This Cleanup Woman thing just shows how individuated and alienated people are, that they can't conceive of doing something kind for a loved one without a ledger and guarantee of future payoff.

Or put the slightest thought into how other people's problems come to exist.

The problem even comes from how boys aren't really raised so much as kept alive and vaguely presentable to adulthood.

did u know supermechagodzillas been arguing that mace windu changes his mind from just arresting palpatine to trying to kill him because when he enters the room he just thinks palpatine is hitler but quickly realizes over the course of their conversation that palpatine is actually satan

i thought that was very interesting

Iirc Vault-Tech launching a nuke to drum up business and setting off the nuclear exchange was in the script of the unmade Fallout movie.

fallout nuke war was always meant to be vague as a commentary of doesn't matter who started it, nukes bad. China and America were in an increasingly escalating war due to oil and vault tech was just a generic company and probably just a government front (I don't care to dig out the fallout bible right now). I hate that todd and his lovely writer guy turned fallout into this goofy look out evil scientists doing whacky wild psychotic experiments!

Wasteland is technically the superior IP, but fallout quite literally changed my life.

Vault Tech controlled the government more than the other way around lol, end stage Commonwealth was pretty much corporate feudalism complete with many captains of industry setting up their own kingdoms. Strong themes of megacorps pushing to escalate the wars because it made them so much money, just like the Nazis.

GURPS aside, I assume the Fallout team must have been into overcomplicated 80s milsim RPGs, what with all the calibers and prototype guns.

Very likely, though that's just a common nerd thing too. And it's clearly a point of appeal for a lot of people.

Was lol in another thread that someone was complaining about WW2 era guns showing up in the future when that's absolutely in line with the games.

Similarly explaining how the nuclear war actually started and who shot first completely ruins the broader point that it doesn't matter: whoever started the MAD chain and whatever reasons they had for it literally do not matter because the result was same regardless.

Even Mothership Zeta understood that and had characters discuss it in universe, no one knows who started it (and also hinted that the aliens might have, lol) and no one is considered to have won.

Yeah, I get the vibe it's absolutely meant to be people going through the motions of suburban life as the world is visibly fraying around them, nuclear war is treated as a given inevitability, they're surrounded by increasingly shrill and aggressive jingo and basic necessities are getting more and more out of reach while fancy toys are dangled as distractions. The shallow facade is the point.

No, it's been implied that the US government assumed it must have been China, but there have been clues heavily implicating Vault-Tec for a long time.

I think it's safe to say this was always the canon interpretation, just hidden behind layers of in-game propaganda and historical revisionism.

Edit: A valid interpretation anyway.

And going by the hints China would be entirely justified in that there were literally American boots on the ground in Beijing.

Pretty much the only reason liberals actually hate trump so much is because he offends them aesthetically, including by proudly enjoying things that are only meant to be for uncouth poors. He knows this and plays it up on purpose to piss them off and make them look like the insufferable snobs they are.

Except that in the 2nd movie we know that the echidnas created the master emerald and were using it for military expansionism (or at least implied). And in the first movie they kill an unarmed owl with a child in literally the first 5 minutes. I guess maybe Wendy is referencing history post-1947?

Edit: I was gonna say the comics are better, but then remembered Knuckles in those is a genetic experiment where his dad irradiated Knuckles' egg with chaos emerald rays (?) plus other echidnas are doing weird dimensional stuff.

The comics are completely insane and I hope Penders sues Paramount and gets wrecked when they actually show up to court

Yeah, probably, in which case the Party's not long for this world. If there were enough of these people and they were capable of building a coalition bigger than a cocktail party, Warren would be president.

Nobody is really a member of the Party because of the way American politics works, but I'm gonna say that the Party is in the process of shedding people who more-or-less instinctively assumed that they're aligned with the Democrats even if they're not super happy with them. It's a vicious circle where the home team mentality of who still consider themselves Of the Democratic Party become even more obnoxious.
