Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

Is there any mod that does not include absurd buffs to socialist states?
Like this is 14yo Balkan nationalist tier.
CoF needs buffs like these to have a fighting chance otherwise Germany naturally steamrolls them.

You can still easily defeat CoF by naval invasions. Every country in KX has at least one path that gives absolute OP naitonal spirits.

Strange as I would think KX would have an axe to grind against them given the syndie dominated normie KR has unpersoned them and their devs. Guess no matter the team or the universe, they just can't stop making socialist France super powerful or something like that.
Probably has more to do with Germany being incredibly weak in old Kaiserreich; they were supposed to collapse in the same way as vanilla France most games prior to 2018 or so. Of course, having debilitating nerfs on a nation isn't the point of mods like these so I guess they just went with the route of powercreep instead.
 

Okay sorry to keep doing this since its a repeat of my last post sorta but more and more it seems even the TNO fanbase is getting sick of TNOdevs.

“erm the new lore says in five years Germany will get a new power struggle 🤓☝️

i simply follow as the game says. Shouldn’t have to follow cryptic posts on a discord I’m not even on, or on rare reddit occasionally.
Which fair. I dunno if ever brought up but TNO and other HOI4 mods have some strange fear of showing their work. Instead giving leaks like white liberals to starving African children, which is to say controlled and sparingly. It just makes it more annoying when it feels there is a lack of communication from devs + they just simply hate you and the gamers still left playing.
 
Sounds like something muppetfan might cook up.

Also, TFR dropping peak once again:
They should really have a unique tech tree where they try to make Abrams tanks into either Maus replicas (just layer on 500mm of stolen top secret composite armor and ERA) and chop down AR15s to resemble STG-44s for that complete LARP experience.
 
As cool as this is, I'm 50/50 on thinking the Atomwaffen tag might cause Paradox to remove this mod off steam.
It's hard to say. As long as they don't actually simulate genocide, which IIRC is the no-no limit for Paradox, it should be fine. There's plenty of edgier stuff on the Workshop, and if a mod like TNO doesn't get taken down for Tabby, whose content also features implied genocide but not simulated genocide, I don't see why TFR would be any different.

I could see it starting shit, given the fact TFR takes place in Current Year + 56 and its coming out during a election year, I can totally see "people" throwing a bitch fit over the evil Nazi Vampire Child Rapists and trying to get it taken down from the workshop. Hell didn't Kaiserredux get into some shit over their large amount of far-right paths in the mod at one point?

Muppetfan's toozers are the only ones worth analyzing. They're the HOI4 equivalent of David Dee's art; everyone knows he'll never actually publish anything, so for all intents and purposes they are his mod and their ability to offer a look into the mind of a developmentally stunted zoomer consoomer trying to capture the nostalgia of early millennial manchildren are infinitely more entertaining than the psuedohistorical-wank novellas other HOI4 modders make you read.

Who is this Muppetfan and where can I see some of his material?

I think the only reason this isn't a highlight is because Jacoren uploaded this as an attachment and not something that will jump out if you're scrolling through the pages, because nothing else in this thread has made me laugh as hard as seeing Johnny Depp leading New Afrika, Butch Hartmann in charge of the socialist great plains, Michael Jackson leading free America, a Nintendo-Sega controlled Hawaii and the muppets staffing the Federal Government (to be fair they wouldn't be as big puppets as the current slate of American politicians).

Honestly kinda want to play this.
 
I was dying of boredom this weekend so I tried to do a WerBell run in TNO and dear god is the mod bloated now. My computer is beefy enough to run KX very well and all the slowdowns from the "economic" system and all the minigames was just too unbearable. I'm pretty sure they also haven't done any actual playtests of the Siberian warlords because there's almost zero supply which makes fighting any war a massive pain in the ass. I'm really hoping TFR will be the final nail in the coffin of TNO and we can get back to mods with actual gameplay.

I'd argue they don't even playtest most of TNO's "content".

This is the kind of autism I want to see more of in general, too long have we been blasted with weird sexual shit and literal crimes, no more should we need to read about how feetfucker88 groomed a minor on discord, we must rvturn to pure, happy autism.

This is the part where someone quote replies me telling me Muppetfan is a convicted child rapist or something, isn't it? At the very least, fascist Sheldon Cooper is a inspired choice.
