@lacko_adam Wow I share this exact same story. Found out my dad was super into the Mode too (that album, in fact, Music for the Masses, was apparently huge for him). Fallout also got me into Brian Eno, Synesthesia, and Canticle for Liebowitz (the superb post apocalypse novel).

Exactly! I once read somewhere that in the track "Vault of the Future", Mark Morgan sampled this Russian-speaking voice (actually talking about nuclear weapons) from Depeche Mode song "To Have and to Hold". So I looked it up. And eventually, I became a huge Depeche Mode fan.

@aDoct0r @shinobi602 Albion is a fictional setting that persisted through many eras. What are you on about?

@shinobi602 But are they authentic medieval costume skin tone & back story

Fable | The "Living Population" ▪️Having lively NPCs were 'non-negotiable' when the team started, over 1000 of them ▪️Fully voiced conversations with any NPC ▪️NPCs are 'persistent' with daily routines- you can follow anyone around all day and watch their autonomous actions ▪️Each NPC has their own personality traits, likes and dislikes ▪️You can go into any building or house ▪️Every house can be purchased and you can live in it ▪️You can romance, marry and have kids with almost any NPC ▪️Players can marry more than one, and NPCs will have opinions about that too ▪️You can also hire and fire each one of them ▪️Your reputation is affected by what you do out in the world and each character will have their own opinion of you ▪️Your reputation can be different from place to place depending on your actions, so you can have one identity in one town and a whole different identity in another ▪️Reactions vary, some NPCs will praise you, scold you, mention things you did, catcall you, and shop prices can be affected ▪️You can do things to rebalance your reputation, or pay the "Town Crier" to start shouting about a new reputation to overwrite your old one ▪️Each NPC has their own bed in the game, each town has to be functional ➡️ news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/01/… ➡️ gamesradar.com/games/rpg/weve… ➡️ gamesradar.com/games/rpg/fabl… #Fable #Xbox #PS5

How playing GTA 6 gonna be 😂👀

@tommychong Color me confused. "made with 100mg of real psilocybin mushroom extract" "To keep them legal, we’ve removed the psilocybin and psilocin" Then what the hell makes me trip?

The first legal alternative that ACTUALLY delivers the magic...

It's weird to live in the US and act like you're being forced to read Marx. Countless revolutionaries in the global south have used Marxism to organize liberation movements. You've been consuming anticommunism all your life. The least you could do is read the manifesto.

Metal Gear Solid 2 released today 23 years ago in 2001. 🎂 A script written in 1999 delivered one of the most eerily accurate descriptions of our current social and political climate so, all the way to the message delivered by an AI. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

I'm doing the fallout new Vegas NPC cowering animation and running around my house.

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

RT @rose_jlab: i'm often saying this!!

@Fallout @elgato The villains for sure, especially when they're morally nuanced rather than a simple binary good/evil alignment.

Happy #FalloutDay! To celebrate, we're giving away one limited edition @elgato Stream Deck, Wave DX, Wave XLR, and Wave Mic Arm LP. To enter, leave a comment with what you love most about Fallout.

@itinerantfog Seriously. Everything seems to be going dark. Everyone seems to be sinking deeper into their niche, obscure corners to sulk and reminisce and regurgitate. It's hard for me to escape the gravity, too. It's what's "normal." It's what's accepted. Cherished, at this point.

that was probably the biggest joke and the biggest con-job of all time the idea that social media would allow us to be “more connected”

this the age of mass isolation, mass disconnection, and mass addiction

@ChinchillaDocta @Bappi366 @penbbles From the bottom of the deep well of my heart, I thank you. I hope I am inspired enough to come up with something with the same elegance and refinement as "Dr Debunk."

the prosecutor who sent him behind bars said he was innocent. the victim's family said he was innocent. hundreds of people who knew the case said he was innocent. all of those pleads fell on deaf ears

@ChinchillaDocta @Bappi366 @penbbles Not to say you're not entitled to your opinion about his poetry. But for someone who isn't a poet, I think it's beautiful. There have been points in my life where experience comes at full volume. And no thought of objectivity or rationality could keep it at bay. It's real, full.
