Hakkatsune Miku.

The Hakka people are a sub group of the Han Chinese that were best known for migrating (getting tf out of dodge) everywhere! Mauritius, India, Jamaica, Malaysia, you name it!

Hatsune Miki has officially become the equivalent to Barbie with all these variants of her.

Who wants to be Eggy's daddy? He really needs one...

Mfs do everything for the wasteland but because they aren't perpetuating the imperialist machine they get kicked to the sidelines. These guys truly are leftists!

Weird how they looked at the white picket fence aesthetic, an inherently white supremacist ideal and thought "Hey, let's include people of colour into it! Capitalism definitely never sees colour!"

A devastating and confusing thing about the Fallout setting, when you explore the pre-war aspects, is what the creators think about pre-war America. In the first games we only get hints of the pre-war world, but they seem to be some sort of wild fascist nation invading Canada. In Fallout 1, the first thing we're introduced to of the pre-war society is seeing a soldier shoot civilians and laughing.

Now, for the first 2 games and New Vegas we don't really know much. What we know is that there's a fascist military group known as the enclave who were a sort of US deep state even before the war, and that the government teamed up with corporate interests to preform vaguely MKULTRA-ish experiments with the Vaults. Basically, the government was an extreme version of the 50s American jingoism and McCarthyism.

This is well and dandy, I guess issues come up more when we get to the later games, especially 4, where it seems like none of this extreme plotting and societal civil unrest which would exist is seen. The society as presented in 4 also seems quite progressive, gay people are featured in the opening, and none of the baggage of say, civil rights not existing are included. Now on a baseline, I don't want settings to be more conservative, homophobic and sexist etc., but it becomes a very confusing setting when it's displayed both as this jingoist extreme thing with fascist tendencies aswell as a progressive place where everyone is seemingly equal. If you're focusing on the 50s as your setting, and American nationalism in the 50s, then you can't have McCarthyism spoofs and anti-communism as a societal paranoia norm while also general equality is the norm without misunderstanding why McCarthyism and nationalist jingoism is bad. A massive harm done in anti-communist paranoia is how it degrades and vilifies any progressive movements (women's rights, civil rights, homosexuality) as being morally un-American and therefore connected to communism. To ignore this just makes any critique of MacCarthyism and jingoism weird!

Basically, pre-war America in Fallout 4 becomes this both sides thing where America is both pure and equal and white fences in every instance that we see as the player (the intro), while also supposedly being this dystopic MacCarthyist hellscape that's broadcasting gladly about their war crimes in Canada, and wants to root out communism. I guess the only fix for this issue without getting into the fine print like they had to do is just not to focus too much on the pre-war world.

Finished Fallout show. At first it was mediocre but then it became okay but then it became not bad but then it became kind of good. I give it a low 7/10.

Still think the pacing wasn't that good but wow they really know how to set up multiple mysteries and slowly build up to them. That was what kept me invested.

The first half of episode 1 got me then the other half dropped me. My main problem was that they introduced our 3 protagonist's storylines all in one episode instead of branching off as the show goes on. This was exactly the same problem with The Rings of Power where it didn't have a main focus which made it such a mess (same studio too wow).

Lucy should have been our main surrogate who then comes across different characters and world building. If I was new to the series and the TV show was my jumping off point I would be attached more to Lucy. I like Lucy. She purdy.

Now I really wished they made The Ghoul more decrepit and uglier. I only watched the first 2 episodes and he seems pretty antagonistic in those ones.

Imagine we see this nasty looking guy after our characters. It would make him look like they introduced the bad guy. Then we get to know him more and show that looks can be deceiving or something (It would also bring in the "hear me out" crowd😏).

Maybe the actor just didn't want to sit in the makeup chair for half the day.

This show is actually pretty good. At first it feels like The Good Place but Miracle Workers does a clever thing where the relationship of our characters evolve even though they are technically different people each season.

Not to be dramatic but the fact that Geraldine Viswanathan and Daniel Radcliffe's characters are in love every season of Miracle Workers really does something good for my soul.

Whats that one quote about loving you in every timeline? Whatever its them and I'm obsessed with it

I can’t stop thinking about how dystopian it is that Israel was able to create and pay for an ad to run during the Super Bowl amidst their attacks on Palestine and then proceeded to carpet bomb refugees in Rafah while millions watched the game

Is this meme over yet? I feel like it's over.

The resemblance of Eggy and his Mommy are staggering! 🐔🥚

Godzilla Minus One is a heartwrenching character drama revolving around the trauma post WW2. It is about fighting not by sacrificing yourself but by living day to day with the people you care about.

Oh yeah, it also has Godzilla in it.
