I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.
I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the "ironic" fascist to actual fash pipeline.
Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck
Sometimes I feel bad for the kids these days who never had a chance to role-play as the Soviet Union in a computer game when they were younger. It was truly an experience, and I don’t even know what games these days can come close to providing an equivalent of that.
For Cuba and South America there is Tropico and for USSR there is Workers and Resources. What would be the simulation game for Laos/ Vietnam/ China/ North Korea/ East Germany/ other socialist projects?
China: Mao's Legacy is amazing for China, though far more political driven then those other games
Ostalgie
These days they role play in map games and then become esoteric liberal nazbols
TNO is a laboratory where new kinds of fascism are synthesized
I wonder what their discord is like lmao
Incomprehensible in-jokes abt the personal lives of 60s European politicians, mostly
I imagine it’s Destiny fans calling Vaush fans “tankies” because they said they should accept Nazis but not befriend them
Roleplaying as a nazi is relatively common i hear
Hearts of Iron 4
Alternate history or no history (to the extent that's even possible) is so much better than whatever the fuck HOI4 is
We need to retvrn to Red Alert
Sort of, yes, but that doesn’t come with a janky, campy story complete with live action sequences about how erasing Hitler from history led to the rise of Stalin and his evil plans to dominate the world. It’s not the same lol!
True! Instead you just get bad-weird Nazi or Trot fanfiction in that game lmao
you can form the U.S.S.R. in Victoria 3
And you can start as the USSR in HOI4 and not stop at Berlin!
Next DLC gives you the option of forming the Communist International, too.
