Bethesda has this weird idea of the wasteland where they want it to be like Fallout 1, where it's dominated by roaming bands of raiders and independent towns, instead of 2 and New Vegas, where nations have emerged and politics is actually getting real again. But I guess they don't want to set anything before 2 for some reason, so all their games are set 200 years after apocalypse and people are still finding pre-war food and haven't organised into nations or even tribes. Like in fallout 4 there is no dominant faction in the Commonwealth, and it's not because there are so many factions constantly vying for power, it's because there are no factions before the player shows up.

Far Harbour is a weird exception, and it's easily the best part of fallout 4. The people of Far Harbour and the Children of Atom both have their own unique cultures and the fog gives the island a creepy and oppressive feeling that the rest of the Commonwealth lacks. It's also the only section with skill checks and divergent paths based on your decisions.

There is also the big benefit of much better performance. Loading screens in the original were usually over a minute, special edition they're like 5-10 seconds

Lemme know when you've watched episode 3, because I just watched it yesterday and I think there's some weird class stuff with the Raiders and vault dwellers.

The "fight club twist" doesn't really work, and I think the reason is that the woman Joker hallucinates doesn't really do anything. I mean that's also kind of a hint that she's not real, but the satisfying versions of that plot twist all give important lines to the phantom character and your viewing changes significantly when you learn the truth.

Probably my only problem with the film, this subplot felt like it went nowhere

Really good passage from a really good book. I always have anxiety and impostor syndrome when it comes to organising, I feel like I'm the least educated, least committed, least capable person there. But yeah, what matters is that I'm doing it and making the movement stronger for it

Just had a comment removed on Reddit in less than a minute for pointing out that Israel bombing an embassy is an act of war. Just delete the entire website what the fuck is wrong with them

Okay so just to back up a little bit, WHY did Israel attack an Iranian embassy in the first place? What do they gain from escalating conflict at all?

Fallout 1 and 2 had a lot of the same writers as NV, so if you enjoyed the writing the most, check them out. I've played 4 the most because shoot things with gun and collect loot and build base.

Moana is my favourite Disney movie but I don't remember the politics of it, I just remember that awesome crab and his amazing song

It also felt like a fun mythological adventure which hasn't been that common in movies for a while

West Africa seems suspiciously based this past year. What's the catch where are the CIA
