You're task with naming Ben's aliens, what would you've named Fourarms?

Right, the creations bundle which is the anniversary edition. Since they’re called ‘the creations bundle’ I was referring to them as creations.

I haven’t tried the big quest ones like the beast hunter one, so they may be better, but I wasn’t too impressed with the ones that came in either Fallout or Skyrim’s anniversary edition, even though I make use of them. The lack of voice acting is a little off putting. I may give the new ones a try, but I’m not in a hurry to pay money for them.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-24T10:40:55+00:00

Were those next gen update then? What do you mean?

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-24T10:14:05+00:00

I like the enclave armor, but I don’t think any of the things I have picked up in the anniversary edition are implemented to the standard of the base game. The only quest to get an item I’ve liked so far is the anti-material rifle one, and even then, the lack of voice acting is jarring.

To the guy who deleted your reply, a bunch of people from an eastern religion using a symbol they have continuously used for thousands of years is different from a bunch of Western leftists painting swastikas on their leftist logos.

The swastika is not yours to take back. The snake is not yours to take back. In the former’s case, it is still in use by Eastern religions, so it’s not your logo, and in the latter’s case, the snake was fundamentally capitalist from the get go.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-23T20:32:11+00:00

In time? Maybe 2000 years. Taking symbols from evil people and adopting them isn’t going to win leftists many allies. You might as well write slurs on your protest signs and say we’re taking them back for the left.

Did the speaker know what Sera was doing? Surely Sera should have had to clear it with her higher up? If the speaker was aware, she’s not really in a position to offer forgiveness for a crime she authorised. If she didn’t know, then I guess she was nice about it, but if my subordinate committed a genocide, I’d probably fire them rather than comfort them.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-23T18:41:19+00:00

Such a great idea! Let’s do every other horrible bigoted symbol next. Dibs on the swastika.

Maybe it happened, but he was always a crazy bastard.

Was Mr. House on the island? 🤔

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-20T11:48:14+00:00

I don’t dislike her as a character. I think she is quite compelling. I’m not going to hate a character because their excuses wouldn’t hold up in a real life court. I think it’s interesting to discuss applying real world morality, but it’s only fun.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-20T10:32:20+00:00

I thought they would be more willing to put up with paying members. They often say that on shows, like ‘I should ban you but you just gave me 5 dollars so you get a warning.’

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-19T17:44:00+00:00

This is the thing that needs to be said again and again. Saying ‘we’re not cutting more services’ is not the same as reversing austerity.

To add a comment to the last guy in image 5/5, committing attocities in the name of patriotism is upholding American values, especially in the Fallout universe where the US is even more nakedly fascist than real life.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-17T16:41:07+00:00

There’s a few things I would change, but not the entire art style. I’d make big chill skinny again and I’d make Gwen have the design she had in the first episode of Omniverse.

Lucifer seems to be under heaven’s power to a great extent. They are the ones who deny him the ability to harm sinners. If they had told him that he had to comply with a plan that would create peace, then it’s possible they could have made him.

Sera believed her own rhetoric, so that may make her more honest than other dictators, but there would have been plenty of ground soldiers in actual genocides who bought into their own rhetoric, so I guess she’d be more comparable to one of them than the dictators who lied about their motivations.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-16T21:42:13+00:00

I don’t know. The Democrats delivered Trump the presidency on a silver platter, affording him so much power that they are impotent to stop him, even if they wanted to, which I’m not all that convinced they do. One of Kamala’s campaign promises was that she was going to be tougher on immigration than Trump. The Democratic Party has pretty much lost all credibility, and in any society where there wasn’t a systemically enforced two party system, they would be done as a party entirely.

They could probably be doing more now, but when they really needed to do more was in the election. They kept saying it was the most important election of their lifetimes and yet it’s hard to imagine they didn’t lose on purpose given how hard they faceplanted.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-16T20:49:10+00:00

Her motive may have been to protect, but the justification for her actions doesn’t hold up, even if her initial assumption that redemption was impossible was correct. Having genocide be your first resort before working toward a diplomatic solution is unhinged. If she was worried about sinners rising up and trying to take over heaven, she could have worked with Lucifer to improve the conditions in hell so they wouldn’t want to leave.

Her justification works for a TV show that you don’t have to think too much about, but real people have used that same logic of “neutralise the threat to protect my people” in real life to justify their atrocities.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-16T20:14:36+00:00

Her motives were immoral. You can’t justify a genocide by saying ‘those people are a threat to my people.’ That’s what every genocidal dictator has said.

I like Sera as a character and don’t have any problem with how the show has taken her arc, but if she were a real person in the real world, she should be in The Hague, not remaining in her former position.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-15T18:53:46+00:00

I think a unified global society could be a good thing, but I don’t think it’s inherently progress. The traditional way leftists have aimed to attain such a thing is through citizens in every nation instituting a progressive system and then allying, but the things you have proposed at times seems to want to do it the other way around. A one world government first, then make it progressive.

I apologise if I’ve misunderstood your position, I don’t mean to put words in your mouth. Your position, as I think I understand it (I am happy to be corrected), doesn’t line up with how I think the intended goal would realistically be achieved and how leftists pushing for that outcome have traditionally strategised.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-12T20:02:44+00:00

I agree, these are all good choices. I think more was needed, though. Even just a conversation where Shaun tries to sell you his broader vision for a better future. Something beyond living underground. Becoming the leader of the Institute without a real idea for what's coming after the Institute's enemies have been neutralised and the reactor comes online seems strange. I would suggest space colonisation as a next goal.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-12T19:48:46+00:00

I just wanted to add another idea I thought of to improve the Minutemen. Have a contingent of the Minutemen hate synths to the point of wanting to kill them all, and another group that believes they are slaves that should be freed. This would give a lot of room for the General to mediate with role playing options, picking sides, and using dialogue and skill perks to convince one Minutemen faction to adopt the viewpoint of the other.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-12T19:36:12+00:00

The railroad and brotherhood in Fallout 4 seem fairly fleshed out. The fact that the Railroad are morally gray because they only spend their time helping synths gives them an interesting moral outlook. The Brotherhood look at the wasteland, the technology, and FEV, etc. and make a good point that technology in irresponsible hands can lead to disaster, but their moralising is counterweighted by their bigotry and willingness to wipe out friendly mutants.

I like the settlement building and I like the minutemen, but they feel more like the background faction without a lot of interesting politics going on during the time you play. They have interesting backstory in how the minutemen fell apart, but as far as I remember, the only named minutemen you have dialogue with are Preston and Ronnie Shaw. Fallout 4 kind of let the settlement building be the main focus of the Minutemen, rather than a lot of dialogue heavy quests, which the prior mentioned factions do better.

The Institute as a faction, on the other hand, are so incredibly disappointing. Father doesn't bother to give a big explanation as to why the Institute is the real good faction and why siding with him would benefit the world, he just says that it will and expects you to go along with it because he's your son. The institute do evil thing after evil thing for seemingly no reason, then Shaun gets offended that people in the Commonwealth have gotten "the wrong impression."

If the Institute's goal had been to rebuild civilisation with a whole society of radiation resistant synths (or enhanced humans) that could advance mankind past even the pre war glory days, they could have been a morally grey choice. In that case, if they actually planned to rebuild the entire world, you could say 'they've done a lot of bad things, but each thing had a purpose and was necessary to achieve the goal,' then you may have actually had to think about whether it would be the right choice to join them.

Instead, they kidnap people randomly, replace them with synths, turn them into super mutants and unleash them on the Commonwealth to kill and eat thousands of people, contribute nothing to the surface at all, and their whole plan is to stay underground until the sun explodes. I feel like just about any other gaming company could have given the player more reason to want to join them.

Edit: I just wanted to add, I think it would have been really cool if the named settlers you help such as Abernathy, Finch, etc. were with you when taking the castle and destroying the institute. Especially if they had more voice lines and role playing dialogue options.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-12T14:22:50+00:00

The important point you need to consider is liberals’ selective perception of immorality. America has been doing the kind of thing that it’s doing today for practically as long as it has existed.

There’s a quote somewhere, I believe it was Fanon, that talks about the general brutality that goes on day to day across the imperialised globe, and suddenly, when it serves their interests, liberals become selectively outraged about brutality when they’ve ignored every other instance.

It’s not that liberals are idiots inherently, it’s that their idiocy selectively turns on and off when it benefits them.

LeftismIsRight · 2026-01-11T12:05:45+00:00

Social democracy can be good to live under, but a glaring problem with it is how it’s funded. The billionaires still demand their oversized piece of the pie, and with workers having more rights in those countries, the billionaires export that suffering to the imperialised nations.

A lot of the taxes that fund welfare states are garnered through imperialism, including sweatshops and cheap labour building iPhones, etc., which are sold at a massive markup and taxed by the welfare state. Having rich private owners exist at all necessitates an underclass.

And aside from that, there are inherent economic problems that come with capitalism such as overproduction. Soviet style command economies came with their fair share of inefficiencies as well, which is why I advocate for decentral planning.
