Man, I saw pictures of that new place and I am jealous. 1, because it's in Sweden so who knows when I'll ever end up there and 2, you guys don't invite people over.  Why make the office look so cool and then hide it from people?!

Fintilgin posted:Didn't you get the notice, Groogy? Your office is being relocated to the Rome themed room in Paradox's brand new office. October 27th, 2015 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the helleniophilic disposition of a few internet forum posters, but let me explain what all of this means to me. My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Fintilgin told me the theme of my new Office tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human.

Today was a good day now send him an email telling him to move groogy into the the roman room. say it is as punishment for the puns groogy wrote into the hamburg national idea descriptions. also, I'm gonna miss the Hansa in EUIV, but Hamburg's NI set easily makes up for that loss. if you made the actual ideas alongside the description, then you made a sweet NI set. e; what is the johanneum and how does it relate to NIs? (nm, I googled it and saw gymnasium and it threw me waaay off so I disregarded it because that means something totally different in english than it does in german) Another Person fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Oh cool a new Stelaris DD about leaders! *20 pages of totally-not-racists upset the diversity of portraits for humans is too high for them to role play as space nazis but it's strictly hypothetical and it's important to note the posters them selves are NOT racist, they just prefer to play video games where they role play as 100% white male dominated empires* *additional derail into Roman concepts of racial purity*

It's funny how people bring up space nazis to justify white only portraits but when in reality if we knew about other intelligent life forms capable of loving us up Nazis would switch from race to species in choice of targets.

No, you don't understand. In order to accurate roleplay a Space Nazi you must let me choose whites only as my character portraits. Umgo Umbongo can't be in my government because of my immersion. Don't call me racist.

India has a pretty advanced space program and their economy's climbing pretty fast, and yet the Expanse series and Civilization: Beyond Earth are the only sci-fi I can think of that has anything more than maybe one token Indian person in space. Then again I don't generally care for sci-fi so maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

Would they? Internal pogroms as a response to an external threat isn't exactly unprecedented historically. After all, if we lose to the space slugs, it's obviously because the Jews sabotaged us from within. It can't be because they actually just fought better than we did.

I just find it weird and gross and very paradoxforums that racial purge mechanics is something they really really want. I can get the argument for terrible nazi things to happen in a WWII game because that's history and it was a very important part of the time period. But in a space fantasy game?? In a game that will allow you to have slavery as a policy people are upset that the human names aren't white enough and why can't we have internal genocide and slavery?!?! Like I guess sure there's some "realism" reasons you could include that, but I think it mostly speaks to the types of people the people demanding these features are. I'm sure they also love to play Germany in every video game and make scale models of german military vehicles and own "WWII memorabilia" that just happen to be mostly german and have book shelves full of WWII books, once again strangely focused on the germans. Maybe they do airsoft or historical dress up and have an SS uniform. But they are NOT nazi's or nazi sympathizers they're just really interested in history you see. Anyways, click my sig to get a 20 paragraph feature request about how to "tastefully and historically" implement the holocaust to HOI4 and maybe why Hitler had good reasons to do it (good reasons from a historical perspective I'm not really a nazi remember!)

Similarly, it's quite unrealistic for a country to purge many of its best scientists during an economic downturn.

I think you're really overestimating the Nazis, here. Genocide was an end in and of itself to them-- when their entire country was tumbling around their ears they still put resources into carrying on the Holocaust. gently caress Nazis. Paradox should really... like... do something about all of the weird nazis and racists and reactionaries who have taken roost in their official forums. It seems like it's a problem in the fanbase for these games in general-- the last time I played CK2 every time I hit shift-tab to bring up the steam overlay one of the guides was "How to expel the Jews" with a loving swastika as the icon-- but maybe cleaning up the trash on the official forums that Paradox actually has control over would be a good place to start.

I do hope it's really easy to make empire graphics though. Simple 2d portraits and some txt files or what ever. Workshop will be full of cool race sets. I know the game generates random races but I wonder if there's a way to tie certain empires to certain graphics, or weight them. So you could for example create a species graphics set for super religious humans and have the art all like space templars and poo poo, but then the game randomly selects that art set to be used in a randomly generated communist-technocracy human empire. Probably not though, other than telling the game what species-type it's for there won't be much to pre-set.
