galagazombie posted:“Actually the outside world in [fictional setting] is doing great and is just ignoring the crazies.” Is tied for first place with “The main character is dying and the whole series is just their coma hallucinations as they bleed out/succumb to cancer.” in the contest for least original, laziest, and most completely being unable to understand story themes “fan theories”. Excuse me those 'coma hallucinations' are part of the Bardo Thodol

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:what other movies is this applicable to other than The Village? not a movie but it reminds me of a Christopher Priest book where the city is on a continuously-constructed railroad going <1mph and following a wandering radiation field that makes everyone fuckin nuts but it powers the city tech. it makes them have a weird perception of time and physics and their culture is super hosed up because of it. you find out near the end that everyone else is just living normally in a post-postapocalyptic Earth. eventually the city gets to the Atlantic Ocean and they're like "we can't make a bridge this big" and I forget how it ends, it kind of sucked. like 99% of magical realism, neither the prose nor the plot pay off the premise's promise e: I didn’t mean to do alliteration and I’m sorry e2: I added another word to it to make it moreso. couldn't help myself indigi has issued a correction as of 23:07 on Mar 7, 2024 |

No one has bothered cleaning anything up at any point during those 300 years See the real magic trick is that the junkie raiders made the copper pipes disappear but replaced the walls, and also set up the skeletons to be sitting in party position wearing cool sunglasses or doing gay stuff in the bathtub

brugroffil posted:I did the "do all the side plots" in FO3, stumbled on the gas station and accidentally skipped like a third of the main quest I feel like this is practically the universal fallout 3 experience. Which honestly I think is pretty cool. Open world games should have the consequence of being able to bumble through half the plot like Mr Bean if that's where your wandering takes you

DaysBefore posted:There's two hundred years between the bombs and Fallout 4 but yes, they have no idea what time is and think radiation is like an evil wizard spell that curses the land. Other games are better about it and show plenty of nature coming back just with a few localised very bad spots. Probably still totally wrong but also; I don't care. Nobody does lol isn't that just regular fall weather in new england tho? Radiation in Fallout is just Tiberium anyways.

Complaining about the buildings remaining standing for “too long” and similar complaints is another form of media illiteracy, missing the point, and the unhealthy mindset that stories only exist as things meant to be intellectually “defeated” to prove how cool you are. Fallout radiation is very explicitly 50’s B-movie radiation and the Nuclear Apocalypse runs on 50’s B-movie rules. Besides for you sticklers it’s true in-universe that the East Coast got hit way harder than the West, hence easily explaining why the East Coast is still in Mad Max mode while the West Coast isn’t even post-apocalyptic anymore.

Even in Bethesda Fallouts the “normal” people are living in dingy but still relatively reasonable dwellings.
