#I’m gonna have to try the game one

[yellobb]

Another helpful trick I came up with in college:

Do you need to plan things to do with your breaks or you won’t do anything at all? Does that sometimes backfire because you end up piling on more stress when you don’t feel like doing it?

This is what my schedule used to look like. I’d plan my breaks between classes and my evenings, but if I didn’t do the reading at 9:30? It would fuck everything up for me for the rest of the day. I’d feel like I was behind because I’d “wasted” time I was “supposed” to be doing that reading

My solution? Give yourself choices!

Now instead of me sitting down and thinking “man I do NOT want to write right now” then just continuing to rot on my phone, I got to pick if I wanted to write or do some art. I’d already given myself the permission to use that time for something not necessarily required that I otherwise would feel awful about doing when there was more important work to be done.

You know how people tend to struggle a lot more with picking something to watch when given 30 choices versus just two? Do that to yourself. Take all the things that need to get done and make it an “A or B” decision. Instead of me sitting around and wondering ‘should I read, write my paper, work on my project, watch that film for class, study, or do my math homework?’ which inevitably led to me doing none of the above, I would ask myself ‘do you feel more like writing or doing math?’

It wouldn’t work all the time, sure, but man was it great at cutting through the overwhelming jumble in my brain. I can pick A or B a lot easier than I can come up with an answer out of the blue

At a certain point blaming the school system for failing to teach you every fact becomes an excuse to absolve yourself from learning on your own time as an adult. Maybe you had bad teachers and curricula, maybe you never did the assigned reading, maybe you were taught propaganda, but it’s okay to start now. It’s okay to learn geography from online games. It’s okay to get entry level books from the library on a subject. It’s okay to explore Wikipedia and other reputable websites as a start. You can learn as an adult. You should continue learning as an adult.

why do you hate Joshua Graham or Honest Hearts so much?

This DLC and character represents a bigger issue with fandom spaces I have but particularly fallout fandom in general.

Fallout tends to tackle a lot of topics controversial and not. The first two games it’s heavy cause they are the most satirical and direct with how anti-war, nationalism and etc… they are. 3 loses this as it’s very clear once you play or learn about all the games that Todd and a bunch of guys at Bethesda just liked the 50s post apocalyptic aesthetic and refuse to actually critique the ideals of the time period like the earlier titles.

New Vegas is the game that really gets back into it a degree it almost seems like it’s taking too much on. There are things done exceedingly well while other things are done horribly wrong . I’ve made posts about it before and plan to make a big series of posts (it’s a lot of writing) but my biggest gripe is with Honest Hearts and all the gross and white savior esque depictions it has of indigenous peoples. The entirety if FNV does not do the injustices faced by indigenous people correctly on any count. My two biggest complaints are with the Khans and the tribes in Zion but I’ll talk about the former on a different post.

Both characters of Daniel and Joshua are the most accurate depiction of white saviors I’ve seen and I hate how the DLC tries to justify and defend them. The DLC treats Joshua like this man who has repented for his past actions when he is just retracing his steps after his cruelty bit him in the ass. He was one of the worst parts of the Legion and it is all but explicitly stated that if you don’t force him to be non-violent he will turn the tribes of Zion into the legion 2.0. The Dead Horses and the Sorrows are horribly infantilized by both Daniel and Joshua who both use them for self serving purposes guised by religious duty. The White Legs are the horrible stereotype of violent and savage indigenous and I personally think a lot of their interlinking with Ulysses, his hair and Ulysses character in general are distasteful and very telling of how BIPOC or POC where involved.

But outside of the game it’s the weird obsession people have with these characters ideologies and trying to make them seem more interesting/philosophical than they are. Tumblr is an echo chamber and many fans of Fallout are not the people on this site. Many people are not educated in the issues these characters convey and how poorly they do or used these characters as a poor introduction for their takes. Contrary to what a lot of people believe in, fallout has a prediomeny white cis male fanbase. More importantly a large portion of the fanbase is white.

You can joke how FNV made you trans or see the numbers on post/fics or diverse headcanons but these are kiddy numbers compared to the millions that consume the franchise and aren’t in those more aware spaces or don’t engage in the spaces the same way someone like me does/has to. Their views shape a lot more than people realize and it’s exhausting to be in a space where people don’t correct the more subtle yet toxic aspects of it but also adopt them into some weird quirky view point on the characters or issues. Some people don’t realize and some people don’t care.

My main issue is just the idolizing of these sort of thing in this fandom space and people try to acts like a game like fallout whose tagline is “War never changes” and has never had a game not revolve around political or militaristic factions issues isn’t that deep or doesn’t relate to real issues. I think it’s mainly caused by how over powered you can become and how you can strong arm your way past these learning moments as majority of people who play this game do play it as a power fantasy where they can do so as they please (which of course, go ahead it’s fun) but never take in parallels or lessons in the story as if it was just another first person shooter.

Also like another personal gripe is Cazadores spawn like hell whenever I’m there and I have not found a mod that works to mod them out so I have to play Indigenous Racism the DLC while getting jumped by giant wasps WHILE helping Mormons. Like I cannot catch a break.

Also if you’ve only read the main comic so far I recommend also checking out the extras tag! There’s a lot more fun stuff in there (like. A lot)

[dragonfollies]

Companies please stop being corrupt and trying to be relatable to your fanbase

Or this will actually happen

[danielnelsen]

so if you romance and ascend astarion you can kick him in the balls when he tries to turn you and it’s just very funny, he’s so pissy about it. so much for the most powerful vampire of all time or whatever, he stamps around like a toddler and then leaves forever

[mars-ipan]

honestly i headcanon that even with practice nagito can beat an expert minesweeper board in, like, 120s at best. if he clicked any faster his frail body would pass out from exhaustion. although obe time he would somehow end up getting a 1 3bv exp board due to his lucky talent and the wom mods would spend a week figuring out if their algorithm just broke.

*guy who has never looked into minesweeper meta voice* uh huh uh huh

Auto-combat games with 15 different microquests that repeat over and over again for the rest of time making the game a never ending tutorial my beloathed

[no1ryomafan]

I love it when a game been out for about 2 months and there is not a concrete fucking guide on how to get the true ending because I either can’t find a post or the videos that show the endings don’t actually show you the additional steps needed to get it and I ended up getting a bad ending meaning I gotta replay the game AGAIN.

Yes this is about Umbraclaw. Yes I still like the game but this is fucking ridiculous.
