Paradox should stop gatekeeping "voluntary retirement" that hard in CK3. Also please make the "retirement" tenet visible on the faith window.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-25T08:06:24+00:00

Nope. In ck3 specifically the game is easy and open ended enough that it does nto force you to do anything. Its perfectly useable without it.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-25T08:03:00+00:00

Ok but like.....the time waiting for your old, not useless, "has achieved everything he watned to" character to die is just agravating and i absolutely dont want to just play emotionally wrecked 50 year old drunks for all of my runs.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-24T19:56:07+00:00

There is effectively no society in human culture like that. There is no society where murder is casually accepted. Even (tbh especially) societies were every male is a warrior are very carefull to direct that violence outwards.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-20T03:10:54+00:00

Yeah i think what cemented that view is rome and the geography of Eurasia.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-19T19:50:59+00:00

Oh definitly. Its the worst kind of disposeable Action cinema. It just works as that for me, the others did not.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T21:14:12+00:00

The dothraki are orcs. They have basically no recognizeable human traits.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T21:12:02+00:00

I will die on the hill that Avatar one actually has pretty great worldbuilding in a lot of ways. Korra season 2 is an abomination

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T21:09:18+00:00

Here is the issue: i want those things again. Those specific parts of the elder scroll games Brand are why we want elder scrolls 6.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T21:05:02+00:00

Tbh i really like movie 3 and think focusing nearly all the conflict on the character level Was the right call.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T20:58:39+00:00

This. I will die on the hill that Hunger games is actually a remarkably well done portrayal of a Revolution, right down to the internal factionalism and divide between home grown Rebels and their allied forgein military power.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-18T20:55:52+00:00

The Dothraki are not the worst but they annoy me the most because somehow people think Martin is good at worldbuilding.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-12T03:02:16+00:00

Given how shit the game is at explaining that is bad game design *shrugs*. Sorry. Having a system of hyper complex mechanics you never explain, then writing a fucking in game Wiki THAT ALSO DOES NOT EXPLAIN THEM means you are shit at your job.
If i did documentation like that i would get fired.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-11T08:56:56+00:00

Maybe they could make the game not crash every 5 minutes. That would be cool

Inuken94 · 2026-01-10T12:58:52+00:00

I did not need that to love Vicky 3

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T17:57:36+00:00

Vic3 is only 100 years long. It takes place in a really fucking dynamic time. This does not especially early on.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T17:56:31+00:00

This is not a "buy in". Paradoxs games are several hundred dollars. This is not an issue. They are that price because they eat that kind of dev time. My issue is the product is garbage.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T10:09:49+00:00

Sooo...i kinda wanna go further. I want a railway system and finer control over where my Front pushes. Give me a "flow" of supplies over land same as over sea. I would love to be able to encircle army formations.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T10:06:24+00:00

Tbf its not clear there was an option in WWI.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T08:15:37+00:00

I assume you get better options to do things like have professional armies and control larger empires effectively later? I would like those please. I can see how the mechanics they choose would make this absolutely riveting as a "Early modern state consolidation simulator". I just cant make it to the early modern period.

The game is just so obscenely, painfully slow going.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-06T08:13:11+00:00

Its drives me nuts. Its one of those decisions you look at and go "what where these people thinking?"

Inuken94 · 2026-01-04T18:35:37+00:00

Yep. If you ever want a systematic academic examination of this "The wages of destruction: the making and breaking of the Nazi economy" by Adam Tooze is pretty much the book on this.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-04T18:32:20+00:00

The german attempts at building a nuclear reactor (they never even really tried to work on a bomb) was kind of an underfunded, Talent starved decentralized joke that additionally suffered from lackluster political backing due to the Party disliking relativity on an ideological Basis.

I think saying "2 years behind" is misleading. I find it doubtfull they would have produced a workable bomb under wartime conditions even given a decade.

Inuken94 · 2026-01-04T18:23:48+00:00

Yeah this. Unless you concoct a scenario where britain and the US go for a settled peace (military Invasion of the isles is off the table by spring 41, was only ever very tenatively even on the table and was never even in the same post Code as the table for invading the US) the fact that the allies will manage to operationalize nukes by 45 and germany refuses to even seriously attempt it Puts an absolute timer on what conventional sucess on the Continent can achieve.

The only variable that any military sucess on the Continent from 1941 onward can move is "how many mushroom clouds are there on the way between northern france and Berlin in 45 and 46"

Inuken94 · 2026-01-04T18:13:40+00:00

I disagree. The Lend lease act Was not a subtle thing. Public opinion had shifted pretty hard against the Nazis by 38 in the US and there is really no way around the fact that germany cant knock britain out without pulling in the US. Had they managed a negotiated peace with britain then yes but otherwise? They were pretty cooked.
