Imma be real, i don't pay much attention to the TNO Modding stuff and i'd be lying if i said i was caught up on everything you're doing with your project. But in regards to the Lore, have you considered reworking some of it to an extent?

People like Goebbels aren't even in TNO simply because they were forgotten about when making the mod. Would you ever reconsider including people like them again? or would it be something that'd require a bunch of other stuff to be altered as well?.

If someone else started working on it, he would probably consider it.

Pisscorders have zero soul, it's why they watch all their content on a handful of websites.
Also found this Kino made by a TFR dev:

"After a very lolcow-esque tyrant gets into power and spirals america into a nation wide cult of personality, Kiwifarms founder Joshua Moon radicalizes in wake of the 3rd Civil war and begins his final solution to detain as many criminals, celebirties, imbeciles, and other "lolcow coded" folk into gigantic zoos in some deranged attempt to solve all of humanity's flaws."
All hail der feeder null!!!
Centrist presidents like McNamara won't be impacted too much since they're middle-of-the-road. Hall and Yockey are edge cases, and will be able to gain from the AIDS pandemic to a greater extent, Hall through his Lavender Scare and Yockey because of his alignment with National Socialism. Until at least America gets 70's content, I think we can just restrain it to a simple decision category. Maybe have Harvey Milk be patient zero for the memes.
Relevant thread:
May I suggest that the president's themselves have a 0.001% chance of getting AIDS? Just as a funny little extremely rare possibility for the player to deal with.

What did she do to deserve this hell? Can we all just turn back time to the good old geopolitical reality of 2009?
what is this reference to? Sorry if I am asking a retarded question

Also, may I add I wish to work as a TNO:RA writer? I assume my anime pfp would make me a prime candidate for needing to write important narratives such as working in a TADC minigame or something o algo

In all seriousness:
It is also one of the most ignored timeframes in videogames related to the cold war and yet it is also one of the most fascinating timeframes given all the stuff that happened during that time. Peak Vietnam war, the Arab-Israeli conflicts, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the American approach to China, the Sino-Soviet war, the various conflicts in Africa like the Congo, Angola, Ethiopia vs Somalia, the Rhodesian bush war, insurgencies in Latin America, the Arab conflict between nationalist and monarchies, skirmishes in the Korean DMZ, the start of the The Troubles in Ireland, communist terrorist attacks across many nations. It is a shame it is so ignored.
This sort of stuff is generally ignored but even during this time period you have all sorts of weird shit going on even in Australia, example being Whitlam forced out by the CIA (allegedly, if you want to run with that theory) and causing such internal strife in such a monumental, total fuckup it does actually cause a civil war at the time. This would be a lot harder to work in than something like when Harold Holt went missing and the Liberals literally had no one to actually elect as their PM, which if you dial it up to 11 can cause something similar as no one can decide who to lead the country and bureaucracy breaks down under the weight of having no one at the helm, although this is just one aspect of this era that is completely ignored. I want to ask: what would happen with Iran in such a timeline? Especially if the soviets have a Diarchy and without Carter, the US would have a more hawkish policy on not conceding Iran then.

This entire debacle btw if i recall, did actually cause a surge in Republicanism here in Australia, considering the Queen did basically fucking nothing at all to help out with the constitutional crisis (which she was aware was happening btw)

That just gave me an idea for 70's content for RA, Australia is no longer a republic at the start and Whitlam can be elected in the 70s, which leads to the crisis happening like in OTL. He can be dismissed as IOTL, and things go back to normal. While this may seem like a wikiscrape so far, bare with me for a moment. If Whitlam survives or wins reelection after being dismissed, he declares a republic and moves to withdraw from the OFN which can lead to a CIA-backed army coup. Maybe have it be a proxy Japan and the US fight over so it isn't purely skeleton content.

I generally try to stay in line with the established lore, but I like to bend the lore if it means getting something interesting out of it. Beria was dead originally and Putin didn't exist, but they're more interesting alive then dead. Besides, it doesn't change the core setting.

Forgetting Joseph Goebbels was an excellent mistake in hindsight. If he's dead then that deprives Hitler of his prime candidate for succession, and sets up the German Civil War. It also ended up becoming a key event in the setting so I'm reluctant to change it.

Sure just send a DM if you're serious
Latinx nations will finally become interesting o algo.
