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

Kaiserreich has recently streamed their Russia rework, which didn't spark any discussion here from what I see. Any thoughts of it? I checked out the livestream out of curiosity, but kept getting distracted by one of the lead devs, speaking in a weird, girlish tone. They had their twitter handle available on the Kaiserreich discord, so I checked it out afterwards assuming I could get some lulzy political takes. Instead, just a bunch of lolis. Guess they must be a big fan of Nabokov?

I think the Germany update killed a lot of people's interest. I have half a mind to rewrite the scenario for it just because I think it's unworkable as it is.
Why is Jones NatPop and not some shade of Socialist?

Probably because he ended up killing a bunch of people. That's it.
Ironic since even TNO fags have had him as a soc. IDK if that i cause they unironically like him though or not. From TNO news since the thread has been a bit slow they announced another one of their updates: Fiji. Fiji is being added to the game.

Their ass kisser are of course kissing ass. Since as mentioned they did an effective commie purge on their subreddit. Still I find it telling this is the type of shit they feel like leaking instead of anything on Italy, Russia, hell even Manchuria would be nice.
 
I noticed my hard drive was filling up but I had no idea why. Turns out my hoi4 crash reports file was FIFTY GIGABYTES

In other news I added in railways and fixed a bugged peace where Iberia would annex half the world

I haven't had a reliable Internet connection for the past week so this stream is news to me. If I am remembering correctly, President Kerensky was one of the first concepts in KR, which was originally a white Russia victory mod. I'm disappointed the devs decided to once again alter well established background lore in favor of their own whims, in this case making Savinkov more of a Hitler stand in. Frankly I don't think I've been excited for a KR update since the China rework. Not even the mythical 1.0 update was enough to move me to boot up KR instead of KX. In hindsight the America rework was something of a red flag. Literally in this case; the CSA was somehow wanked harder then when they had a 99% winrate pre-rework. The power of socialist magic allowed them to spawn heavy tank divisions and 20+ mountaineers in rural Washington.

ngl I think this thread should me moved from Community Watch to Games.
Respectfully, I must disagree. If nothing else, what was happening during 2020 is a catastrophe worthy of preserving in the lolcow section for the benefit of future generations. Lighting can strike twice, and with how unstable dev teams are, I bet there's already something going on right now. Problem is that a lot of this crap is hidden on discord, and the subreddits are actively policed, so info is hard to come by. The thread could use a good OP rewrite though.

You guys report your crashes?

The fact there's been little to no talk of majors getting a rework outside of Germany which even then is most likely not seeing the light of day again for literal years further proves my point of TNO development being a clusterfuck.

There's the semi-mythical Italy rework that will come with Penelope's web. What even is Penelope's Web exactly? Good question

I remember I used to watch isorrowproductions back before he affiliated himself with those Yogscast faggots and he used to be funny but after he affiliated with them he became a fag. A real shame to be honest but I imagine his relationship with that bokoen1 fag also had something to do with it.
I think ISP's OK. Did something happen?
 
He's a faggot who abandoned most of his original persona for shekels and has become NAFO-adjacent on xitter because of his friends. Generally has just become a boring retard on YouTube and turboniggeraids4000 on his Xitter account
To be fair, people displaying substantiality less tact on xitter is not an uncommon occurrence. I am willing to look the other way on this one. Simply existing as a Brit or Dane would be enough to test the sanity of a saint.
 
Apparently that was cut into several different updates. I went onto the TNO subreddit and this comment chain perfectly encapsulates the TNO fanbase.

Yeaaah that's about right. I don't understand the mentality of the people on that subreddit. It's not even respectful disagreeing about which vision is better, the people there often act like political commissars doing the dev's dirty work of damage control for free. The goal post got pushed so far away that I remember seeing somebody justifying the cycle of recycling content with pointing out that base HOI4 gameplay is trash anyway. At that point why even bother making a mod for the game?

My two cents is that I don't neccessarily dislike the ideas here, but they really struggle to make it as memorable as older Kaiserreich lore. Kerensky's assassination which got mentioned here is a good example. It would have sufficed if it was atleast left as one of the last canon events that pops up every game. Instead, most new events are walls of texts that spoonfeed you vast details about the political stage, and frankly that's just boring.
