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

How did you win? I mostly stopped Biden's advance but I couldn't produce enough equipment to make better units or to counter attack Biden. Did you just rush the economy tree?
On my successful run I rushed the army tree, any focuses that gave me money and turned off auto repay debts. I spammed the decision "expand Congress' budget" which gives 50 billlion dollars and I used the money on the small arms manufacturers decisions. Also built some infantry with arty, which eventually became my baseline troop.
 
Everything is going swimmingly

I am curious however, how do you get funny clock man?

You need to play Komi (AKA the funny radical people) and need to get the Right in power with Shafarevich in charge. Next a soft coup should fire which a mechanic called Passionary will kick off. Click on any decisions, events, focuses, etc. that will empower Taboritsky and his gang of merry lads. Finally unite West Russia which you should have given the Schizo Clock Gentleman enough influence that the nightmare can begin.

NSM desperately needs to get major buffs to armor and weapons production which isn't that far fetched since you quite literally take over Detroit.
It's extremely far-fetched, Detroit is a post-industrial wasteland inhabited by incredibly unproductive people and the actual means of producing the stuff that earned it the title Motor City were shipped overseas decades ago.

Well you see; we are all brilliant strategists and political geniuses, and we definitely would win easily in real life. Therefore, it's the mods fault for being crap. Can't even recruit gangs into the SS and make Vince Mcmahon Reichsminister of Economics.
Terrible mod, 0/10, would not tell my friends and family about it.
 
Doublepost, but I have confirmed my suspicions that regrettably this build of TNO has a more boring version of England (doesn't even have UK reunification or Cornwall content)

When I can be bothered to I'm going to troll around for an even older build and get the true England experience back where it belongs, spaghetti code and all

Also going to check if clock man is still here. If not, then he's also coming back.

In any case, it's funny how fast neu-TNO devs started rewooorking. Going off of the mod credits, this was the first patch without pinkpanzer and they already started changing crap. The rot began long ago.

I can also tell as also went digging in TNO. Making a person mod that will never release (toozer mod and all that and I am one nigga) but that Peter Griffin image and debug menu actually had more dialogue that Pink Panzer had written. It was silly and stupid, but it showed how Pink even cared about making the stupid debug stuff silly and fun for his devs. I know we lament a lot here, but I really do miss him now. The Monkey's Paw got to us and TNO.

No doubt, but considering those boomer retards are somehow able to even take over Michigan the suspension of disbelief required for that wouldn't have me questioning them magically restarting Detroit's long dead industry.

I miss the goofy stuff like Josias hiring Dirlewagner to find relics for him and that event chain between Italy and America over getting permission to film Star Wars in Tunisia.

One thing I could never stand of TNO was all the fag events, laws and focii. You'd think that in a world where Fascism and Nazism are dominant ideologies this fag shit would be stamped by everyone from the liberal democracies, to the communist remnants and the fascist states. I mean, it didn't happen in our timeline during WW2 nor it did happen during the Cold War.

What were they thinking? Besides grooming minors in Discord, sharing their HRT moobs and rewooorking everything.

NSM famine events because their leader eats too much of the rations in order to maintain his gunt.

Dunno what you are talking about really save for the England content. Only gay stuff from old TNO was: Stonewall (TBF did happen at the time), the lesbian couple in Ingerland that join the resistance (this one is the most egregious and silly), Sablin decriminalizing homosexuality (they misunderstand Leninist laws on homosexuality and Lenin in general), SBA wholesome gay space communism or whatever, and Gus Hall time period accurate homophobia.

Ironically the new team has klnda toned it down. I think the farthest you can go now is homosexuality legalized or just kinda shrugged at whereas in old tno you could get it normalized (IDK if it was actually possibly but the law did exist in game). The nu-TNO devs actually wanted to scrap it entirely for the same reasons you gave but got some push back. so they regulated it to the misc section in hopes of it being forgotten about. Though if you want the real answer, the reason is found in the plans for the now cancelled TNO2.

IRL the 70s were a big time of cultural change and not unlike the 2010s/2020s imo and yes one of those things was a rise in both black nationalism radicalism and even LGBT stuff as the first gay rights groups and the infamous rainbow fag flag itself was made during this era. How this played into TNO2 is at least for the U.S you had an honest to god wokeness meter and mini-game. The idea actually despite the name seemed interesting. Where as president you would have to balance the culture war or else you would get a horrible national spirit debuff on how polarized you made society. This ranged from abortion rights, gay rights, black and racial rights, immigration, etc. Some of the ideas were interesting of you having to pick and choose what issues you wanted to support against others. I.E you can make backroom deals to say support abortion rights but you promise the right wing to impose tere policy of tighter borders and immigration. Not too dissimilar to how Reagan in the 80s is blamed with turning California blue since he made a deal with Democrats to be lax on spic migration into the state in return for political favors at the time.

Sorry for the yapping but I feel as the autistic scribe of the deep TNO lore. Since again I was there also shitting on Pink Panzer but the guy was ambitious enough that he had a plan for the 70s and kicked their asses into gear to release the mod and updates it felt like the 70s and 20 years content for nations seemed possible. As of now people doubt we'll see some of the loc fixed for the three major super powers.

It's quite simple really. Supporting homosexuality has been presented as a virtue for the past several decades. Hence why in TNO the good guys have more liberal gay laws while the bad gays hate them.

Unironically, the TFR guys should have a portrait edit of Burt. He should actually get skinnier as the Civil War goes on when all the Walmarts and McDonalds are out of commission for the time being but instantly get back into his baseline weight as soon as NSM reunites America.
