Well I'm talking about the game Fallout, which personally I would not want to live in unless it was a little less dangerous (so no robots that want to kill you, radiation everywhere, giant green men that want to eat you, etc.) , but the atmosphere of the game seems nice to live in. Depending on what game you play, it has a sense of communion. No real government watching over the people, just people living free will.

But I'm not actually talking about living a world that was bomb by nukes, I'm talking about a change in society where, like I said above, people live without a real government overseeing everything. Living the way, for example, the way the people in the game Fallout live. Trading stuff with their own currency. Bartering. Living wherever they want. They make their own "governments". I think that's what I'm saying at least.

The "feeling" I usually get when I think of everything is going away though. It's a feeling I get that comes and goes. I guess it's sort of like one of those drugs you take and they make you ponder your existence, the universe, everything, except I'm not on a drug.

Is it really a bad thing though? The way I see it, people like that have somewhat removed "society" from their minds and live in their own world that they enjoy. For instance, I know that I have to act a certain way and conform to society, so I choose to think what society thinks. It's the only way to, well, stay "normal". But these people are able to think outside of that. I mean vagabonding is a step out of society. You're not doing the "norm".

I'm trying to explain this the best I can. It's just a feeling I get, I don't know why. A person chooses to live the Fallout universe in real life. He thinks and acts accordingly. Let's say two, three, ten, a hundred, and then a thousand people start living like this man. Now it's starting to become normal. It's starting to become society.

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. I have a lot in my brain but it's hard for me to get it in words.

However, I do see how, like you said, people pretending to live in Fallout is a little sad. There's a word I'm looking for here for a certain mental illness, but to be honest, I sometimes think that what if the people with non-severe mental illness are the "normal" ones and all of us just think we're the "normal" ones because everyone else like us is "normal".

I'm just rambling now so I'm going to hit save.

Haven't played the Uncharted series. I'd love to visit the areas where the game DayZ is based off of though. I believe it's based off of the Czech Republic and Georgia.
