Seriously, how can someone say something this controversial yet so brave?

My personal take on that is yeah, their technology was overall too inefficient to run on the limited resources of uranium (consider also that Fallout runs on the assumptions of the 1950s, and uranium was thought to be a lot more scarce then), oil was running out, and fusion was not yet available...

No, it's just becoming a meme to pretend that Nate "The Rake" was some sort anti-leaf extremist who only had the motivation to kill more Canadians even throughout Fallout 4. Which suddenly makes the game a lot more fun.

Also, didn't the Master experiment with splicing animals and humans together as well? That's where the centaurs came from. Surely he'd be interested in a genetics lab vault.

I think "THE MESSAGE" guy didn't comment on it because it all didn't feel that much on the nose. He mostly comments on this sort of stuff when it feels it's forced in and makes the story worse. Here it doesn't really add or detract anything since it's all in there without specific purpose. Like...

It's funny how nobody mentions that there is also a warrant for the Hamas leader. It's just posturing, really. Nobody will be arrested (well, Sinwar probably will be).

I've been listening to the new song that Orgone released, ahead of their new album. The ten years since the last album and the two or so years since the first announcement of this have not been wasted in the slightest. Already my album of the year.

I said nothing about realism, I said something about characterisation. House in NV often talks about probabilities, predictions, and calculations. It's his big thing. But the first thing he says in the show is that he doesn't deal in probabilities, he wants certainty. Also, sure, his insider...

It was also super in-character for the guy who was all about probabilities in NV to be "Uuuuh don't give me probabilities gimme certainty".

Dunno, the T-51 looks visually quite different from the T-45, and the T-60 looks more like a beefier T-45 than a T-51. Maybe the T-51 was the proper power armor, but then they went and tried for cheaper mass production with the T-60 and took many elements from the T-45, including bad welds. The...

There is still a bit of a gap between "parody of a greedy defense contractor" and "nigh omnipotent company that controls the fate of the world and who does shit so evil it isn't even cartoonish anymore". Like, a parody of a greedy defense contractor will do everything to get a contract, they...

To be fair, vaults have been evil labs since Fallout 3. Hahaha, Gaaaryyyy

Didn't stop it from being the main big evil plot of the series twice already.

For the T60 PA, I also like how they're just glossing over the T51, which was never said to have that weakness, and instead brought the weakness back in the T60. It does not make much sense.

Were the city dwellers stunted, or were the grenadiers particularly tall? It was and still is common that particularly representative guard soliders are selected for height. While today the King's Guard grenadiers' height requirement is down to 5'10, it used to be 6'2. Can't just take a...
