Okay, why are there Raiders and brotherhood in California. Both were nearly extinct 20 years ago. Whyyy. Whyyyyyyyy.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Started watching Fallout (2024)
- Thread starter RoxburyRick
- Start date
I'll take a look for a laugh but there's no way it's anything worth watching regardless of who they cast.
Has it been that long already? Proof that you can put out any old shit and enough people will eat it up because of an attached brand name.
Me and my friends got so excited for that shit since it was finally a fallout with coop and I think we played for a total of 8 hours before we ever touched it again
4 was bad enough
Back then if someone had said it'd still be going after almost a decade, I'd have said they were retarded. Now the whole Fallout brand is being turned into the next Star Wars.
Raiders in Fallout are a generic term like 'outlaw'. So they will never be extinct unless something like the Legion actually civilizes everyone.
I don't know, unless the Yes Man ending is canon the west coast should be civilized.
The government WOULD assign niggers to vaults so it makes sense. It would be treated as equivalent to a masters degree when determining worth.
Brotherman perhaps the NCR haven't been formed yet?
it all seems so contrived and lazy from a writing perspective. Michael Rappaport didn't need to be in it at all. The dyke bitch getting passed over didn't need to happen at all. It's established the black guy has wanted to be in the brotherhood since he was a kid, he should be driven to succeed, it's his lifelong goal, him pussing out and only getting the slot because some lesbo got her foot cut off makes zero sense. Again we have a male protagonist who means well but is a bit clumsy, stupid, hapless, and meek. The lesbian is just there to emasculate him.
The way the characters meet up is just so lazy. Goggins is good. They should've let that dog die but of course that would take balls and lord knows the reddit crowd won't have that.
Also is it just me or do the enclave guys look like nazis?!
Then I remember it's based on a fucking video game and it's gonna be watched by nerds who eat this horseshit up every time. I'm retarded for even watching it.
Finally, the level of violence in the show is fine given the source material. But why zoomers are so OK with such vicious, gratuitous violence but sperg out over bad words will never make sense to me.

Said it already, they're literally a constant and ubiquitous thing. The only games in which they aren't a factor are all the ones set on the east coast (3 in Washington, 4 in Boston, 76 in West Virginia although no one up here ever played 76 so it's an assumption.) Fallouts 1, 2 and NV are California and Nevada and you can't play the game without acknowledging the NCR exist. This would cover the entire timeline of the games upto 20 years before the show starts.
Even if you take the most generous story and say they were defeated by the Legion at Hover Dam and ousted from power, fine but that equates to the idea that there was never another mention of Hitler in our world after 1955. It's not like no one would mention they were in power where the show's set. It's lazy writing.
These are the same people that did Westworld, they've already said they never played the games and just want to bring this "to a wider audience" like it's some flimsy, obscure IP that no one's heard of and not a multi Game of the Year level thing that lots of people were happy with before.
We're with you up here, we want to like it but it's a worse idea than Many Saints and we're not going to watch it.
Because it’s a stupid tv show that only stupid faggots will watch. Someone said the vaults were connected which would defeat the purpose of the vaults, right? I’d usually get blackout drunk playing Fallout then forget most of the story so I’m a bit hazy on the plot points.
Not really. You play as someone who's never seen the world, so not knowing is probably better.
What I thought but no. It's canonically the furthest in the timeline
What’s the earliest one you played? 4 was the first one I played and I thought it was good without any knowledge of the world. I understand that it’s the least immersive one. New Vegas was way better though. 3 came out when I was in HS and I was way too obsessed with Halo to bother.
I've played all of them including tactics and shit. I'm a fanboy homo with 0 lore retention.
Edit : this isn't true. I never played 76
Further edit : I did play 74-75 by the Connells tho.
I finished it and honestly enjoyed it quite a bit up until a point. The earlier episodes where it was just focused on the smaller stories of the main characters, it worked great. When they tried to explain everything in the last episode though, it just became a mess. The character's motivations end up making no sense and there's so much shit they don't explain.
Also some of the sexual humor is so fucking cringe. The main army guy who spent his life living in barracks apparently thinks getting an erection is some kind of malfunction and the girl has to explain to him that's what's supposed to happen. Ugh.
I won't pretend there was nothing good about it though. Walton Goggins is great and they definitely created a much more convincing post apocalyptic world compared to something like the last of us, where most of the time it just looked like shitty cgi.
