SUICIDE TW

There’s a video circling around of a man committing suicide on a Facebook live. His name is Ronnie McNutt and it’s been posted to Tik Tok and Twitter. Unfortunately I’ve seen it, and it’s something I really wish I’ve never seen. It’s horrific and awful, and I know that sometimes curiosity can get the best of people, but please don’t watch it. If you see a video that starts off with this image of this man sitting at his desk, please pause quickly and report it.

Stay safe everyone. And rest in peace Ronnie McNutt.

Fallout game idea

I want a Fallout game set right after the bombs fall. Right after. Not like 76 where it's 25 years after (which doesn't count anyway 'cause it's multiplayer and online), I mean right after. You watch the bombs fall like in Fallout 4, only this time you don't have a Vault to run to. You watch as it destroys everything and you just barely miss the blast zone, or barely close the door of your family bunker or one of the Vault-Tec preservation pod. You wait a few hours, a few days, maybe a few weeks, but like everyone else you come crawling out. I wanna see the raw emotion in every single interaction after that, the processing, the loss, the grief and mouring as everything sets into place and people realising it wasn't a dream. I wanna see, not raiders, but desperate looters threatening you for any supplues, who are genuinely good people, they're just scared and trying to get by and they're sorry they really don't wanna hurt you but they need that water please they have kids-

I wanna see fathers trying to desperately keep their kids safe, a sister desperately looking for her sibling, wondering if they survived like her, if there's a possibility, or if they died. I wanna play a character who themselves are looking for their parents, siblings, etc, anyone they knew. I wanna see people recognizing bodies and skeletons, name tags, uniforms, accessories and having a bittersweet moments of half closure/half mourning as they cry over their family, friends, lovers, even enemies who they can admit didn't deserve to die like this, because they may be dead but at least they know what happened to them. I want a quest where the character you play goes to the home where they grew up and sees their things, old pictures, maybe their parents bodies, and they just can't handle it- But they're not alone, everyone's in the same boat and everyone's going through this right now, we've got this-

I want to see people slowly becoming ghouls throughout the game, settlements made of nothing but tents with people quarantined and dying of radiation poisoning, like at the police station in Fallout 3. People who were once doctors and nurses setting up outposts and trying, like the first town you go to in 76 and there's a makeshift clinic in an old church, volunteers trying to help create support groups and networks. People getting sick from new viruses and diseases as their once hygienic lifestyles no longer exist, they don't have luxary showers and soaps everywhere anymore, so new illnesses quickly spread.

I wanna see any military personal banding together to be scouts for a group of settlers, they're the ones assigned to actually going out and getting resources, teaching people how to shoot and defend themselves. People who used to be engineers making the first blue prints for generators and water purifiers, contractors and builders teaching people how to build shacks, teachers taking it upon themselves to take in all their students who are now orphans. Farmers teaching people to plant and being the only people able to regularly supply food. Maybe the player's charcter's skills and special stats are based on what they're job was before the war, if they had one. A doctor? Intelligene and science stats are higher, a politician has good luck and charisma, an athlete has good strength and agility, ect.

The end of dollars and cents, the start of cap currency and going back into the days of casual trading rather than luxury supermarkets. "I'll trade you some water for some tatos", no more taking things for granted. NPCs comment how surreal it is to feel like their living in the old times where trading was a thing farmers did. The whole world went back in time and feels like they're in the goddamn 1300s.

People discovering what's safe or not to eat anymore, being fascinated as crops start to mutate together and make a single, new plant, being terrified of animals mutating.

People reminiscing about movies and shows that they never got to see the end of, books that they wrote that will never get finished, a comic series they'll never see end or know what happens cause the writer's probably dead. Singing around campfires together after finding a intact guitar and people making requests for songs they'll never heat again, songs left in time. Someone raids a radio station and finds holotapes of some preserved songs and everyone at camp is so happy for the first time since the war, and they dance and finally feel some normality again. Songs they thought were lost, returned. In times where it's calm and they've finally processed, actually having the heart to joke around, discussions about craving food they'll never have again, wishing for a nuka cola that wasn't flat and warm, wanting a clean bed, complaining about walking everywhere when they used to have cars, etc.

I wanna see people trying to keep law and order before it slips away, old police officers and lawyers trying goddamit because this country let us down enough, we won't do the same to these citizens, these people-

People who once worshipped the American flag losing hope and realising it's faults and hating it. Patriotism turned to anger and rage, and a fight and fire inside them that keeps them going, keeping them alive, telling them to survive, determined to do better than the country and world of the past.

Those holotapes, notes, and terminals throughout the games, they're history. I want to actually play living in those moments, those times, those unsure, terryfying times. I don't want to just see it as history. I wanna play that person who's holotapes and terminal entries will be found years later by some vault dweller.

Fallout has always done an amazing job with this, the stories from the pre war ghouls in the Underworld, the pregnant runaway with no name in Fallout 4, the vaults scattered in games and time frozen in those places, the camps and desperate help zones built in some sort of cry for normality in 76, people trying to immortalise themselves like Mr House. The start of factions and/or cults, the start of people worshipping atom, the start of trade caravans being a thing, maybe making your own faction or trade company. But I don't want to just see it in the easter eggs in games, lost in time, I want to live through it. Just once. Just for one game let the player be the scared survivor leaving holotapes, notes, and terminal entries that'll be discovered one day, the only proof they ever existed.

CALLOUT FOR THE RDR FANDOM

Trigger warning: This contains racism, sexulisation and fetishism, death threats, doxing, peadophillia and hypocrisy.

So, some of you are already aware as you’ve already had hate mail and death threats in your inbox, but the following users are on a rampage.

They don’t give a FUCK. Theyre sending a LOT of nasty nasty nasty messages to anybody over specific things. Heres a small example of what theyre sending.

The blog @receipts-please-karen has LOTS of screenshots of their conversations where they are as a group, targeting individuals and sending them nasty message. They’re straight up telling people to kill themselves and a lot of other gross stuff. If you have trigger warnings on your blog, they will include them in their hate mail. They laugh about it whilst making racist remarks, egging each other on to flood your inbox with nasty messages. They’ve also made sexual remarks about someone who is barely legal.

Theyre targeting specific people for... petty reasons. If you like any of the following, they will track you down and send you rubbish: Arthur/John. Dutch/Arthur. Kieran/Bill. Javier/Bill. Micah. Bill. Dutch.

Basically, if you like a chaotic character or a specific pairing, they’ll send you hate.

PLEASE spread this so people can finally see how gross these members are. This isn’t the first time theyve done this, nor will it be the last. PLEASE report their blogs and turn off your inbox alltogether. If you’ve got fanart/fanfics of any of those pairings/characters then either delete them for now, or be prepared for them to take the piss.

AGAIN, please go check out @receipts-please-karen for a few screenshots of their conversations. They have also been threatening to DOX people, so id recommend taking extra percautions to prevent you from being targeted.

Please help show the rest of the fandom how nasty these hypocrites are.

So in a fit of sheer boredom. I decided to get the ARK survival game, with all the dlc...

All because someone on the Internet said its basically Minecraft with better textures and dinosaurs.

Why am i like this?

[somethinwickedthiswayrides]

If a game has any feature even vaguely resembling ‘plant crops / raise animals’ I WILL make a farm I literally CANNOT stop myself. Oh your game has guns in it that’s cool oh it has SEEDS? To plant VEGETABLE? I don’t want to fight I just want to tend my fields.

Anyways, Breonna Taylor

Breonna Taylor - On March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor lay sleeping with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker.

Outside police silently gathered, preparing to raid what they believed to be a residence linked to two drug dealers.

One of these drug dealers was thought to be receiving mail at Taylor’s apartment, resulting in a judge signing a search warrant with a “no knock” provision.

The warrant claimed that a US Postal Inspector confirmed that the dealer had been receiving packages at the apartment. Postal Inspector Tony Gooden has said that his office had told police there were no packages of interest being received there.

Taylor and Walker were awoken by a loud bang at the door.

Taylor yelled “Who is it?” multiple times to no response before Walker armed himself with a legally owned firearm.

Walker fired 1 shot before the officers returned with over 20 rounds. Taylor was shot at least 8 times. No drugs were found in the apartment.

Breonna Taylor worked as an EMT. She aspired to be a nurse and had no criminal past. She was working during the coronavirus crisis.

On May 29, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer indefinitely suspended the use of “no knock” warrants. The shooting is currently under investigation.

Keep fighting

I’ve been wanting to share this comic ever since I noticed that after the first two weeks of protesting most of social media started “going back to normal” as if there aren’t still people walking out and protesting making sure this movement doesn’t go silent or looked over. I appreciate every single individual that is out in those protests helping and being vocal for this change. Also those continuing to spread word and help out through petitions and donations. I wish y’all to stay safe and well.

If your great grandpa was a Nazi, would you try to justify waving the Nazi flag? Would you proudly talk about that part of your heritage? Would you claim that your grandpa was "one of the good guys"?

No? Then why would you do that with the confederate flag?
