My new game (old F* game)



 vs the radio station I haven't tuned into yet, "Galaxy news" something,
Enclave is bombastic (garrulous?) and cannot be avoided, it's everywhere.
My little transistorized tv/radio could tune into it, and a couple others
 (I think there is a radio for aliens)

M-5, Landru, and a few AI-others I forget the names of.
John Henry Eden is Landru except he talks a lot better.
Player pretends to be Captain Kirk and points out that the 
computer needs to destroy itself.
Yeahbutt this being a game, it goes on and on past the nice ending.
Should only US Americans get water, and should we poison the aliens?
The failed experiments to build stronger armies?
Colonel Autumn, a real asshole. Unless you believe Reddit, he was a real stand-up kinda guy.
Authoritarian-nationalist, prioritizing power over freedom
(walk, talk, quack, ergo est)


Modifications to this game are called "mods," and that's great, 
but mods that depend upon other mods and a special-installer, 
are a pain in the butt and not worth the hassle.
A guy might get lucky with the standalone mod 
of a powerful gun or with standalone indestructible armor, 
but *usually* it's high effort for little reward, 
and the game already does that.

     "fawkes" is a guy talking like a mental hospital escapee.
His massive meds have distorted his lips into a permanent grimace.
He was so damn popular, they made an action-figure of him.
(He's so damn ugly, the action figure is pretty cheap)





          I'm the "Lone Wanderer", and war never changes, how depressing.
But
It saves $50 or so on a new game, which is sort of the point.

Once the world is destroyed, the permanently pissed-off (and dogs) try to take over what's left.
O, I switched to a newer game. "Fallout 4" (instead of "three") and everyone is even more pissed.
There are no good guys, except maybe some of the robots.
My favorite line that I'll remember for a while, is a supermutant yelling,
"Time for Humans is OVER!" (He's yelling.)
some are rich, some are really well organized, but they hate each other and want them to die.
So Player (me) gets bored fulfilling the bloodthirsty wishes of the different factions.
you want bread?
            Fight gangsters mutants and evil dogs to get to the bakery
                        and kill the giant rats
                                    to get the bread, if you'll only
                                                get milk for the baker (repeat gangsters mutants etc)
                                                        They ran out of milk, find a cow
                                                            (for the baker-for-the-bread-for-the (where was I?)

I still get "Don't try anything, Stranger" (setstage mq206 1000)
For the record:
Talk to detective
    annihilate Kellogg
       Talk to Dr. Amari (from detective)
            Go see doctor in really bad neighborhood
                (see disparaging railroad club) MQ206 1000
                        Get proselytized (keep saying "I don't know")
                            (why is Dr. Li so mean? shades of Mother-in-law)
                              Find the Doctor's magical serum
                                Return it to the doctor
and...
    Find "Vault 81"

And... join no group, cult, association, just keep planting those trees and installing the generators.

Fallout 4 is all about the habitats for humanity. Spreading light with generators,
Planting trees.
It gets old real fast, but it's a worthwhile (virtual) goal.
A girl who thought AI could help with the noble goal of bettering mankind, misspoke
And robots figured that the best way to help humans is to kill them all.
One really annoying guy does all gangsters, and another does loudmouthed supermutants.
All organized-crime people talk like they're from Jersey? (I don't follow accents)
It's this big morality-play (whatever that is, I'll go look)
  The logical conclusions are terrible so you turn into a helper of nice people and a killer of the mean (the persecutors of the nice) OR you could join up, be a tool, get to blow shit up, "War never changes" yada.
Curie seems principled and very naive at the same time, kind of like on that TV show "Bones." 
I miss my old cheats, from several years ago. She'd dote on me and I'd build her a nice house on perfectly beautiful land.
I wouldn't have any idea how to do that now.
I'm not drifting, (ok just a little)....I was comparing her to today's Curie.
A disappointed pacifist. If she went with me on any more missions, she'd be disgusted and leave.
Google says that she'd be disillusioned in the institute.
I'm pretty sure the "Brotherhood of steel" wants to blow them up (with a nuke) so I don't think curie would like that at all.
She's better off picking plants. She seriously needs more initiative. But yeah, 
I'll send her to the sunshine-Tidings co-op and move on (until I find a nice mod)
A company whose job it is to get you to buy clothes,

Anyway the answer is not forthcoming. What did the tobacco-road people wear?
Down-and-out, supermarket employees, street cleaners?
I'm totally guessing "Uniform" of the particular job you had, 
But if it's 85-degrees in Central park, what are you wearing in 1939-1946?
Bottom line (because you'll make shit up if I don't drive this home)
In "Fallout," many wore suits. That rotting corpse of a henchman, for example.
In REAL life, did they or didn't they wear suits?
Dammit, quit making shit up and telling everyone everywhere what you made up.


"Ahhhh, your father wore suspenders" (I'll edit this)

You prolly would NOT go to the bronx with your gargantuan camera to photograph the fauna,
You would wait til Sunday.
But,
