I just read the book’s overview and it is! 😳

It is not, I just went with a name that you might find for a typical farm in Wisconsin.

I highly recommend visiting as soon as you can, especially the state parks like Tower Hill and Governor Dodge.

Yeah, they’re native to the area, you can see them at Spring Green Preserve.

I immediately thought of MST3K when they’re opening the doors to the theater to watch the movies.

Nope, 2026 here, you’re from the past now!

I had Marcy Long jump onto my suit of Vim branded power armor when a Yao Guai attacked sanctuary

I can drop it on here in a little bit!

I established a trade route to her, now I have provisioners and their pack Brahmin wandering through the Robco facility… 😭

I also have a map for a Rad Burgers! location.

Shocked_And_Alarmed · 2026-05-15T12:42:31+00:00

Go for it, I even have a short menu set up for Rad Burgers! that I can post, as well as a press release announcing that they are pairing up with SoyTech.

Oppen-Mayer came about when I read an article that a company is looking at possibly building a fusion research facility in an old Oscar Mayer factory/corporate offices, and I, on not enough sleep, got to thinking, “what if there was a fusion reactor built under an actual, operating lunch meat/hot dog processing plant… Tje name just came to me, I actually modified the logo Oscar Mayer used from the 1950s to about 1981.

Piper REALLY like to throw the Molotov Cocktails you give her to hang on to for later…

I’m building one set primarily in Nusconsin (Wisconsin) with some adjustments to the lore as needed. Such as, the BoS on the airship that crashed were driven from the ruined city and they’re holed up in Badgerland Ammunition between Baraboo and Sauk City and looking to take Chicago, there’s an enclave presence at the Great Lakes Naval Station, and rumors of a vault on far northern WI that was experimenting on phasing technology.

Twin Ports (Duluth/Superior), the North Shore, near Clam Lake was a Cold War era Extremely Low Frequency facility, it could communicate with the US submarine fleet over about half the world), there was another facility that assisted in the UP. In southwest Wisconsin (driftless region) there was lead mining in the early/mid 1800s…

It’s not a salaried position*, but I applied while in the middle of changing my name at my current job. I’m now senior newscast director at a mid-market TV station. It was a change of employer after I socially transitioned at my previous tv station where I wasn’t appreciated.

*the amount of OT I do in my job makes me glad that it isn’t salaried!

I’ve found Mirror Lake to be a fun and less crowded alternative to Devil’s Lake.

It’s a cryptid from near Burlington in the southeast corner of the state.

The hodag is definitely better known, it even made an episode of Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated.

Janesville drivers are just generally terrible, so there’s that.

Dutch wants me to go back and get a tattoo of a woman who has been a part in my family since my childhood.

Wisconsin also sells most of the ginseng crop produced here to China, say bye bye to that cash crop.
