i have so many issue with Fallout as a series, but point fucking one in my mind is “where does the food come from?”
almost nobody is farming in Fallout. without massive industrialization and transport infrastructure (which we see no evidence for), the few meager farms in the wastes would barely cover the needs of the people farming them. there aren’t enough animals for all of the protein needs of every wastelander, and am i meant to expect that the 2010’s vision of the 1950’s vision of 2076 had so much stocked up food production that it could last 200 years? most real-life fallout shelters had maybe 18 months of food, if that. if they were really well-stocked and managed who got to come in, they might be able to cover 36 months of food.
food takes a lot of time, energy, water, and space, and i don’t see any of that being dedicated to food production in the Fallout universe.
i know that vast farmlands being worked by hundreds of people don’t make for good gameplay, but i don’t see any systems in place for the farming to be done far from the wastes, either. the roads aren’t good enough to run a cart over, and i don’t see new cart tracks or roads being built in any fallout property.
the vaults would be able to self-sustain if well-designed, but the in-universe vault-tec isn’t the kind of company to do that; there are a scant few times we see any kind of farming in vaults, and the corn field we see in the TV series wouldn’t sustain the population of the vault it’s in, trade or no trade.
#i don’t expect anything to be fixed#proper food infrastructure would ruin the games#but like#the supplemental media at least could address this#kinda surprised New Vegas doesn’t have more farming tho#the mojave would benefit from fewer upstream demands on the Colorado#i’d actually be concerned about the Hoover Dam over-topping#i know there are emergency spillways#but there’s no evidence of them being used in the game#fallout#complaining about games

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst
#peach rambles#hall of fame i guess#i love hearing everyone share their stories in the comments. me personally? this is about kingdom hearts#usually the main culprit is disdain and dusty old misogynistic takes for kairi (the main girl)#there's x reader occasionally#cursed content with random disney characters#or people who complain about how much the series has expanded#that don't understand that over half the story is contained in the so-called 'side games'#or just generally dusty takes that have been disproven already

"Astarion doesn't do big romantic gestures."
My Durge still trying to get graveyard dirt out of her ass crack after being lovingly pounded into it by Astarion who wanted to share with her this deeply joyful and meaningful reclamation of himself after sharing a vulnerable declaration of his love, at this place he hasn't shown anyone else but her: "Then what the actual fuck was that???"
#people get too hung up on the flowers thing and don't actually appreciate how deeply romantic that bastard mosquito is#he's a very private person and unlearning to perform so he isn't waxing poetic about you all the time#But like the whole “you'll flit back into my heart” bit if durge loses is some of the most romantic dialogue in the entire game#even lae'zel is complaining about your constant pda#And this isn't stealing a trait from Wyll#Astarion and Wyll are both romantic they just are in different ways#they are going to do things that fit their own personalities#wyll is going to take you to a grand ball and treat you like royalty the entire time while dancing the night away#astarion is going to take you to that same ball so you can both scam/pickpocket the nobles and have a risky public quickie in the gardens#bg3#astarion#durge#bg3 astarion#bg3 spoilers#astarion x durge#astarion romance

If even acknowledging antisemitism within your community spaces is going to "distract from the cause," maybe that's because the foundation of your beliefs comes down to antisemitism. What you're doing is telling on yourself.
#jumblr#jewish politics#personal thoughts tag#yes if you're in the group chat this is a vague post but seeing that (what i complained about) made me realize this#maybe it wasn't all that bad then???#this has the same energy as people who say that acknowledging transphobia in feminist spaces is wrong#because obviously you can only focus on One Thing At A Time like we're in a video game! (sarcasm)#i promise you can be against bigotry of all kind and it won't take away from anything about your causes#like i'm a Believer In Feminism and i also focus on fixing transphobia within these spaces i am in! it's EASY!!!#it's easy because i see trans people as intrinsic human beings i'll give you that but it's still easy#women are not Missing Out on my activism because i am focused on more than one thing at a time

I know people have mentioned it before, but modern Zelda UI has been genuinely so awful. Everything being in one straight line, that you can barely sort, with so many resources. It can't be intuitive, right?
Imagine if they remade Majora's Mask again, and this is what the mask selection screen looked like.
It would be so awful. It would be so cruel.
#i ❤️ complaining about games that haven't come out yet#i hate to be so pessimistic but honestly eow might just be one of those games that comes out and it's like. “yup. i played it”#punching the floor#the legend of zelda#loz#tloz#eow#echoes of wisdom#majoras mask

Can we know more about Kinga? She's so butc- I mean pret - I mean step on m - I mean DAMNIT!!! You know what I mean.
Hahaha yeah xD
Kinga is a guard at Sunset Savanah palace. She's been friends with Imani (Falena's wife) for a very long time and has been her personal bodyguard for years.
She's had a fling with Leona when they were young teens but between him running away to NRC and her duties, it never went anywhere. When he graduated from school they became friends again (though with Leona now having two boyfriends they never flirted again). She has been appointed as Leona's bodyguard a few times.
After Leona's wedding, Leona came to her to ask about helping him get a biological kid. She was off duty due to injury (a few broken bones, nothing major) and agreed to it. Since Koffi's birth she became her nanny when she's not busy doing bodyguard duties for Imani. Koffi considers her more like her close aunt than her actual mother, but the two are still very close and spend a lot of time together.
Kinga is regularly invited to family dinners (involving both Falena's and Leona's sides of the family). She is close to everybody there, but she does get along the best with Leona, Imani, and Jamil.
She's strong headed, stubborn, and unapologetic. A real fierce lioness whose claws and fangs are particularly sharp. She will do anything to protect her wards and is very duty oriented.
She has a soft spot for hamsters and she knits and does bead work in her free time. Her favorite flowers are Chinese lanterns (Physalis alkekengi) though she doesn't really like the taste of their fruits.
(And tho nobody asked here's some more of Imani)

Hi isat fandom. Points at the sign.
#ocean surely nobody actuall-‘ I’ve seen enough arts that get this wrong. yes it’s real I’ve seen it#the bitter ocean talks#anyway if anyone is genuinely confused on how to draw Mirabelle on model the creator of the game has a post showing how to draw her hair#and also Google is free. Hope this helps.#anyway yeah. 👍🏾#idk man it kind of gets irritating to see as a black person#when people complain about how hard it is to draw characters who look like you and say that it ‘doesn’t fit my style’ or whatever#I’m not saying anyone is perfect but like you could make the effort. to grow and learn perhaps

whats so fun about the vaccinator (vacc slander)?
You come to my blog and disrespect me like that.
Have some vaccinator propaganda.
Some textless panels that I enjoyed drawing and rambling about the vaccinator medigun under the cut.
Surprise, it's only medic.
I am not saying the vaccinator is not absolutely broken, I 100% feel dirty using it against a badly coordinated team, hence I wouldn't mind if it received a nerf in the future.
A lot of people analyse the vaccinator as only useful against a badly coordinated enemy team, but I think it's much better as a weapon for when your own team sucks ass has bad synergy, since any form of uber is pretty much wasted on everyone (if you can even build enough charge). To compensate for everyone's mistakes, just make sure they stay alive long enough to capture points and push the cart. Everyone will automatically stay with you, and soon you'll have a nice meat shield of 4 people swarming around you. You know it's working, when there's suddenly 3 demoknights and a spy after you.
I love micromanaging my resistance bubbles, and I love micromanaging my team without them noticing that I'm doing it. Pressing the R-button to rotate through resistances feels like such a much more engaging contribution to the battles your patients are fighting.
Vaccinator is busted, but absolutely not boring.
And to close this rambling, here's my fav video about the vaccinator:
youtube
#team fortress 2#tf2#tf2 medic#tf2 heavy#tf2 scout#tf2 sniper#tf2 soldier#I would also like to place a disclaimer here: I am absolutely not good at this game#In no way is what this comic here shows meta knowledge#I just haven't seen a lot of people point out the positive sides of the vaccinator#which are: It's objectively the most engaging medigun and genuinely fun to use#People will complain about how playing medic is boring but the same people discourage the use of the vaccinator#If I see anyone try to spew hate about my opinion on this gun I'm blocking you fr

Curly's little blurb on his steam trading card just keeps reminding me he is a much more miserable person than people realize.
We don't get a lot of his thoughts, inner confliction that aren't bogged down by what Jimmy says or does. Even in the The Last One and Then Another, his dialogue is reflective, not the Curly before the crash but the result of everything. Parts of the him he was are there of course, but also disfigured and warped beyond recognition just like he is physically.
Curly really doesn't think much of himself and desires. He clearly chases fleeting moments of happiness. He doesn't really have prospects for himself, assumes in a similar way to Swansea, that if it should make it happy then he is happy. Though, he hasn't reached the point Swansea did to admit it doesn't. He neither sees the glass half full or empty, it's just water, something he needs and he'll take it from any perspective.
He wasn't running from anything but he's never really been going towards something either. He's listless. I've been using the term complacent to describe how he feels about his life and the closest people (really just Jimmy) in it, but now that word feels too neutral, too nice. Happier than Curly really was. There isn't just one word for it, he's unfulfilled, uncertain, uninspired. There are no active problems he faces and that's the issue, why should he be upset?
I believe he really is a person who doesn't know who he is or wants to be. He follows a structure. I don't think he's suicidal, but he clearly doesn't think about what makes him happy. He's numb. I suppose that is a better word than complacent, used to the feeling even if he hates it. It doesn't hurt so why stop it?
#like curly is very much does his job goes home takes care of self repeat i dont think hes like an asocial person but he doesn't take the tim#time to indulge in himself the way he thinks hes a bigger picture guy so as long as nothing is disrupted hes relatively okay even if its#slowly chipping away at him and making him feel hollow like he thought space was endless that he could never reach a point of feeling finis#he never had to predict what to do after the end and suddently he realizes there was no end to it because there cant be an end to nothing#hes accomplished so much objectively but hes done nothing with his life outside of his work like he mentions no hobbies other friends or an#thing of the sort he doesn't even feel like he can vent it cause what? hes complaining about how hard it is to get promoted to have securit#in a job you hate and a position that keeps weighing you down like I feel like if he explained himself at the party and didn't let Jimmy t#talk for him hed actually have made points the others would get cause even if they envied his position he still is justified in being unhap#not everything that you think would bring you happiness does or fulfills even a small part of that desire#idk hes a lot more fucked in the head but like towards himself than people realize like how he lets Jimmy treat him is indicitive of that i#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#captain curly#curly mouthwashing

made the mistake of reading negative hades 2 reviews and it's somehow baffling and yet not surprising at all at the same time 💀
"ugh they made the gods nonwhite" "ugh it's woke now" "it's all just forced diversity because of the first game's success" HADES 1 WAS ALREADY LIKE THAT???? like i know you're just a bigot but i cannot stress enough how much the original hades was already like that. we already had athena, ares, dionysus and patroclus. the first game literally let zagreus be in a polyamorous relationship with both a man and a woman AND be qpps with dusa. what are you on about
#leo.txt#IT'S BASICALLY ALL LIKE THIS#also people complaining about hephaestus being disabled DIE DIE DIE EXPLODE#hades game#hades 2

I'm gonna be so honest with y'all. I don't take you seriously if you complain about the casting of the Percy Jackson show because the poc actors aren't "book accurate."
Because here's the deal. I remember when the internet threw a fit when Rue, a black character, was played by a black person. It didn't matter that it was book accurate, y'all didn't want to see a black person on screen.
For some of y'all, it's not that you are against adaptations straying from the source material- you are simply anti black.
If you are about to argue with me, I want you to ask yourself something. Did you not mind the race change of Grover, but you are against the casting of Annabeth? If that's true, maybe try to address that. Acknowledge it and try to deconstruct your anti-black biases.
#being black in fandom spaces is so tiring#i am utterly exhausted#yall complaining about how now annabeth wont have an arc of not being taken seriously is sending me#its TOTALLY not like black people aren't seen as smart or resourceful and constantly not being taken seriously#that would be RIDICULOUS#anyway im tired but i am enjoying the show so far#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#the hunger games
