    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).

    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.

    It’s making me feel old in that he’s referred to as great Grampa and not just Grampa.

        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.

    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.

      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.

          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

          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
