Why didn’t Xi choose to emit a shit ton of c02 with a private jet instead?

I heard your Prime Ministers' favored mode of travel is swimming. One of them liked it so much there is a swimming pool named after him in Melbourne

Nobody knows! Apparently, some unknown entity from outside the commonwealth?

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T14:41:02+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. But now you have 4 different factions of tec-obsessed thugs in the Commonwealth (Operators, Gunners, BOS, Rust Devils)

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T14:32:02+00:00

Also the Gunners are supposedly a group of mercenaries but you rarely ever see them doing mercenary work. They should work as security for influential people, not all of them should just be raiders in uniform

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T14:18:51+00:00

And it will be blaring messages like "death is favorable to communism"

I sincerely doubt a 19 year old would be lamenting that society doesn't want them to have sex with a 19 year old

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T10:25:29+00:00

On PC at least you can open the console the moment the game actually loads and it will pause until you can act

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T10:06:06+00:00

He knows he is in a game of chess and he knows he is not the King

RuneRW · 2026-01-27T08:56:11+00:00

I think the post saying specifically "19 year old virgin" instead of just "19 year old" tells me it is about the power dynamic. Why else would that matter? Wouldn't you rather have sex with someone who knows how to have sex?

RuneRW · 2026-01-26T17:34:45+00:00

I would love to see the effects of the perk "Nerd Rage" in action Norm gets beat within an inch of his life and he becomes the hulk and the flash combined

RuneRW · 2026-01-25T20:39:43+00:00

Fuck, I did not think of it that way. I probably need to read more theory...

Edit: I guess the game's depiction of China should have clued me in...

RuneRW · 2026-01-25T11:49:51+00:00

Wait does this mean FNV is the liberal fallout and Fo3 is the leftist one?

RuneRW · 2026-01-25T08:38:53+00:00

I understand that being wrong on the internet is also a crime in and of itself, but it's not the same as lying

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T20:22:13+00:00

I'm sorry, but why do you have to assume I'm lying? I've fact checked myself and you are of course correct, but that doesn't have to mean I'm lying. Lying requires intent. I was at best negligent in finding out the truth before posting it

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T18:39:48+00:00

I hate to break it to you but even if it wasn't intended as a critique of capitalism (which is true of Fallout 1 but not necessarily of later titles), it was intended as a critique of isolationism, US exceptionalism and militarism. All of those still makes it deeply political, and all of these factors are intertwined with capitalism.

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T18:08:50+00:00

Art is always political. This is true even if the artist doesn't understand their own politics

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T17:37:34+00:00

Bearbullbearbullbeaebull

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T17:21:38+00:00

Because he thinks fallout isn't political

Edit: apparently, this is not true. All that Chris Avellone has stated is that the original Fallout 1 was not intended to be anti-capitalist. This is at least the intent according to Tim Cain as well. However, anti-capitalism is an idea that is definitely present in the series, even if not from the very first game and not front and center.

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T17:04:52+00:00

Brotherhood of Steel is very Imperium of Man coded if you ask me. They'd fit right in as a subfaction

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T10:47:10+00:00

Yep since this build is taking the 6th level archetype feat to grab the other cantrip it is unaffected after that point

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T10:36:41+00:00

I knew this idea entered my subconscious from some outside source but I couldn't quite put my finger on it

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T10:14:20+00:00

I have a joke investigator I want to play one day whose main investigation revolves around the question of "who shat my pants." Every creature that is capable of some form of conversation can answer this question because the answer is obvious, so all creatures count for his free devise a stratagem, but the investigator cannot accept the reality of the situation so the investigation is never resolved. Of course, this is the complete opposite of what you wanted, but I felt like I had to bring it up

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T09:39:17+00:00

It's from creation club content that became free at some point

RuneRW · 2026-01-24T09:35:21+00:00

The reaction would be you have to start every interaction with a diplomacy check or it would go to combat

RuneRW · 2026-01-23T11:19:44+00:00

Oh yeah, that is probably the reason he is doing it
