But we still don't have the answer to 6 minus 7...

That's not all! That's not all!

Edit: I wrote a long rebuttal last night. Wasn’t sober. Woke up, read it, and thought: Ain’t nobody got time for that.

So instead, just the core point:

It’s not a stretch to say privacy protects both our legal rights and our willingness to access and share information.

It is a stretch to claim that not recording and uploading everything I do in private will cause a “state of deformity and disease.”

That’s not physics. That's selling data collection as snake oil. It's an attempt to justify a world view without examining it's ramifications.

it’s immigrants who brought their culture and then adapted it

Yep, those are American's.

Resource war is the safe bet.

VR if I am feeling lucky.

But I really do mean it when I say I haven’t come across defenders of 3 over New Vegas

Agreed, there are not very many folks still hard Stanning for 3. Though I think a large reason for that is 3 was superseded by Skyrim, and FO4. While NV fans are still kinda waiting on even a true spiritual successor. So NV fans really haven't moved on, while 3's fans have long since gone onto other things.

Plus, the things 3 does well kinda makes you "forget about most of it" after a while. Like, I play A Tale of Two Wastelands pretty often, and one thing that stands out about 3's world is how much of it is just more of the same. It all just blends together. Eventually, the feeling of a real world breaks down, leaving you with a "lot of gameplay with not a lot of substance"

NV's emphasis on world building and choice on the other-hand makes you think about the game a lot more, even when you put the game down, you can still "play it" just by thinking about how your choices would affect the long term realities of the world.

So while 3's fans can basically say "Yeah, I really liked that game, the world was fun and stealing the Declaration of Independence from that robot was funny", NV fans can have full on years long debates of "Independent Vegas vs NCR vs House", I've even seen some mad lads argue that Caesar's belief that a sufficiently strong opponent to challenge the NCR would force the NCR to address some of the issues they were having as a country was a good idea. These people are of course insane, but you get my point.

All of this really adds up to the fact that NV built a game that is easy to form communities around, and people are excited to talk about, while 3 kinda just built a really solid turn your brain off game.

Edit: Oh, and yeah, 100% agree. More people should play 1 and 2. It's hard to recommend for fans of Bethesda games to go back to an obscure game from the late 90's, but like, they're so fucking good!

Yet the Zookeeper escaped, thus proving that the deadliest animal of them all... is the Zookeeper!

I was having the most wonderful dream... Except you were there, and you were there, and you were there.

Ok, sure... it's definetly an abomination... but on the other hand...

Hurray! Thanks!

Awesome! I'll check em out!

Both, I mean... Bread on Linux and Sway! Thanks for the recommendations!

Flying by traffic really is one of the best feelings, not quite up there with being on a trail with no traffic, but still... just great.
