Fallout: Plasma Caster

Were you previously aware that in the demo for original Fallout, the Plasma Rifle was instead named “Plasma Caster?”

This was changed to Plasma Rifle in the final game. The “Plasma Caster” name was later adopted in Fallout: New Vegas for the weapon of the same name.

You can read more about Plasma Rifles and Casters here:

It works exactly like the staff in skyrim only with this i have to worry about radroaches the size of cars and an bizzar chain of enemy changes like ghoul becomes deathclaw that becomes a turret that becomes a super mutant that becomes a bug that becomes a courser that becomes a gen 1 synth and it goes on until the enemy becomes either a settler or a mini liberty prime who drop random gear

PLEASE IF THE DAEDRA WERE IN FALLOUT

Just re-watching episode 3 and when Maximus gets beaten up for his armour the dude punching him is wearing a power-fist.

OMFG I love the attention to detail in this show

[vaguely-concerned]

can't believe garak went from 'hope you have fun following my little breadcrumb trail of maybe-truths doctor it builds character ;)' at the beginning of the show to '*sigh* fuck it here's the whole loaf. the entire fucked up bakery of my soul. if you somehow still wanna have sex with me after this you know where I am, yours in infinite longing etc.' in a stitch in time. has anyone ever been so pathetically horrifically enduringly down bad as garak is for julian (laudatory)

Fat Man from Fallout. It's not per say a direct recreation as the base is the one from Fallout4 but the texture is a mix of its version and Fallout 3/NV.

so, i'm a weirdo and have archived some old atomic age propaganda, PSAs & commercials on my plex server. however, i was dismayed that that there were no proper posters available for them, making my library look kinda bad and messy, imo. so, i made some myself!

here's some of my favorites:

some of these were more complex than others, but for all of them i used pre-existing materials as the basis for them. i made sure to incorporate visual elements from the respective shorts into the poster design, but i also looked to pamphlets and posters of the time for inspiration and elements that I could use.

i also had to go hunting down some of these fonts to match the specific style i was going for, and that was a pain in the ass lol

(also, fun little easter egg, i layered some flipped text at a low opacity over the "Fallout When and How to Protect Yourself Against It" poster to give it that look of a cheap pamphlet. the text is a transcription from an interview with a scientist explaining why fallout shelters don't work. the same fallout shelters that the psa in question heavily promotes.)

When I first got into Fallout and was delightfully babbling to my friends about all the fucked up vault experiments and such they looked at me like I was crazy and asked why the hell I liked it so much. At the time I didn’t really have an answer other than I liked the contrast of how silly it could get compared to the darker qualities—how it bounced between the two or combined them into a wonderful satire on capitalism.

After watching and rewatching the show, logging hundreds of hours across multiple games, and several posters up on my wall later, I think I finally understand why.

The games are set up for you to be the hero, to make your slice of the wasteland a better place, but unlike a lot of other media, being the hero is an active choice that you have to make over and over again. You are presented with a cruel, violent world that brings out the worst in humanity, and yet these games ask you to be kind, to help out an NPC with a small favor, or sacrifice something important for the greater good. It isn’t easy. A lot of times the best choice isn’t going to be perfect either, with many ethical decisions boiling down to harm reduction or the lesser of two evils—whatever gives the wasteland the best chance at survival. Sometimes you need to bloody your hands, but other times the better outcome results in maybe not forgiveness but refusing to act on revenge. Heroism is often challenging and morally grey at times.

Sure, you could choose to be evil, but it’s almost too easy—I find it so much more satisfying to be empathetic, to surprise characters with hope that the world doesn’t have to be so bleak. I guess in many ways it’s a type of Superman fantasy, having not only the desire to be kind but the power to be so in a world filled with darkness.

And it’s not just the player character vs the world, there are plenty of companions and other NPCs surviving and working to make things better. Here you are at the end of the world, yet people endure and life goes on. People grow crops, tend to livestock, and set up trade. They build communities and carve out homes in the ruins of the old world.

I guess in simpler terms, I like Fallout because it’s a hopeful display of humanity persevering. War may never change, but men can. I think a light in the dark is always going to get me, especially when that light is a spark trying to illuminate an entire sea of darkness. That spark may be hard to find, but goddamn how impressive is it that it’s trying so hard against all odds.

Swordtember 2024, Pt. 2

Continuing my strange, pop-culture, RPG-style take on Swordtember, I've got a collection of 8 new swords from across a variety of media. This set includes Bloodborne, Magic: the Gathering, Monster Hunter, and more.

What you see here isn't all though. Two other famous blades-- Frostmourne from the Warcraft series, and the Poison Blade from Asssassin's Creed-- are also available, but only over on my Patreon! No worries on price though, it's totally free, as long as you're willing to follow my work on there.
