    All this Argentina nazi thing feels like a psi op from the americans to distract from the fact they took in much more nazis and incorporated them into government. (Non argentinian btw).

      Not entirely. The concept of Germans escaping to Argentina is real, ranking party members and leaders would hide with the help of the Catholic church and make their way to neutral Spain, then take a boat to Argentina which accepted Germans and their ideals plus helped them attain new identities and jobs in the country. Mossad hunted down and assassinated many high ranking Nazis in Argentina and Spain. Operation Paperclip specifically only took German scientists, and the Russians did the same. If you could not be taken under Paperclip, you went to Argentina.

      Yeah I think it was called Operation Paperclip Garden or something like that, Axis scientists got snatched up by the Yanks and Reds and got to continue sciencing, I think one of them uploaded his brain into a couple hundred kilometers of storage tape

      Thanks, now I can understand. I wouldn’t know about US demographics, but stil… I’ve lived in Argentina for 95% of my life and never heard this thing until I emigrated to the EU. Truly, I can hardly think we have more Germans than the rest of latinoamerica… We dodid have lots of europeans that came in between, and around, both world wars. The majority are from Spain and Italy.

        Argentina has the highest percentage of people of German ancestry in Latin America, and people of German ancestry are actually the fifth largest ethnic group in the country.

        You nailed it though, Germans and other Europeans have always emigrated to Argentinia, it’s one of the reasons about a thousand officers of the German high command escaped there post ww2.

        But as other have noted in the thread, plenty of Nazis made their way into a normal, very comfortable life in the countries that made up the allies. Not like Argentina was special, the country just already had a decent German population already.

    How long can he play until the neck hurt?

    If It’s me, I’ll replace the chair with a reclining one, lap table for the keyboard and mouse. A massage chair would be nice.

        You either buy the expensive prebuilt one (zero gravity chair or scorpion like gaming chair) or you could MacGyver it yourself using used kid hamster wheel from abandoned play ground near you.

              I’m more unhappy with the polish on this particular ar glasses. I still think the form factor has potential. I’ll see how much rokid is.

              How do you use it generally?

                Used to use it a few hours a day, but got busy.

                Have a gpd mini and these and a ps5 controller, just chill in bed playing whatever, feels amazing.

    Pretty sure that’s Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I’m just pretty sure that’s EU4’s user interface. If the humour is that it’s supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the “German Reich”. EU4 takes place before the second world war.

    Edit: Nevermind, it’s Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.

        Paradox have too many grand strategies. They need to make just one game that spans from 6000BC to 2500AD.

          I don’t think it is feasible to build one without a massive scope creeping. The grand strategies have very different focuses depending on the era.

            Paradox’s historical grand strategies are too complex for my feeble mind so if they make one dumbed down with less mechanics to be compatible with more time periods that would be fine for me.

          Im a big fan of the purge the galaxy of xeno scum so my cute aliens can convert everyone to food as was ordained by dear leader. Long live the empire, least till the late game crisis unless you become the crisis.

          Also planet crackers, the right way to create a neutral zone and mineral source.

              Oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize Voice to Text had screwed up my comment, I meant to say that a lot of the games already have that mechanic. At least CK2 to EU4 did. I think eu4 had one that branched to Victoria 2 as well, though I’m not sure.

        Plenty of .ml stuff makes it to my front page on .world and the few nazi references I see are deliberately making fun of them. Tankie stuff on the other hand, oh boy is there a lot of that.

          The guy is playing a war game. He’s looking at a map where Germany has conquered Europe. There is not one comment on this post that suggests Nazism. It is a far stretch to say this is lemmy.world is driving conversations around Nazism

            Brother the Argentina part is absolutely suggesting Nazism, that’s the joke. I mean it’s absurd thing to get mad about and that other user is a weirdo, but the point of joke is totally making fun of Nazis.

      Even the label of Nazi is a joke we forced on them, to make them feel small and ridiculous

          The idea of a nazi forced to live in exile pathetically fantasizing about what could have been by playing video games is pretty funny to me, there is also the added subtext that this the only sort of evidence that reveals to the grandchildren his past, because it’s too shameful to ever talk about
