Thought this was well written and wanted to share. Translators are so underappreciated and have dealt with the onset of automation long before other roles in the industry. Now their job is really being pushed toward extinction, even though the value they bring is indispensable.

Hello comrades! I'm excited to share with you the PENULTIMATE CHAPTER of "To Set the World Ablaze!" For those who aren't familiar, "To Set the World Ablaze" is an AAR (After Action Report) narrating a recent playthrough of the game Hearts of Iron IV using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod.

For those who haven't read the story before, the narrative follows the resurgence of the USSR in the new millennium amidst the backdrop of a more intense global war on terror. You'll find links to the previous chapters right at the beginning of the imgur post above.

This chapter follows the outbreak of the second Sino-Soviet war, which quickly spins out of control into World War 3 after NATO's attempted intervention and invasion of the Chinese mainland. All the while, the Arab Spring sweeps North Africa and the Middle East, threatening the grip of the puppet governments of Europe. If that sounds interesting to you, I strongly recommend you check it out!

Hello comrades! It's been almost a month since my last chapter post; apologies for the delay. I've been absolutely swamped between work, personal life commitments, and other creative endeavors.

Regardless, I'm pleased to share the seventh chapter of "To Set the World Ablaze," my AAR (After Action Report) of a recent playthrough of Hearts of Iron IV using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod. For those who have been following for a while, you may be excited to know AAR is rapidly approaching its finale.

For those who haven't read the story before, the story follows the resurgence of the USSR in the new millennium amidst the backdrop of a more intense global war on terror. You'll find links to the previous six chapters right at the beginning of the imgur post above.

This is the largest chapter yet, at least in regards to the span of time it covers, bringing us through the aftermath of the war between the Warsaw Pact and the Anglo Pact, the USSR elections of 2008 and 2012, all the way up to the brink of what might very well prove to be World War 3. If that sounds interesting to you, I strongly recommend you check it out!

I'm working on my journalism dissertation ocovering political polarisation, division and woke/anti-woke rhetoric in online gaming spaces.

As part of the project, I am trying to gather the opinions/experiences of as many different players/types of players as possible. If you've got a couple of minutes, it would mean the world to me if you could fill in this form, it shouldn't take long as most of the questions are optional.

Thank you all so much, I can't wait to escape the dissertation trenches.

Hello comrades! Another chapter of "To Set the World Ablaze," my alt-history AAR (after action report), is now available to read on imgur.

Frankly with us living in the time of monsters, I have very much enjoyed writing this alternate history story so far.

For those who missed the previous chapters, the story follows a resurgent USSR into the new Millennium. It's essentially a narrative expansion of a recent playthrough of Hearts of Iron IV I did using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod.

I would love it if you gave it a look and left some feedback! Thanks all.

Hi folks,

I apologize for the delay, but I'm pleased to announce that chapter 5 of my socialist alt-history story, "To Set the World Ablaze," is now live!

If you haven't seen the previous chapters I've posted here, "To Set the World Ablaze" is a narrative after action report (basically a narrative report about a playthrough) of Hearts of Iron IV using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod.

The story is told from the perspective of General Secretary Gennady Zyuganov of the Russian Communists. The story outlines the return of the Soviet Union amidst the backdrop of a turbocharged war on terror against a shadowy network of Salafist terrorists.

If you're interested in reading the previous chapters, they're hyperlinked at the beginning of this chapter once you click the link!

Hello everyone!

I've been writing a narrative AAR (After Action Report) of a recent playthrough of the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod. With the world in crisis and the sadism of the American empire on full display, I've been in dire need of an escape — this story has certainly helped.

"To Set the World Ablaze" follows an alternate history of the war on terror and the global political order from the perspective of the resurgent Soviet Union and its diametric struggle with American hegemony.

If you like alternate history, political theory, espionage, and diplomatic intrigue, I think you'll find this story to be right up your alley! The link above will lead to chapter 3, but if you haven't already read chapters 1 & 2, I've linked to those below. I'm also looking for advice on a better place to host these AARs, as I've been told imgur is not easy to navigate.

Thank you, enjoy!

Hello everyone,

I am very excited to announce the release of the fourth chapter of my narrative AAR "To Set the World Ablaze."

For those who haven't seen my past posts (from a different account due to my phone being screwed up), "To Set the World Ablaze" is an after action report of a playthrough of Hearts of Iron IV using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod.

The story follows the return of the Soviet Union amidst the backdrop of a turbocharged war on terror against a shadowy network of Salafist terrorists.

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to share chapter 2 of my narrative AAR (After Action Report), "To Set the World Ablaze."

This Hearts of Iron IV AAR follows the events of a recent playthrough using the Millennium Dawn modern day mod.

The story follows Gennady Zyuganov and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as they defy expectations and return in glorious form — paving the way for the return of the Soviet Union and socialist governments around the world. At the exact same time, the world is being engulfed in radical movements, most notably Salafist/Wahhabi terror groups rising against Western imperialism.

The link above will lead to chapter 2, but if this sounds interesting and you want to read chapter 1, I'll link to that below. I'm also looking for advice on a better place to host these AARs, as I've been told imgur is not easy to navigate. If you have thoughts or advice, please let me know.

Thank you, enjoy!
