"Ahh, you're here. Good. We've got a problem. A big one. The controller chip for our water purification system has given up the ghost. Can't make a new one and the process is too complicated for a work around system. Simply put, we're running out of drinking water. No water, no Vault." -Vault 13 Overseer (Fallout)

sorry. has anyone done this yet

[theqhreator42]

Gonna make a post-apocalyptic game where the faction that makes the most sense also has a crazy aesthetic. I don't trust people who weather the apocalypse looking like slightly dilapidated suburbanites

Taglist here.

Three OCs from various series for each of the three quizzes. 16 Main Archetype Quiz Here, Bullshit Aesthetic Quiz Here and Good Parent Quiz Here. Results below the cut:

Here's the 16 Archetypes quiz results for OCs from The UnTitledverse, The Silver Chronicles and Life, Despair & Monsters. Results below:

JOAQUIN COBALT (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

I don't think the Sidekick fits Joaquin's archetype, but he likely wishes he was. Though in his own self-perception, he's trying to compensate his accidental existence by trying to be something significant, despite the fact he doesn't believe he's much of anything than an accidental miracle.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES (FAR CRY 5, FAR CRY NEW DAWN)

Regret isn't the only thing Silva is filled with... trauma is a close second. However, ultimately I agree (mostly) with this archetype, unless I do a bit more research on Archetypes that is. But this result is pretty solid.

HAOYU ANABUKI (LIFE, DESPAIR & MONSTERS)

I think this mostly applies to Haoyu way down later at the completion of their arc, though before all that they're a selfish little twerp.

Bullshit OC Aesthetic Quiz results for OCs from An Old Ballad Of Chance And Ember Hearts, A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore and lastly The UnTitledverse.

DISCORD, THE MAD KIN OF CARNAGE (AN OLD BALLAD OF CHANCE AND EMBER HEARTS TRILOGY)

I don't think this fits Discord at all. He is literally a walking wasteland, everything around him reverts to its most basic form (which is eventually nothing). He is as close as to the embodiment of the end as possible, but as well as a abhorrent denial rebirth. He just destroys things, lets it wither away horrifically. He's more close to the dirt than he is to flesh.

ELRAND BRANDT (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE (FALLOUT (1997))

I don't think Twilight is an aesthetic for Elrand. However, due to living in a post apocalyptic world, I think it would smell a bit like old burns. I don't know just my take on it.

MARU (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

Being an Illusion Spirit, I think this aesthetic fits Maru very well. She is after all dead and does work for the Wicked, which are mostly made up of dead and evil spirits.

Lastly is the "Is Your OC a Good Parent Quiz" which dear god, I hope everyone from The Silver Chronicles gets a good result.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY 5, FAR CRY NEW DAWN])

Silva is definitely a good parent... I'd argue a great one even! Though she can be a bit overprotective but that's not abnormal considering all she's been through. She fought Paul and the Apostles of Zachariah to get back Persephone (even if that ended in tragedy), and went rogue to fight for a peace between Eden's Gate and the Resistance after given some perspective from Azriel. That's not even to mention everything she does for Azriel (and Mercy) when the Congregation of Adam's Guard arrive in Silva's Hope and the Highwaymen in Old Dusk.

PAUL YELLOWJACK (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY NEW DAWN])

In her adolescence he was. Paul was what Silva needed at the time; someone supportive, understanding, and loving. He raised her into the morally strong woman she is today. However, that's not to say his darker aspects which he develops more late in life weren't present. The thing about Paul, while raising Silva, was that he was sometimes overbearing, possessive/co-dependent and had a fear that she'd abandon him, something that worsens after he finds out she's alive (years after the Tumultite Massacre and answering "The Call" and founding the Apostles of Zachariah), and since he lost his morals over the years and had Zachariah of all entities as his guidance, he's not above breaking Silva down for her "betterment"... though he does realize he goes too far after murdering Persephone in retaliation of Silva dismantling the Apostle's operations and killing his fellow heralds. Even after his resurrection/reincarnation, he still cares for her, but is too trapped in his self-loathing to break away from his dark path.

KAMSKI NEON, THE GOOD DOCTOR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES (FAR CRY 5)]

I'd say Kamski's kind of a good parent, just an overprotective helicopter parent is all. I also believe that he's the kind of parent who'd be like "my opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong so you best listen to me". Irene, his blood daughter, likely never questioned this, but after her death and the Tumultite Massacre, when he reunites with Silva, they're basically the only family they have left, so Kamski pretty much pushes this harder onto Silva which is something they have to work through... as well as the pressure and the responsibility he burdens her with too. There's also the fact of trust, since Kamski goes behind Silva's back more often than not when they disagree on something and lies to her about it. So yeah, it's very "so-so" with me. He's good parent with good intentions however he does do some drastic shit since he thinks he knows best plus his "us vs them" attitude with him and Silva as the "us" and literally everyone else as the "them".

FATHER ADAM OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY 5])

"Bad Parent" and "Too Harsh" is an understatement when it comes to Adam; he's an absolute irredeemable evil hypocritical piece of shit who abuses and murders his children. Silva and Elsa were just the most recent pair out of who knows (me, I know) how many, and the longest surviving too. Adam's a dictator who uses his status as a Prophet to oppress others and is extremely bigoted and xenophobic to the point he doesn't bat an eye when causing a massacre of his slave labour... or when invading Montana. Fuck this guy, I can't wait to write his death.

im genuinely confused why everyone is so pressed about the timeline thingy in the fallout show about shady sands

like didnt we go over this in the very first fallout game in 1997?????? DID I MISS SOMETHING OR??

[some-brave-apollo]

Playing Fallout 1 really puts it into perspective how little the show wanted to engage with the established canon. Like, I don't entirely mind. If the show wants to be its own thing or be a new interpretation of Fallout, that's fine. But it does suck that for a Fallout show set in California, there's nearly nothing from the two whole Fallout games set in California.

The state is big, yes, and things have very much changed in the however many years since Fallout 2, but it does now bother me that, for example, a show so focused on the Brotherhood of Steel never makes mention of Lost Hills, or how major cities like The Hub go unmentioned. The followers and the gun runners? All the caravan companies? All gone. The only major similarities is that the NCR is there, the Brotherhood is there, and there used to be a place called Shady Sands. No super mutants in the place that arguably made the most super mutants. It honestly feels like they got people who had only played Fallout 4 and read some reddit posts about Fallout 1 to make the show, and I can say that because what the show seems to know about the West Coast is about as much as I knew when I had only played Fallout 4.

Round 1D

Nike Decades, Popularized by Heaven's Gate: Bear with me, gentle reader, as I talk my way out of another corner here. Some may say it would be crass to include the mass suicide of Heaven's Gate in this bracket, despite this event being one of the most infamous news stories of 1997 and one of the more enduring cult headlines in pop culture today; that commitment to tastefulness is why we're appealing to the sneakerheads instead, baby! Nike Decades, as worn by the members of the Heaven's Gate cult, were all-black, low-top, and had a simple and unassuming design. The choice of Nike Decades was likely influenced by the cult's desire for uniformity and practicality, as they believed that by adopting a uniform appearance, they could shed their individual identities and better prepare for their journey to a higher plane of existence via spaceship. This footwear preference stood out starkly when news of the group's deaths broke, alongside images of the sneakers in this macabre context. Despite Nike's presumed wishes, the strangeness of this fashion choice would make the shoes an inadvertent symbol of the cult. Today, Nike Decades are among the rarest sneakers in the community-- and therefore to some, the most coveted.

Fallout: You're hearing the crackle of the radio as you read this, aren't you? The first Fallout game, released in 1997 by Interplay Entertainment is a classic isometric role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by nuclear war. Players assume the role of the Vault Dweller, tasked with venturing out into the irradiated wasteland to find a water purification chip to save their underground home, Vault 13. The game is characterized by its dark and gritty atmosphere, rich storytelling, and morally complex choices. Its turn-based combat system and character development through the SPECIAL system (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck) were innovative for the time. Fallout's retro-futuristic aesthetic, intricate world-building, and mature themes garnered critical acclaim and laid the foundation for one of the most beloved franchises in gaming.
