Wonder what the above would have to say about alt-Helldivers games assuming my above post happens.

Post for Helldivers II, a first-person shooter game set in an authoritarian galaxy-spanning Empire centered around the seemingly "democratic" "Freedom Earth". The game satirizes many aspects of the first George W. Bush Administration and its' War on Terror. (Yeah I had to do that :P)

I don't really agree with Petlin or Werbell. Werbell actually does legitimately good things in his better paths and if we list him we can list ANYONE with a bad path like "pre-rework Sablin" but whom can also be really wholesome. Petlin is a legitimate redemption option. He was literally...

Eh games so big it takes years of your life to finish isn't in itself a bad idea(while this is hardly open world, I'd say Persona 5 is a very good example of that sort of game done right), it is more Ubisoft and Bethesda refusing to innovate their respective franchise or in the latter case...

My own take on the "US tries to achieve superpower status with more kindness or at least as less really controversial decisions as possible for a world power" inspired by the recent "US wins cold war with kindness" thread, the various "best possible US reputation" threads we had some time back...

The "7-8 episodes max is the new normal mentality" is never adapted by the television industry and rather it becomes a case-by-case situation depending on the show in question and the character arcs being planned, leading to some shows have shorter 7-8 episodes while others get the old 13-20...

It's possible. Have Henry Wallace wake up to Stalin's excesses much earlier and eventually succeed FDR. While Wallace did a few shady things(He was the one who told Truman to initiate Operation Paperclip). IIRC Wallace's policies re:Latin America was far less imperialistic and he'd be also the...

As previously mentioned, Larouche was VERY reactionary regarding abortion and feminism so we'd pretty much see Schafly or some other turbo-reactionary being appointed to SCOTUS.

We'd see huge focus on infrastructure, nuclear and fusion energy domestically, populist economic policies combined with an attempt to roll back the cultural changes of the 1960s by cracking down hard on counterculture while promoting certain forms of "classical" music since Larouche viewed it...

Even my idea of the USSR rolling nat20s and 1919 being more successful would likely see some sort of fragmentation alliances wise down the line tbqh, I don't really see how a fully unified socialist bloc is possible, at most we can have a couple of blocs be cordial with each other.

Either have a Reds situation where the US goes Communist in the Great Depression and it results in both hemispheres of the Americas going socialist, or...... Have Lenin get succeeded by Sverdlov as suggested by the poster above me Germany goes Red in 1919, Polish-Soviet War resulting in a joint...

To be honest, I don't think fandoms behaving that way is inherently a bad thing, on the basis that there is an impulse for people to want to explore mentally certain dark narratives or ideas without it being brought into the real world and one of the reasons why certain openly toxic ships are...

Also this is something I am curious about, but how did you guys do a Kingdom Hearts III where every major villain is redeemed and it being implied that there wasn't much backlash? I am asking because I am planning on having alt-Xehanort or his equivalent in a gaming timeline I am planning also...

I've already created a rough outline on what my gaming spin-off set in this TL would look like. I am wondering, has there been any indications what Pokemon would look like here?

It's more honestly due to the butterfly effect than anything, and the reasons for Israel not existing(ie: different world wars, surviving Ottomans, no Holocaust, the list goes on and on....) is broad enough to cover a EXTREMELY large time period that will have huge divergences. I agree with you...
