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

[Irrelevant]

Here's some observations I've had with mods in current year compared to a decade ago.

Ambitions are way too high these days. Modders are constantly planning projects that end up being just as big if not often smaller than the one man projects of yesteryear.
Mods have gone from being one person personal projects to multiteam endeavors.
Teams are filled with drama, and usually consist of two people who actually know how to do shit like coding and modelling while there's a 100 parasites just there to groom.
The people who actually do a lot of the work end up leaving or getting kicked, forcing the rest of the team to try and scrounge up the pieces left.
People used to constantly borrow assets from each other and repurpose existing resources, today you'll be hounded for daring to put a gun model into your mod which another modder released for free.
There was plenty of fetish and political content in modding back in the day, but modders today are way less upfront about it, releasing a mod with snake breeding while claiming to be a mature and lore friendly mod.
Discord drama is cancer.
Increasing amount of cases where publishers and developers are curating modding content.

I honestly don't think modding is in a good place. Developers have already made it difficult to mod any modern titles, and when a moddable game does release larger projects just get bogged own in the discord drama quagmire and you just end up with mods making female tits bigger.

I agree but this path was visible even two decades ago, especially in regards to ambitions and repurposing.

In Doom/Quake/Unreal/etc one person would make something and hack together content and if others liked it they'd contribute better quality maps, models, etc.

Then in the HL2 days you'd get "designers" or "writers" with nothing to show asking for mappers and modelers to make their mod for them.

I think Minecraft brought expectations back to earth but they've gone back up.

Is 4chans TNO-Redux real is it going to happen?
And is TNO permanantly fucked now?

...and you just end up with mods making female tits bigger.

And even then there's a good chance nowadays those will get deleted/banned in any mainstream mod repository.

You know what, since this whole horrorshow is going on, might as well heap some more wood on the fire, and provide what I know of Freddie (Pacifica).

1. Pacifica has a Ukrainian "girlfriend" who's in Ukraine or Canada at the moment. (Near certainly another troon)
2. Pacifica has done Discord roleplay where they roleplayed as a horny shadow demon with tentacles, among others.
3. Desires "femboys" (Don't ask me how I know, or why.)

These are just my little tidbits to add to this whole shitheap. Might add more if anyone is interested in hearing me jaw on about it.

They're also composed primarily of Russians; That other guy was right, Slavs for whatever reason are the secret ingredient to having mods in current year that are not shit.

most likely because PC and woke bullshit have completely passed by Russia and eastern Europe
and if the Poles I've worked with are anything to go by, the culture is much more straight-talking and people have a much better work ethic

Go on, that sounds pretty interesting

I've never bothered with looking into the dev teams of these mods since I started playing HOI4 when it was first released. I remember hearing about some drama surrounding the Kaiserriech moderators all being syndicalist sympathizers but that seemingly died down pretty fast. But from the get-go this mod always struck me as really odd. Now I see the reason why. I will never see the HOI modding community the same. I guess now the question to ask is just how many of these devs are secretly trannies, commies and nazis?

Panzer did a livestream where he is covered some of the topics in here, he seems to be a little upset and is trying to do some damage control while blaming 4chan and trolls for his modding woes.

He is active on twitch right now as well too: https://www.twitch.tv/thepinkpanzer

I dont think anyone has looked at whats new in the game itself yet but the github notes show that the devs are incompatent as hell and even have Crunch time for a video game mod like they are larping at being a game studio and failing awfully at it.
a guy analyzed the github notes a few pages ago. also @slackjawed man has some great vids if you are still lost.

Then again I hear people complain about shitty office jobs where managers do nothing and boss around the interns with stupid and pedantic rules all the time so I guess if panzer wanted to use his work on TNO to get himself a real job he has all the experience he needs now.

I wasn't reading the leaked Gitlab comments, I was reading the leaked google excel documentations. Specifically the complaint forum. I'll have a look at them soon though. Also, I'll reupload it so everyone can take a look for themselves, you'll need a spreadsheet program to read them. Probably just import into Google Excel.

Is 4chans TNO-Redux real is it going to happen?
And is TNO permanantly fucked now?

Both are still in development and unless you want to go count every single person with a development related role online or offline, (210 before this) we'll have no idea how dire the long term impact could be. This part of the reason this was so hyped up is because of how symbolic a blow it was. Lead devs leaving back to back, former led dev disinterested in returning to his place, massive leak of almost behind the scenes developer content outside of the Discord, mass censorship of the TNO Discord and claims that everything will be fine and nothing mattered against the leaker's claims that everything was at least initially completely fucked behind the scenes with a supposed power struggle. Which right now sits at a "maybe"

Well, alright.

I'm an acquaintance of theirs, but won't tell my name for reasons of anonymity and because I'm not keen on getting fucked over in return.

Met them after being expelled from an alternate history group (Long story for another time) back in May or April for a roleplay thing. I got along with them because I liked them somewhat. Was interesting, to say the least, as knowing them involved me with TNO and Iron Grip, (another story for another time) along with other things.

But onto the more interesting stuff you guys want.

1. With the Discord roleplay thing, they always went for androgynous characters. Fucking always. Pacifica even put their own face on one of their characters as a reference, I guess due to his own megalomania. And with the horny tentacle monster, I won't state specifics, but let's say that some 'light' ERP went on with that.

2. Pacifica made an 'RP' lesbian relationship between another one of their characters, a socialist revolutionary from a Fascist America, with another character Isoted (Brought from one time and place to another) from 2020. (Not sure if another troon or actual girl).

3. Tended to harp on and on and on about some Socialist bullshit or whatever in character and out. In retrospect, not surprised.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I'm busy today, and will come back and add more if anyone wants more.

Once you have time then you should because holy fuck how in the hell this kind of a fag got to a position of being praised and treated seriously is a big question to me

[Marissa Moira]

he chose Pacifica as the name because of gravity falls


If you want to keep these people out of your games keep the technical aspects of the game high, have no easy mode or something that amounts to Press X to Continue, mechanics must be complex and the trannies will want to kill themselves halfway through. Because stopping to think and plan means they start thinking about how their entire existence is a lie.

praise deh sneed.

"people seem to think the axis had a plan for world domination because the allies did" -Curtis Yarvin, any axis victory where it is planet nazi is fantasy fag shit. the axis would be larger, but still not america in terms of strength and Colonizing Russia was not gonna happen. thousand week reich is just as autistic and nigger brained

Imagine being so much of a dumb "Dark Enlightment" white nigger that you unironically quote Moldbug on a casual conversation like he's an Academic authority figure and not a pseudointelectual lolcow.
Why am I not surprised that you gave $20 to Josh?
Are you @CrunkLord420 sock?
Btw quote Voxday next.
