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!

I agree.

Like, it's been 200 years. Maybe we can move the dusty skeleton out of the corner? Sweep up the rusted cans and empty soda bottles that have been there since before we were born? We can't keep blaming the apocalypse for our messiness!

There will be an effectively infinite supply of poo poo like rusty corrugated sheet metal in construction sites and dumps when 8 billion people get reduced to a few hundred thousand overnight

what other things are probably going to be in infinite supply

porcelain fixtures
really anything relatively robust that's made out of ceramic like dishes; going to be plenty of dishes
stainless utensils, probably be plenty of those floating around
plastic bags, the really thick awful ones particularly that are tough enough to resist mechanical damage
anything made out of metal generally unless you care that it's all corroded and rusted scrap-quality garbage
anything made out of pvc if it's buried, like you will stop finding usable pvc poo poo on the surface after a couple decades because of uv degradation but you'll find usable pvc pipe underground for centuries

The original creators understood that lived in spaces would be maintained. Bethesda has people running road side diner shops with no trade partners, no beds, and pre-war skeletons sitting in the booths.

I was ready to argue there's no way Fallout fans could think that.

Then I read some "Fallout Did Vault-tec start the Great War" posts going back years on reddit. Everyone thinks it was China. 100 people saying it's obvious if China was losing they'd nuke us so we'd have to nuke them first for every 1 "lunatic" arguing Vault-tec had the motivations.

:doom:

Was China even really losing the War? Like America says it was and they get pushed out of Alaska, but the United States is a fascist hellscape so why people wouldn't see it as propaganda is beyond me. My understanding was that the war was provoked by the faction that would become The Enclave and Vault-Tech or maybe just nebulous big business

America is doing no favors to Jewish people by conflating "loving genocide" with said identity. It confuses the issue and it will predictably create actual anti-semitism.

Tim Cain said that China nuked the US because they found out that we were about to engage in biological warfare with the FEV virus.

"Vault-Tec dropped the bombs to make their stock price go up" is a Todd Howard approved retcon that makes no loving sense in typical Bethesda fashion.

me anticipating the 4th fallout game 10 years ago, reading complaints about the series: wow fans of the original fallout games are really passionate about the ways that 3 and New Vegas are flawed and misunderstand the world. guess I'll have to give the first two a try.

me now, hearing about how skeletons should have been picked up by now for the umpteenth time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCjBspxuUmU

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

well I have a sickness where I'm compelled to watch reaction videos and everyone seems to really like it gamer or nongamer.

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

Old World Blues and Lonesome Road really beat you over the head with the idea the Old World is dead and a new world is emerging but old world simpletons like Todd cant understand that
