“are you winning
sonopa?”“Well you see, if Germany had just…”
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.See that an raise you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
Yes, I’m aware. That doesn’t mean it was some sort of American secret operation to put Mengele in Argentina as a distraction. He escaped there, as did other Nazis. Hence the “Argentina Nazi thing” as you put it.
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.
I have been trying for years to figure out how I can get a screen on my face and a portable mouse and keyboard so I can work laying down.
VR headset, my dude
They haven’t made a vr desktop that doesn’t make you puke yet afaik. I have tried ar glasses and they are close, but the pair I have are blurry. Either a manufacturing defect or I need glasses
Ooh these look neat, ty
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.
Rokid air is incredible, highly recommend.
Nice thanks. I have the xreal air. Not a big fan
I love my rokid, but I can see how it’s an acquired taste.
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.
Wow, this POV: meme is actually POV.
It’s making me feel old in that he’s referred to as great Grampa and not just Grampa.
I’m almost 50 and none of my grandparents had turned 20 when the war ended. So if this makes you feel old, you are, in fact, old.
It wasn’t until after they all dies that I realised that all the model Spitfires and things my granddad had weren’t from his memories of fighting in WW2. He was in school during WW2. He just liked model planes.
I’m pretty sure my kids will one day ask me “dad, what were the 70s like?” and it’ll dawn on me that my enthusiasm with 1970s progrock has depicted me as being far older than I am
I’m not even 40 yet and my grandparents were in their 30s when the war ended. My parents had me when I was about my age now and similar for my grandparents for my parents.
Yeah, that makes sense then. But that’s older than average.

In EU4, not HOI4?
That is a screenshot from Victoria 2
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.
AllowSome of them do have Mechanics to Port over a game from one to anotherThat would be lovely.
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.
My bad
He should be sitting further back, that’s just bad for your neck and can give you eye strain
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.
It’s Victoria 2.
Great grandpa appears to be a ww1 vet.
Are you winning, dad?
A hearts of iron 4 enjoyer I see.
Victoria 2 ya casual.
I’m so sorry
Close (ish), but no.
The goals of the Second Reich weren’t actually that different from the Third. “Lebensraum” originated as a concept in the 1800s and Wilhelm even had plans for ethnically cleansing their African colonies.
I love coming to lemmy.world and seeing lots of casual jokes and conversation about nazism, very cool
We’re from the same instance so we should be seeing the same stuff. Yet I’m not seeing any Nazism.
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.
Youre commenting under a post about hehehohohaha my opas a nazi, if you cant see the reactionary trash content on here then you might need to take a step back
I did not say .ml was much better
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.
Making jokes about nazis is good actually
Even the label of Nazi is a joke we forced on them, to make them feel small and ridiculous
I agree
This joke is my grandfather is a nazi war criminal, haha, yes, thats not a good joke
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
Then why am I laughing bitch?
Man, you would have hated classic Hollywood…
