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

VariableOverflow said:
I know Panzer is still working on Godherja at a steady pace from the looks of it, Pacifica is probably still working for Paradox on Vic3. Don't know if Pacifica is still on the TNO team, probably not active at least.

And they're both still pretending to be women, of course. Still my favorite bit of HoI4 modding scene lore, how Pacifica succeeded in using TNO as a springboard to join Paradox proper, which is basically what was Panzer's whole goal with the project, and then Panzer apparently figured it must have been the pronouns that lead to Pacifica being hired, so he followed suit, but that didn't quite work out.

Pacifica finessing Panzer's dream will never not be hilarious

Is Godherja even good or notable in any way? Seems like yet another 2edgy4u Dark Fantasy setting, only this time with a heavy dose of Panzer's former Stormfag remorse nihilism.

which I gotta say, Panzer really does seem to love his heckin' "everyone is gonna die!" nihilism.

BTWH has hit another snag, apparently their dev team imploded and at least three of their devs (including 1 lead) ragequit over some debate over the new Israeli-Palestinian conflict which also got them to shut down their political channel entirely. Unfortunately, I missed it before the lock because I can't be as terminally online as these losers, but from what I can tell it started because somebody posted some of Vaush's retardation and the devs who walked were 'Disdaimonia' (lead dev, seems to have been mostly working on the VIP tags and Michigan content), 'AzureStarPaladin' (worked on Baltimore/Capitol Military District content) and 'shibubobble' (seems to have worked on the ideologies & other mechanical stuff?). I did see AzureStarPaladin saying something along the lines of 'Hamas bad'and Israel bad but gassing all kikes also bad' earlier that day, so I assume these people walked because the others went full Hasan Piker, got a little too eager to decolonize the Jews and then tried to struggle-session them when they disagreed.

The remainder insist their mod is still totally not dead and have decided to sequester all further political autism into a separate Discord channel, which I frankly have no interest in joining because I know it's just going to be more of the same old insanity. These people don't have a single original political thought to offer, it's literally all just regurgitating modern academic intersectional 'decolonization' & rainbow soup claptrap.

LOL. LMAO even. This is from the same group who once tried to bully someone off for having a grandad who fought in Vietnam, saying he was a war criminal when grandpappy was mostly a grunt at best. Sadly I know these types and part of the reason I feel a lot of leftist mods and hoi4 mods in general get deleted or rather implode is due to these types of political autismos. They get to radical over politics so it falls to bits. I've been from several projects in HOI4 and on some dev teams before and its always these people.

Never played it and barely touched CK3, but from what I understand it's a good mod, with plenty of new game mechanics like magic etc. I have no contact with the CK3 modding scene either so I don't know what the common rating of it would be, but yeah, I think "good" would describe the mod pretty well.

Are they really making Kurt von Schleicher their unwholesome 100 Nazi chud character? Schleicher was more of a schemer and background player than a direct leader. Plus, he was more of an authoritarian in the Prussian Junker sense than a fascist type.

Apparently. Hugenberg or any of the DNVP/AV leaders would be a better fit in the kaiserreich tl.

I feel like the HoI4 modding community (and Paradox themselves) have forgotten that HoI4 is supposed to be a strategy game and not political simulator. The government tab, and national focuses, have taken a center stage over drawing lines and directing squares on a map, which is a lot more fun than waiting for focuses to finish or reading economic figures..

Political simulator shit can be fun if it's well crafted and well written.

Yeah exactly. So I don't dismiss political simulator shit out the gate, but most of the time it's boring tranny fanfiction with almost 0 permanent consequences. Or your country is doomed to fail.

Literally the first and only time I looked into what TNO was I came across an autistically detailed description of muh OC lesbian antifa romance cawntent (dont steal) overthrowing nazi thatcher and I realised in an instant the creators of the mod were lumpy looking troons who all looked like variations of this guy

In the year or two since my initial judgement was not nearly harsh enough

I didn't play the new UK content but in the original there was indeed a lore event chain of a lesbian couple who were members of the resistance and their end depended on weather you side with HMMLR or the Collaborators. They either die or barely escape when the collabs win. Also Thatcher was a member of the collaborators and couldn't be overthrown in the old content.

Fanfic is a huge problem in TNO. To the point where the writers were sharing teasers of literal fanfic they wrote. It's not even in the game it's just shit they wrote as a hobby on the side.

True but it was never the centre point of the game.
For example vanilla justifications for war are absolutely ridicilous. But how you end up going to war isn't as important as actually going and playing it. You can fill the narrative gaps in your mind and roleplay it. But the more detailed govermnent and diolomacy mechanics will end up railroading the player.
