all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.

[quietwingsinthesky]

god forbid you teach kids that their consent should be respected rather than about the inherent immorality of all the sinful actions of their peers

There's a question which the west coast Fallout games are quietly litigating, which is that age-old gotcha about what you do with the remaining orcs once you've deposed Sauron. In the original Fallout, the Super Mutants are basically universally aligned against the quote-unquote "good guys," for whatever value of that term is applicable to the wasteland at large, but subsequent games make it clear that this was an ideological thing, and a product of the political moment of the mutants creation rather than an ontological quality that they have. The game is very aware that this is something that was done to them, and the tragedy of that; the first mutant you're likely to run into is dying scared and alone.

Fallout 2 presents super mutants who've broken in every direction ideologically in the aftermath of the Unity's collapse; the peacemakers under Marcus at Broken Hills, Gond as a member of the abolitionist NCR rangers, reactionary remnants of the original mutant army, genocidal self-hating fascists like Frank Horrigan. Fallout: New Vegas iterates on this beautifully. The mutants dovetail perfectly with the theme of how every faction in the wasteland is trying and oftentimes failing to reckon with the weight of history. Their utopian movement imploded outside of living memory, closer to the apocalypse than to the present day. The survivors- who can only dwindle in number due to their sterility- have been left to reckon with that in whatever way they can. And they have their backs to about a hundred and twenty years of that reckoning not going particularly well, of being the bugbear and boogeymen for bullies and ideologues whose grandparents weren't even alive to suffer from the Unity's actions. The lack of a collective future for mutantkind casts a pall over even the best ending for Jacobstown; humans are collectively resilient within this setting, but through violence, and accidents, dementia and senility, the day will inevitably come when there are no mutants left. And worse still will be the day before that, when there's only one mutant left. Finding some form of satisfaction or contentment within that dwindling window, with the world against you, is a task that falls to the individual mutant. (Take Mean Sonovabitch, for example. He seems to be doing alright for himself.)

Then we slide on over to the east coast games, where the mutants are.... morons. Cannibals. Marauders. And when you meet one who isn't, the game throws itself a ticker-tape parade for containing such an audacious twist. To go back to the orc thing, it's like if The Hobbit had contained a lengthy, empathetic subplot about the rich internality and fleshed-out-if-deeply-flawed ideology of the orcs, and then there was a pivot to treating them like a monolithic block of ontologically evil marauders in LOTR. While staring you straight in the eye the whole time, unblinking. Daring you to say something

The censorship of women's nipples is craaazy. Like it is blatantly just "we will censor your body but only if you're a marginalized class who we consider inherently obscene/sexual" like holy shiiiiit why do we even humor this bullshit?

The Gay Mod (US/EU) [Tomodachi Life] [Mods]

A Tomodachi Life (TL) Mod in the Other/Misc category, submitted by viri^_^

Tomodachi Life for 3DS now finally has a gay mod, happy pride month

[webtomo]

As an addendum, this is not the same mod as the cancelled mod by Kobazco, This mod is created by viri^_^. It essentially enables universal bisexuality for all Miis. This mod, however, does not entirely fix some gendered dialogue issues (namely Miis being misgendered in certain dialogues, as well as the fact that in weddings there will always be one Mii in a dress and another in a tux). For that, I would suggest the Gender Removal Mod, created by CandyGames and ironminer888, which rewrites all gendered dialogue with they/them pronouns. Both mods can work together with no conflictions, since the Gay mod does not alter any dialogue.

✍️ Behind the Scenes ✍️

Josh Sawyer once said that The Forecaster was inspired by elements of Fallout (1997) title, and the Cathedral.

He was inspired by the experiments performed in the Cathedral in Fallout 1. The Master's minions were performing experiments with psykers. The psychic nullifiers they wore were part of the experiments. He's honest when he says the nullifier makes him feel better, but we don't explain how or why. I also wanted the first child the player was (likely) to meet to be friendly and helpful.

We are proud to announce that our Founder and Overseer Kate Aces has hit ONE MILLION EDITS!

This is an incredible achievement. So much time and effort has gone into this, and the hard work certainly shows. Congratulations Kate! Here is to one million more!

Mastercard and visa have reported to a couple news outlets that they are currently being swamped with calls and complaints. Keep up the pressure and try to (politely) insist that you leave a complaint via phone instead of letting the rep direct you to emails. It's way easier to be overwhelmed by a much smaller number of calls so each one counts for a bit more!

This blsky thread has scripts and hotlines so if you wanna reblog this version instead that would be appreciated!!

On Honest hearts

Hot take of the day,

If you think Honest hearts honestly supports the concept of a white man's burden or anything of the sort is absurd. Sure characters engage in this line of thinking to varying degrees (Daniel and Joshua) but they aren't meant to be idolized. Daniel is a hypocrite who treats the natives more like children than actual people and gets people into following his faith via giving them medical aid and shit. He hides the death of Waking cloud's SO from her just so that fact wouldn't affect the work she was doing.

Joshua Graham change of nature is debatable. Unless you do the speech check at the end to prevent him from executing the white leg's leader it is clear he just sees the people of Zion as a means of a end and that end is violence and conquest. He might hate Caesar but imho he has traded one master for another.

As always depiction doesn't mean endorsement

The whole “they voted for it” rhetoric in regard to the low quality of life in red states (specifically in the south) makes me want to start killing and maiming. Frothing at the mouth and clawing. Reading through the screen and grabbing that lib’s throat. It is easier to turn your empathy off and classism on and say “all the people in that state are stupid broke redneck white trash so why should I care about them”, I’m sure.

[narratorvera]

While it is foolish to call all of the south racist etc, I still don't like this level of infantilization of the fascists fucks who got us here. They're fucking adults voting for adults who made it clear as day "WE WANT TO AND WILL KILL MINORITIES".

[dee-the-red-witch]

Not your bruh. Not your bro. Not a dude, guy or any number of other male descriptors you feel like you need to somehow pass off as gender neutral.

The worst part is knowing that dumping those words from your vocabulary isn't hard, it's just work most of you refuse to do. We're just gonna keep on doing this dance like we've been doing for fucking decades. Men aren't the norm or the standard, or even the majority. Why let guy terms be the default language?
