I think that Victoria 2 and CK2 are definitely some of the hardest to learn pdx games, but HOI4 is close to the top.
Considering that this is a copypasta, yes, they were trying to be funny.

It's actually not, I've looked through all of the stock images of this guy and in some he was holding the noose in his hands.
Bait used to be believable
Joeseph has the benefit of having written a book, so he can just say he's a writer.
That's not really hyperbolic when you take a look at the American healthcare system.
Maybe he's just Dutch

I guess we should watch out for when they make an AI based VR "experience" then. That'll definitely turn into a Matrix like situation.
(Assuming it doesn't turn into complete garbage like that AI Minecraft experiment.)
Do you think this is the reason why so much money is being poured into generative AI by tech bros and now the US government? Lessening the critical thinking skills of people who use it, which is a lot of people by now, so that they don't worry about what unethical things companies or the government does?
Something to think about, I suppose.
We should be the ones calling them snowflakes, not the other way around.

For all fans of Fallout and strategy games, I highly recommend the Old World Blues mod for Hearts of Iron IV
(lemmy.world)
Currently one of the most popular mods on the Steam workshop, it introduces the West coast of North America to HOI4, including such canon factions as the NCR and Caesar's Legion, while also seamlessly integrating in its own lore about Mexico, Canada, Colorado, Oregon and other regions.
It has custom music, 3D models, an entirely different technology tree to the base game, a hand built map, an economy system and around 92 unique focus trees (not including all of the amazing submods that have been created). Currently the mod is in version 4.2 and will add in new content in the Northern areas of the mod in 5.0, slowly adding in the whole North American continent from West to East.
The only main downside would be the learning curve of HOI4 in general, however Old World Blues is fairly forgiving to new players if they do not play one of the major nations (such as Caesar or the NCR).
I personally recommend new players to play such nations as: the Texas Brotherhood (you have a technological advantage); New Vegas (you are not the target of many wars); Lanius's Cohort (you are much stronger than your surrounding neighbours, who you will try to conquer).
Though it may be recommended to watch a few tutorials of HOI4 before starting (Bitt3rsteel has an amazing beginner's tutorial on his YouTube channel).

I've always heard about this buffalo skull pile, but I didn't actually look at a picture of it.
And damn, that is striking to see so many dead buffalo in one place under the heel of colonialist scumbags. Thousands upon thousands...
