Shaggar posted:the fallout tv macguffin being cold fusion is dumb as hell, but otherwise i enjoyed it. thank u todd yeah it seemed like power was already a solved problem because fusion cores seem to work perfectly fine powering vaults for 200 years? when all the lights in the destroyed skyline turned on at the end it felt like the most pointless "victory" moment ever. I guess fusion cores are supposed to be rare or something I guess but also every BoS suit is using one polyester concept fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Apr 15, 2024 |

i've watched two episodes of fallout and it's so good. absolutely perfect. it's bursting at the seams with fanservice, which usually annoys me because every item is a wink-and-a-nudge with the camera and such, but they're just working all the little details in such that _if you know, you know_ and if you don't know, it's fine. i can't believe that amazon has done such a marvelous job so far i can't wait until little jones is old enough to watch this. i will make him watch it with me and tell him about every single little game mechanic and doodad and so on worked in there. i'm paying my dues now with animal crossing and minecraft, but in a few years it'll be my turn to jabber on about a video game buckle up, buddy in other news, i watched through episode 8 of shogun, and was then very disappointed to find out that there are another couple episodes, and i have to wait for them to air. i though that i'd waited until it was complete to start watching. that said, shogun is really really good so i can't _really_ be disappointed that there's more of it

that part was goofy since they're constantly assimilating people from the outside, so you think there'd be at least as much security there as there is for the quarantine room where Lucy and Max (and presumably all new additions) first drop in. so it's not like they're unaware of the need for security clearance, they just forgot to put some there

Watching the fallout show and loving the set/props, we’re not finished yet but enjoying the story well enough so far; I’m glad they included some of the weirdness and humor of the fallout universe and didn’t focus exclusively on the misery (though there’s plenty of that).

I guess fusion cores are supposed to be rare or something I guess but also every BoS suit is using one idk, the way cores are used and drained implies that efficiency is a crapshoot and remaining capacity is a gamble. there's also no way to replenish them in the games* iirc, so the knowledge and process to make them is presumably lost *(fo76 not withstanding? being the earliest game, the knowledge could be lost by fo1) on the other side, fo4's Mass Fusion's work was in large-scale reliable fusion. the result was never deployed, which is part of the main story faction quests. depending on your choice, the brotherhood could have it by the time the prydwen returns in the show

I really liked the fallout show but it’s almost impressive how much disdain they show towards the original games. I get that bethesda is the money maker but it all just feels spiteful. Big fan of the vaults in this one. I thought vault 4 would be a generic evil one and was pleasantly surprised by the gag. Vault co being moustache twirling evil and dropping the nukes sucked but it got us more waltor goggins screentime so I’ll tolerate it

I loved fallout 1 and 2 as a kid but haven’t played them in 20 years probably, but I’m reading old docs and the vaults being social experiments (for example) goes back to the original games, it just wasn’t as big a plot point as it is now Vault tec corp morphing from “the company that made the vaults” to “the company that controls America” is a shift I agree but what else?
