The Roundtable / Re: "Fallout" on Amazon Prime
« Last post by Ben on April 26, 2024, 10:37:38 AM »I just finished it yesterday. I am in the "never played Fallout" crowd so came into it tabula rasa.
I will say that I almost turned it off after episode 1 because of the tranny. I have so absolutely had it with the gender stuff being injected in everything, that I am just scorched Earth whenever I see it in something I might otherwise enjoy. I did, however, trudge past it and watched the rest. It took a few episodes for me to get invested, but I ended up liking it by the end.
I thought the "alternate Earth" 1950s stuff was kinda neat. Also, while I'm normally not a fan of "the bad guy is really the good guy and the good guy is really the bad guy and there's a bunch of grey between good and bad", I thought they did that pretty well with those characters.
It seems they set it up for a season 2, so I will certainly watch that when it drops. Okie dokie then.

I liked it. At first the characters didn't feel right for Fallout, but the atmosphere was well done and I think the storyline ended up fitting. Ish.
Definitely suspect we'll see start seeing tweets parroting the "[Communism is] just a dirty word they use to describe people who aren't insane" line, though.

"Hello to the city, goodbye to your luggage. That was Senatorial candidate Adam Schiff’s rude introduction to San Francisco’s vexing reputation for car burglaries Thursday when thieves swiped the bags from his car while it sat in a downtown parking garage," the Chronicle 'reported.'https://twitter.com/kylenabecker/status/1783727231052751272

I'm kind of surprised. This happened in Baltimore, which is covered by the rather left-leaning Baltimore Sun. I'm surprised that they reported on the outcome of the investigation. They certainly reported on the accusations a number of times.
Now this is interesting... from the Sun's report...
"Maryland Transportation Authority Police arrested Darien as he was boarding a plane to Houston from BWI Marshall Airport. Law enforcement officers flagged Darien’s bag for the way he packaged a gun in his checked luggage and discovered he had an active arrest warrant."

It was an associative accusation designed to sow doubt and, by extension, invalidate the whole of the body.

Even CNN called him out
Biden, 81, is blasted by CNN for repeating lie that he used to drive an 18-wheeler...after spending one night as passenger in cargo truck in 1973

« Last post by HankB on April 26, 2024, 09:08:52 AM ». . . Yet my point out that one avenue for learning about such treatments was immediately dismissed because NIH may have provided funding to the Chinese re Corona and that apparently invalidates everything that NIH has ever touched in its nearly 150 year history. Sure. Why not. . . .Exaggerated straw-man responses to a simple question persuade no one.

« Last post by K Frame on April 26, 2024, 08:57:59 AM »OK, so I finally got around to watching the first three episodes of Fallout yesterday.
Holy creeping crap is it weird!
But really, really enjoyable so far.
As I noted below, I never played Fallout, although I may think about getting it for XBox One.
The 1950s atmospheric vibe, especially in the Vaults, though, REALLY reminded me of Bioshock, which is one of my all-time favorite games.
The knights are kind of like Big Daddies (although with a very different purpose), etc.
I'm liking where it's going. It's always fun seeing Walton Goggins.
