Y'all remember in Fallout: New Vegas where one of the antagonists was that snotty rich bozo who made himself live forever and refused to share the secret of immortality with anyone? And he thinks he should get to rule the world because nobody else could possibly be super smart and special enough to understand his boring, banal ideas or carry out his boring, banal, utterly common vision for humanity?
That’s basically a blow-for-blow on how the ultra rich plan on dealing with climate change.
And y'all remember also how if you figure out how to kill Mr. House and eat his corpse you get a special achievement?
Fallout: New Vegas is a very good video game, is the only thing I’m saying here.
@lyonsdoctrine
Not to mention, this is the game where after killing and eating said snotty rich bozo? You can look at the two big, powerful nation-states who want to conquer New Vegas for themselves, play them against each other, kick the NCR’s ass with robots, and then make New Vegas an independent, free territory.
And the quest name is literally, “No God, No Masters”.
Anarcho-Courierism
Fun fact? Josh Sawyer has actually made several statements in support of communist and anarchist ideals, and expressed a lot of interest in that one game design company that was run as a cooperative.
I know people would probably prefer I don’t stink this post up with more developer criticism, but I have to wonder if this isn’t at the heart of why Fallout has, post-New Vegas, become the very thing it was originally parodying and criticizing.
Josh Sawyer, one of the original developers, as you say, could possibly support anarchist and communist ideals.
But then you have Todd Howard, who is clearly a capitalist, and has made statements (in particular, the “degenerates” comment at E3, which is a HUGE red flag) that hit at possible support, or even harboring, of fascist ideals.
Given that possibility, the portrayal of the Brotherhood in Fallout 4 makes a horrifying amount of sense. The once-noble faction from Fallout 3 was warped beyond both reason and the willing suspension of disbelief into blatant fascists, because Todd sees no problem with that.
Same with Skyrim’s Blades. A formerly noble faction in Oblivion, turned into blatant fascists with a genocidal agenda for no reason whatsoever. Because Todd doesn’t see this as a problem.
He, and all Bethesda writers obviously knew that many players - for whom Oblivion and Fallout 3 were their first Bethesda games - would default to seeing the Blades and BoS as they saw them in previous games; as noble, heroic, and gravitate to following them. Only to find out that they’re nothing of the sort.
But if anything, the overwhelmingly negative community reaction to the Skyrim Blades, and the less overwhelming but nonetheless present negative reaction to the FO4 Brotherhood, shows that Todd’s gambit didn’t work. People saw these factions for who they are, and have rightly criticized them exhaustively.
And I mean, even for people who do like the FO4 BoS, most of them are either diehard Danse fans, or they’re people who made AUs or mods where Maxson can be overthrown.
That leaves the small remaining minority of FO4 BoS fans, usually the same ones who also like the Blades, as alt-right types and literal fascists.
Friend, I am ALWAYS in favor of anybody stinking up any one of my posts with Todd-shaming. By all means.
BTW, in case anyone thought I was exaggerating when I said that the bourgeoisie all want to be Mr. House when they grow up: I was. Only some of them want to be Mr. House; others want to be the Enclave.

Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers. It was by far the largest fee I had ever been offered for a talk — about half my annual professor’s salary — all to deliver some insight on the subject of “the future of technology.”
I’ve never liked talking about the future. The Q&A sessions always end up more like parlor games, where I’m asked to opine on the latest technology buzzwords as if they were ticker symbols for potential investments: blockchain, 3D printing, CRISPR. The audiences are rarely interested in learning about these technologies or their potential impacts beyond the binary choice of whether or not to invest in them. But money talks, so I took the gig.
After I arrived, I was ushered into what I thought was the green room. But instead of being wired with a microphone or taken to a stage, I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys — yes, all men — from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology. They had come with questions of their own.
They started out innocuously enough. Ethereum or bitcoin? Is quantum computing a real thing? Slowly but surely, however, they edged into their real topics of concern.
Which region will be less impacted by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? Is Google really building Ray Kurzweil a home for his brain, and will his consciousness live through the transition, or will it die and be reborn as a whole new one? Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?”
Not much of a gamer myself, but this was an interesting thread to read.

I JSUT REMEMBERED THE “WHERES THE BABIES” VIDEO AND I NEED TO WATCH IT AGAIN RIGHT FUCKING NOW
i wish i could say “where’s the babies” to summon several tiny mewing blobs to climb on me
I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.
The king’s son becomes the new king, and is prophesied to defeat evil and bring an age of prosperity. His generals and knights all crack their knuckles but he pretty much ignores them and focuses on strengthening the infrastructure of his kingdom. Forty years later he is old and sick but still hearing his subjects’ grievances, and a general’s like “how will you defeat the prophesied evil now? You’re old and weak.” Another visitor, a teenager fresh out of the kingdom’s public education system, looks at the general like he is an ignoramus. The king eradicated poverty, housed the homeless, taught the ignorant, ended class exploitation by abolishing the nobility and imprisoning the corrupt, and established a highly respected guild of doctors that recently figured out how to cure the plague. There are no brigands because there is enough wealth for everyone to live comfortably; hiding in the woods and taking trinkets from people simply doesn’t make any sense for anyone but the desperate, and the people are not desperate. Evil is a weed, explains the teenager. It grows in cracked roads and crumbling houses and forgotten corners, rooted in indifference and watered by suffering. But the king demands that broken things be mended and suffering people be made well.
No evil lives in this kingdom, says the teenager. It starved to death before I was born.
Every once in a while, when I’m feeling down, I go and look at the notes on this post and they make me feel a lot better. This is the energy I want to carry into 2018.
For those who need to carry it into 2019.
This is amazing!!!

“I painted somebody’s mom”
“Took a while and not perfect, but i painted the guy who painted the other guy’s mom”
“I painted the girl who painted the guy who painted the other guy’s mom who painted an egret”
“I painted the guy who painted the girl who painted the guy who painted the mom who painted a bird”
“When it sinks in that I stayed up most of the night to paint a meme for internet points…”
…And nobody thought to post other “branchs” of this chain? Yes, it’s ‘branchS’, plural, because apparently we also have these:
Bit wonky, but I painted the woman who painted the guy who painted the lady who painted the swan.
Bit shitty, but I painted the woman who painted the woman who painted the guy who painted the lady who painted the swan

A painting of the guy who hasn’t painted in years painting the guy who painted the girl who painted the guy who painted the girl who painted the other girl who painted the guy who painted the other guys mom
Same ‘level’ as the one above:
Usually lurking but not today…plaid was a great challenge!
Continue! With a cat!
We painted the guy that painted the other guy who hadn’t painted in 2 years who painted the other guy who painted the girl that painted the guy who painted the girl that painted the guy that painted some guy’s mother who painted a swan whilst making them all an NPC in the process

It’s amazing seeing what causes people to do something good for someone else, and seeing others join in. 😊
Kid - Ohh no my balloon Cat - Don’t worry I got this just give me a moment Cat - Here’s your balloon kid Kid - Thank you kitty, Now follow me
animals and babies can communicate. 100%
Siamese cats are very social and love to talk (to the point they tend to talk a lot if their human friends are on the phone), it probably brought the balloon down so they can both play together, hence chasing the thread at the end. ;3;
What a good kitty <3

Magical encounter while free falling.
Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
