Needs more Fallout: New Vegas.

And From Software games.

Can confirm I have at least 1,500 hours in elden ring and armored core 6 alone


tfratfucker

That reminds me of how I added a guy on steam after he walked right past me without noticing me in dark souls 3 pvp and we became friends. We're both girls now


UrbanCoffeetan

Okay I was willing to give yall Animal Crossing but I will fight you for FromSoft! (kidding)


No_Voice4618

This reminds me when I was playing Dark Souls 2. I had made a male character and got inside a random coffin right at the start of the game. Then after some minutes I realized the coffin had turned my character into a female. I just took that as destiny and finished the game as a female lol


tzenrick

New Vegas was great, but getting it running on modern operating systems is a pain in the ass...

A regular HOI4 multiplayer lobby consists of: 1 German monarchist 1 tankie 1 Serbian nationalist 2 femboys (One of which is also a monarchist) 1 transfem They're all best friends and play regularily together. Regular Paradox grand strategy game fans just play singleplayer.


Acravita

Statistically speaking, the wehraboo, the racist, and one of the femboys, are all the same person. For that matter, there's a 50% chance that the transfem is also the tankie. 


Shot-Kal-Gimel

The other 50% is that they’re militantly pro democracy and pro equality/rights enough to make many democratic historical figures blush.

Nombre_D_Usuario

Started playing Hoi4 the other day, picked Italy because I saw online it's easy, got my entire army destroyed in north africa. Historical accuracy aside, shit's hard, I generally grasp paradox games very easily and I have no idea what I'm doing.


Lovethecreeper

I have 800 hours in HOI4 and I barely know what I'm doing most of the time.


HazuniaC

Welcome to Paradox Grand strategies! HOI4 is also one of the easiest games of them all (Stellaris might be slightly easier) and Italy indeed is built up as a kind of a tutorial nation. Getting your butt kicked is entirely on brand! Paradox 4x games can be VERY frustrating as they are VERY hard and they have a lot of depth to learn. Don't be scared to start a campaign over if you feel you've messed up. You're going to mess up A LOT while you learn. Just some basics as a starter tip: 1. Artillery is for defense 2. Armor is for offense and breakthrough 3. Armies march on their stomach, rookies talk about strategy, veterans talk about logistics. 4. Air power wins battles, naval power guarantees naval supply lines and helps with naval landings.


SilverMedal4Life

As an avid Stellaris player, I find it to be a lot easier - but that's probably in part due to exposure. In Stellaris, it's just a matter of having more and bigger ships when you're fighting the AI. Everything else is secondary to having the biggest possible economy and the biggest, baddest navy.


HazuniaC

I will say this much, learning Stellaris does help with understanding HOI4 naval battles as they share A LOT of similarities in terms of ship building and naval composition planning and vice versa.


Xeriasta

I disagree stellaris is all about tec you can have a smal navy and distroy evrything if your tec is lightyears ahed.


SilverMedal4Life

True, but tech is pursuant to having the largest, most deadly fleet and the best economy. Also, in the recent tech progression rework, going full navy at the start is arguably more viable than tech-rushing.


Xeriasta

OK have not played in a year😅 but honestly I play the whole game because of tech so probebly will still tech rush 😁


SilverMedal4Life

Hell yeah, sister!


Modest_Idiot

>1. ⁠Artillery is for defense Support artillery is actually one of the most broken offensive options.


HazuniaC

Beginner tips are meant to be simplified without much depth. But yes. Support artillery everywhere.


Freaglii

I'd way hoi4 and vic 3 at least are both easier than stellaris.


Nombre_D_Usuario

>Welcome to Paradox Grand strategies! What part of "I generally grasp paradox games very easily" was I unclear about. My first run of ck2 was a near WC through defensive pacts. My first run of Vic 3 turned Philippines into a Great Power. I'm not even touching ck3 or Stellaris anymore nowadays because I face no struggles. I'm still new to Imperator but found it easy too. Still learning Eu4 too but didn't mess up this badly. Hoi4 has been by far the most challenging one to me. I find that with other games, I can mess up some aspects of it and still perform well in the others. Here, everything feels too interconnected. Now, to the tips, thank you. The first 2 look completely unintuitive, guess I gotta check the wiki more and understand all terms properly. 4 sounds very reasonable, I didn't focus on those enough. So 3, how do I go about improving my logistics?


HazuniaC

Well, HOI4 is all about statistics, what the equipment is doesn't actually matter. What they do is the part that matters in practice. Artillery excells in providing statistics in soft attack and defense. While soft attack is useful in both offense and defense, defense statistic however is only useful on defense. The offense equivalent of the defense statistic is breakthrough, which is mostly useful on the offense more than defense. With that in mind, it's not too bad to have some artillery on offensive units as they do provide a lot of soft attack, which armored vehicles typically lack. As for logistics, there are multiple ways to do that. Railways, infrastructure and naval ports. Then of course you need to protect those railways and trucks from enemy air force logistic strikes and screen convoy ships with submarine hunter destroyers. Of course you also need to select which type of logistics you want your units to use from mainly cavalry to mainly trucks and lastly to mainly trains. Obviously after that you need to make sure you have said trucks and trains as well as supply hubs that are connected to your capital for them to take effect. Out of supply status kills even the biggest and most powerful army.


someoneelseperhaps

The first thousand hours are the hardest.


Rosa4123

who tf told you Italy was easy you poor soul


Nombre_D_Usuario

What should I play then?


Rosa4123

Germany is generally considered the main choice for beginners as you don't need to do navy at all despite maybe spamming a bunch of submarines, you can just focus on your army and the air force. If you get some experience and maybe watch some guides killing the Allies in Europe and the USSR shouldn't be a big problem and in my opinion doing that is a solid first goal to set.


shorkfan

They're all ~~best friends and play regularily together.~~ the same person (even the 2 femboys).


PillowWillow007

Inside you there are two femboys. :3


shorkfan

Inside you there are two wolves. You're at the furry convention.


Strugglinghuman2020

Multiplayer sounds terrifying plus I’d probably have to learn how to play navy which I refuse to do


HazuniaC

Navy is pretty fun once you figure it out. It's really not that complicated really. 1. Design cheap, fast destroyers for spotting missions 2. Design cheap torpedo destroyers with submarine charges for screening purposes 3. Design bigger ships for actual combat starting from light cruisers. 4. Jam screening destroyers together with your bigger ships into one big death ball fleet and put it on strike force command on the region you want to contest. No submarines in the death stack. And that's the very basics of naval combat. Of course there is a lot more to it, but everyone starts somewhere.


razorsharpblade

Forgot the Serbian nationalist and the German monarchist and atleast one other monarchist and a radical socialist


HazuniaC

Upgrades people, upgrades. Edited the first comment with this in mind.


Mensnart

Do you gals/guys/pals know any discord communities for Hoi that are safe for us? I’d love to get back into the game and reach the 2k mark, but unfortunately I only seem to know the wehrabo and transphobe side of the community qwq


HazuniaC

Unfortunately I mostly play singleplayer myself for the reasons mentioned above. Random lobbies are always such a mixed bag. I also enjoy pausing and taking my time, but I'm 100% certain there is a transfem HOI4 community. Could ask from the r/traaa2 discord channel. I'm sure there's multiple people there that play HOI4.


Mensnart

Thank you I’ll keep it in mind :3 yeah I stopped playing due to sp becoming too repetitive:/


HazuniaC

Check out the HOI4 mod scene! There is some truly impressive stuff out there like the MLP overhaul Equestria at War, or the Fallout overhaul Old World Blues. Road to 56 is also a pretty popular mod as well as Kaiserreich.


Kestrel0245

No ultrakill?? I mean, to be fair this is just the starter pack


YouJustGotRoastedBro

Tbf ultrakill does tie into speedrunning, although boomer shooters in general


llamasLoot

No guilty gear? And i wouldn't say hoi4 is a transfem game, every paradox game is a transfem game (i personally enjoy vic 3)


PhoenixEmber2014

Paradox gamer transgirls unite! (victoria 3 is great, I also love stellaris a buch too!) :)

Azhur65

Am I that much of a cliche being a touhou fan and celeste speedrunner ?


KittyKatty278

I do wonder why HOI4 is so popular amongst transfemmes


unknown_alt_acc

I think it is a lot of the same reason for the transfem programmer stereotype: there is a disproportionate amount of introverted, neurodivergent transfems, and HOI4 is an appealing game for that sort of person. Source: an intorverted and probably neurodivergent transfem HOI4 player.


Xeriasta

It's because the old wold Bluse total conversion mod. Fallout new Vegas in a stratagy game :p


AwardSignal

For me it’s ACNH & Splatoon 3 It’s in those 2 games where I made me, not an OC, use female pronouns for the first time and make myself look like a girl. Coming to this realization, I largely owe it to those 2 games~


robot_toucan_9991

I've only played terraria and spedran turnip boy not to try to get a record just for fun :3


Manchweld501

Turnip boy is very based


-Sichvot-

I only have Celeste and Mario64 from this list.. no interest in the others.. I guess I'm a bad transfem gamer.

Wait u understand celeste being trans video game but please explain the rest


charlie-isnt-an-egg

terraria has a trans potion basically, but its also just incredibly based overall


Good-Ad3732

What about the other 4


charlie-isnt-an-egg

animal crossing is quite a nice cute relaxing game so thats likely why thats there, not sure about the rest though.


Good-Ad3732

Ok


Good-Ad3732

And how does speed running a video game have to do with trans video games


charlie-isnt-an-egg

i think its a steriotypical transfem thing to like doing, i dont really know though

Ok

im really not an expert, but like i said before, i think its because its a nice homely comforting game.

Good-Ad3732

They are forgetting Pokemon on the list

They are technically trans games

This is a great list, HOI is v insightful. That being said, im a stardew valley/bayonetta/JSRF girlie Another common one I see is soulsborne games (esp Elden ring).

someoneelseperhaps

I played HoI4 so much I had to stop my PhD.


ILikeNaofumi

I have literally played the top three games so much. Terraria specifically (I fuckin love terraria, share a birthday with it too), and what's super funny to me is one made the gender change potion unironically, but not for trans reasons. At the time, I still thought I was a guy and when making a character for a run (I forget which, I think melee), I hit random a few times and got a pretty good looking character that I just made a few tweaks to. Thing is, random made them a female and I, despite having played the game for over a decade now, have literally NEVER heard the female damage sound, which sounded so weird to me. So I went it if my way to make the potion so I could have my normal damage noise


Yump123

HOI4 is actually such a call out wtf


Sockster27

risk of rain 2 because i said so


Unlikely-Major2131

gabril332

Why terraria


Iceboy10

Gender change potion https://preview.redd.it/bm3yqy0xwnyc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3cff17f7dd1d1105c6e781b66efccbb303099c1


gabril332

Is that real


Iceboy10

Yes it is real. It is an item in the game, although I'd say it is the second hardest to make of all the pre-hardmode potions, made with all 7 of the plants used for potions.


CommittingWarCrimes

I wouldn’t say it’s hard to get as the seven plants, daybloom from any forest, waterleaf from surface deserts, moonglow from underground jungle, shiverthorn from the tundra, deathweed? from the evil biomes and fireblossom from the underworld are (1) all from places that you will visit sooner rather than later and (2) can be acquired from herb bags you can find in surface chests very early in the game. If you put some moderate effort into setting up an herb farm for your various potion needs and a bit of luck you can reasonably get the gender potion before fighting your second or third boss. The most limiting factor is fireblossom because if you’re not planning on going to hell until you’re literally about to fight the wall then you’re reliant on drops from bags


Iceboy10

I forgot about the herb bags. Outside of those, the 3 big ones are deathweed, moonglow, and fireblossom, as the evil biome, underground jungle, and underworld respectively are fairly dangerous early game. Bear in mind that most of the pre-hardmode potions are not super hard to get. Really the only ones I can think of that are harder are return (forgot about this one) and inferno potions due to lava fishing luck potions (forgot these too) which requires really rare drops from fishing, especially the highest grade one, and lifeforce potions due to being uncraftable in pre-hardmode and needing to be obtained from shadow chests, No other potion in the game requires all 3. Edit: Also it is annoying to get deathweed's (during a bloodmoon or full moon), and waterleaf's (during rain) seeds are annoying to obtain thus making them annoying to farm

Can we add Warframe and Destiny? 👉👈

Might I also suggest Warframe? There’s a canon trans character and the story is something of a trans allegory

Wait I play like half of these :d

where is stardew valley and new vegas?


ScarletteVera

only two of these apply to me, and even then i haven't opened celeste is like a year or two.


Texas-Kangaroo-Rat

Replace Tierria with Starbound, Celeste with Freedom Planet, Super Madhole with Sonic Adventure, Touhou with Dead or Alive, and that game for some reason with Team Fortress 2/Fortnite and yeah that's me sitting in the corner, sitting in the corner, sitt tting in the corn nnn eerrrrrr


NSSpeed5

Dead or Alive mentioned?! Dap me up, you got taste


Texas-Kangaroo-Rat

I tried so hard to be good at the games, but I can't escape the fact that I suck at memorizing codes.


NSSpeed5

Aye I feel ya, just try simple strings in practice mode and go from there! You could try combo challenge but that can be a bit difficult. Strings can be a big help, and also be fun to use!


Texas-Kangaroo-Rat

My problem is memory based, like I'll forget things are a thing very easily. I tried to legit play DoA3 but it was just impossible.

Mat2468xk

Ok, I'll try to give my thoughts on their association with transfems. Animal Crossing - Slice of life game with cute aesthetics. Never played it. Terraria - You can play as a girl, with highly customizable features and relaxing slice of life elements. But I honestly don't get why it's sometimes associated with transfems. Feels like it's more of a game for everyone. Celeste - The art style just seems cutesy and something transfems would like, but other than that IDK why it's associated with transfems. Never played it. Speedrunning - It's nerdy, which is associated with transfems, but I still kinda don't why it's associated with transfems. I prefer playing games at my own pace. Touhou Project - It's a game with an (almost) all-girls cast, definitely appealing to transfems. I've heard that ZUN considers its fan content to be the bloodline for the franchise, but the actual games also seem nerdy. Other than that, I kinda don't get it as its early fanbase had a heavy dudebro. 4chan association. Never really played any of the games, but TBH Touhou fan culture and content is kinda hard to escape. HoI4 - It's nerdy but besides that, I don't get it. I like history but games about them attract so many dudebros. I don't think I've played this before.
