  Yeah fair enough. I guess I meant something more like Vic3/HOI4. I want to say “yoo dude I gave Mexico to the United Fruit Company last night for the buff” and have them say “gave ur mum to pennsylvania forestries last night cuz she wants wood so much innit bruv” - or in other words I want to be understood, I would want this to spiral in an intertwined discussion about real history, politics, economics and its representation in-game between reasonable people with sane actual real life beliefs and an insatiable need for cognition and knowledge powered by hyperactivity and focused by stimulants and a lack of al-ghul circulating in the blood stream longterm, for whom there needn’t be the discomfort of unfamiliarity, the guesswork of “are you really insane or just saying that” and weariness of being observed by the ‘Other’. I want to tell someone about the Taipei rebellion for the first time, or to be told about it again.

  I feel like civ players would leave the table if I brought that up at a theoretical gathering from my experience.

  If only I could converse with others like I could with myself. Then again, I would probably be disappointed anyway.

    Damn. With a friend like you I would play a lot more paradox games. I like them but there is so many other games stealing my attention :(

        As my steam account have almost 1800 games it is a bit hard to say. I buy a lot of indie games to experience new mechanics and gameplay. I fall back to Factorio every now and then and that is probably my most played non mmo. It just lacks consistency. I rarely play anything to the end or enough to get good at it.

    I have never played either games, but according to your entire comment, I am nothing but invested.

    I can also see what some people mean by “Hearts of Iron 4 poisoned mind”
