Come to think of it, Radscorpions are a particularly egregious one. Like ok, Supermutants and Brotherhood I can kinda understand thinking "We gotta move these over" since they're iconic. But with Radscorpions It's like, we're in an entirely new environment that should have it's own wildlife...

People tend to think of media as emerging in a vacuum, completely formed from inside the brains of creatives, but this isn't true. A lot of media is the result of conversations with executives, having to limit the scope of ambition due to budgetary or time restraints, post-hoc justifying why...

Either you're misremembering, or you took what Vault City characters said at face value. Vault City was one of the main importers of slaves from the Slaver's Guild. Metzger himself says it's one of the main places he wants to communicate with via radio, and if you're a Slaver, you get access to...

Yeah, adding fixed numbers to population in a fictional setting is often a losing game IMO.

I get the urge for this, and I don't like the guy much either. But like...Don't base your opinions on media on culture war stuff, that's extremely lame. "X person or X group of people I dislike, dislike this so I like it" and vice versa are really boring ways to come to conclusions.

100% I always say Fallout 2 is my favorite, and it's largely because I feel like it's the most Economically interesting - Like take Vault City for instance: A weaker game would have just made them an isolationist society, but Fallout 2 does something more interesting: It makes them actively...

Thanks. I come by every now and then to check in with how things are.

Back in 2016ish it used to be that this is the place people on the Fallout subreddit would tell you to avoid because "It's where all the weirdo fans of the originals who hate the new games hang out" Which means naturally we got our fair share of people coming over to defend the new games, or...

I think what Fallout 1 did well with the Brotherhood of Steel was make them less of an ideology and more of a culture. Like you get the sense that they have some ideals, but these are ambigous, and the game focuses a lot more on their mythologized history, internal politics, and cultural...

Boy I sure do love how anyone who's coming to check out NMA to check out the takes on what's currently one of the most discussed tv shows on right now, is going to have to sift through the "Hollywood is deliberately conspiring to destroy the White Race and Western Civilization" takes Amazing optics

I don't mind the humour of Old World Blues, and I like a lot of the writing, but the overall gameplay of it just feels a bit meaningless. Like, it feels like they had ambitious intentions, but fell flat. Like, I really liked the Stealth Suit segment where you're having to avoid detection. I...

People often invoke death of the author, but I'm going to invoke death of the text: The content of the game is dead, and the correct interpretation is whatever one you experience. Therefore, Dood is canon.

I love Dead Money precisely because of what other people find tedious about it. It gives a certain "Lamb lost in the woods" vibe that nothing else in the franchise gives me. You have to salvage literally everything you have, and wherever you go you're never safe. It's either the Ghost People...

I always hated this quest for this exact reason.

Watching the original Planet of the Apes movies. Just finished Conquest.
