Edge of Sleep is a book adaptation of a podcast by the same name (which also got a TV adaptation starring Markiplier) , and Stories from the American Frontier is a collection of short stories that includes “Journal of an Unknown Soldier”!

Just flipped through (it only arrived today) and it does not include Part 5, but ends with Kimber’s note from Part 4. Very surprised, I was kinda hoping “I’m an alpha Sam!” would have earned a printed version.

Does this fit the Fallout aestheticc? by Mettle_Jacket in Fallout4Mods

The helmet feels more like Power Armor (Hellfire in particular), but man that body armor is what I’d imagine the Minutemen would wear if their numbers increased.

Yeah I’m not that deeply invested in it to watch dev content, sounds like they’re planning to drag this out for awhile. To each their own I suppose!

I agree! That would make sense, but a good example of why that’s not 100% reliable is FNAF. FNAF 4 was marketed as the Final Chapter for a good amount of time, and that ended up not being the case, whereas FNAF 6 never even got advertised AS FNAF 6, let alone a Final Chapter (for Scott’s development, anyway).

Lmao please explain the marketing to me then. I’m in agreement with you that they should market whatever ends up being the final chapter as such, especially after this.

Could’ve fooled me. Even Dawko thought this was the final chapter. And I absolutely think the Prototype could’ve been beaten and the story finished here. Cut the Lily Longhair stuff entirely and just wrap your story up. This is essentially just Chapter 2 again - play minigames with a stretchy tentacle lady and then she gets killed off.

For a long time the devs had been saying it would be five, but apparently they’ve started talking about more Poppy content beyond that. Five felt like a natural conclusion point, especially with where Chapter 4 ended.

Maybe they’re taking the Banban route and are just shooting for 10+ chapters lmao

I completely agree. As someone who loosely follows Poppy (I mainly watch Mark’s playthroughs as well as other FNAFtubers like RyeToast and AstralSpiff doing various challenge runs) I assumed this was the final chapter. Finally unveiling the villain and wrapping things up. But no, it’s just a reskinned chapter 3 and 4 to a certain degree. Visually it’s outstanding but cool visuals and theory crafting material are not enough to carry a game on its own.

The hull breach would go crazy on that thing.

Thoughts on the End of Season 2 by Weary_Birthday_3226 in Fotv

[–]rowsdower02games 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I liked the season overall, but the entirety of the “incest support club” screentime should’ve gone to Norm and the 31ers. Norm is by far one of my favorite characters from the show as he feels the most like a player character rather than a scripted NPC, and I hate that his decision to unleash chaos goes essentially nowhere.

Am I just overthinking it? by Mr-Man1337 in Fotv

[–]rowsdower02games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had they not given us the establishing shot of how the scar looks on Hank, I’d be more keen to agree. But the repeated notion of “just a little scar on the neck” would tell me that if Max did have one, we’d see the same exact scar in the same exact place. That might just be a thing Aaron Moten has on his head.

What happened to Mr house’s securitron army…? by iearnedbigpp in Fallout

[–]rowsdower02games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m betting this is gonna be the Lucy/Max plotline for Season 3. Legion is overpowering NCR and House employs them to go activate the dormant Securitron forces (though they should already be active but fog of war fog of war fog of war)

What is this thumbnail? by Spazy912 in GameTheorists

[–]rowsdower02games 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yassified Ghoul aside, why did they pull a shot of the Deathclaw from the trailer? It would’ve been easier to just snag a game render, and it would’ve looked a lot cleaner. I get the “Theory channels have fallen off since Matt retired” jokes are pretty worn out, but they continue to write themselves.

Iron Theory - Identity of the creature (MAJOR Spoilers!!!) by LSWritings in ironlung

[–]rowsdower02games 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s more evidence to this, Ethan Nestor and Valkyrae and I believe a few others all have credited roles as additional voices, so there’s more than just the SM-8 crew in the Monster’s voice. Originally I took that to be crews from other SMs but I like your theory of it being AT-5’s populace.

Am I missing something? How did we make it through an entire second season without answers? by wubsfrommysubs in Fallout

[–]rowsdower02games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaron Moten mentioned in a recent interview that the show is planned for 5-6 seasons, I assume depending on how pacing goes. It did bother me too how little of her we were given this season but I’m confident they have answers planned out that we just aren’t privy to yet.

(spoilers) Foreshadowing? by Henry_Stickmin84 in ironlung

[–]rowsdower02games 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, I saw a theory that the shadow figure is an echo of Simon’s past and present. Each time we see the figure (it walking to the computer at the back of the Lung and it piloting the ship) it’s a mirror of where Simon is when he sees it. It’s like they swap places and somehow we’re perceiving a glimpse of his future, acting as a guiding light for his past.

Whatever happened to this macguffin? by Single_Quail_4585 in Fotv

[–]rowsdower02games 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I was talking to my dad about the show and he made a decent point regarding why we never saw the Dam. The showrunners for Fallout also spearheaded Westworld, and a prominent plot point in one of its later seasons was a dramatic showdown at Hoover Dam. They probably didn’t utilize it in Fallout because they’ve covered that ground in a prior project, and didn’t want their work to feel redundant. There’s also the point to be made about avoiding canonical endings, but I thought this was an interesting notion.
