  • Fallout 3 is a game that desperately needs a remake, instead of a remaster.

    The biggest issue with Fallout 3, for me, is that instead of being a big book with a lot of good chapters… its more like a compilation of unconnected short stories.

    Almost nothing you do anywhere, affects anything else in any signifncant way. Theres no feeling of the world being connected across its locations, everything feels isolated and contained, like traveling from snowglobe to snow globe… The Karma system and being hunted by regulators/Talon for being too bad/good just feel like slapdash attempts to make consequences…consequential.

    But the world spaces could definitely also use a heavy makeover and improvement as well, like the DC metro area. But not only the DC metro area. the whole world space of fallout 3 feels like the bombs fell 30 years ago, not almost 200 years after the bombs fell.







  • Theres a reason that youtube has no real competitor.

    because the amount of data that gets uploaded to youtube every day, every hour, is unfathomable.

    I dont even know if its possible to create a proper competitor to youtube at this point. Just from a data center/harddrive point of view alone, the amount of money would be so staggering as to be impossible for anyone but another giant evil company to have a hope at being able to afford it.

    There is no real way to compete with youtube directly.

    Only options are things that are not direct youtube competitors, Which are typically much smaller, possibly maintaining a narrow subject focus, and require monthly fees/subscriptions to access














  • Electric cars existed long before the 2010s.

    Late 19th/Early 20th century had about 1/3rd of all cars on the road be electric.

    Long before lithium batteries were ever a thing.

    Also, Theres a much higher demand thanks to the modern resurgence of electric cars, for better, cheaper batteries.

    Which means that current car and battery makers have a much bigger incentive to jump on large scale miracle battery technology, than they did in the 1970s. Just like computers have much increased demand for ram today than they did in the 1970s. 🙄
