Jon (ManyATrueNerd) has great playthroughs of most of the fallout series, including some wild challenge runs of 3/NV/4. He’s definitely more familiar with the more recent games, but it was fun to see him go back and figure out the older games.

Here’s his playthrough of 1: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwH1xJhcXG0f-9nIwaprNaP_p-HZyHkmg

This post is a skill check for how terminally online you are.

And I passed. Fuck.

One extra thing a lot of articles haven’t pointed out is that the mod was locked behind a patreon paywall. Sticking mods behind paywalls has been a hot subject (to put it gently) in the community for a while now. Not to rush to the defense of the most profitable franchise in the world, but yeah that’s absolutely gonna get you shut down.

Curious how it’ll perform in real world conditions. Sodium batteries are supposed to have much better charging times and don’t degrade the way lithium batteries do, both of which would be huge. Fingers crossed they live up to expectations.

(Also obligatory “expand and improve public transit damnit!”)

CRAZY!

That is The King’s Hand, and you will show it respect! 😤

Is this article AI generated? It’s absolutely awful. Ending with youtube-style engagement bait is just embarrassing, you’re the journalist, you should be the one to reach out to a lawyer and get an opinion.

Mello’s the absolute GOAT. So stoked that he got on the soundtrack for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

Honestly this is one of the things I appreciate about Trek. Things don’t just automatically get better and better throughout human history. But in both Trek and real life, people want things to get better and will fight to make them better if given a chance. Past Tense might be my favorite episode of TV in general because while things might still get worse before they get better, the Bell Riots are one of the things that spurs people into action.

I think there’s a lot to be hopeful for in that respect. We’re seeing a resurgence of unions and labor action after they collapsed in the 90s, the development of an incredibly large anti war movement, and people are realizing things only change if we force them to.

Anyways, there will always be bad things happening in a capitalist society, but there will always be people fighting to make things better, and right now a lot of people are realizing they want to be a part of that group.

So yeah, shit sucks but there will always be people who want to fix things.

Lots of cast members ended up directing over the years. 90’s Trek had a reputation for being a factory for directorial debuts. It’s really neat, it brought a lot of variety and personality to the episodes.

And you may find yourself living in a starship bunk

And you may find yourself in another part of the galaxy

And you may find yourself behind the helm of a large delta flyer

And you may find yourself in a beautiful holodeck, with a beautiful holo-wife

And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

And the answer is pretty simple, it was the caretaker.

I love Lower Decks a lot. You can spot the exact moment the exec who was demanding “make one of them Rick and Morties with this old sci-fi shit we have” left the room and the writers all went “okay so we’re gonna do a very targeted Star Trek comedy now, yeah?”

The DS9 episode was wonderful.

Going off 20+ year old memories so I’ve probably got some stuff wrong, but basically there was an evil guy literally named Hacker (who in my head was voiced by Christopher Lloyd?) who was trying to infect the program lady who was in charge of everything with a virus. The actual episodes were basically just “uh oh Hacker is up to some bullshit, time to stop him in some way that will involve math.”

Smae. Some of it is probably learned from her goofball idiot caretaker, but I’m just gonna say one of us has lost a fight with the ceiling and it wasn’t me.

Edit: this made me realize I’ve never actually tried to fight the ceiling. Hold on gotta test, will report back.

Fun fact, going by the K-D mark, this was from the Constitutional Democratic Party, who were the liberals. If this was actually from 1917, I’d assume it was rallying against one of the socialist parties (or socialist parties in general). Between the October revolution of 1917 and Stalin seizing power, there was a massive expansion of LGBTQ+ rights, to the point that we’re still fighting for many of those rights today.

FYI I never said that the strike had failed or anything to that effect, I just said it was a bad move by union leadership to call off the pickets before the TA had been agreed on or even been given to members (which it hadn’t at the time I posted this). It’s also fair to critique union leadership if they’re putting forward tactics that are weak. Weak tactics and bad leadership play into the boss’ hands far more than critique.

However, all of that said, now that the details of the TA are out, it does seem to be a really solid deal and WGA members should absolutely be celebrating. This was a hell of a fight and they’ve earned it.

Bad move by the WGA boards. While I hope the TA is good and meets all demands, the workers literally haven’t seen it yet, let alone voted on it. You always want to have the strongest strike possible, and part of that is that no work gets done until a new contract is delivered, approved, and put in place. This puts the union in a weak position if the TA gets voted down.
