    Alright I’m going to go out on a limb and say that /r/WatchPeopleDie shouldn’t be lumped in with that other human trash.

    Every month or so I would get morbidly curious and scroll that sub for ten or fifteen minutes. Firstly, the comments and posts never seemed… I don’t know I have the right word… sociopathic? gleeful? cruel?

    The tone of the whole sub was much more somber. I always came away from that sub with a stark reminder that we are so so fragile, and our future can get snuffed out by the universe – sheer random chance – at any moment.

    To be it was a reminder to live more in the moment. Don’t take tomorrow for granted, and I saw a lot of the sort of thing in the comments.

    A lot of the videos were just random shit pedestrians getting hit with a tire from a car crash 500 feet away. Just totally senseless and sad… but in a way that helps put what’s important in perspective.




  • The game is pretty stable at this point. I personally loved it, but it helps to set your expectations. It’s a story-driven game with diamond-style story branching ala the Witcher 3, with a heavy focus on narrative. The world is an awesome backdrop, but it is more backdrop than simulation. It’s not GTA.

    Given how massive this overhaul looks, I would honestly wait for the 2.0 patch. It looks like it’s going to address a lot of the shortcomings of the mechanics.



  • I’ve never had a bad experience on release with any of the Bethesda games I’ve played. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.

    I didn’t play 76, and like – fair game.

    But for the games I’ve played it’s never been more than visual / physics bugs, or script events not triggering and doing a quick load to fix it.

    Most importantly, I’ve always had a blast, even with the rough edges. As long as it seems like the devs gave it an honest go, are fixing bugs the players trigger, and the company didn’t lie about the state of the game, it’s just a much better experience to have a little grace around the launch of an ambitious game.
