I still think people should appreciate media in it's original form rather than updating it to fit with modern stylistic sensibilities. Like, sometimes looking at older graphics gives you appreciation for styles and techniques that have since been abandoned - So I think looking at things how...

I think I'm just against graphical remasters on principle. They kinda seem disrespectful to me. Just play the original, y'know.

My point wasn't that it was high-end or that there weren't much more technically advanced looking games at the time. The point is games are allowed to look a little old - Games are allowed to have technical limitations to their graphics - Not every game has to look 100% the most technically...

See, I feel this video sums it up nicely: There's a lot of nice eye candy, but it also just kills a lot. I was having this conversation with my partner earlier today actually: About this sort of technofetishist tendency to think "New = Better" that just doesn't really hold up. Oblivion looks...

100%, the Omertas straight up make me sick - Every replay of New Vegas - I gotta go mass shooter on Gommorah at some point. I think the difference is that having an entire high-society cannibal organisation is a campy video game type of evil - Whereas the type of evil the Omertas are engaged in...

Fallout Sonora has several Doctor checks in every city (Though it also has it so Doctor's Bags can be used to bypass the checks, and you can use junk to bypass repairs so, mixed feelings) - It also has it so Crippled Limbs happens fairly frequently so it pays off to have a high Doctor. Hell...

Possibly - I don't think I've ever tried a low-luck character - I just like Luck too much. The early to mid game experience of being able to consistently take out creatures way too hard for you like Deathclaws, with well-placed criticals, but then getting your ass beat if you get in a fight...

Ok, but this lowkey could have used some work because in base-game Fallout, Doctor was not very useful. It's better in Fallout 2 because it's what lets you get Implants, and I think there are a few times you can use it on NPCs in the world.

I don't think it being 3D is intrinsically worse - New Vegas is great, and in fact part of it's greatness comes from being 3D and being able to have this really well designed world. However, I do agree with Gizmo that Fallout is intrinsically a 2D Point-and-click game - Something was lost when...

Sulik feels kinda odd to me as time goes on - The idea of, presumably Americans, surviving an apocalypse and suddenly speaking in Patwa and wearing bones through their noses - Doesn't feel like an organic development. It feels like somebody just picked up a bunch of signifiers that indicate...

People on NMA really arguing over which side is more gay, as if being gay isn't epic.

TBH, the Switch 2 trailers all feel like parodies to me Even the name "Switch 2" is just so lazy: Like it used to be there was justification for having new consoles from Nintendo, "Oh this new version of the DS is 3D" type stuff. What do you mean it's the "Switch 2" - at least add a gimmick so...

My hot take: Pre-war stuff should have an aura of mystery about it. Like Fallout 1, the only unoccupied pre-war ruin which has been abandoned the whole time is The Glow, which has been blasted to hell and back with radiation so nothing can survive there. You see the names and job descriptions...
