Also Hancock Hearing About Bearskin rugs from the sole survivor

and making a Yao Guai skin rug and the sole survivor being like “uhhhhhhhh”

So I got a rude message after asking about a glitch in Fallout 4. Pretty sure my response is gold (also why do they have the name of a Jem and the Holograms character)

I Wonder What The Countries Other Than China

Are like in Fallout.

I mean they’re not really mentioned aside from the USSR and Canada, we don’t know what’s up there.

I might have something with the CNT winning the Spanish civil war and IDK stuff… I have ideas.

Also Let’s Talk A Little Bit About Fallout And Medieval Europe

It’s a society with a population decimated by the collapse of infrastructure resulting from the collapse of a great (if decadent) civilization.

In the case of Medieval Europe famine and plague swept through as a result of a mini ice age (partially the result of Volcanic activity, which is sort of like an atomic bomb but you know… no one’s fault) and the collapse of the organization of the Roman empire fucking the hell out of international trade.

Fallout it was nukes and corporate greed, but really they’re very similar societies.

People are thinly spread out, harvests are unpredictable and the environment inclement, social order has broken down resulting in vast increases in banditry and tiny groups of armed people going around robbing and plundering and burning, a lot of scientific and engineering knowledge has been lost, hygiene standards suck, there’s a group of people missing bits of themselves who people shun (lepers in medieval europe, ghouls in Fallout), the ruins of the previous civilization are everywhere but its order unreclaimable.

Also reading Foucault and playing Fallout at the same time makes you think about interesting stuff.

Memento goddamn mori.

If You Whine About People Playing Human Hancock

but can’t handle the thought that “no nose, no ears, and the connective tissue issues that come along with being a ghoul (which there are, ghouls have joint problems, that is documented canon) probably means a missing or nonfunctional dick” or can’t deal with the fact that no he’s not solid, bits of him are literally falling off, because ghoulness has a lot of symptoms in common with leprosy you’re a fucking hypocrite, if the only way you can like him as a ghoul is to not think about the actual implications of ghoulness then you’re just obfuscating your need to alter the character.

They are rotting and necrotic, not desiccated mummies. That’s just what they are.

So either stop sanitizing and prettying up the effects of ghoulness or quit whining about other people having harmless fucking fun.

Fallout 4 questions

1. After the apocalypse does everyone forget how to use a broom, or is leaving piles of dead leaves around some sort of decorating idea?
2. Does farming mutfruit take up so much time that you literally don’t have time to nudge the ghoul corpses out of your house, or do something about that 200 year old skeleton just hanging out on the sofa?
3. How come dudes are allowed to wear dresses but not makeup in this game?
4. How do the settlers in Sanctuary Hills spend so much time hammering new panels on to houses without it having any effect?
5. Does no one in this goddamn world know how to maintain a floor?
6. How have John Hancock’s clothes not crumbled to dust? They’re like 400 years old.
7. How did I get seemingly the world’s only dog with hair?
8. So ghoul penises, what’s up with those?
