But I remember people like this during Obama's second term so I don't think it's that new, just increasing and getting worse as the party and government in general hollows out. Your two choices are to stop believing or start believing with the most belief you've ever had.
At least Obama was a historic first and had what some people called charisma.

(The other option for not-quite-disillusioned centrists was to go all-in on hoping that tech billionaires would save the world. That seems to have largely faded since they don't do anything for anybody besides selling luxury products, and the stupidity of Musk in particular was hard to ignore. I imagine he spoiled some other rich people's hopes for establishing a popular cult.)

Lawmakers in California want to double the penalty for protesters who block highways.

a protest that can even be seen from a roadway could slow down thousands of organ transplants. people should be able to protest, but they have to go about it the right way.

Tim Cain (in the membrane) has stated that the nukes were launched by China as a response to America’s biological weapons program creating and using the FTV virus.

Todd Howard and AOC, however, have retconned this.

I watched his review of the show and he seems to really like it and doesn't seem at all bothered by what Bethesda or Amazon changed, like how a healthy well-adjusted individual would be. It was refreshing.

i've heard good things about the show from people who are really passionate about the series. haven't checked it out yet though


cheapshark says a bunch of places have Outer Worlds on sale for like 15-20 bucks rn. it's pretty good! def a recommend from me too. sometimes it feels too... fun-housey, but that's unavoidable given the limited scope of the game they were trying to build

finished it a couple days ago. was a bit down on episode 7, but then the finale pulled it together real well, I thought. enjoyed it quite a bit! walton goggins was a delight. unfortunately it was made by perfidious todd and thus must be brutally destroyed

Idk man the fallout show is good but the franchise is clearly unable to consider anything outside of its premise. fallout 2 and van buren were explicitly designed to show a growth of civilization in the wasteland but that's too complicated for Todd so they just reset everything over and over again

E: wait this isn't the video games thread this is the succ thread I've been bamboozled

If it wasn't about people trying to scratch a living out of a blasted wasteland, it wouldn't be Fallout anymore

It would be, like... Civilization

It annoys me when a post-apocalypse is set centuries in the future but people are still living like it's the post-apocalypse. Where are they even getting corrugated sheet metal to roof their filthy shanty town? You can build better houses out of sticks and mud! The only counterexample I can think of is See, which had a totally silly premise!
