14·1 month agoalso, like any time a fight breaks out, there’s like 5 kings and other friendly NPCs that just kill the 1 dude who has a pipe they’re trying to batter you with and then they immediately die. the only ‘real’ fight in all of freeside is probs the shady bodyguard tourguide guy who tries to jump you with his boys
but in cold war Regan said my they/them pronouns
42·1 month agoI think lifting millions of LGBT people out of abject poverty has actually massively improved the lives of LGBT people
they really did the followers dirty in that game. as with all things, this is due to the rushed development of new vegas
24·1 month agobasically he is moderately left of centre and vocally stands up for trans people, so that means he’s basically a diehard communist ready to overthrow the british government any day now
I know they have ties with those fascists. but the BBC didn’t need to take Israeli money to run 100 stories over the past 2 years about the fear of refugees and the government doing nothing to stop ‘illegal immigration’. that rhetoric, a decade of ‘hostile environment’ by the tories, the islamophobia of the Blair years, the Murdooc press and their well documented anglo fascism ect that all adds up a lot more than Tommy Robbinson gets to go to Magaluf every year paid for by Israel
islamaphobia is nothing new. the UK riots are genuinely not that surprising. when you feed people hings about small boat migrants and how Islam is at odds with ‘British values’ for 20 years yeah eventually some shit is gonna kick off. during election campaigning Sarmer went on a whole tirade about Bangladeshis. this is pure home grown fascism, we don’t need India or Israel to do it for us, the UK media have been even trying to spin a narraive this was foreign disinfo as opposed to their own fascism

All it took for Ireland to erode its legacy of decolonial struggle was the influence of one black mass murderer not even from Ireland, Barrack Obama
The Free state treatyists have always been the patsies of Anglo imperialism .
as much as I support our boys in green, the restarting of the troubles would more than likely actually damage the republican cause right now, they have a very strong position. Sinn Fein are both the largest party in Northern Ireland, but also the largest party and leaders of the opposition in the Republic. they are using this position to legitimise the provisions within the GFA for a referendum on Irish reunification and have set up a All-Ireland Forum on Unity to bring this about in both halves of Ireland. the armed republican groups which currently exist do not have a unified platform, goal, base, or heading.
8·2 months agoplayed a bunch of fallout London (kinda long)
it was fun to go full on soy point at the things being in the video game that I have grown up around. but first of all, I don’t like how much of the content is focused on lewisham, grenwhich, and canary warf. east london cockney geezer is just overdone, and most the VAs while clearly being british are not cockneys because only guys like my dad who are nearly 70 and were born in Southwark have that accent or their parents moved to Essex post war to get out of slum ridden bombed out London for new towns, so it’s so fucking forced it sounds bad. theatmosphere is way too ‘oi bruv wo u sayin m8’, marmite, tea and crumpets, what Americans online think britain is, without really going deep on actually weird shit in british culture worthy of pastiche. where’s my gammon mob in Millwall worshiping being the worst at football? genuine divine reverence for the monarch? intra european phrenology? there’s not enough actual reflection on this like ‘white picket fence dystopia due to culture’ American fallout has. Britain is fucking weird! we all know this!
I also was kinda sad they talk about the pistols in Camden these kinda 80s anarchists, larping knights in Richmond (ik you can find them elsewhere, but not their main base), and stuff like the science/natural history museums and London zoo are all outside the perview of the map. I can see what they’re going for in a dense map that focuses on this one slice of London, I mean it’s one of the worlds major cities you can hardly have the entire thing with every landmark on 1 map and not have it all squished to shit. it’s already very squished with a 10 minute walk from Canary Warf to Trafalgar Sqaure. it’s expansive, there’s a lot to do, but at the same time being a local I see so much that’s missing. tube stations and tube lines for instance, really could have been a lot more, they don’t even link up or anything! found like 1 Shik character, a few black characters, but they really don’t show the seer volume of ethnic diversity in London, it really is mostly flat nosed geezers down the local. mass immigration to London sarted in the 50s and 60s, this is a core part of near post war culture to London.
quest design is pretty flat. it’s generic fallout 4 go to X place and get me this thing where you have to fight 10 raiders to get it, or just flat out go kill these 10 raiders. there are a couple bangers in there like the British museum. had fun assaulting Tower bridge and the Tower of London with my lee enfield, but it goes to show that this is still mostly the fallout 4 gameplay loop of mostly just go shoot guys, and this is a mid tier sooter at best. not gone crazy with the main quest, but I’ve put a good few hours into it, it as not captured me as much as just exploring bombed out London has. they may have brought back dialouge trees, but most responses either advance the conversation along the lines it was going, or just end it, there’s not exactly role playing and choices in any of this.
difficulty curve is insane. guns are not rare, but ammo is, and enemies are a fucking bullet sponge. you start off with a 10% debuff to health and 10% decrease to damage dealt, but even once you sort that out you still die to a pack of 3 random foxes. I am not playing on survival either this is normal. you get a knife early on that does do a lot of damage, but to sorta lock players into a melee build early game and then have you get 1 tapped if you’re hit? you dont get regular access to some kind of settlement to store your junk and upgrade weapons until a while into the game, so you are stuck with what you have even with all the junk and perks to make better gear accessable. kinda shitty design that seems an over correction for fallout 4 giving you a minigun and power armour 10 minutes into the game.
it’s a free mod with a lot of passion, years worth of work that is something worth being proud of in many respects. when I got to key locations I had no doubt yep that is Trafalgar Square, or Tower bridge, the modeling on these assets is good, as are the clothes on Beefeaters and so on. but, kind of a bit flat? I’ll push through until I get to Westminster and see how that goes, there’s no doubt some weird british monarchy shit going on.
17·2 months agoI respect that Corbyn is a good MP for his constituency and all, and a principled representitive of that constituency. but jesus fuck that man is too tied to his personal loyalty to Labour. why did it take him so long to start and independent campaign? why did he go nowhere with Enough is Enough? (I partly blame Mick Lynch for this too and his ties to Labour) why does he not start some form of wider socialist party with this massive independent socialist MP movement that won 5 seats inculding his own? join the greens or start your own movement, shit or get off the pot to put it lightly
1·2 years agoI did that shit in London from when I was like 7 too to be fair
1·2 years agolingua francas are good imo. they often come about due to hegemonic powers, IE Arabic due to the caliphate, Chinese back in the day, French in the medieval era, Latin in pax Romana for like 1000 years, and English now since the height of British and later American imperialism, which is bad. but, it’s cool it forms this backbone of international communication and I’d imagine that one is probably always gonna be a thing, at least in a global region if not worldwide
tbh I think this is more to do with the tech industry than the games they make. you see this shit in every aspect of tech, from game dev down to just boring office work. tech is an absolutely toxic place for women, ethnic minoities, and anybody who isn’t cis het
ealmart absolutely is a temple to opulence. it’s an endless stream of cheap goods, you can get anything you need there
yeah, walmart represents first world opulence and mass consumption
idk why people think these posts are so hard to understand! they can be obtuse in some of the phrasing, but the concepts tend to be pretty straight forwards
thank you for your service o7
