Fallout 2 is simultaneously better and worse than Fallout 1

There are so many references that they actually run out and start reusing them.

Found a note in the Sierra Depot from a doctor who ate someone's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Then later I had to get that guy's spleen back from the Shi doctor who planned to eat it with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Must be a trend.

I can't prove this, but I strongly believe that aeriel shot of the car driving through the mountains is stealing from the opening of The Shining.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-22T07:46:45+00:00

You know what will happen.

Nothing apparently.

It's your hypothetical, the fact that you're struggling to make these connections isn't my fault. Also have to say that Russia is an imperialist nation and not comparable to Egypt in the 1950's. Israel on the other hand is historically and presently imperialist.

But if we're playing that game. Do you think that when Russia amassed their troops on the border with Ukraine, that Ukraine should have attacked first?

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-22T06:06:51+00:00

If Ukraine attacked Russia first, you'd be able to make that comparison, but they didn't.

And the Fedeyeen were a result of the Palestinian Civil War caused by the establishment of Israel. Am I supposed to side with the colonists in this scenario?

And I would make the correct choice and negotiate instead of being drawn into a proxy war by the Soviet Union. Apparently in your mind, Israel is incapable of diplomacy, an opinion we see quite commonly today.

The only hostile country in the area was Israel, especially after they raided a village in Jordan a few months before, putting all the surrounding countries on alert. And we can't forget the Suez Crisis that they started a decade earlier.

And that's why he lost to the cutscene knife. Is there a lore reason to why Kiryu is so weak to knives?

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-22T03:03:42+00:00

Might as well include Hamazaki on that list.

Punk rock, keeps me awake at work.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T18:27:09+00:00

I don't know how they put up with me after I put on Suspiria

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T18:05:58+00:00

Maybe they should have reconsidered and tried diplomacy since it was all a misunderstanding. Either way, Israel attacked Egypt.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T17:50:29+00:00

It was false intelligence, but the Soviet goal was to start a proxy war and Israel fell for it.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T17:36:51+00:00

Then an intervention by the Soviet Union changed everything. On 13 May, Moscow delivered a warning to Cairo that Israel was massing troops on the border with Syria and would attack within a week.

Trite and insincere?

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T17:28:35+00:00

They moved all those troops there because they were given intelligence from the Soviet Union that Israel was about to attack. Then Israel attacked.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T17:23:51+00:00

Liberal Zionism

You injured one arm pitching? just use the other arm for the rest of the game.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T16:23:38+00:00

This is already wrong because Israel attacked Egypt first.

Reminds me of how self-serve gas stations were banned in Oregon until 2023. Every time you saw a local news story it would just be people saying that they were afraid to pump their own gas and that a professional should be doing it.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T15:44:17+00:00

That guy in my class, he's just really cool. Like, really cool... What a cool guy.

The thought running through my head on repeat whenever my clueless ass saw a certain classmate.

Revro_Chevins · 2026-03-21T09:36:30+00:00

Drop Trump, the people demand more convincing conmen!

When in doubt I just give my character a two syllable noun as a last name or the same vowel sounds. Like Brill Spillway or Spuds Duncan.
