I’m pretty sure this is sarcasm, but just in case the best definition I can give for “dirty” food is an unholy abomination that’ll reduce your life by a couple years, but god is it good

Is it a sandwich if half of it isn’t between the bread? (Still looks great though, probably wouldn’t eat like a sandwich though)

Wait I thought that was just my internet being slow or smth. I haven’t got anything like 10 seconds, but it has been slow.

If you don’t have the DLC for Hoi4, Road to 56 makes for a great mod to get you some good focus trees and such, pretty much every country in the world has a unique focus tree. Worth it to check out.

Thats a common problem people have with Paradox games, for the most part my goals in them are just “paint the map however is most convenient” lmao. I have a hard time actually getting the motivation to fight tough opponents and normally ignore them in favor of expanding the easy path, until those powerful guys are now too powerful for me to even deal with.

Btw, the Total War games I said I liked are older entries into the series. I haven’t really played with the newer Total Wars, so if you want a more recent game, it’d probably be worth it for you to look into them and see which one is most attractive for you as I can’t really reccomend any of them having not played them. Do be aware that Empire is extremely clunky, and Napoleon is practically the same game, with a smaller map, far less clunkiness, and of course a bit later in history.

The general consensus I think is that the release was horrible, and the game is… alright, not great, not horrible. The first DLC, Voices of the People, has HORRIBLE reviews with only 26% positive on Steam tho, people are upset that instead of inproving the game itself, they added flavor for a single country instead. The popular theory is that they did this so they could give all the people who preordered the first couple DLCs crappy DLC just to fulfill that promise, and have the actual important DLC later so they have to pay for it.

In case you aren’t already aware, Cities: Skylines 2 comes out October 24th

Other than that I can only really reccomend you strategy games cause thats what I play lol.

From the same publisher as Cities: Skylines are the most popular grand strategy games, often refered to as Paradox (the company) games. Biggest ones are Eu4 (Europa Universalis 4) and HoI4 (Hearts of Iron 4), but there are quite a few others. Keep in mind however that these games with all DLC will cost you an arm and a leg, Paradox is heavy on DLC. But there are subscriptions for them, so $5 per month to have all the DLC, which is significantly cheaper until you play for 100000 years (I think more like 5 years before that $5 adds up to what it would’ve cost to buy the DLC). If you aren’t already into these, do know that they’re hard games to learn, I mostly learned how to play by watching youtuber lets plays of them.

Total War games are also good, I personally like Empire, Naloleon, and Shogun II / Fall of the Samurai / Rise of the Samurai. If you’ve never heard of them, they’re a mix of a grand strategy turn based game in the campaign map, and a pausable RTS in the actual battles where you control your units and fight it out.

I can’t really reccomend Vic III, if he enjoys Vic II, Vic III is a radically different game than that. He would probably want to do a lot of looking into it to see if he likes where the third game took the series.
