Well, when you live in huts like cavemen and your population is very spread out, of course you’re going to be less impactful. Shrinking the population WOULD help, no matter how much you scream about eugenics and fascism. Gonna be downvoted for this, but it’s just my opinion at the end of the day. No need to get butthurt, keyboard warriors.
The bombs aren’t important what makes fallout Fallout is the struggles to rebuild
The whole theme is how nobody wins in war. There can’t really be any rebuilding in south america (which is what you argue for because you live there) because there were no bombs. The interesting technology core to the series like fusion wouldn’t even take place in SA due to lack of american militarism.
Countries not Canada/USA were:
Not bombed during the great war Not in an arms race leading to development of fusion tech They have no power armor, mutants, or recognizable villains No reason to rebuild other than scarcity (excluding europe and middle east)
In an earlier comment you described south/latin america as possibly an NCR trade route. I believe FO4 source code has unused data for a mutant whale, implying the existence of mutated sea creatures. It would take several centuries for the NCR to build a nation large enough to have international trade.
I mean…
This would require a complete overhaul of the franchise’s most recognizable enemies/factions, would need entirely different theming and ideas compared to the base games that would likely be better off as an entirely different series set in the same universe. Even then, you ask for less amerco-centric games/ideas and yet america was really on the world stage with their bombs in WWII. The whole theme of the series is chinese/american nationalism and globalization breaking down as each country vies for control of the last natural resources. AFAIK the bombs were only exchanged between china and america with europe and the middle east glassing each other earlier. The soviets also engaged in the exchange (?) and south america/latin america, australia, and antarctica were relatively intact (save for the nuclear fallout). I really think another west coast fallout taking place after FO4 would be great to see more of the NCR.
TL;DR: American nationalism is a core identity of the series and other NEARBY countries like mexico and canada should be reserved for DLC.
The pizza hut/arbys is clearly a metaphor for trans people, but I have never seen a real, conservative flip the fuck out just because someone used the person's preferred pronouns. Most people are really moderate in reality. A strawman is when a group creates personified stereotype that they can pin their problems on to have something to be angry about.
That said.
TRANS RIGHTS
^This. Absolute straw man and i’m not even a conservative. Fight for rights without ostracizing people you don’t agree with.
Looks amazing! I have to get one sometime, the screen quality is amazing!

Absolute nightmare. Not just leaking batteries but several components had to be replaced on the front. Ridiculous amounts of contact cleaner in the card slot. Copper plate ground so corroded I could peel it off like wet toilet paper. Removed it and soldered all the contacts together. Bought for 5 bucks, only took about an hour to fix.
Huge jump between the original and later titles. This game really does feel huge and the dungeons might be better that BoTW. More secrets than later games and a ton of different areas. It feels super good to get acquainted with the map and actually figure out where you’re going without a guide. Combat is pretty good too, although the knockback is somewhat broken with certain enemies (looking at you, gibdo). Planning order of operations is a big one for me too (i.e “first I’ll get the heart piece, then stick up on bombs, then hit dungeon 5”) and makes the game a real challenge. Just use a guide for the later sections of the overworld. Getting to 5 is pretty much impossible without a hint. It’s worth picking back up again if you have the time.
Ok, that’s REALLY cool! I use an everdrive with the original hardware but maybe someone made a romhack. Either way, bosses hitless sounds like a real PITA like you said. Can’t imagine beating Gohma hitless lol
This game gets really tough! 🫡 to anyone that can beat it, with a guide and two people it took nearly 6 hours. Probably my favorite game on the nes, it just feels so grandiose and huge.

Took 5 hours 49 minutes, enjoyed every second of it! Played with a friend and 100% completed.
Holy jeepers! 12 grand usd for a game! Never grew up around these but they’re the only games I emulate seeing how it’s 400usd for a aes everdrive and 1.2k for a console (in bad condition). The games really are beautiful though. Fatal fury has some of my favorite pixel art to date!
Particularly the AES, but if you had other experiences, share them below!
Easily New Vegas and Interplay fallouts (excluding tactics ofc). Put an easy 150 into FO4 but New Vegas really isn’t overrated, and 1/2 are amazing with the sheer desolation and creepiness factor. Love those games, probably played NV a dozen times by now
Love no clean liquid flux. Just the no-name stuff, and I clean it with 99 ipa anyway. On an unrelated note, I will always be a Hakko shill. Just the absolute best soldering iron i can imagine- if you can afford it, BUY IT!
Who here loves to solder? I've already done 2 mods for friends and a few custom paint jobs.

Hey, I'm Chris and I love all things retro! Particularly hardware and mods.
