Did the 50s happen twice in the Fallout world? Did people think it was weird?
so boring and lame. if theyre gonna do this fake ass anachronism fad shit why not make it an interesting one. renaissance, mideval europe. cholos. some folk culture of some country. shit man anything
fallout was originally meant to be a post-apocalyptic future as imagined by people from 50s america
bethesda are just moronic and thought that in the 22nd century people would go back to 50s aesthetic and technology for some reason. It doesn't make any sense.
It was, the tech in the game is what someone from 1980s would think future would look like. And thats because the tabletop RPG was made in the 80s. The tabletop version was set even in 2020, despite aesthetically looking like the 2077 counterpart.
Id say the tech is if we would instead of improoving existing tech, we would only create new tech that still uses old style components and once its done its done.
Can you read? I didnt say it kept BEING 1950s, but that it kept aesthetically LOOKING like the 1950s but the technology still advanced but without transistors ever being invented.
True. The cold war never ended and tech branched off in a different direction from ours. They never had a grunge phase in 90s or adult swim in the 00s. There were probably some depreaved message boards, but no Cinemaphile.
There are several layers of presentation that most people miss. Fallout is
- a video-game adaptation
- of a hypothetical, non-existent B-movie
- based on comic books from the 50s
- that imagined what post-apocalyptic future would look like
If you disagree then you're a fricking zoomer. They raped interplay's corpse.
Someone at Bethesda must have made a deal with the devil, because all of their games are fricking shit yet they are somehow a big name in the industry. Nobody else can get away with releasing the kind of shit they do where there is no polish or quality, and full of bugs.
This is the truth. I tried NV, and quickly concluded anything story related is paper thing slop for morons to feel smart. I concede it's fun to mess with npcs and chop them up though.
1&2 are simultaneously: captivating, novel, playable at any pace and creatively inspired throughout.
Did the 1970s happen twice in the real world?
Did people think it was weird when we had race riots record inflation and instability in the middle east fricking with the price of gas again?
50s nostalgia/renaissance happened in the 2050s
I wouldn't be surprised if in 100 years everything resembles the Victorian era again

>waaah waaah this series isn't the completely different thing that i want it to be
frick off moron.
are fallout gays the gayest videogame fandom? can you at least be slavishly devoted to something thats good?
How about you slavishly eat my ass, b***h.
>cholos
>american game uses american cultural peak as their main theme
Not that hard to understand.
>american peak
the 1990s?
>Japanese consoles and trash tv
>Peak American culture
Lmao
Why is there a fricking PAL Mega Drive and NTSC-U Super NES?
Fricking 50s, man, best shit ever. Bet your ass, man.
Ink Spots fricking rules. Billie Holiday. Bob Crosby.
Then that McCartney pussy had to come around and ruin it all. Like there's something wrong with wanting to have a good time.
I'll tell you something. I hated the fricking 60s
60s fricking sucked.
Todd didnt invent the setting, only continued on it
What about cowboys...in spaaace!
Oh wait thats Firefly
are folks going to get into 50's music because of this show?
only black and latina women

Its meant to look like how people from 50s would imagine year 2077 to look like, pic related how people from 1950s imagined year 2000
did the original 1950s happen tho?
Yeah, i think its the 50s when the timeline diverge from ours, but the lore can be vague about that
The timelines diverge after WWII
no because ww2 was different
I looked it up, ww2 is the same
there's a couple things in the fallout bible timeline before WW2
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_Bible_1_timeline
Its the same way how cyberpunk 2077 is retrofuturistic from 80s perspective.
cyberpunk 2077 wasn't really retrofuturistic tho
It was, the tech in the game is what someone from 1980s would think future would look like. And thats because the tabletop RPG was made in the 80s. The tabletop version was set even in 2020, despite aesthetically looking like the 2077 counterpart.
no it isn't, cyberpunk just started in the 1980s but is now its own thing
They never advanced past the 50s culturally in the fallout timeline
this is not even true actually
They did, but aesthetics and technology kept looking very 1950s
the tech is better in some ways but worse in others. They dont have semi conductors in fallout for instance they use vacuum tubes or some shit
>music
>cars
>clothing
>televsion
>nuclear family (no pun intended)
It is true for the most part
Id say the tech is if we would instead of improoving existing tech, we would only create new tech that still uses old style components and once its done its done.
I don't think they had laser rifles, power armor or octopus looking robots in the 50s

I think the in game Intranet works in US only
One could only dream.

shut up moron
The only good fallout games were 1 and 2.

Yes we get it, new things are bad old things are good

the success of Fallout in the 2020s caused a massive resurgence in retro nostalgia
Very totaly not AI generated post.
the original games were made in the 50s so it makes sense
Did the 1970s happen twice in the real world?
Did people think it was weird when we had race riots record inflation and instability in the middle east fricking with the price of gas again?
Trumpgays vote against their own economic interests
Stagflation is the 70s all over again
I'm just waiting for price controls on gas followed by gas lines and shortages
>implying eternal wagie slaving is in anyones economic interest
>rioting Black folk and homosexuals are in my economic interests.
They were stuck culturally in the 1950s and the cold war basically never ended until 2077
the 50s extended to the 2020s in Todd's & Bezos' patented Falloutverse
We've been drowning in 80's nostalgia for at least a decade and a half at this point, what do you fricking think cretin?
