HOI4 The Fire Rises (hexbear.net)

Opinions? I've tried getting started a few times but it almost feels too "topical" and makes me depressed. but i'll still probably do a leftist radical revolt U.S. run.

for anyone that's tried: I see the PSL tree being pretty "lol tankie" with glory to the party and other tropes. the DSA on steroids seems like the only decent leftist path (lol no patsoc i'm glad that's the 'evil' path). maybe anarchist.

The soundtrack rocks, and I like anything synth/vapor wave in aesthetic. So give me your opinions

also field marshal ypg-brace

I haven't played much of HOI4--still need to learn past the tutorial. This looks interesting and I want to try it now. I've been pirating Paradox games, which means to use mods from the Steam Workshop I rely on other sources or have to use a tool to directly download the mod (and if the newest available cracked game is older than the mod supports and there is no archive of older versions, you're SOL). Thankfully this mod has other sources, but I wish they provided the source code.

You aren't doing the ingame tutorial are you? Because it sucks.
