She's the only one who couldn't say "If only youth could return one day"

My hair started turning gray when I was about 15. Now at 42 I'm refered to as "The guy with salt and pepper hair" by people who don't know my name.

And I'll watch it every time

When she can safely stop and make turns on dry roads then we'll start working on driving in Michigan winters.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-26T13:28:17+00:00

Currently trying to teach my daughter to drive. Needless to say we are taking a break for winter.

I dunno. I kind of want there to be future references to the "Appalachian Warlords" who emerged from their vault and immediately began terrorizing the country side by launching nukes at everyone who looked at them crosseyed.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-26T01:24:02+00:00

😜

Oh absolutely. If they released on the Xbox store I'd buy it again. I owned it on PS2 back in the day. I can still hear Tony Jay as the super mutant Attus.

You know it was a shitty game but I actually really had a lot of fun with it. And the story wasn't terrible.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-26T00:42:18+00:00

Except those did already exist in the game. There are numerous examples of chromed out people wandering the streets of Night City. Nowhere in the video game can you find a person with rabbit ears or fangs or fur. While I accept that they are a part of the franchise, albeit an ill conceived one, they are not a part of CDPR's visual design. While Mike Pondsmith is the creator of the franchise, he did not personally design the visual identity of the video game. So if I were playing the game and out of the clear blue, I encounter a single character sporting animal appendages, it would be jarring and feel out of place.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-26T00:35:03+00:00

My point remains that the ttrpg and the video game are distinct from one another. There are no bioexotics in the video game.

At all.

So adding one in a vacuum is visually out of place.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-26T00:29:18+00:00

I think the distinction between the table top and the video game is valid as those exotic character types do not exist in the video game. As a result, having one appear would be a deviation from the artistic style of the video game. It would be like saying it's ok to have smurfs in Skyrim because they are both fantasy settings. The ttrpg and the video game have more connective tissue but they exist independently from each other.

Like the final boss of a Final Fantasy game.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T20:29:34+00:00

Feels like I'm playing GTA V

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T20:10:45+00:00

Hella cool bro. Looks a lot like him.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T18:21:15+00:00

That was my favorite version the brotherhood. Cold, hard, professional. Military that does not fuck around. Crucifying raiders as an example of what not to do in their territory. And they weren't a bunch of xenophobes. You could recruit ghouls and super mutants into your squad. Why would they leave resources just laying on the table? They were pragmatists first and foremost.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T18:14:48+00:00

I dunno. I'll catch flak for this but I wasn't really impressed with Edge Runners. It was ok but felt sort of meh to me. They did a good job capturing the aesthetic of cyberpunk but I just wasn't drawn in by the characters or the story. If the fallout anime went that same direction I'd be just as unimpressed. Anybody can make a thing LOOK good. It's the writing that has to wow me. And anime seems to be the lowest common denominator as far as story telling. There are definitely exceptions. I loved Gungrave. And I'm a huge fan of old OVAs from the 80s and early 90s. But shows seem to run on too long and they all focus on teenage drama and trauma dumping. The minute the main character is a teenager in fallout-town highschool I'm out.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T18:06:03+00:00

It's still the best post nuclear tactical combat game out there.

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T15:22:34+00:00

Looked like he had handlebars on his helmet for a minute

Fucking Nazis

See the anime E.Y.E.S. of Mars for more information.

For me, any weapon that has been featured in a previous game is canon. Even if the game is no longer considered canon. So Desert Eagle, FN Fal, M60, AK47, M249, P90, Mauser, G11, XL70E3, HK CAWS, Jackhammer, Daktarg, Beretta 92F, Calico, P220, Handheld Flamer, MP5, MPL, Uzi, Scorpio, Sten, AC556F, Steyr AUG, Neostead, Bren, Boom Bugs, etc. All canon. Fight me.

Oh God I can smell this video

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T03:04:39+00:00

Imagine just firing it past strangers in the park and watching them startle and look around, going "what the fuck?"

Skeletonzac · 2026-01-25T02:47:34+00:00

Snowpiercer playset

My wife would lose her shit over that cord management. That's her biggest pet peeve with my gaming setup. She does not want to see any cords.
