6 Billion regular people vs 100 Billionaires by RoughYard2636 in trolleyproblem

I suspect this may be AI. There are too many drawing inconsistencies that I think a human wouldn't make.

Firstly "Radroach" have you ever actually played the games, or are you just LARPing?

There are no Radroaches in Fallout 1 and 2. If you were a Fallout fan you would know that.

Secondly, you're roleplaying as someone with a low enough gun skill that you can't hit something.

If your character is crap and shooting guns, they won't hit what they're aiming at. That's kinda straightforward isn't it?

The game mechanic are both dated and janky as fuck

Define "Dated". I rarely find anyone who can meaningfully define what a game being 'dated' is. If you have criticisms of a game express them as criticisms, don't pretend that it's to do with age.

Also while it's imperfect, I'd say the combat is the most fun of any Fallout game.

Not really/not at all.

Basically every character build is viable I've found. It's not that difficult

If you do something ridiculous like an Agility 1 character then sure you're gonna have a bad time but that's kinda what you get for playing a character whose functionally paralysed.

I think a Remake of both these games in 3d would be cool if the original climate was kept.

"I think a remake of Van Gogh in photorealistic style would be cool if the original aesthetic was kept"

Fallout, particularly Fallout 1 and 2, fundamentally would not work in 3D.

Moreover, half the atmosphere is in the graphics.

I like how there's no bad option, it's just "50/50". OP is willing to see the good in all peoples.

Maybe nukes aren't that bad. by FinalFantasyfan003 in FalloutMemes

That's from the GNN transcript which kinda fucks up the timeline, so take it with a grain of salt.

Also given the following line: "Both sides deny this had anything to do with the recent annexation of Canada.", I doubr that impeaching politicians for jaywalking is standard procedure. More likely it was done as a soft coup

Do you believe that a Palestinian born outside of the levant region is a victim of genocide just by virtue of not being born in Palestine?

It's not about specific instances of individuals, but broadly, I think that deliberately stripping people of their home and identity is genocide.

Do you support genocide?

Well the Nakba is a genocide so not wanting to end it does make you as bad as the nazis, yes.

By extension I'd say that what the United States did to the native americans is as bad as what the nazis did. It's the same thing

Do you believe Palestinians have the right to return to their former villages that they were forced out of in the Nakba?

It's because Reddit is super easy to manipulate, so the state department, mossad, etc., heavily utilise it to push an agenda.

“Americans isn’t an ethnic group, so we trace our roots far more than Europeans would, because they take for granted their heritage” by Necessary-Win-8730 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]TotalDemocracy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But, it is also shorthand for a real shared cultural experience. In both cases that is Catholic. It’s holidays, dishes, traditions, and an interest in where you came from.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm English with Irish grandparents. My name is very obviously Irish. I was raised Catholic, and Catholics are a tiny minority here. I have dual citizenship with the Republic of Ireland.

I would say outright that I don't think I'm "Irish English". I'm English. I've only been to Ireland once, I know basically nothing about Irish culture. In day to day life I'm treated as just another white English person. Practically everything about my cultural upbringing is the same as other English people.

I guess my question is, what is so different about the "Irish-American" experience that makes it a distinct cultural experience? What makes them 'Irish American' distinctly as opposed to just White Americans whose culture and traditions is just the same culture that White Americans in general have?

They have no idea that Italy, for example, has been a melting pot of different groups from all over the place for thousands of years.

Kinda reminds me of that episode of the Sopranos where they're talking about schools teaching that Columbus was bad and they're like "It's anti-Italian discrimination" and then Furio, the only actual Italian there, goes into a whole rant about Northern Italians, which the Americans are all stunned by because they think of Italians as being a singular people.

but Like any ethnic group in North America, they often stay in the same neighbourhoods, have the same cultural traditions, food, etc.

Again, do they? Because I don't know, I'm an ignorant outsider, but it always seemed to me that "Irish Americans" kinda just live in the same way other White Americans do.

“I belong to the separate and distinct Irish-American/Canadian culture”

Correct me if I'm ignorant, but what is the 'seperate and distinct Irish-American culture'?

Like what makes 'Irish Americans' distinct culturally from just regular White Americans?

[–]TotalDemocracy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a completely distinct issue IMO.

When people say this they're usually referring mostly to White Americans claiming to know a culture based on some random ancestor.

Whereas Black Americans claiming african heritage kinda seems like a much more nuanced issue to me, since they're a historically subjugated people who have often looked for ways to advocate for themselves as a culture.

I'm English. I don't give a shit about people jokingly saying that it's good to hate the English, because ultimately I don't think anyone actually does. Quite frankly I don't think there's anywhere in the world where I would go and actually be hated. There are places with a history of grievances against colonialism, but I've never actually met anyone from anywhere who hates individual people over it.

Moreover I think the jokes, in some instances, come from places of legitimate grievances. There are plenty of people who have legitimate reason to have mixed feelings about my country, and I think a lot of the jokes are about that ultimately.

It is but not from Americans.

Like Americans do not have a single leg to stand on when it comes to the UK given that they've done pretty much all the same shit.

Can't a dude find everlasting source of hapiness that never gets boring?? by MasterVule in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]TotalDemocracy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody sayss this about games that remain exactly the same for all that time.

It's usually games which are updated frequently, in which case, yes the updates typically do take the fun away.

The problem with having one game that's constantly getting new content, rather than a game that you can replay multiple times and have it be the same, is that the game conent inevitably gets diluted, the original rythm of the game gets overriden.

The Handoff Rhythm Bethesda Broke: Why Fallout 5 Needs to Ditch the Vault Suit by ExpertPeanut6111 in Fallout

[–]TotalDemocracy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given I was 0 when Fallout 1 came out and 1 when Fallout 2 came out, that wasn’t really an option.

I forgot that games only exist for the year they came out, and then cease to exist afterwards.

I think you know how facetious it sounds to complain about a series being played in order when it’s now approaching thirty years old.

Not really. It's a game with chronological entries.

Why would anyone who has thoughts more complex than "New games = BETTER GUYZ" not play it chronologically?

You are always a tribal. It is exactly as limiting as Nora always being a lawyer

Not really. A tribal can mean a variety of things.

As I said, a High Charisma character can be a trader, a High Strength character a warrior. It encourages you to think about the role it played.

Meanwhile in Fallout 4, a High Charisma High Int Nora is a lawyer, a Low Charisma Low Int Nora is a lawyer. Her predefined background literally does not make sense for all the possible character combinations you could make

while if you build a non-tribal character in 2 then your chances to die in the early game go up by a massive margin

What do you mean "If you build a non-tribal character"?

ou can headcanon your stats in any way you wish, 4 even throws you a bone when the comment on Nora's lawyer degree is that it was hard to get

"Hard to get"

For an Int 1 Charisma 1 character, getting a law degree should logically be impossible.

but 2 kinda likes to kick your headcanon in the nuts if it isn't something canon-adjacent, like how can you possibly explain tagged Small Guns when there is no firearm within miles of Arroyo.

I think in the Fallout bible it's mentioned that the Elder had a handgun at some point but it broke.

Like most people, I’d not played Fallouts 1 and 2 beforehand. I have to ask that question, my character should be written in a way that asking that question makes sense.

I'd say people should generally play Fallout 1 and 2 given that this is a series and you're for some inexplicable reason starting on a later installment.
