  • Fun fact: pretty much all exit-saves in Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout, etc.) are not necessarily complete in their Data. There are actual cases where these can be easily corrupted and won’t work on a reload or even introduce long time save corruption if you use them. Don’t ever trust an exit-save in those games! (Source: me fooling around with the save system too much)


  • From the Wikipedia article of the stalker movie

    Several people involved in the film production, and possibly Tarkovsky himself, died from causes that some crew members attributed to the film’s long shooting schedule in toxic locations.

    Sound designer Vladimir Sharun recalled: “We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris.”

    The production story of that movie was wild






  • Encased is a CRPG, heavily inspired by the classic Fallout games, bringing it’s mechanics into the modern age. It’s story is based on the classic book “Roadside Picknick” (known for being the inspiration of the Stalker series) and is very well written. It has a story narrator, similar to the Divinity: Original Sin games and a very in depth character creation. At the start you choose a department of a research company to work in, which will change the way you interact with many characters, adding some replay value. Anything more I could say would be a spoiler, but the entire beginning (first half to one hour) is an absolute banger.

    It’s my favorite indie game of the last few years and at the time of writing this, it is currently 90% of on steam, an absolute bargain

    The ghoul drug thingy is actually a really good lore addition. It recontextualizes a lot of the games in an interesting way. If ghouls have to take these drugs and make enough money to afford them, the implications on morality of previous ghoul characters is fascinating.

    And about the vault tech meeting: this plot point is actually older than new vegas. They took that from the scrapped fallout movie that they wanted to make in the Interplay/Black Isle era. I thought it was absolutely awesome that they researched fallout enough to even know about this obscure thing





  • In recent times republicans in the USA are trying to push weird laws to force trans people to not express themselves and conform with their assigned gender at birth.

    This cartoon was made by a trans man. For them its a usual process in transitioning to have their breasts removed. With such laws, trans men would be required to somehow get breasts again to appear in public, which is obvious stupid.

    So to answer your question: Yes, Republicans are trying to force people into gender reassignment. This is just an extension of them trying to take away people’s medication, bully children and torture women
