if I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hundred times

ANYTHING FOR YOU JOSH

[nerdragenewvegas]

Me, before playing Honest Hearts: I've left the Mormon church because I was unable to reconcile the Plan of Salvation doctrine, which honestly supports and validates the existence of trans and non-binary people if anything, with the Church's stance on trans and non-binary people. I have complicated feelings about it and I'm unsure how I identify religiously, which is complicated by the fact that I converted to Mormonism of my own choice when I was in my early 20's, but I still believe the teachings to be mostly true at their core, and I hope that the Church comes around one day and changes their stance on LGBTQ+ people so I can maybe re-join. Me, after playing Honest Hearts for the first time: oh my god I was in a cult.

replaying fnv on pc and I'm at the part where you have to decide benny's fate and somehow in past playthroughs I either forgot or missed the part where you can ask about him?? It's just so cool I'm so upset at what could have been. like yeah he's a total snake and the chances of us both running vegas without one of us being backstabed by the the other are incredibly slim but it just sucks he's already dead when you finally confront him and even if you do try to let him go there's just nothing or his inevitable death. Bethesda did him so dirty but idk I get it too

[twosides--samecoin]

FNV fandom: the show is being disrespectful to obsidian's work on the franchise. todd wrote each of the dev's names in a death note and was waiting for this precise moment to stick it to fnv. bethesda doesn't understand fallout-

Tim Cain:

If we can get along, you guys can get along. So cut out all the online stuff. You guys can be really destructive. Which is odd that you do it to people who are trying to make things. And it's hard enough to make things without people constantly trying to tear it down. But it's way easier to tear down than to build up. It was fun to talk to those guys. They're really nice. And also, some of you guys, some of your stuff you say online, it's so... off. So, I kind of wish, part of me wishes you guys could go to things like this and meet the people, and not just play a game and then go off on the people. But anyway, they're super nice, we chatted, they're friendly, it was fun.

Joshua Sawyer:

Put your pitchforks down. If you respect the devs of FNV half as much as you think you do, stop projecting your dislike about The Thing into this made-up vendetta. Maybe stop taking this as personal slight. Maybe, if you have a large following in the FNV fandom, stop spreading the idea that Todd's out to disrespect the Obsidian devs. And maybe go see what those Obsidian devs have to say about the show rather than speaking for them. Just a thought.

"Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things'"

Everyone has a teen drama that is such trash that it makes every other teen drama look like Picasso in TV form.

Like I hear way too many people call One Tree Hill "trash" but I have to wonder if those people have seen Dawson's Creek or especially Riverdale. I can't see One Tree Hill as trash cause I have seen REAL trash!

BTW I'm sorry to Dawson's Creek. I feel like a traitor cause I adore Pacey Witter and the relationship between Pacey and Joey but ever since watching One Tree Hill I just can't see Dawson's Creek the same way. There's just no excuse for the way they wrote characters to be so unlikable, absolutely refused to write two women having a completely healthy friendship, the way that they had strengths and found ways to bury every single strength most of the time and specifically wrote to the trash aspects, the way they mistreated the few black characters in that show. Not that One Tree Hill was the most diverse but compared to Dawson's Creek it was. In Dawson's Creek they had about three black characters all of whom they wrote off for no apparent reason and the actors were very upset with how they were being written off (Did the writers listen to them.... no in fact when Obba Babatunde went to the writers and expressed his concerns... they just shooed him off and told him they were gonna do it the way they wanted to).

And i'm not saying that One Tree Hill is perfect. It was created by and largely written by an evil trash weasel man so there's bound to be some trashy aspects but just speaking in general terms... there's a lot more redeeming qualities about the finished product. They elevated the great characters (of which there were many) including but not limited to Nathan, Brooke, Haley, Peyton etc. If they saw that a dynamic was beloved then they wrote to it. Like Haley and Brooke, Nathan and Haley, Brooke and Peyton etc. They added a ton of great side characters who then became main characters when they realized the gold that they had... like Skills for instance. And the actors elevated the writing and sometimes turned the trash into gold. The actors were great, with the major exception of the creator they had some great writers in the writer's room, they had some great female directors, and some of the actors got many chances to direct.

Though I will say that Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams really turned a lot of trash into GOLD in Dawson's Creek. They didn't always have much to work with but they spun it into gold.

I will also say that Riverdale makes Dawson's Creek look like Picasso in TV form lmao

also while we were questing darkmoor we got fed up FAST and id like to issue a formal apology to the two random people we were teamed up with for the upper halls because when we got to shane von shane the in chat discussion centered around how we would like to beat him with a baseball bat or put him in a pillow case and throw him at the wall until he stopped moving. this game is rated E for everyone

shoutout to that one april fools video from forgotten weapons for making me think about how firearms evolved over the course of the fallout universe

[txttletale]

hey not trying to be a shithead but genuinely curious; and not saying it isnt, but what makes honest hearts like super racist? because, okay its been a while but i dont remember it being *that* bad?

am i missing something? (probably)

well, essentially, the whole dlc hinges its plot on its idea of 'tribal' society vs. 'civilized' society. this is like... a distinction with origins in 19th century scientific racism used to argue that indigenous peoples were 'primitive' and 'backwards', a lesser form of life compared to the more developed 'civilized' people. and this is a distinction that is everywhere in all the fallout games, including new vegas (i think it's super fucking racist that the white gloves practice of cannibalism is constantly narratively linked to their 'tribal origins' and described in the terms of a regression or degeneration)--but honest hearts is about it and so it's really inescapable.

joshua sawyer can say whatever he likes about multi-ethnic diverse groups or whatever but the tribes in honest hearts are very clearly inspired by racist stereotypes about native americans--they are naive, gullible morons (follows-chalk can't understand the concept of a casino) at worst and noble savages with (textually) biblical innocence at best. their names, their art, their societies--all just a white guy's idea of "vaguely native american" without any research or care.

and imo worst of all (and this is something im aware the devs have properly acknowledged) they have absolutely no agency--your role in the dlc is to be a "civilized" outsider who tells them which of two white "civilized" mormons to listen to. none of the 'tribals' are able to make their own decisions or lead themselves--they need a mormon missionary to tell them what to do! there is no way to resolve the dlc without picking which white mormon missionary they should listen to other than just murdering everyone indiscriminately.

and, like--i am aware that honest hearts thinks it is gesturing towards a critique of these ideas. you can criticize the paternalism daniel shows towards the sorrows, and the dlc clearly intended it to be criticized--but that criticism is weak and hollow when the only way to follow up on it is to put a different white mormon in charge. it is the most archetypal white saviour narrative possible--and yes, i also know daniel was 'supposed to be asian', but that doesn't change anything because he is in fact, as the "civilized" missionary preaching paternalistically to the "primitive tribals", fundamentally white-coded

so i mean yea it's racist because it relies on racist stereotypes about native americans, mandates that a white person come and take charge of these poor stupid 'tribes'--but even if you changed all that, it's fundamentally about an idea of 'civilization vs. tribal society' that it accepts as a true and meaningful distinction as its core premise, and that is just a straight up racist premise.

(and the reason i keep bringing up that both daniel and josh are mormons is that mormons have a long and storied history of brutal violence and colonialism against indigenous peoples, from their original violent settlement of utah to their 'indian placement program' to their deeply racist scripture, which makes their portrayal as benevolent white saviours particularly galling and repulsive)

joshua sawyer is currently tweeting about being trapped in chicago due to the tornado watch so I'm gonna brave the storm, jump on the train to O'Hare Airport, make it past security, and find him in the terminals just so we can finally, ultimately get an answer about whether sunny smiles was ever intended to be a companion

@lynettethemadscientist replied to your post “me: narratively, it's much more interesting to...”:

I’m willing to hear a humanized view of Raiders. Though I doubt it will convince me

Sure, I'll expand on this. Point of note, this is pretty West Coast/FNV-centric since that's my primary area of interest.

Let's start with defining terms since this is the piss-on-the-poor website. A raider is a bandit, someone who survives by plunder, often roaming in search of things to steal or people to attack. Many raider gangs in the Wasteland are relatively loose allegiances of a few like-minded individuals, but some are established social groups with distinct cultures. The 80s, the Vipers, and the Khans are examples of raider groups that expanded to fit the definition of a tribe—that is, a social division consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect.

The 80s, first outlined in Joshua Sawyer's rpg, are a gang of bandits that operate along the Northern California 80 Freeway and have long contested territory with the White Legs; The Vipers are organized around their shared religion, which is only vaguely described as ancient, but there are what appear to be ritualistic elements to their organization and raiding practices.

The Khans, inspired by Genghis Khan and the Mongols Motorcycle Club, value strength and martial prowess. Founded around 2141, the Khans raided and traded around Shady Sands and Junktown before they were wiped out by the Vault Dweller. Darion, the lone survivor of the original gang, rebuilt it into the New Khans, who in turn were largely destroyed by the Chosen One. Finally, Papa Khan united the fragmented bands and led them to the Mojave in 2267, where they settled. The massacre at Bitter Springs establishes that at this point, the Khans include non-combatants in their group such as children and elders, and until the NCR occupation, Bitter Springs was their home.

I'm going to proceed on the assumption that we all agree that genocide is wrong and set aside the Khans for now, especially because they are a faction that is not immediately hostile to the player, in contrast to the Vipers, Jackals, and Fiends.

Despite their lore, the Vipers don't get anywhere near the development the Khans have and end up in the category of fodder for the player to indiscriminately kill, an act for which you can even gain karma. And this is what brings me to the point of the original post, which is... hey, what the fuck?

I understand from a game mechanics perspective that it's useful to have an unlimited supply of enemies that the player can slaughter for experience points. But, that necessarily dehumanizes the members of that group, which is extra fucked up when you consider that some of them, like the Vipers, are a distinct tribal group.

And even in the case of, say, the Fiends, who we are told are fueled only by bloodlust/dependence on chems and presumably lack any sort of identifiable cultural allegiance, I don't like that it's considered morally good to just kill them all. They're still people.

I would like, especially from a role-playing game, to have more options to talk them down, to get them help for their addictions, and attempt to reintegrate them into society. Maybe that doesn't work on every character, maybe some of them really do just revel in violence and bloodshed and don't want a way out, but I'd like more recognition that raiders aren't a monolith and don't exist in a vacuum, that these are individuals who were driven to where they are by myriad circumstances and an underlying need to survive. It's more realistic and more interesting.

The way the Khans are developed has plenty of problems, certainly, but I appreciate that there was at least some development of who these people are and how they got to be where they are, and I think that's something that's lacking with a lot of the others.
