Fallout 4 rehash

 I wrote this already, I swear, and there's an incredible urge to skip tons because of that, and it's an old game, and because I cannot re-order these blogs (this would be on the bottom of last year)

Well let's start with Player's kid, who starts out as a baby in, uhm, 2077, a few years from now.

She seeks him out, finds him at ten-years-old, discovers it's a really fancy robot, and her son is really an old man now.

What year is it?
210 years away from 2077.
65 years (roughly) from when her son was kidnapped.

Has the human race gone so retrograde that we all pretend to live in the fifties?





Oh sure, we can do teleportation and we've done marvelous things with lasers...




1946, 1958, waaaitasec. We've got nuclear-powered cars!! Or we did.

So ... the conservatives won??

Whoa, it's a topic!!
*I* only wondered if I was using "retrograde" correctly.

The bombastic explanation why civilization froze in time, exists but I will only quote a very small part.
MAGA won.









The topical stuff I don't know about is astounding....
Google's front page said "AppleTV+" is no longer "+", as if that meant anything.
Maybe people snarked, "What is the + for, the $?"
I wouldn't know.
I sincerely want a streaming service that won't make my ISP gasp and rein in my speed,
so I could fall asleep to "Hazel" or to "Father knows best."
That's the problem with streaming, everyone wants a cut, so it's expensive as hell.
T-Mobile doesn't really like streaming, I don't think.

And google says my plan is old and I would need a more up-to-date, pricier plan.
Then there's the actual streaming, which costs tons.



Yeah, I don't get it, unless maybe you're living the dream at your parents house or ripping off someone's wifi.
A company charging one price for streaming and carriage for streaming must exist, I just never do this except once every five years and I haven't checked recently....

I need to find a commercial of a guy who built a teeny-tiny theater stage for his little phone,
so he could watch movies and sports.
What tacked-on costs exist for people wanting to watch TV? 
I've always said "Cable" is best but months go by with nothing on worth watching.
If only they'd upgrade streaming plans for us TV watchers..
Wait, I already pay that, have a phone, pay a lot,
"what's my price?"
(couldn't resist)
soooo,,,,, jump through some hoops, get hulu, wait for the price increase. Hmm
I think (not sure) my TMHI is just plain-old, not "all-in", even though they raised prices a few months ago. I even called for a better plan (maybe) and was told, "This is it."


not free, no way no how. And Hulu is going UP in a week

So, if I sign up for stuff, what'll happen?
weeeelllll, my "home internet" is NOT available for Any promotion (it says)
and the PHONE (the dinky thing) can get hulu if I pay $20 extra a month.
I don't even know what they are, I'm just using them as an example.
OK fucket, see you in five years
Lets not kid around, they'll want 21-22 a month.
Fine, says I, but my budget can't handle that right now.





Anyway, the world being upside down like it is, makes me wonder what the hell you all watch.
Here:


I can honestly say I don't know a single title in that picture.
People's points of view might be very different, depending upon what they stream.
OTA might deteriorate into selling knives, coins and PBS, but that would be all right with me.
(Although who buys TV's anymore?)
