Old Soviet joke:
Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?
One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

Destroying the New California Republic just so the TV show could have a world of shit to play in was an ass decision, especially when there were still other parts of America they could have used instead.
It wasn't a good story decision and was transparently just so the world could remain shit.

If the world of Fallout is never allowed to evolve, if the player choices are never allowed to make the world better, then really there's no point to any of it going forward.
If you give the players choices and then spend millions to make a show that shits on them, your games are worthless.

My worry, especially with the Ghoul Kings mentioned, is that they'll say "We won't say what ending happened, but it didn't matter because the whole place got nuked somehow.".

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

perhaps spending the last several decades valorizing people who willingly decided to join the military so they could go to other countries and murder brown people as "heroes" was a mistake actually
Genuinely one of the most evil things I’ve ever read, and these dudes are American citizens who went to Gaza for the chance and joy of killing

Here at Bethesda, our re-releases of decade plus RPGs are not lazy cash grabs suckering you into paying over and over for the same shit. We do it purely because we enjoy laughing at the stupid sad faces of modders when we break their shit yet again. Lol and furthermore lmao.
