Do you think HOI4 increasing your IQ?

It doesn't look like it, just look at half the posts on this forum.

imagine what they would be like if they didn't play HOI4

I understand that one of the best predictors for a high IQ is coming from a wealthy socio-economic background.

You are correct that there is a statistical association between IQ and SES. However, your interpretation is dubious at best. An equally plausible interpretation of that finding is that SES is a function of IQ and that IQ is hereditary.

depends on your measure for "better". for iq, probably not, because neither will provide very much benefit

forums are better for storing/referring to information/arguments/etc. discord is better to spam memes or have a conversation with a small group of people in real time (text or especially voice). they are different tools and like any other tool they are also frequently misused.

Real time social apps have more negativity!
It's waste of time!

0 Benefits unless you have real friends in private server!

My experience of HOI4 comes from all of the random players getting lost and ending up in the AOD or DH forum and asking "Wait...I have to move all my units myself?!?! Does the game not move them automatically?". This is how I imagine HOI4 boosts one's IQ:

I am glad to made u all laugh, But no clue why u guys focused too much on "IQ" thing! I mean something good for our mind just like chess!

Victor, I mean hardcore players who unblock insane achievements in the game in very early time or a new way , This is absolutely a genius thing.

IMO it's harder than chess!

i find this varies enormously by community in question

not much hostility or negativity in places like some of the dom 5 servers, ftl multiverse mod server etc. and small groups of friends are great there too like you say. there are so many, so if one is toxic you can just not go there

Hoi realy isnt that complex game as everybody is making it to be, i find regular rts games to be much more knowlege intensive then hoi. Only positive if you want to look at it that way is that it is time spender, when im on job and nobody is ariving i just play Hoi or Civ 5 over steam remote play to kill time.

If anything, playing HOI4 has reduced my intelligence by distracting me from more intellectual activities.
