It's really weird.
Name one thing she said that sounds like bullshit, considering she’s from a country that literally shoots you if you try to escape. that soldier that got away was full of bullet holes and parasites, anyone attempting to flee are tortured when they’re caught, and they worship Kim Jong Un like he’s a god. Which he claims he is.
Wow, that’s so hard to believe. People push trains that get stuck and people freeze in the winter with no heat.

Every single fricking thing she has said about N Korea has happened in a variety of third world shitholes, and she’s saying it happened in a country that you’re not allowed to leave, that worships a god emperor, that doesn’t have access to the internet, and has only allowed western film crews to enter a few times, under supervision. How is that remotely hard to believe?

So they so hungry they were stripping the land of grass and bugs, but still nourished enough to push train carts on the daily. Use your head, anon and think about the shit she's saying.
That is not that unrealistic. I dont think you guys understand how good life is in first world countries. I remember in south america the road in the mountains were makeshift at best. Imagine me telling you that about my childhood, how you could look on the window and just see down the edge inside the bus, you think its bullshit and yet it happens.
It’s just funny that someone found a grift lying and making propaganda about one of the most comically evil countries in the world
Especially when the country itself lies and propagandizes heavily
Yeah, she's shilling for herself. The "defector" circuit is extremely lucrative. Whenever you see a "defector" giving some big, publicized talk, you can bet that they were paid a hefty fee by the feds, an extremely wealthy patron or a corporate entity.
She's a millionaire from going on talk shows and telling outrage porn about her relatives being killed, people executed in public and dumped into rivers, her epic survival story about climbing a mountain and eating nothing for several days to avoid authorities during her escape. Details of her stories change frequently as well from interview to interview. Notwithstanding being a grifter her stories were heavily weaponized as propaganda to brainwash people about life in North Korea.

I don't see it as seething against her for a lot of people. She got out of a country that is pretty fricking destitute and hopeless by grifting gullible morons, I respect the hustle. The only people I'm seething about in this scenario are the credulous fricking mongoloids that buy her stories. It's an indictment against westerners as a whole that so many drooling trogs don't possess any kind of critical thinking as long as you say it's North Korea.
Its pretty obvious. Anybody who says "I respect the hustle" is a Black person through and through. Black folk don't like to shame the people that lie and cheat their fellow man because they know they'd do the same thing and are just salty they didn't think to do it first. Never trust someone that says they respect the hustle.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You wouldn't believe that there is no ice cream in Northern Ireland and they execute people found watching Irish TV unless there was a significant amount of evidence. You certainly wouldn't believe it if all the "evidence" was just some "Northern Irish defector" being given tours sponsored by the IRA.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. This is something most people can agree with unless it has something to do with the countries currently being targeted by the imperialist powers for their big Two Minutes Hate of the week, especially North Korea. You tell people anything. You can tell them that Kim Jong Un eats babies, shoots people for farting in his presence and forces the North Koreans to worship him as a living god with superpowers with no evidence except the "testimony" of one butthole getting paid 50 grand by the South Korean government for "good information," and a CIA propaganda outlet that repeated them.

But you can only continue playing if your heir is of your dynasty. If someone else dynasty gets all your titles you get a game over.
You're not supposed to really go to war that often. The diplomatic play system actually is a good addition considering the time period had several near wars where one side backed down (Morocco, Fashoda Incident, French intervention in Mexico etc)
Diploplays are just the crisis system of V2 but expanded really, i personally don't care about the change they did to warfare, only brainlets would play grand strategy games to move units around, better to leave that to braindead games like Starcraft and the like.

>actual blizzdrones playing broodwar
also if your gave is PvE it's a casual shitter game, that is just a fact.
Stellaris is annoying. They had a really great system but completely overhauled whatever they had at some point to the point where the game plays completely differently now. A lot of the features for me don’t even seem to work now, like the automatic management of systems, planets, etc.
Stellaris proves why a grand strategy developer making 4X games is a bad idea, they think overfilling the game with events is good content, it just makes the game annoying to slog through. I also think it looks, sounds and overall feels very generic, so yeah like most PC games released in the modern times
>actual blizzdrones playing broodwar
also if your gave is PvE it's a casual shitter game, that is just a fact.
I do, they are called shmups, multiplayer RTS are dead/replaced by MOBAs for a reason, all those old farts that were playing them got arthritis in their hands and can't spam clicks anymore
I just like straight forward strategy games like good old 4Xs or RTSs, I learnt how to play eu4 and hoi4 and I just got bored watching maps
Its the opposite for me, i love gsg but i dislike 4X and RTS for different reasons, i think 4X are just gsg simplified and tend to snowball in favor of the player too much, RTS are just too simplistic period, i only like RTS when they are more sim-like, stuff like Graviteam Tactics or Call to Arms.
The new economy system for Stellaris could have been good if it was designed to push you into trade or war with other empires. Instead of giving every empire an infinite supply of resources in the galactic market they should have to go find other empires with a surplus of the resource they need and trade for it. Or declare war for planets that are rich in something, because they're actually valuable. Synthetic advanced materials should also either not be available or much more expensive, and instead tech should make extracting natural nodes more effective over time so that some empires can actually have a significant portion of galactic gas or other materials.
This still wouldn't fix ship combat being spectacle with little substance, but at least there would be an organic reason why empires would get along or feud.

Endless space 2 already did this over half a decade ago. There's an entire faction designed around it. >This still wouldn't fix ship combat being spectacle with little substance
They fixed this too.

how do you get filtered by ES2 of all things, the AI is a push over
They're pretendo games, you don't interact that much, your choices barely matter, the games are needlesly complex to a super simple binary outcome in the end. They're for pretending youre doing something
Verifiably false, you can get whatever you want as long as you are loyal to the regime which is basically no different from other authoritarian countries like China/Turkey/Russia/Saudi Arabia etc. All of these rumors come from the 1990s famine times which happened because the Soviet Union collapsed. Her claims don't even make any sense when you consider how an authoritarian state works.
What benefit to an authoritarian state is there if people are shot for watching a Marvel movie or denied ice cream, as long as they are loyal citizens? Do you think Russia or China ACTUALLY give a shit if you listen to Radio Free Europe/Asia?
you're either arguing with a moron who thinks relatively less known fascist countries are based because he has no personality and real friends or you're being very obviously trolled, stop inquiring.
its likely a scenario like torrenting in the west where the government will periodically enforce the law to set an example but it doesn't change the fact that watching foreign media is illegal and people have been executed because of it.
I look forward to you posting absolutely 0 sources for your claims, disingenuous israelite that you are.
>every country is like mine and if it isn't that country isn't real, stop lying to me about your country foreigner

I haven't found a single one of these posts funny and am convinced people only ever make them as an excuse to post this one pic where you can clearly see the outline of her bra
If you can read a manual than you can learn how to play a game, grand strategy games are very easy compared to some other genres like vehicle milsims
>people play paradox games that arent hearts of iron >they play single player
I just dont get it. If you want to RP some dumb bullshit with friends in CK or stellaris or something, sure fine, have fun. But what the frick are you doing in single player in these games. At least play the one paradox game that has micro in it so you're not just staring waiting to see if rng events dick you over.
Because playing multiplayer is asking for someone to ruin your games, anything strategic in multiplayer is a guaranteed series of ragequits and b***hing, don't even try to deny it. Also imagine having to wait for others to do stuff and not playing at your own speed
Grand strategy is really boring if you don't know what's going on. They also take a long time to learn.
You can pick up the new Zelda (TM) for the Nintendo Switch (R)(TM)(C) and know how to play in 15 seconds. I have 1444+ hours in EU4 and I still forget about some things half the time and just completely ignore them. Doesn't stop me from world conquest multiple times.
Oh and i also forgot that Hearts of Iron fricking sucks, its a grand strategy that tries to be a wargame and fails at both, modders just use it to make visual novels for a reason.
are there grand strategy games using non-historical settings, as in made up worlds/countries/etc? i don't like games like these because when you deviate enough from the historic path the game starts feeling hollow to me
Mods. Anbennar for EU4 if you're into fantasy, Divergence of Darkness for Vicky2 if you want more alt-history, there was also a warcraft mod for ck2 don't know if it got ported to the sequel. Personally, I would love a proper game set in a fantasy world, flat earth atop turtle kind of fantasy.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I have trouble getting into a game where it takes a while for me to actually get into the meat of things. I need some kind of return on investment fairly early otherwise I find myself not even wanting to start playing.
Yes I have ADHD, yes I'm a zoomer.
>there are people who believe burger propaganda about North Korea they same way they believed about propaganda about Iraq or Syria
Normies are moronic, they eat this shit up.
I played EU4 for about 150 hours and I felt that 0 minutes were spent on real strategy. The game keeps you busy with a lot of decisions but strategically, at least for me, it is extremely poor.
Like, a 10 minute backgammon match makes me make more strategic decisions than 150 hours of Europa Universalis IV.
Because simply describing a slightly worse totalitarian state is not interesting. Everyone already knows what to expect from a dictatorship. So you have to spice it up to get attention and NK is so insular you can get away with lies that wouldn't work anywhere else.
Because there are actually a lot of escapees from North Koreans. There's a reason she's over in the States grifting, instead of back in South Korea, because over there they know she's full of shit/exaggerating. While in the states she's a rare novelty.
This meme is literally just North Korea shills trying to discredit someone who escaped from them.
Troons like it because the idea of anyone but white people being the bad guys gets them upset.
>Umm sweety, living in North Korea was terrible! They wouldn't let us poison our minds with capeshit and porn and satanic music made by pedophiles. What do you mean the party won't let me make a film about children doing drugs and having sex, I'M GOING TO AMERICA! NOOOO DON'T SHOOT ME PLEASE!
>if it isn't a woke capeshit fat-fest chugging corn syrup and söy then it must be heaven on earth, no in-between or third-world states are even remotely possible
Shit like this makes me kinda glad the Internet still mocks contrarian autism sometimes.
I am not American, but I get filtered by grand strategy games. I just like seeing my colours fill the map and never really know what I'm doing. Still haven't figured out how to not die immediately to the first
actively hostile enemy in Stellaris yet.
Hey man I can't play FPSes or anything requiring functional reaction time because of nerve-rot. It's okay.
I mean frick at this point just cheat or something anon if you want to just experience the game's very entertaining end of grinding to a fricking halt speed wise
I don't like cheating or using OP mods in singleplayer games. Not on principle, it just always makes me lose interest immediately. I only have a problem understanding the base mechanics and gameplay loop of these types of games, sort of a fundamental issue I'll only ever be able to circumvent rather than solve. Its still fun to play.
There's an account of shit from the guy who worked with an animation studio in NK when things were briefly thawing in the early 2000s if anyone is vaguely interested in an insight that isn't propaganda (mostly because its fricking boring)
Can't remember his name. I actually think I read a PDF of it on fricking /b/ way back.
I know people who have been to North Korea unsupervised and they told me it's not half as bad as people say, they're basically stuck in the 60's Soviet Union and most of their issues are caused by the total embargo on them by the US.
I went too, it was great. Had no trouble getting in, was able to use the internet with no restrictions, watch whatever I wanted on the TV, I was allowed to say whatever I wanted about Kim Jong Un, and allowed to leave freely whenever I wanted. North Korea is truly a superior country.
>China
Now there’s a country! Just like glorious North Korea, they have no internet restrictions, can say whatever they want about their leader, and require zero permission to leave their country! Truly a magical place to live.
I have literally fricked Kim Jong Sung on an all-access fearless leaderpass while everyone in Korea (there is no south, its made up by Japan perfidy) went into a paroxysm of orgasmic joy for my passing.
Honestly I never got far with their games aside from Battletech which is probably the best strategy game in years. TW:Warhammer and Mount&Blade are the only things that I really play a lot that kinda resembles Paradox.
paradox fans have the most severe case of dunning kruger ever documented and they actively seek out morons so they can pretend to superior. there is no strategy game more simple than a paradox game, even civ 6 is more complicated and respectable. no american is getting filtered to this by the way because only hispanics and yuropoors still play these shitty games.
This is Ganker are you suggesting someone suffers worse than dunning Krueger than here? I can name dozens of anonymous who have masters degrees in being morons who only know just enough to be stupid heh. We're basically the best at taking surface knowledge and spreading it inch thin.
In fact go on, ask me anything anon I'll be able to google it on wikipedia and rephrase the answer. Literally anything. We can't be beat :^)
you can learn any paradox game in an hour to the point of completely breaking it and these morons act like the games are the most complex thing ever. paradox games are the call of duty of strategy and normalgays only think they are hard because paradox fans are too stupid to explain the games. show me a paradox moron trying to play shadow empire or war in the east 2, you literally can't. they are too stupid to even play strategic command. the most entry level REAL ADULT STRATEGY GAME is several dimensions removed from the tiny brained paradox gay's comprehension. man this shit is depressing. i wouldnt care but paradox is so bad now there is not even any other excuse for playing the games other than being too stupid to play anything else. if you play their games, to me, that is admitting you are a moron who doesnt want to learn.

Reminder that the "Dunning-Krueger effect" is not what people think, which makes those who use the term fit the very accusation they are making about others.
The "effect" is just the idea that the more people really know about a subject, the less they overestimate their actual ability. That's basically it, and by the way even that conclusion is not fully accepted.
On the Internet people use the term meaning "dumb people think they know everything about a subject they don't understand", which besides not being a valid conclusion about the guys' study, ends up putting the people who use the term this way in the same situation, since they think they know what a study means when they are completely wrong.
I just recently got into Hoi4 just to play the Fallout mod. And the start was not pretty, I can easily see it filter most anons, let alone normies.

It's the modernization disease. I prefer AoW4 mechanically but the campaign left a lot to be desired. Art isn't the only issue. > make your own race thing seems fun
Making your own race and then transforming them into abominations as the game progresses is ridiculously fun.
because they suck. almost every RTS game I've played is more fun and engaging than grand strategy map painters with 1000 sub systems that just amount to +10% buffs to this or that stat

Because mericans don't have the mental capacity to play strategy games. They only play pew pew shooters. No need to think with shooters, just point and shoot.
Leave thinking to koreans so they can play starcraft.
CK2 is fun, I like collecting the bloodlines, I remember starting as a literal who nobody in francia to get the bloodline of the last merohingi guy and later getting the Karling blood. Next up is the blood of Attila. The good thing is I also get randomly elected emperor of the HRE.

They have no history, ironically their favourite Paradox game is Stellaris
Why do people hate this so much vs 2, this actually has an economy system that works

Because its not an historical game
You're not supposed to really go to war that often. The diplomatic play system actually is a good addition considering the time period had several near wars where one side backed down (Morocco, Fashoda Incident, French intervention in Mexico etc)

Even if Vic3's economics can have a lot of problems, it doesn't just suddenly break in the middle of the game for everyone except the Great Powers.
People who brag about Victoria 2 being so good have never dealt with China Westernizing
I think V3 economics are better than V2 but as i said before its the way that goods work that is weird and suboptimal.
You're living in their history
why is that ironic?
Stellaris is annoying. They had a really great system but completely overhauled whatever they had at some point to the point where the game plays completely differently now. A lot of the features for me don’t even seem to work now, like the automatic management of systems, planets, etc.
Stellaris proves why a grand strategy developer making 4X games is a bad idea, they think overfilling the game with events is good content, it just makes the game annoying to slog through. I also think it looks, sounds and overall feels very generic, so yeah like most PC games released in the modern times
No one cares tryhard, grow up
>tryhard
seething normalgay
maybe one day you can play a game that takes actual skill
I do, they are called shmups, multiplayer RTS are dead/replaced by MOBAs for a reason, all those old farts that were playing them got arthritis in their hands and can't spam clicks anymore
Its the opposite for me, i love gsg but i dislike 4X and RTS for different reasons, i think 4X are just gsg simplified and tend to snowball in favor of the player too much, RTS are just too simplistic period, i only like RTS when they are more sim-like, stuff like Graviteam Tactics or Call to Arms.
>I do, they are called shmups
>more pve casual shit
ahahahaha
The new economy system for Stellaris could have been good if it was designed to push you into trade or war with other empires. Instead of giving every empire an infinite supply of resources in the galactic market they should have to go find other empires with a surplus of the resource they need and trade for it. Or declare war for planets that are rich in something, because they're actually valuable. Synthetic advanced materials should also either not be available or much more expensive, and instead tech should make extracting natural nodes more effective over time so that some empires can actually have a significant portion of galactic gas or other materials.
This still wouldn't fix ship combat being spectacle with little substance, but at least there would be an organic reason why empires would get along or feud.

Endless space 2 already did this over half a decade ago. There's an entire faction designed around it.
>This still wouldn't fix ship combat being spectacle with little substance
They fixed this too.
Why would you even play stellaris?
Not sure honestly, I tried it with some friends and none of us wanted to play a second session. My couple solo games all lost steam after the borders were set as well.
>My couple solo games all lost steam after the borders were set as well.
how do you get filtered by ES2 of all things, the AI is a push over
I meant Stellaris, I've never tried ES2.
>entire game is literally just a UI
SHIT
Give it a rest already christ.
"Grand Strategy" are the visual novels of autists
They're pretendo games, you don't interact that much, your choices barely matter, the games are needlesly complex to a super simple binary outcome in the end. They're for pretending youre doing something
Sounds like real life
>tfw that fat frick shiba is dead now
grand strategy games are the eve online equivalent of running a bot.

Americans avoiding playing paradox garbage actually makes them the smart ones, only the biggest suckers and losers would play shit like that.
Nodrics are the dumbest shits I've ever seen
I just like straight forward strategy games like good old 4Xs or RTSs, I learnt how to play eu4 and hoi4 and I just got bored watching maps
This b***h says ice cream doesn't exist in North Korea and they execute you for watching kdramas
yeah thats no more insane than the average lolocaust claim
Its funny that those are both completely believable statements
Verifiably false, you can get whatever you want as long as you are loyal to the regime which is basically no different from other authoritarian countries like China/Turkey/Russia/Saudi Arabia etc. All of these rumors come from the 1990s famine times which happened because the Soviet Union collapsed. Her claims don't even make any sense when you consider how an authoritarian state works.
>Verifiably false
By what exactly? Whatever information nk lets through?
What benefit to an authoritarian state is there if people are shot for watching a Marvel movie or denied ice cream, as long as they are loyal citizens? Do you think Russia or China ACTUALLY give a shit if you listen to Radio Free Europe/Asia?

>fascist
>when you consider how an authoritarian state works
NK doesn't make sense in the slightest. Government members are executed for being tired.
verifiably true
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/north-korea-executes-2-boys-for-watching-american-south-korean-movies-report-3582918
its likely a scenario like torrenting in the west where the government will periodically enforce the law to set an example but it doesn't change the fact that watching foreign media is illegal and people have been executed because of it.
I look forward to you posting absolutely 0 sources for your claims, disingenuous israelite that you are.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You wouldn't believe that there is no ice cream in Northern Ireland and they execute people found watching Irish TV unless there was a significant amount of evidence. You certainly wouldn't believe it if all the "evidence" was just some "Northern Irish defector" being given tours sponsored by the IRA.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. This is something most people can agree with unless it has something to do with the countries currently being targeted by the imperialist powers for their big Two Minutes Hate of the week, especially North Korea. You tell people anything. You can tell them that Kim Jong Un eats babies, shoots people for farting in his presence and forces the North Koreans to worship him as a living god with superpowers with no evidence except the "testimony" of one butthole getting paid 50 grand by the South Korean government for "good information," and a CIA propaganda outlet that repeated them.
>Kim Jong Un eats babies, shoots people for farting in his presence and forces the North Koreans to worship him as a living god
bades
>every country is like mine and if it isn't that country isn't real, stop lying to me about your country foreigner
both of those are actually true tho
Civilization basically started the genre and it's american.
Not even the same genre, gsg are just boardgames that take place on a map, they made those since early 80s way before Civ was even a thing
Grand strategy means a game that encompasses multiple wars and the times of peace in between.
4X is literally the same damn thing.
I haven't found a single one of these posts funny and am convinced people only ever make them as an excuse to post this one pic where you can clearly see the outline of her bra

that's hot innit
I still don’t understand how to play EU4. Its way too complicated. I feel like Id only learn it if there was a college professor teaching me
If you can read a manual than you can learn how to play a game, grand strategy games are very easy compared to some other genres like vehicle milsims
Because playing multiplayer is asking for someone to ruin your games, anything strategic in multiplayer is a guaranteed series of ragequits and b***hing, don't even try to deny it. Also imagine having to wait for others to do stuff and not playing at your own speed
The learning part is the most fun though
Oh and i also forgot that Hearts of Iron fricking sucks, its a grand strategy that tries to be a wargame and fails at both, modders just use it to make visual novels for a reason.
are there grand strategy games using non-historical settings, as in made up worlds/countries/etc? i don't like games like these because when you deviate enough from the historic path the game starts feeling hollow to me
Mods. Anbennar for EU4 if you're into fantasy, Divergence of Darkness for Vicky2 if you want more alt-history, there was also a warcraft mod for ck2 don't know if it got ported to the sequel. Personally, I would love a proper game set in a fantasy world, flat earth atop turtle kind of fantasy.
same, i'm surprised there's not more grand strategies with settings like warhammer or whatever
dumb chink
>people play paradox games that arent hearts of iron
>they play single player
I just dont get it. If you want to RP some dumb bullshit with friends in CK or stellaris or something, sure fine, have fun. But what the frick are you doing in single player in these games. At least play the one paradox game that has micro in it so you're not just staring waiting to see if rng events dick you over.
>play action games on the hardest difficulty
>have to play strategy games on the easiest or I get filtered
Grand strategy is really boring if you don't know what's going on. They also take a long time to learn.
You can pick up the new Zelda (TM) for the Nintendo Switch (R)(TM)(C) and know how to play in 15 seconds. I have 1444+ hours in EU4 and I still forget about some things half the time and just completely ignore them. Doesn't stop me from world conquest multiple times.
She has a hairy clit
Stellaris sucks
the only good Paradox games are Vicky 2 and EU4
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I have trouble getting into a game where it takes a while for me to actually get into the meat of things. I need some kind of return on investment fairly early otherwise I find myself not even wanting to start playing.
Yes I have ADHD, yes I'm a zoomer.
>there are people who believe burger propaganda about North Korea they same way they believed about propaganda about Iraq or Syria
Normies are moronic, they eat this shit up.
Go to bed Kim.
Supreme Leader would never come to a shitty site like this you moron.
Holy frick she's so fine... I would tear her apart
The only paradox game worth playing is Darkest Hour and Victoria (not 3)
>escape NK

She's right you know.
Paradox got buttblasted because she called them out.
>Euros seethed so hard that they had to make this edit

well there's your answer
I love this korean prostitute, her plastic fake face and giant balloon breasts.
how are her boobs that big if she was starved her entire childhood and early adulthood?
they're fake
Who fricking cares?
she was in sex slavery for a while?
those chinks fricked her up
Why does she look like the sega dev who got fired for making fun of chigyus?
what's wrong with her FAAAACE
Poor oppressed baby ;_;

poasting in a baste thread
Because they have low war experience.
I played EU4 for about 150 hours and I felt that 0 minutes were spent on real strategy. The game keeps you busy with a lot of decisions but strategically, at least for me, it is extremely poor.
Like, a 10 minute backgammon match makes me make more strategic decisions than 150 hours of Europa Universalis IV.
What's the point of making shit up about North Korea? Even if you tell the truth it's bad enough I'd think. She gives major falun gong vibes.
Because simply describing a slightly worse totalitarian state is not interesting. Everyone already knows what to expect from a dictatorship. So you have to spice it up to get attention and NK is so insular you can get away with lies that wouldn't work anywhere else.
Because there are actually a lot of escapees from North Koreans. There's a reason she's over in the States grifting, instead of back in South Korea, because over there they know she's full of shit/exaggerating. While in the states she's a rare novelty.
This meme is literally just North Korea shills trying to discredit someone who escaped from them.
Troons like it because the idea of anyone but white people being the bad guys gets them upset.
but i love grand strategy games
My gf is Korean and is a fricking nightmare
can I have her?
Grand strategy but the countries you dictate are ran by actual people.
I still think Stellaris was their workaround to not being able to have a certain function in HOI.
EU4 MP multi-session campaigns are still easily the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Never forgetting the drama.
people that play grand strategy are legit subhumans

>if it isn't a woke capeshit fat-fest chugging corn syrup and söy then it must be heaven on earth, no in-between or third-world states are even remotely possible
Shit like this makes me kinda glad the Internet still mocks contrarian autism sometimes.
I am not American, but I get filtered by grand strategy games. I just like seeing my colours fill the map and never really know what I'm doing. Still haven't figured out how to not die immediately to the first
actively hostile enemy in Stellaris yet.
You could just try playing on a lower difficulty level anon.
I did, its a brain issue.
Hey man I can't play FPSes or anything requiring functional reaction time because of nerve-rot. It's okay.
I mean frick at this point just cheat or something anon if you want to just experience the game's very entertaining end of grinding to a fricking halt speed wise
I don't like cheating or using OP mods in singleplayer games. Not on principle, it just always makes me lose interest immediately. I only have a problem understanding the base mechanics and gameplay loop of these types of games, sort of a fundamental issue I'll only ever be able to circumvent rather than solve. Its still fun to play.
Well if you're enjoying yourself I am legally unable to stop you without it being a hate crime anon so Godspeed.
No matter how moronic I am, you simply can't stop me from enjoying playing a failing game session of my machine or bug empire.
I...yes anon, you are right. You got me! Go enjoy yourself champ, you're pretty smart!
I can save her, bros
There's an account of shit from the guy who worked with an animation studio in NK when things were briefly thawing in the early 2000s if anyone is vaguely interested in an insight that isn't propaganda (mostly because its fricking boring)
Can't remember his name. I actually think I read a PDF of it on fricking /b/ way back.
>Why do americans get filtered by grand strategy games?
i play actual grand strategy games, not paraslop for the mentally disabled
I know people who have been to North Korea unsupervised and they told me it's not half as bad as people say, they're basically stuck in the 60's Soviet Union and most of their issues are caused by the total embargo on them by the US.
I went too, it was great. Had no trouble getting in, was able to use the internet with no restrictions, watch whatever I wanted on the TV, I was allowed to say whatever I wanted about Kim Jong Un, and allowed to leave freely whenever I wanted. North Korea is truly a superior country.
I know this is sarcasm but I actually have chinese friends who worked in NK, both civilian and military.
>China
Now there’s a country! Just like glorious North Korea, they have no internet restrictions, can say whatever they want about their leader, and require zero permission to leave their country! Truly a magical place to live.
They censor the internet to a degree but they have been able to leave the country without restriction since the end of the cultural revolution.
I have literally fricked Kim Jong Sung on an all-access fearless leaderpass while everyone in Korea (there is no south, its made up by Japan perfidy) went into a paroxysm of orgasmic joy for my passing.
Here's my proof:
>there is no south, its made up by Japan perfidy
Honestly I never got far with their games aside from Battletech which is probably the best strategy game in years. TW:Warhammer and Mount&Blade are the only things that I really play a lot that kinda resembles Paradox.
paradox fans have the most severe case of dunning kruger ever documented and they actively seek out morons so they can pretend to superior. there is no strategy game more simple than a paradox game, even civ 6 is more complicated and respectable. no american is getting filtered to this by the way because only hispanics and yuropoors still play these shitty games.
Protip: You can detect the browns because their languages dont have capital letters and they think they're not important.
They also use the word they instead of their, don’t understand contractions, and think that plural words need an apostrophe.
This is Ganker are you suggesting someone suffers worse than dunning Krueger than here? I can name dozens of anonymous who have masters degrees in being morons who only know just enough to be stupid heh. We're basically the best at taking surface knowledge and spreading it inch thin.
In fact go on, ask me anything anon I'll be able to google it on wikipedia and rephrase the answer. Literally anything. We can't be beat :^)
you can learn any paradox game in an hour to the point of completely breaking it and these morons act like the games are the most complex thing ever. paradox games are the call of duty of strategy and normalgays only think they are hard because paradox fans are too stupid to explain the games. show me a paradox moron trying to play shadow empire or war in the east 2, you literally can't. they are too stupid to even play strategic command. the most entry level REAL ADULT STRATEGY GAME is several dimensions removed from the tiny brained paradox gay's comprehension. man this shit is depressing. i wouldnt care but paradox is so bad now there is not even any other excuse for playing the games other than being too stupid to play anything else. if you play their games, to me, that is admitting you are a moron who doesnt want to learn.
oh wow.
Reminder that the "Dunning-Krueger effect" is not what people think, which makes those who use the term fit the very accusation they are making about others.
The "effect" is just the idea that the more people really know about a subject, the less they overestimate their actual ability. That's basically it, and by the way even that conclusion is not fully accepted.
On the Internet people use the term meaning "dumb people think they know everything about a subject they don't understand", which besides not being a valid conclusion about the guys' study, ends up putting the people who use the term this way in the same situation, since they think they know what a study means when they are completely wrong.

>started the game with OWB instead of the base game so have to learn a different system entirely.
Now that I put over 300 hours into, the AI is actually ridiculously stupid. It shows that atleast this game was designed around Multiplayer.
I mostly just like to map paint and see numbers go up. There is also a roleplay aspect to it that keeps me entertained.
I almost bought AoW4 but the UI and fonts used are so disgusting I didn't in the end.
Yeah, I can see that. I'm enjoying it but I have a high tolerance for poor UI. I'm downloading Shadow Empire as we speak.
The old AoW games were so beautiful, don't understand what happened.
It's too bad because the make your own race thing seems fun.
>The old AoW games were so beautiful
It's the modernization disease. I prefer AoW4 mechanically but the campaign left a lot to be desired. Art isn't the only issue.
> make your own race thing seems fun
Making your own race and then transforming them into abominations as the game progresses is ridiculously fun.
because they suck. almost every RTS game I've played is more fun and engaging than grand strategy map painters with 1000 sub systems that just amount to +10% buffs to this or that stat

Because mericans don't have the mental capacity to play strategy games. They only play pew pew shooters. No need to think with shooters, just point and shoot.

I like playing map color simulators liek civilization but I get filtered hard when it comes to to EUIV
Why do you think about Americans 24/7? You seem to be awfully obsessed to the point of legitimate schizophrenia.
CK2 is fun, I like collecting the bloodlines, I remember starting as a literal who nobody in francia to get the bloodline of the last merohingi guy and later getting the Karling blood. Next up is the blood of Attila. The good thing is I also get randomly elected emperor of the HRE.
Should I not feel sorry for anyone anymore since they're all likely a grifter?
