Yeah that’s about the vibe I’m going for.

Politicians are should not have security, if they are going to have security near them it should only be for the safety of the local environment and those taking actions against non political officials. My biggest problem with Jan 6th is that they were a bunch of filthy fascists and not that they wanted to lunch Congress, frankly speaking it’d be funny and politicians are easily replaceable even the ones I vaguely like.
Human life is cheap and in the case of politicians all but forfeited apon their oaths.

Honestly they aren’t entirely wrong, there’s basically two types of economics financialization which is basically all bullshit and proper economic systems which is things like production, logistics, and services. You could probably burn the entire financialized side of the system down and it’d probably help the overall real economy in the long term hell it’d probably help in the short term if not the immediate.

Also I think there’s still some fun and explore with them, namely with a good/ morally dubious variant. In every game we’ve seen them in it’s quite obvious that the base level personnel have no clue what the Enclave is actually doing, so have fun with that make a faction of these base level guys who survived while the higher ups died make it the battle of Adams AFB from fallout 3. It’d be fun to see them being minutemen like or something because they legit believe in the ideals of Americans without any of the bad because they weren’t poisoned enough by propaganda and exposure to the wasteland helped them chill out.
But yeah they are also a really fun exploration of a remnant government still kicking around. Some other ones for you to look up would be Mount Athos and the empire of Trebizond, both were Eastern Roman remnants with Mount Athos technically still existing.

Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout NV the Nazis may have a different coat of paint but a fascist is a fascist regardless of what face they wear. Weirdly doesn’t apply to Fallout 1 since I think Unity would fall under weird form of Authoritarian Transhuman Collectivism, fuck I’ve started talking theory. In summary kill Enclave and Blòt the Romaboo larpers!
Is it bad that the Enclave is my second favorite faction besides the NCR?

Attacking the satellites directly is rather hard, fucking up their signal and pissing off the FCC is rather easy though.

We do not need anymore sunlight until we figure out how to fix global warming. Personally I’m in the put benign pollutants into the upper atmosphere and make everywhere have forever British weather.
- Comment on Cool Japan 🌸 2 weeks ago:
Generally I think it’s because the Japanese have had continuous cultural interacting with the West for centuries at this point. Everything from Dutch and Portuguese trade during the sengoku jidai, to pirate ronin in the Philippines during isolation, to Japanese communities from Baja Sur to the cascades, and then finally stable connections being made post commodore Perry. In contrast the Chinese have had less than stable connections due to massive cultural changes every couple hundred years including periods of isolation, the collapse of the Ming fucking up trade routes for a time, the Qing being notably more isolationist, the warlord and Republican period being a shitshow, followed by the isolation of the communist period shattering a lot of western interst, it makes for less than stable connections.
Also there’s the whole great firewall of China thing going on which further seperates things in the modern age of the internet, it’s not total separation but it’s enough to be notable. In contrast I have been cussed out by a Japanese person, a Ruskie, an Aussie, and a fucken Peruvian simultaneously while playing games.

Probably, but also half the time it’s someone saying “I wish I could you xyz, but these are better times” and me responding “bet” and most of the time it’s just a rick roll. But sometimes sometimes it’s furry guro or something or it’s goatse.

As a certified nut job I will say this place really reminds me of old school internet in a lot of ways. Sure is there a mild chance that I’ll piss someone off and get DMd furry gurro? Sure. But also lots of folks have become familiar identities on here.
Now if only I could stop getting into arguments with folks about pacifism or more specifically my rejection of pacifism for religious, philosophical, and cultural reasons.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 2 weeks ago:
Honestly adaptive difficulty has basically the inverse issue of fucking with shit when I don’t want it. But there is a subtype of it that I do like, that being thingd like the narrative AI in the Dead Space remake which can do really neat shit to fuck with the player and keep them on their toes. Though for me it just made everything foggy especially that one level where it’s just a bunch of cat walks which I’m pretty sure is already a low light area, seriously I couldn’t see shit and kept getting lost in what amounted to a five foot area.
But yeah doing that for a skilled based game like Mortal Kombat seems… cheap. Like maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure there is a difficulty setting in MK which if that is the case that means the game decides to stop the player of their agency and accomplishment rather than let them learn the boss. Not to say you can’t do adaptive difficulty but as a general rule there’s a good reason it’s so rare, sometimes it’s just fine but I rarely see it.
The game taking into account the players actions and effecting the game though to counter that is fun IMO. Like how high casualty runs in Dishonored make the game noticable harder since difficulty only really effects health, enemy, numbers, and detection rate also it serves the narrative of the story well. Also Adam Smasher tayloring his gear to counter the player which can be subverted to catch him off guard rewarding the player for knowing the world. Or the aformentioned Dead Space narrative AI which apparently decided I’m gonna play Dead Space after the crew of the USG Ishimura had a ship wide Silent Hill themed party.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 2 weeks ago:
Personally I oppose difficulty sliders because I think they are overly broad and stupid, looking at you Bethesda and your lowsy ass health bar padding. Give me more zomboid and owlcat style difficulty setting where I can customize them in all minutiae.
But no seriously fuck difficulty sliders cause 9/10 they do overly broad gameplay things that some of which I may not want. This is coming from a guy who beat Boltgun on its hardest difficulty with the clown vomit filter so it’s not like I can’t enjoy ulta hard difficulty but what some consider ultra hard I may consider annoying as fuck see yet again Bethesda health bar padding. I do like NV 4s hardcore/survival mode though.

This is a mild tangent but I learned how to convert celsius to fahrenheit because of a Codename: Kids Next Store episode that I watched once wherein a character says “30c, 30 celsius that’s like 80 degrees fahrenheit”. Which is honestly not the weirdest thing to learn from but it is my number one.

I’m fighting for my right for survival everyday, because I’m five fucking five and some of you tall fuckers like to put what I’m looking for above my eyesight. Seriously I’m glad my proportions are mildly fucked since I ended up with weirdly lanky arms so I can at least reach shit. Seriously who puts the top ramen on the aisle top shelf, that’s where the fucken weird ass Korean burn your asshole like your getting fucked by Ghost Rider shit is supposed to go.

I have both a 125 and a 90. The 90 is what I was learning on or in my case relearning since it’s not too dissimilar to my old electric bicycle I used until I started driving. The 90 will probably be relegated to proper offroading along electric company and water company roads.

Whomst the fuck tried to use a fae as a substitute for a daemon? It’s called a daemon engine not a fairy engine, there’s a reason we don’t use fae and it’s shit like this and them just inventing new terms of service. Shoddy craft all around, whoever made this needs to return to Zharr-Naggrund and be made into an Infernal Guard.

I think there’s also a factor of WW1 and 2, even well into the depression it wasn’t too uncommon for men to wear somewhat colorful clothes but after WW2 it seems that the only folks using color were pimps and hippies. From there it was simply a matter of industrial clothing not really giving folks an option.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 5 weeks ago:
Genocide is generally considered a direct act against a culture, ethnicity, or religion with the intentions to destroy them in one form or another. For example if I dropped a nuke on say Salt Lake City because fuck Mormons that would be genocide, if I cutoff trade to say Twin Falls Idaho due to resource disputes and mass death occurred that would just be a mass casualty event with human rights violations involved.
It’s a definitional thing and frankly cutting USAID doesn’t quite hit the definition at least without proven intent. Who knows maybe it’ll come out that Musk purposefully fucked with it because he is racist and not just because he is a callous dipshit. That would push it into the genocide category.

Also it seems to have taken a bit for human ethnicities and morphology to stabilize. We absorbed a lot of other humans in Africa to the point that it unironically messed up a lot of early data cause early scientists didn’t think fucked to extinction was a valid form of human expansion.

Which is why I would simply loot and distribute whatever is usable IE lab equipment, research papers, et cetera and then burn down the facility with at least some of the faculty within. My end goal would be to destroy the social control mechanism that the Mormon church uses, if there is no Mormon universities then they have to send them to at minimum a non Mormon one. My point is to do enough infrastructural damage that the Mormon church either dies, loses control, or becomes more moderate.
Mind you I’m mostly focused on the fancy showy shit, pretty hard to be a bloodthirsty jackass when talking about seizing assets and outlawing church owned companies, portfolios, and putting a cap on tithes. Most of the damage that one could do is to break them outside of Utah, but you also need to strike the Utah shit as well to prevent them from going insular bunker mode again and having to do the same thing yet again in 100 years.
