The Developer of Solar Nations 2 just responded to the criticism
The post that started itPeople accused his game of being "far-right propaganda"
Redditors are NOT happy
>>739438871Sounds based. What's the closest thing to a futuristic German Reich in the game?
>game 10 /vst/ autists care about because it can be Terra Invicta but good>let's bait /vpol/ culture warrior subhumans about itDon't do this shit.
>>739438871yeesh fine, I'll give you 10 bucks, times are tough i get it
>>739440286The Nigerian Commune
>>739438903funny how he makes this post seemingly blind to the literally thousands of settings that are heavily biased towards communism/progressivism. what's with the double standard?
>>739440497But yes the author lets his chuddy shit leak a bit too much>le Russian history is fucking up and people die but they survive haha :D>China le breaking apart like history haha remember the Three Kingdoms :DDD>le French keep losing in wars amirite :DDit's like the game was written by old reddit memesI understand the whole>I'm writing from the perspective of each, so the communists claim to restore the revolutionary values of America while the fascist want to brutally enforce order etc.but you can tell where his personal opinions lie because the LARP content is focused on wholesome autocracy and Nazi Lunar bases. Which can be fun, but all those games are LARPing simulators, so you should give larp material to everyone, technocracies and communism don't have shit.Anyway, it's a very early alpha so I hope he'll add more content to flesh out other factions in the future.Also I think the "gay nation" was removed, and thank god because that was retarded. The "space Rome" shit is also retarded and should be removed.
>>739441429>heavily biased towards communism/progressivismYou mean towards being kind and good?How horrible
>>739438903>>739438951>just make your own games!>WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT
>>739441634Also he lets in some weird chudesque elements that I don't really understand>Mexico controls no territory outside its capital, in 2025, it's "cartel territory" treated as a state, so it's piss easy for the US to landgrab all of Mexico for free. Why? If corruption means loss of state control, half of India and Indonesia, Brazil, should be broken like this>"Communist China" instead of "People's Republic of China", it's been 50 years since they got the UN seat, this is embarrassing >"tribalist administrations" shown with a swastika, the right facing one too which is the Nazi one, no idea why>weirdly pro Russian for some reason>blatantly both anti-Chinese and anti-American, both get fucked and in civil wars. Although China usually becomes wholesome liberal and US wholesome fascist>Europe, UK, Japan straight up called cucked American vassals>US called Israel's golem to fight their wars [trvke]Showing demographic issues as a real problem for Europe/Japan/China/Korea is good though, a lot of games would shy away from that.
>>739438871is it turn based or real time?
>>739438871Based. Now I'll deffo buy his game. If those wokeshits wanna carry out their deluded fantasies, they can, but leave the rest of us in peace.
>>739440286You can make a space Hyperborea, and the game won't stand in your way. That makes him based.
>>739442518You are being baited.>>739442498Grand Strategy, think Paradox games or Terra Invicta. There's an in-game date and you can pause it or let it play.
>>739442386>the right facing one too which is the Nazi oneYou realize that it's not exclusive to nazis and has been used by various tribes as early as before 1000 AD, right?
>>739442659Other countries that can get more immigrants while keeping high stability will rape your ethnostate thoughever
>>739442386>Mexico controls no territory outside its capital, in 2025, it's "cartel territory" treated as a state, so it's piss easy for the US to landgrab all of Mexico for free. Why?Mexico is a shit hole in real life. The ruling party, Morena, are nothing but a bunch of corrupt and deluded commies that treat Mexico City like their personal fiefdom, and don't even get me started on the horrors outside the city.
>>739442710a shame I can only really play strategy games if they're turn based/4X
>>739442882I saw an article about how Mexico City is painting everything in expensive garish pastel colors for tourists while most of the roads still have pot holes, lol
>>739442793I'm not saying that he's a Nazi, I'm just saying that it tells something about the dev's mindset>I'm going to use that evil no-no symbol that those KEKED devs don't, they can't stop meWhile games don't use it so they won't end up banned in some markets.Using the other facing swastika for any country outside of India is weird, and even for them there are better symbols, India should have the Ashoka wheel>>739442882Fair enough, but you can show lack of government control by having that territory as part of the country (which it is) and just have high unrest + low admin efficiency. Making it separate from the country of Mexico is weird, it's lawless territory, not territory in rebellion.It would actually be correct to do this with Chiapas, showing it as autonomous Zapatista territories, but it doesn't, it's Yucatan Cartel.
>dev gave in to the luddites and removed all AI content from the gameshan't be supporting this slop
>>739438951>EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL CHUD EVERYTHING SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENT>*makes statement*>NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING NAZII hope one day men smarter than me psychoanalyze the brains (or lack thereof) of reddit leftoids.
>>739442386>Mexico controls no territory outside its capital, in 2025, it's "cartel territory" treated as a stateThis is actually very on-point. Not even trying to throw shade at the dirty browns, but Mexico is in the very unfortunate position where the criminal elements hold as much if not more power than the "legitimate" government. It's basically Mad Max down there, with only the pretense of government rule keeping things from devolving into full warlord-esque barbarism.
>>739443314This game *is* a political sim my slow friend, your 2015 strawman doesn't work here. And for a project like these you need multiple points of view or your personal opinions will cloud the shit out of your implementation of real world issues in the game.The game does have the balls to tackle real problems in the current world that other games don't, and the solutions to those problems aren't pretty, and good for him, that's why the game has potential. But as a solo project first contact with the outside world (the audience) a lot of things that seemed natural and intuitive to you will be called out as biased, and it's expected that some things will be changed.
>>739443558>with only the pretense of government rule keeping things from devolving into full warlord-esque barbarismSpecifically their military. It's why they say if you're a foreigner and need help, go to a soldier and never a cop, because the cops are all corrupt and the army is the only actual law enforcement they have. Reminds me of a story where a guy went to Mexico City, got mugged but ran away, found a couple policemen and told them, they then beat and mugged him, and ran off, then the guy went to a military checkpoint and they were like "yeah that's just how it goes here."
>>739443558It causes some funny situations. Could, in real life, the US or Brazil or China invade the Yucatan, and claim>we didn't actually attack Mexico, the government has no control there! we invaded the cartel!and then occupy the territory forever? That's why I don't like it being independent, it fucks up the territorial integrity of Mexico which nobody disputes.
>>739438871"setting where the fascists might actually be right and the communists are shown to be evil retards" sounds interesting, you don't see that a lot considering modern cultural biases. I have a suspicion the dev might walk back a lot of this due to backlash though
>>739444331>setting where the fascists might actually be rightIt isn't this one. It correctly shows fascism as a reaction to material decline under liberalism and opportunist strongmen vultures picking through trash. Pretty based even if accidental.
>>739444605a shame, it actually sounded promising
>>739443682I am glad he tries to be impartial.
>>739443314When they're back in the madhouses and their brains can be dissected, we shall know the consequences their insanity inflicted upon their bodies. Other than genital mutilation, of course.
>>739444605the only thing its based on is retarded midwit faggots that think the only ideology with the backbone to kill your communist fucking faggots is bad and evil specifically because they killed so many of you fucking communist faggots and put your jew masters in fucking camps so they couldn't import and new flavor of golem nigger to cause problems and destabilize their nations.
Why doesn't Putin just do this?Is he stupid????
You got me OP well done
>>739446674>something something buzzword buzzword jew my daddy hitlerRead a book and take some medication.>>739447485I hope you can tolerate some absolute garbage developer graphics and the worst UI you've seen in your life. A lot of soul though.
>>739441634>>739442386Not reading your posts tranny seether
>>739447629Bad UIs and graphics come with the genre, I'll give it a try after work
>>739447636>how dare you play the game and give feedback instead of having a /pol/fag melty like meNah, I don't think so, I actually play the game and will continue correcting the dev for the retarded mistakes and bad design so the game can actually improve.>Belgium is 100% Dutch instead of split with French culture>Left bank Ukraine/Donbass has no ore deposits>South France has a magic "Occitan" culture, that hasn't existed in a thousand years. Too much EU4? Meanwhile there is no regionalism in fucking Spain, no Catalan speakers>he insists on calling assimilated cultures "Islamo-European" no matter their actual origin. Resulting in retardation like African French from Christian countries being called Islamic. Either make an Afro-French culture like Black Americans or use their actual cultures.>North Macedonia is Serbian instead of Bulgarian (based Titoist?!)>South China is a magical "Cantonese" culture that doesn't exist. But they also have "Taiwanese" as a culture, with "Taiwanese" pops in mainland China. Makes no sense. Either Taiwanese is a civic culture limited to the island, or it represents Hokkien ancestry in which case Taiwan should also be Hokkien >meanwhile the Koreans are one culture, so by that logic South Chinese cultures should be the same between China and Taiwan>also Chinese-Americans are straight up Han culture lmao, there's no Asian-American ancestry like with African-Americans>some non-ethnostates have their own civic culture (Switzherland, Singapore) but not others and a lot more but I got bored, I'll save them for the feedback essay
>/pol/fag meltykind of term that shows you can instantly disregard anything else the poster says
>>739442002>hey who said you can critique our game?
That game is very possibly a scam btw. He won't finish it. It is maybe 10% done, but he said he plans for the game to be "finished" in a few months.
>>739448912Thank you for confirming you are indeed a /pol/fag. You may disregard my post as it won't be useful to you, since you don't play the game.
>>739448794This is exactly the kind of hair splitting lefties do when they want to criticize a le chud game but know they'll just be laughed away when criticizing it just for being a le chud game "the game is bad because they don't have a dozen different flavors of chink" kill yourself faggot.
>>739442386>chud-Thank you, redditGPT.
>>739442386>>739441634>>739438903Notice how these NIGGERS NEVER say a counter point to how actually things are? They just whine and whine uhhhh so how is it really? Feel free to write how things actually are instead of just saying shit is wrong becasue...... I DONT LE LIKE IT. Pathetic.
>>739450072yeah the criticism basically boils down to, "its bad because it doesn't conform to my view of how the world is"
>>739438903>"Communism is just We want to control you + LGBT shit"Checks out
>>739438951>African nations are less developed and debuffed due to cultural traitsI thought normies loved realism
>>739440497>game 10 /vst/ autists care about because it can be Terra Invicta but good11 now, the bait worked
>>739441429That's been the default in all media for so long, he probably never thinks about it.
>>739438903Lets see you prove it in court, bitch
>>739438903
>>739449993I'm sorry chuddie, I'll use more politically correct terms here on right wing reddit.Nigger.
>>739438903>WEF>Davos>Conspiracy theoriesWhat do they just not exists to these people? They're not made up entities, and there's tons of videos of them talking about how you'll own nothing, how they'll spread ticks that make you allergic to meat etc.
>>739449805That's how you know you're a tourist. Actual grand strategy players were writing 50 page forum arguments and essays backed by undigitized photographed documents from Stefan Dusan's reign to argue how many Albanians lived in Brankovic Land in 1337. Play more games.
>>739454623Epstein was nothing but a conspiracy theory according to those subhumans as well, it can't be helped
This is like Case No.1 as to why Deus Ex can never be replicated in the modern day. Most lefties or even those who lean left can't handle seeing "conspiracy theories" be taken seriously in any game and attribute it to support for the said narrative. Literally all of the negative reviews of this game say that it's a good game but since they attributed the dev as a "chud" it gets a negative score. That's literally it.
>>739454623The problem is the guy is trying to sell that start date and scenario as something realistic. If it was a semi-parody exaggerated setting full of retarded ideologies it would be fun, and it's already halfway there with Moon Nazis, CIA black sites engineering a frequency that controls human minds, Roman LARPers etc, The Fire Rises became very popular because of this but this but the game refuses to commit to the bit.
>>739442386>>739442386Most of these are actually popular narratives in geopolitical-nationalist circles, especially the vassal parts.
>>739442386How are these even falsehoods?
>>739450253Underdeveloped Africa isn’t realistic, chud. Wakanda is THE most technologically advanced territory on the planet.
>>739455038There are kernels of truth to some of these thoughts, but when actually playing the game you can feel it was laid on a bit too thick
>>739454993But it is realistic, as in it takes elements of real life. But you're arguing and then conflating the realism used is politically incorrect rather than the realm of alt-history.
>>739455178That's the point of writing realistic fiction.
>>739455178>laid on a bit too thickFunny how that’s only a problem when it’s coming from a perceived right-wing dev, but when Helldivers 2’s “satire” of imperialism/fascism was more on-the-nose than Jewish sunscreen those crybabies cheered and clapped.
>it's le heckin bad because it posts Great Replacement theory>the theory that's about seeing non-European immigration continuing at a skyward pace compared to native birth rates which are plummetingwatI realized that most people who don't like this game are in fact assblasted about Europe's position in it because for at least once in their life they get to see the iota of criticism that the US gets about their nation, that most of the time they themselves actuall do as well. Laughable.
>>739438871after reading all the posts in that reviewI bet the dev will give in to their demands sooner or later, those faggots are so persistent it's insane, it seems that's all they do with the time.
>>739455501Implying this board wouldn't be phenominally asshurt about a grand strategy where gommunism was le good and superior to capitalism/fascism
>>739438903>this game is bad because i disagree with things i made up in my headInteresting take
>>739455657It only takes a critique from someone with larger influence to affect the dev personally as is usually the case. It's how left-leaning people do it. Right-leaning or "chuds" simply mock the game, blacklist it, and move on with the occassaional "grift" video to talk about how the game is bad.
>>739438871>boring, unfinished, janky, terminally brain damaged chudslop simulator with a political system based on a 12 year old that just discovered r/politicalcompassmemesI'm glad you're finally shilling on /vpol/ instead of Youtube, plan to scam a few more retards with culture wall AIDS before pulling the plug on the game in August like you announced?
>>739455718That's literally a complaint made about Vicky 2. You're a tourist.
>>739448794>3 long ass posts about some gay shit>not having a meltyAlright pal
>inb4 NYPAWe have to defend this dev at all costs.
>>739455657It would not be smart for the dev to do that reminds me of that one game with hundreds of bad reviews from people with 2 minutes play time. I barely remember what it was about or i would post a screenshot but it was retards who don't play crying about some bullshit as usual
>>739438903>WEF>far right conspiracy
>>739448794this is a textbook melt lmao
>>739454659Cool empty folders nigger, let's see the play times though
>>739455795>Vicky 2Vicky 3*
Based I will now buy your game and probably never play it
>>739455923yeah but it's an entire subreddit vs 1 devsearched the game on google and the 2nd link is a literal socialist subreddit with this faggot brigading against the devhe needs a complete blackout or they will squeeze him out
>>739455802>>739455939>actually writing my thoughts about the game>erm meltyAm I the only one in this accursed thread that actually played the game?
>>739455964>paying for Paradox gamesCheck this Constantinople
>>739440286stupid avatarfag
>>739456286So you don't have play times to show? Because showing a bunch of folders that match a "most popular grand strategy games" search isn't helping your case.
>>739438903Thank you Marx and Engels!
>>739456085Communism in Vicky 2 is good for social reforms. But Planned Economy is annoying as fuck if you aren't playing a minor. HFM had some vanguard state Totalitarian Socialism thing that was better than fascism. Command Economy also sucks in Vicky 3. Cooperative Ownership was good but got nerfed a lot last time I played.
>>739438903>>739441634>>739442386>>739448794I mean I haven't seen anyone rebuke these? There's nothing inherently wrong with making a cryptofascist 4x game if that's what your heart desires, video games are protected speech, but you shouldn't have a melty when you get called out for how shallow your writing is.
Seems to me like one side of this is completely irrelevant.
>>739456427I don't buy singleplayer games on Steam.
>>739456559That's because the brigading has been slowly boiling over for almost a year now. It's how these things usually go, especially for indie devs.
>>739456551meltie
>>739456551Nobody here has played the game to comment on it. They entered the thread because they smelled culture war slop drama.
>>739441634A retard wrote this post. Never speak again, please.
>>739456659Are you just fucking blind on all the Grant Strategy posts in this thread? The culture didn't come, it was already there with a subreddit dedicated into dogpiling on the dev that caused him to reply to almost every negative review.
>>739441660communists are neither kind nor good.they talk and think about it but when it comes time to actually do things they are cruel, childish, and spiteful.
>>739456584how convenient
>>739456551Game devs are game devs for a reason. Rare are the people with actual knowledge and neutrality on their subject that make games, they simply participate and morons decides the objective truth once they code it.
>>739438871Weren't leftists claiming everything was political/art a few years ago? Or is right wing art/games wrong?
>>739456849It isn't even as right wing as people say it is. It has right wing memes but also left-wing ones. It's just that there are certain people with a certain political persuasion that blames all their problems on a specific board that can't actually handle right wing memes being put in any game whatsoever.
>>739454623Those institutions exist, but they aren't the race communist jewish institutions of power that far-right believes they are. They're clipped out if context and contain right wing participants like Tulsi and DJT to begin with.>>739448794>>739438871>>739438903Chud worldbuilding is hilarious, I honestly hope that the dev never changes it as a commie. They're extremely uneducated and incurious about the world, so it ends up looking goofy and outdated like the Turner Diaries and Left Behind. When you blame societal issues onto minorities/people instead of systems, you're going to get a lot of predictions wrong.A lot of people scoff at academics and think that it is woke propaganda, but they're actually well-informed and teach about reality. The president of Heritage Foundation and Palantir CEO studied in liberal arts fields, and they know how to play people effectively.
>>739456849This is a game about politics. If your understanding of political science is retarded then your game ends up retarded. This game has the most stupid ideology system I've ever seen put in a videogame.
>>739456941ok and it's a silly videogame? why are you seething like a chud?
that bait is way too obvious, you need to lay it on less thick next time lol
>>739456928>communist jewish institutions of power that far-right believes they areThis isn't how the game presents them by the way. The game just presents them with enough power to actually follow-up on their ACTUAL STATED MISSION GOALS irl. If that comes off as a "far-right conspiracy" to you maybe you need to re-examine your sociopolitical lenses.
>>739456740>communists are neither kind nor good. they talk and think about it but when it comes time to actually do things they are cruel, childish, and spiteful me when i get ratio'd by tankie with a trans flag emoji on twitter for talking about skull sizes and FBI crime stats
>>739457016>far-leftist feigns a lack of understanding
>>739441660you should read up about pol pot's life sometime, fascinating stuff
>>739456928>Chud worldbuilding is hilarious, I honestly hope that the dev never changes it as a commie. They're extremely uneducated and incurious about the world, so it ends up looking goofy and outdated like the Turner Diaries and Left Behind.Do you know what's the funniest bit of worldbuilding? In 2025 East Germany, ~30% of the pops have "Prussian" culture. No, not East German to show differences from communism, fucking BASED PREUßEN in 2025. Meanwhile Austria doesn't have their own culture, it's South German.It's like outsider /pol/tard art, if you decided to do worldbuilding with sociology and history taken from meme infographics.
>>739457191That's a far right chuddie thoughbeit
>>739456928>They're clipped out if contextSorry but considering the recent and massive increase in ticks that do in fact cause meat allergies, it goes beyond coincidence or simply being unrelated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3QlfJZrFg
>>739457083I've been in those circles long enough to know that right wingers insinuate that any big institution by the jews to flood brown people into wypipo areas lmao
>>739457330>ESL moment
>>739457330Those are matters of incidence. You're confusing it for a mission statement. You haven't been long then in those "circles" then, tourist.
>>739457304Lone star ticks are spreading because their range is shifted northwards due to global warming. Maybe you agree to do something about it then?
>>739457232I bet le silly chuds are still using outdated terms like mother and female too ugh!
>>739457232you act like its retarded silly shit but in real life the allied powers literally encoded into law that the concept of prussian identity will never exist again.the people ruling the world are 100x more petty and incompetent than your chud strawman
>>739457421>It's climate change!Uh huh, despite the fact temperatures haven't changed in any meaningful way. No, the weather reporters using darker colors for 80f is not proof.
This game is sounding extremely based. I'm buying it right now
>>739457421Oh right the same global warming that was supposed to melt the ice caps and flood the world by 20 years ago
>>739457457I jackhammered your female mother with my peenus weenus last night.
>>739456928Literally everything can be corroborated by reading the book itself written by the guy himself. So far the dev isn't that far off in his portrayal.
>>739449805holy shit you were right they dropped the act and now its just "the game is bad and the dev is a chuddie!!!"
>>739457587This is correct. Prussia was legally abolished. Nobody identifies as a Prussian in 2025. That's a hilariously inaccurate addition you'd only add if your brain was pickled in outdated memes.
>>739457705The present narrative now is because of the social programs that got adopted that disaster was averted.
>>739457784What act? I will never act or pretend to be a rightoid to fit in with election tourists. Aside from the game being janky and unfinished and likely never getting completed, it is full of embarrassingly bad chud writing. And not the ironic and fun LARP kind like TNO or TFR, he genuinely thinks he's correct and gets extremely butthurt about it.
Flomgus is apolitical.
>>739443314Why do you say that? When its proven every fucking time how absolutely retarded and brain dead republicucks are.
>>739457843maybe the dev wanted to make a statement about how prussian people still exist even though they were legally forbidden from existing? and how completely fucked up that is?
>>739450126That's called criticism and having an opinion. You know, free speech? If you want an echo chamber go to Reddit.
>>739457664>>739457705Climate change is a measurable, documented reality occuring right now. Instead of looking up ragebait and memes, words from politicians or sensationalised yellow journalism, go read for the first time in your life what actual researchers say. Look up the NOAA climate report, even under (based!) corporate slave Trump, they are steadfast. If you can't understand this then there's no point discussing anything in reality.>>739457893What social programs? Americans are a raped people. Slaves to businesses. They don't even beg for public healthcare anymore because half of them are convinced they're going to be millionaires eventually. They gave up as a society.
>>739457843The Prussian identity still exists in the larger German zeitgeist even after its state has been abolished and was already eroded via the Weimar Republic. There are historians today who constitute an ‘otherness’ of the country’s East based on the idea that it had already been ‘different’ when it was Prussia. Traditions of Prussian liberalism are ignored in this picture and the focus is on perceived attributes of militarism, autocracy and general backwardness. A line is still often drawn from Prussia to Nazi Germany, an image of continuity favoured by Hitler himself, who liked to put himself in line with Prussians like Frederick the Great, Otto von Bismarck and Paul von Hindenburg.
>>739458154ok, and we will call you out for your retarded opinions. please be honest about just hating the game because the dev doesn't think exactly like you instead of trying to come up with nitpicks to try and legitimize your hatred. thank you
>>739458209>What social programs? Americans are a raped people. Slaves to businesses. They don't even beg for public healthcare anymore because half of them are convinced they're going to be millionaires eventually. They gave up as a society.This is an actual narrative that's in the ACTUAL game but nobody bats an eye on it despite being more scathing than the other depictions of nations in the game. Curious.
>>739456782Everyone pirates parajew games. You kinda have to, if you use mods.
>>739458305I'll buy the base game when it's on a deep discount, just for easy access to steam workshop due to terminal laziness.
>>739458209>Climate change is a measurable, documented reality occuring right nowYup, the earth has always gone through cycles of heating up and cooling down. This is inevitable
>>739458281Do you know what else is in the game? Israel becomes a small rump state in Tel Aviv and Haifa while an independent Palestine is united. I genuinely struggle to psychoanalyze the developer, he lets his biases and a lot of meme pop history into the game but it's all over the place. India becomes a global superpower too btw
>>739455096pretend the russian flag is a blm flag and the chicken is fried instead
>>739458209>Climate change is a measurable, documented reality occuring right now. Instead of looking up ragebait and memes, words from politicians or sensationalised yellow journalism, go read for the first time in your life what actual researchers say. Look up the NOAA climate report, even under (based!) corporate slave Trump, they are steadfast. If you can't understand this then there's no point discussing anything in reality.Explain why NOAA employees have been indicted for tampering with confidential government documents and why NYC isn't underwater right now and then I might have an interest in what the NOAA has to say about literally anything.
>>739455096I work with a 26 year old woman who identifies as a communist and unironically believes this.
>>739458441Which is my point in saying that Flomgus isn't a "right wing chud" but just wanted to make a game about geopolitical memes. But since there are specific "right wing chud" memes included, he gets branded as one despite being largely apolitical.

>>739458209>global warming is a measurable, documented reality>oops better change that to global cooling>oops better change that to climate change>oops better fudge the numbersI genuinely don't give a rat's ass about climate change. It's India and China polluting the place, but none of you ecowarriors do a damn thing about them. You just get mad at my truck and drinking straws.
>>739458209Some form of climate change is happening. The thing is, scientists had severely overestimated the impact humans had in it, at least in the "heating up" part.Thing is, our instruments only have records of only a century of the planet's billions-long life. Our point of reference is insufficient to properly estimate whether global warming is natural or artificial. Either way, Earth has been known to go through periods of extreme cold and extreme heat across its history.

>>739458625Almost all advancements in photovoltaics and battery tech have been coming out of China. They install more renewable capacity domestically and abroad than the planet combined. Being a global factory means everyone outsources their emissions to them, but regulation and enforcement about pollution has been improving. They're fine.Indians don't emit a lot of CO2 each but liter a lot, they are not a civil society. Nothing short of a generation raised by a completely different culture can save them.Drink

I wonder what percentage of the people going maximum overpol have played or even looked at the game enough to know what the fuck is actually in it?739459087Big monehy interests don't make regulations to make them more money? Actually don't answer that. Followup really needs to go to pol.
>>739459065That's not what I said.>I want to buy a steel object>the owner of the steel mill in my country moved that factory to China years ago because it's cheaper>so the pollution for its creation does not happen where I live, it happens where it is manufactured It's not that hard to understand. Shipping companies do all their shipbreaking operations in India, Bangladesh and Indonesia because they are corrupt countries with no environmental protections. Those places get polluted as fuck but it's not because Bangladeshis need to break 100 ships a week, it's because the rest of the world does. It's about saving money. Most pollution could be solved if the corporations would accept lower profits.
>>739459220the thing is all the commies labeling this as an ultranationalist chud nazi game because the dev committed the cardinal sin of not making the fascists losers who offer to eat your shit and criticizing globalism
>>739459234>It's about saving money. Most pollution could be solved if the corporations would accept lower profits.This is true about most causes of climate change, by the way. It could be solved today. The technology exists. We don't need magic fusion energy or metamaterials or anything. Energy can be solved by renewables and nuclear and transportation by rail, public transit and electric cars. Single use plastic should be heavily restricted because microplastics fuck your health anyway, and carbon offset by reforestation. We could do this today, but many people are profiteering heavily from the current system of things.

>>739459557Did you actually read any of this? Did you open the article?>old climate model made very pessimistic assumptions about the future, population will keep rising, fossil fuel use will increase, no measures will be taken to prevent global warming>the world actually put in effort, coal use is tapering off and going to decrease, renewable use is rising, there isn't going to be a population explosion>the worst of the predictions now won't happenThis is something to celebrate. It's like denying teeth cavities since you never got any, because you brushed your teeth.

>>739438903when did leftoids get buck broken and mind broken into believing only poor people are capable of "conspiring" a la mafias and labor unions, but wealthy people cannot do such a thing and therefore when wealthy people collaborate a la davos or WEF you're a chud for thinking anything is happening other than coincidences and random acts of god
>>739460446Countries outside the US exist you know. Germany went from a thousand years of decentralised feudal rule with regional identities and dialects, to one empire (and Austria), most identities smoothed into Catholic south and Protestant north. Prussia was built on the corpse of the original Prussians (Baltic), the Hohenzollerns made them a superpower, most of their distinct culture was in their nobility, but it also trickled down in the populace, and Prussians were known as stiff, Protestant and militaristic. The military elite that led Germany through WW1 and later helped Hitler rise was Prussian. So Prussia was dissolved as a legal entity by the Allies. It used to be a legal entity component of the Third Reich even, but then it got dismantled. And East Germany was in the Soviet sphere so they adopted a different culture and atheism. Today it's a dead identity.Wait until you find out how many cultures and languages existed in France before they enforced a single national education.
>>739460325Why do I bother putting effort in posts, it hasn't mattered for a decade.

>>739460867They're eating up pollution for products you consume. If you care, consume less. Buy more expensive products that come from countries with better environmental regulation. You won't, you don't care, you just want to be racist.>>739460982It's not about education really, it's about a monoculture. Back when people would be born and die within the same town or province, the next village over would speak a different dialect entirely, because they were effectively isolated. A national education that brought the same books and standards everywhere slowly unified everyone into one culture. Sometimes it was done on purpose to make administration more convenient, other times it's just a natural consequence of technology.Don't think that it's some nefarious deed to erase culture. The US states developed (slightly, let's be honest here) cultural and linguistic differences because they were settled by different ethnic groups and were isolated outside of wagons and newspapers for centuries. Today, a monoculture is already being enforced, because of the internet. That's why Armenians in California are speaking in Hispanic slang, why rural conservatives in the Midwest can raise confederate flags, or why the UK outside of London now speaks with Received Pronunciation.

>>739461282>Is Kony even still alive?Well we never heard if he died or not. Wagner mercs were actually clearing out some of their camps in Sudan recently, the LRA is effectively defunct. Kony is still hiding somewhere or he died unceremoniously.

>>739462139If used to be called the "three legged stool" is. Reaganism, the three cancerous tumours on society.>Evangelicals: banning abortion, censorship of media, enforcement of their "Christianity", supporting Israel>Hawks: anti-communism, mass surveillance, foreign wars, interventionism, supporting Israel>Businessmen: low taxes, no regulation, rolling back environment and labor laws, high immigration, probably also Israel here tooExcept back then the regular workers were wealthy enough to be able to "afford" voting based on beliefs like Evangelicalism, or interventionism, or how we need to lower dem taxes on the entrepreneurs, they run the country like a business!Today the capitalist endpoint is corporations and capital holders are richer than ever while the poorfags are struggling. There are too many rifts to keep a union like that today. The only thing keeping the GOP together is Trump, because for some reason everyone projects their own desires upon the fat orange retard, meanwhile his evil inside trading courtiers run the show. I wonder what happens when he dies. Maybe they'll preserve him as an AI.
>>739462370But god forbid he gets an actual sociologist or historian involved, utter woke nonsense.
>anon makes fun of redditfags shitting on a dev>they seethe about it and spam the thread with libshit and global warmingworst thread on the fucking board
>>739462378Trump is only popular solely because the cultural conservatives were able to collectivize a political movement despite being of different right-leaning circles, even liberal centrists were also in on it on the promise of something different. Cultural conservatives always existed but their political will was not really represented until Trump created MAGA.

what am i in for?
>>739462614You misread me. I said that he is only popular because of cultural conservatives. I'm not saying he is one but rather the cultural conservative's best shot in getting their political will exercised. This means that even if Trump is gone, cultural conservatives have already gained their seat as a strong position in the zeitgeist and that's something that the right has rarely done since the 80s with Reagan, which was more on neoliberalism.

The alt history future is a "based traditionalist Russia" in an alliance with also "based traditionalist" Poland, Hungary and Romania, to keep back the "techno-communist Islamo-EU".

You cant claim that shit and then all the rightist stereotypical shit is about how correct they were and how glorious Iron Sky nazi moonbases come from it, where as the communists shit into holes and fail at everything or whatever the fuck. You want to make a game that actually does it all well, okay that's a tall order but take the time and make each one an enjoyable process, but don't pretend that you're some sort of colorblind centrist tard and everyone else is having a meltdown when you're pulling the political equivalent of >White man architecture in 2099 is inspired by beautiful art deco skyscrapers and nazi moon bases, black man architecture at the same time is big mud huts inspired by older mud huts " >I totally did it equally see, each one got a historical inspiration!

>>739463253>Isn't the same thing true of the left, though?No, the left has proven time and time again that when their backs are against the wall they are not only perfectly willing to hold their noses and support the most repulsive ideological candidates to their actual beliefs, but also that they will shame and slander the minority of their own peers who stick to their values and continue to vote for unlikely but preferred solution. The socialist far left in the united states has voted lockstep for neoliberalism, over socialism, due to 'political realities' for long enough that this stance is old enough to post on 4chan.
>>739463995>>739464017So you're illiterate too I suppose? Not a surprise. Not my fault the faggot dev came out with >You guys are bein heckin unfair to me! I just write it all equally you see, each faction is their own protagonist etc and then shits it all over the page with massive differences between, if the anons above are correct. Go bother him, >>739464037Sure ,you can do that for one reason or another (though how well you did it and the rationale on their faction should make sense. If some other faction is claiming they were natively corrupt and underdeveloped in a vacuum that's fine because that is that other faction's - perhaps biased - perspective, but if you're supposed to make them independently viable as their own faction, then it should talk about either reasons they're in the shit like being fucked over by other factions, or how they plan to get out of it. It would never work the other way around if some dev claimed they were just impartial making all factions equal but the US has been nuked into a post-apocalyptic shithole by 'civilized' nations because they were heckin mean trumpler proto fascists, and if you play the US on their side was all "Oh woe is me, if I wasn't such a heckin trumpler fascist our nation wouldn't be so shit" nobody would possibly believe that was some sort of impartial "every faction has their own equally viable story from their point of view" developer.

>>739464605does it? no matter how much you complain, every civ title will still sell more than your ideal corrected version of this game. very likely, so will every title in the series of games like command and conquer. while you complain about perfect historical accuracy in what you want to be a 600 page larp game more people are interested in playing hide and seek in panzerblitz.
>>739464772how DARE you contradict this intellectual!did you know the wizard of oz gave him a piece of paper?
the one guy in this thread desperately reeks of "leftist intellectual who believes he has figured out the world because he read critical theory and believe systemic oppression is the root of all social problems (he has an english degree and works as a substitute teacher in a middle school btw)"
>>739464843worse, he is a retard that is bragging about paying for a phd in philosophy
>>739464843Good for a laugh I suppose
>>739464904>he doesn't know what phd stands for
>>739463916He's controversial among programmers for being probably the foremost advocate of object-oriented programming and Agile/scrum, which most programmers before and after that generation consider to be dogshit and regressive, but Redditors don't like him because he said some mildly offensive things on Twitter a few times in a space that is comparatively milquetoast.
>>739438871there are libtards that play grand strategy games? wtf? also, why do trannies always need to make everything about them? always, without fail, they make everything about themselves. I really don't think everyone would hate them so passionately if they stopped doing this to everything all the time.
>>739464994>get laughed at for paying for worthless degree>"YOU JUST DONT KNOW THIS BASIC ACRONYM!"Its a PHD.you are in a doctorate program that you spent an extra $20k per semester/quarter on in tuition fees.You are a retarded nigger PAYING people so you claim to be a doctor at knowing HOW to think.Something that a random hobo sitting in a fucking barrel became famous for.Something that was spread far and wide for FREE via books.And you are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in total for a meaningless title in the name of this FREE knowledge.

>>739465283you posted "doctor of philosophy" >>739463247
>>739464843>leftist>intellectual>believesA quick primer: the only thing leftists believe in is power. Seizing it, centralizing it, and weaponizing it. This is why they're crying about the one fucking game that doesn't specifically cater to their worldview, they can't simply ignore it because anything short of full-throated agreement with them is a declaration of war. They're not insane, for the most part, it's just that literally everything from the supposed intellectualism to social justice is window dressing for seizing power and using power for its own sake. It's also why there's no such thing as debate with leftists, because their argumentative tactics have no logical or moral consistency beyond "winning" the argument, this is why they will pretend to not understand things, argue petty semantics, and generally just act in bad faith. To quote:>Leftist discourse is just them pretending to not understand things, thus making discourse impossible.Game might be chud, might not be chud, but impartiality is still a betrayal to them and they don't actually think people should go "make their own games," they hate you, they want you dead, and your children raped. They think it's funny.
>>739465283>maybe the nyc plumber is mad at PVC for some reasonI love PVC because it makes my job easier, but I hate it aesthetically and try to only use it in non-visable areas like under a sink that's behind a vanity. In NYC, lack of space to work or fit pipes is a real issue, as well as dealing with with pipes that have been untouched since the place was built a hundred years ago. It's very easy to wreck the whole system when you're just trying to change one leaky part.>doctor of philosophy in chemistryWait a second, that's what you meant ? Not that you got a doctorate in the field of philosophy, but that you got a PhD in chemistry, an actual useful field that might still have jobs that haven't been eaten by AI?Good luck, my dad had a degree in Chemistry too, and fell into teaching and later plumbing during the Carter recession because the few chemistry jobs still available didn't pay enough to survive on.
>>739465625
>>739465712>>739465404"phd" means "doctor of philosophy." every single phd is a doctor of philosophy.
>>739465861Yeah, I know that, but I saw PhD [ED] and what else am I supposed to think, other than philosopher or teacher?
>>739465903it means "doctor of philosophy [educator]" since I teach classes
>>739465975>I teach classes
>>739460713they've been effectively propagandized into thinking the pro-status-quo billionaires and federal agents are somehow on their side against their political "enemies" (the other side has also been trained to think this way)if you make under $100m USD per year (after tax) you have no control over anything and have literally zero reason to blame anything that is happening on everyone else in the same category (read: 99.999% of the world population)voting is not real in any country, whatever policies "your" guy was given the go-ahead by his masters to sign off on would have also been signed off on by the other guy

>>739465368I don't remember exactly, but I think it was just the typical mid 2010's occurrence of conservaboomers being oblivious on social media to the newly political correct. He's not a provocateur or anything. I don't know any real people who care about his politics, but for some reason on the internet there's always some loremaster there to tell you whose on what side even when that information doesn't matter. Bit of a misplay by the Factorio dev to not just ignore it though. You never argue with your audience directly, period.

Show of hands.

So we have people with Iqs near 50 attemting to get degrees, and running up their student loan tabs uselessly, and people with IQs literally in the mental retardation range that have successfully gotten masters degress.

>>739470548I played it a while back when someone made a thread on /vg/. The economy system was kind of interesting to figure out but hilariously easy to break once you do and then basically becomes an idle/clicker game. I was playing iceland with the intent of abandoning earth and fucking off to the asteroid belt ASAP and ended up winning an economic victory because my economic power was enough to rival the commies and nazis collectively despite being basically the only democratic country left. Not sure how much things have been changed since then though maybe it's had some overhauls.Not sure why there's so much arguing over the nations/map, seemed like a shitpost setting from the start so I never took that too seriously.

>>739438903>>739438951Why would you waste your time on reading the opinions of communists though?All systems have their pros and cons, but communism is a particularly bad one. It just ignores that human nature works via incentives, and it also ignores that communism always led to mass poverty.Anyone who unironically pushes it belongs to the most retarded fucks you could possibly find in the human gene pool, or, alternatively, the most evil fucks if they know exactly how it ends but see themselves as sitting on top of the shitpile exploiting the rest.
>>739443314>EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL CHUD EVERYTHING SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENTthat was during a time when any opinion that differed from theirs was simply censored away or banned. they wanted you to take a stance because there was only one stance you could take without consequence (in their bubbles at least), they just wanted you to bend the knee and pay lip service to their agenda.they never wanted you to hold an actual opinion, kek.
>>739463253>Isn't the same thing true of the left, though?yes, they will purity spiral themselves into extinction.there are 5 left wing parties in my nation's parliament and only one right wing party.the left splits itself over even the tiniest disagreements.

>>739483540in their mind communists have a solution for this though: mass killing of anyone who isn't incentivized enough and not a true believer
>>739438903>immediately jumps into the CIA blame gameYes, the CIA is responsible for ever shortcoming of communism, you know, the same guys that tried to put a microphone in a cat to spy on people, couldn't invade Cuba, were stopped by customs officials from shipping guns to South America, and had to rely on a failed highschool teacher and multiple times convicted pedophile to do their international arms deals for them.Clearly, it wasn't because the system is inherently inefficient and prone to corruption, but because the CIA secretly ruined everything all the time.

Dev shouldn't have said anything and let the retarded ledditors. You can't convince the purity testers that they're the bad guys
>>739467358>You never argue with your audience directly, period.When you have a game that popular that you're set for life and you're pseudo-anonymous, why not? Look how it worked out for Notch.
I feel like there's a way to frame the game as "it's just how I see it" or "it's a work of fiction after all" without going full retard and confronting these freaks because the only scenario that leads to is the dev getting doxxed and a full blown harassment campaignI don't mind chuddy games, especially in this genre, because it needs some variety regardless you like or not
>>739490890I dont think Notch argued a lot before he was a millionaire
>>739458571my takeaway as well.if you can’t break free of the most shallow direction paradigm you really shouldn’t consider yourself knowledgable about philosophy or politics.Typing thousands of words you learned from some twitch stream is not a substitute for turning off your social media and reading a lot and thinking for yourself about what you read.
>>739468381The left did entryism in acadima and corporate HR. The right did entryism into the military and the judiciary.
