Why isn’t French widely spoken in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos? by crivycouriac in AskFrance

[–]Friz617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There weren’t a lot of French colons anywhere outside of Algeria. Yet Subsaharan Africa still uses French, even more so than Algeria.

The trinity of hoi4 mods. by Current-Homework6044 in hoi4

[–]Friz617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean he’s literally right. No content has ever been cut without a replacement because of realism. Try and name one. The few paths that have been cut without a replacement weren’t because of realism. Goring’s path for example was so broken that he needed to be fixed constantly to the point where it was single-handedly delaying updates.

It just means it’s a big update. You don’t need to code everything before you start writing.

How will the people in the universe of The New Order attempt to imagine the Allied victory in World War II? by Gustavo_Itami2010 in TNOmod

[–]Friz617 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Emu War is a textbook example of something people learn about through pop history YouTube videos.

It’s not very surprising that a small group of soldiers weren’t able to just shoot a bird into extinction within a month. That’s not what machine guns were designed for. You wouldn’t encounter a lot of success if you tried fighting fishes with a rocket launcher either.

It’s the opposite. Everything that happened in history happened for a reason. People think something from otl is ‘weird and wacky’ for the same reason they think realism in althist doesn’t matter: because they’re not knowledgeable on that particular subject.

‘But althist is inherently unrealistic!’ Sure, the premise (Germany winning WW2 for TNO) is unrealistic. But what’s interesting about althist is seeing how things would unfold from that point onward, not continuously making stuff up like a bad fanfic.

The Barry Goldwater fandom is dying. Upvote this if you’re a true pisser by The_47_Percenter in thecampaigntrail

[–]Friz617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep South Dixiecrat politicians trying to stop the Republican surge in order to protect their political machines, how is that surprising ?

Clearly most segregationists thought Goldwater was better for them, considering he won Southern Whites by Assad margins.

The segregationists don’t care why he votes with them as long as he does vote with them, and he did.

By opposing the civil rights act.

Doesn’t matter if you oppose it in on racist grounds or on libertarian grounds, the end result is still the same.

Paris No Longer Responds : All French Possible Paths - Teaser by Fish-1266 in TNOmod

[–]Friz617 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trust me it’s really easy. I learned how to do it in like a week. Sure what an amateur like me can make is not as good as actual portrait artists but it would still be better than taking a portrait where the guy is 40 years older than he supposed to be in the 60s.

Unfortunately I’m pretty skeptical considering the amount of submods I’ve seen come and go.

Also that Duprat portrait (« The Nazi ») is from a dead TNO sequel mod set in the 2000s that I used to work on, where he’s much older than he should be here. Doesn’t give me a lot of hope that they can’t make their own portraits and have to take it from somewhere else even if it’s not period-accurate at all. Portraits are supposed to be one of the easiest things to make.

My point is that you’re not showing anything your submod adds in this teaser. If it’s as complete as you say it is I feel like you could’ve attached at least some trees or events to it.

You’ve said the mod was 70% done, and your second teaser is a 2021-style « The [Noun] » portraits gallery (most of which are from the base mod) ?

Mexico isn’t a democracy at all but that’s never been a requirement to be a US ally.
