While I do understand moving isn't simple, costs money and maybe you have family you care about that really doesn't prevent me from thinking less of you as a person. If you're wondering "is x wastelands" does your state tend to be ranked high when looking at maps of bad things? Do you interact with roving road gangs trying to steal your resources daily? (cops don't count). Are you wearing shoulder pads and/or spikes?

I think owning a dune buggy would be pretty cool.

Welded on armor plates are optional.

I don't think you should treat safety features as optional.

edit: Although an argument could be made the extra speed gained by not having the armor plates is better to have.

It's pretty simple you pick any metric that most people would consider bad and you find a map measuring it per capita. Gun violence, teen pregnancy etc. The ones that tend to have more of the bad metrics and less of the good ones are wastelands. The ones that tend to have more good metrics and less bad ones aren't. To simplify New England and the West Coast aren't, everything else is probably at the very least suspect.

Isn't every land, technically speaking, a "waste land" because it is built upon eons of earthworms making GBS threads the very topsoil that people built upon :thunk:

Yeah I was tempted to make an exception for New Hampshire but I'm not sure they qualify as wastelands. It might not be too far gone to write off although, live free or die.

I'm not a wastelander but my uncle helps attach cages, spikes, plate armor, etc to wasteland vehicles in exchange for canned goods and my dad let me help out at his shop one time when my mom was out of town and it was actually really chill

The cold wastelands are superior, as roadkill and other carcasses keep for a long time.
Plus, you can store water in ice caches.

Driving past it for the first time my brother and I could only think of that movie with Val Kilmer(?) and the character with the nose rotted off from snorting so many drugs.

It all made sense.

"We should stop if we see a cafe!"
"No"
"Yeah! We should!"
"No"
"Um, actually you are right."

Thank god we had a full tank of gas.
