract number for manpower) is certainly defensible lol

Danann posted:https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1591986635142561793 A little surprised at how few weapons russia had available for this invasion Mildly alarmed that our military is worried about running out of weapons too I am not a military geek, but aren't artillery shells, like, some steel wrapped about 50 lbs of gunpowder with 100 lbs of lead as the payload? And I guess a priming cap and some anti corrosion stuff probably. Big giant bullets. Seems like you could tool up a factory to make a thousand of these a day at just a couple % above the cost of materials 24/7/365 Are they mostly concerned about the HIMARS and Javelins or what. Looks like they've built 45k javelins so surely the manufacturing capacity is there? Seems like the biggest risk for everyone involved is Ukraine and Russia run out of artillery and rockets and get into a protracted rifle shooting war on live television and nobody can successfully draft in times of war to replenish the army. Seems like the biggest loss for countries globally is hundreds of hours of video of Russia's brightest and richest people of child bearing age queued up at borders then walking across the border and never coming back. Everyone ages 10-30 the next time a war breaks out somewhere, those people (who can afford to) are all going to walk out the door and across the border rather than get shot at (which is fine by me, but a real problem if you're in the business of war)

Atrocious Joe posted:The button increases assimilation of Cree pops by +20% Assimilation doesn't mean what a normal person thinks of assimilation but rather as a hosed up brain of a paradox game dev thinks of assimilation. It's impossible for Cree to assimilate in "Canada"   Edit: They will only assimilate under "Multiculturalism" law, which would already make them an accepted culture group. At which point in time it probably only lowers the rate at which their total population will grow? Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 20:43 on Nov 14, 2022 |
