Light Yagami is the protagonist of Death Note. He discovered a notebook that lets him kill anyone by writing their name in the book (technically he needs to mentally picture their face too).

After the debate, everyone in the administration was bragging about Biden being alert from 10am-4pm. It just shows that he’s been minimally involved for years.
I saw it in person! Lots of fun!
OpenMW still needs the files from Morrowind.
One thing to consider is that the far right actively recruits in gamer circles. They are very good at slowly exposing angry guys to more and more extreme views. There is very little comparable on the left.
Every country in the world is squaring off with alliances. Starting to feel very World War I.
I emulate a lot of old games on my Steam Deck. It’s not too hard, but requires some work. I will do the work for non-Steam stores if/when there is something I want to play from one. However, I suspect not releasing your games on Steam will really limit your reach. My guess is that most people won’t go through the effort to get itch.io games work on thier Deck.
Why do reactionaries always make us look so awesome?
Reviews have said that it’s good, but not fantastic. 8/10 seems to be about the average of review scores.
I agree.
I do think that the joke is very funny, but only because some people are upset that their favorite faction is gone, which is not in itself a problem. However, it is a symptom of the problem.
Fallout is about a lot of things: it’s a parody of 1950’s American culture, it’s a survive-the-post-apocalypse-using-violence fest, and it’s a reflection on what is America. The first two are fun, cathartic, and easily accessable. This is why Bethesda always brings them to the forefront.
Asking what is America is harder, both to write and consume. The New Vegas factions did a great job of showing how different people would try to rebuild America. Bethesda is only interested in the most villainous in Vault-Tec (who spent centuries experimenting on people) and The Enclave (a group who wants to re-conquer America and run a capitalist, racist, fascist state). The show depicts the New California Republic as a utopia. Whereas in the games it is a deeply flawed democracy. On the one hand, it provided social services, banned slavery, and fought against the brutality of groups like The Enclave and Caesar’s Legion. On the other, it forced independent farmers to become wage slaves and expanded to steal resources while claiming to spread freedom and democracy.
The tagline of Fallout is: “War never changes”. In my opinion, this is supposed to mean that the new countries that arise after the destruction of the USA will just repeat the same mistakes; regardless of what they copy from America’s libertarian, imperial, fascist, or capitalistic tendencies. The bigotry continues. The resource wars continue. The destroying lives for personal profit continues.
Bethesda seems to think that “war never changes” means that the Wasteland never changes. Overturned cars sit in the streets just outside of a city of 35,000 which has thrived for 90 years. As you mentioned, in 200 years no one had built a house fancier than leaning scrap metal. Any counties or city-states created by other writers need a plot reason to no longer exist. That way the world can forever stay in a Walking Dead-esque state filled with monsters and people who became even more monstrous.
What I don’t understand is why Bethesda keeps making each new entry further along in the timeline. If they want to tell the-world-just-ended stories, just set it soon after the bombs fell in a different city. It seems so simple to me and it fixes the nothing-has-changed-in-200-years problem.
A notable difference between the non-Bethesda titles (1, 2, New Vegas) and the Bethesda ones (3, 4, and the show). Is the willingness to allow for large factions/countries the grow and flourish. Fans of the non-Bethesda titles like these countries and factions and that the world is moving forward from the bombs dropping. Bethesda tends to keep the world stuck in a place where only small towns exist.
In the Fallout universe, The New California Republic was a country that covered southern California and also had bases out to Nevada and Oregon which had existed for about 90 before the start of the show. Shortly before the start of the show, its capital city (Shady Sands population 35,000) was nuked, resulting in the collapse of the country.
Additionally, at the end of the show we see that New Vegas–once a populous city full of lights and casinos-- stands in darkness.
Fans of the non-Bethesda games are upset about the show sidelining the counties/factions. The post is a joke which shows that in actual history, counties appear and disappear, expand and contract, and thrive and wither all of the time.
Yeah Christians in the 1990s–and a bit after-- got pretty upset about “damn” and “hell”. Kids used to say “H E double hockey sticks”.
The vast majority of South Korean 19 - 34 year olds describe the country as hell.
“The survey found that 79.1% of young women and 72.1% of young men want to leave Korea, that 83.1% of young women and 78.4% of young men consider Korea “hell””
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Hopefully Crunchyroll or someone buys RWBY and finishes the series
First time through a Persona game is always have-fun and do-what-you-feel-like time. NG+ is for maxing everything out.
26 + 6 = 1
Marx Madness is a good one!
Adding IPv6 would cost them money. Probably a relatively small amount of money, but still money. They get nothing from that investment. As long as they have IPv4 addresses to assign to their customers, there’s basically no demand for IPv6 addresses. NAT and UPnP work fine for just about everyone. I think the only way we see serious IPv6 adoption in North America and Europe is government mandates.
