She had no real purpose and they didn’t even give her a comeuppance in the end?

They also granted her super strength for some reason

I hated the ending except for Hopper and Joyce moving to Montauk. Nice little nod to the original name and setting of the series.

Regime change in a country opposing globalism is...anti-globalist?

Hey if men can be women and Liberty can be fascism why can’t anti globalism be globalism?

People are also forgetting that while there may be unforeseen negatives in the future, it was also the morally correct action in addition to whatever USA strengthening outcomes drove the decision.

Sometimes it’s ok to do the right thing even when it’s the most beneficial for you.

So, basically, we're looking a range of occurrence of between the year 2325-3325.

Incorrect. Some models are imminent. Some suggest 10-20 years. Some suggest imminent to 300-400 years.

2025 + 300 =2,325 last time I checked

He isn’t “incorrect” - the numbers match

In the 70s, science told my parents that the oceans would be boiling by now based on their “modeling”

We then were told that planes would fall out of the sky 1/1/2000 based on models and predictions

The world was ending in 2012 when the Mayan Calendar rolled over and I have yet to see a serpent god gliding over to consume my children

Pretty sure we were recently told that we would all be fighting over gasoline like fricking Mad Max by a date a few years ago or some shite.

Also, didn’t CERN rip a hole in space time and release demons that only used their unprecedented opportunity to make us all collectively disagree on when and where Nelson Mandela died?

Let’s not even talk about the “models” used for the Covid debacle lol

What about the solar storms they tell us will kick off the apocalypse every few years and then everyone can still talk about them online?

What about the “possible” spaceship that was supposed to arrive recently or some shite?

The point is that they do not know. Educated guesses are fine and dandy but “science” has a pretty bad batting average over the entire span of its short existence when it comes to stuff like this.

Furthermore there’s nothing we can do on the off chance that any of this shite even happens.

By the way, there are models that suggest nothing is happening and that nothing will happen.

wish they would make Bioshock into a show.. now that would be epic.. thats the best game ive ever played with the most original story

---

I would definitely watch that. Mass Effect would be another good one. Red Dead Redemption is a no brainer as well imo. I believe Far Cry is already in motion too.

I’d imagine with the success of Fallout, The Witcher and The Last of Us there will be more to come where serious and talented people / studios get involved. There’s a huge opportunity in games. I couldnt keep watching the Halo show but it had fairly high production quality. I just didn’t like it.

Its an enjoyable show but at times can be a bit on the nose with their anti capitalist rhetoric. The way they represent the factions is pretty interesting.

I understand the virtue signaling here but as someone who’s played every fallout game at least once through, I can tell you that I’ve never seen a show or a movie stay so true to a video game as Fallout. That rhetoric has been in the game / universe for about 30 years now.

I’d describe myself as a Fallout super fan so I understand I might be biased but nothing in the show has bumped me as being “shoehorned” in for some ulterior motive by the show runners thus far. I’m on S2e2. Fallout has literally always had political and sociological themes running under the somewhat whacky universe. It’s part of what makes the game series so compelling. Just wait if they get deep on the Enclave and Super Mutants - or if they bring the Institute into the mix.

Again I understand the sentiment but they aren’t creating those ideas out of whole cloth

That’s really a chicken / egg type question isn’t it?

I only played New Vegas once so some of the Easter eggs are a little blurry to me.

The Dinosaur, however was not. And it was badass
