  • Previously, people could vote for a new mob each year. It was constantly made fun of because either the mobs people could vote for were so tepid they didn’t care or they were all so interesting people were annoyed they couldn’t all be added. Couple this with people claiming that the “worst” option was picked after each vote, and that the mob vote replaced what used to be a yearly “biome vote” (which was like the mob vote, but significantly bigger in scale and much more liked by the community), and the mob vote was never especially popular (though it did help the community feel engaged with the game to a greater degree).

    He isekais before the tropes of Isekai are established (1970/80s I think), so they go completely over his head. So, for example, when the tsundere elf denies liking him, he takes it at face value and leaves rather then stay in what he believes to be hostile company.



  • I did it on my first playthrough (which I understand was really weird). I started Lonesome Road at level 2, and then spent pretty much all the ammo I got taking out the Deathclaws (and even then it took multiple attempts).

    I apparently did the DLC in reverse order (starting with Lonesome Road, then Blue Mountain Blues, and then the Sierra Madre), and never met a Ghoul until after finishing the game and backtracking with an older save.


  • After a crushing electoral defeat in 2018, one senior opposition politician told the Financial Times how he had spent the night in a “humble home” to learn what it was like, proudly showing pictures he had taken on his mobile phone.

    “After I returned to Mexico City, it struck me that perhaps my maid lived in a similar sort of home, so I showed her the photos and sure enough it turned out that her home was very similar,” he beamed.

    This… this is probably the single most out-of-touch thing I’d ever rich. A rich dude took pictures of a normal house, and then bragged to his maid that he went there.








  • “Critical Race Theory”; it’s a college-level class about how racism affects the recording of history, but the term has been misappropriated for several years now to mean any acknowledgement of the USA’s past (and current) struggles with racism. The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, and the Civil Rights Movement are all getting lumped together with the term (as well as other major events) and has been used as an umbrella term to restrict schools’ abilities to teach those subjects.
