I'm out. I don't want to watch the sardonic violence of Fallout. I've downvoted it, "Not for me" on Amazon. Look, I didn't even finish either of the games because I was sick of the Sophie's choice forced moral obscurity in them... and the only reason I gave them a chance was a Gamestop employee and my sister's ex, Brent* who wouldn't shut up about New Vegas and CoD Black Ops. (another game I never played, nor had interest in) I stuck around for the glitches and mods... deciding it was better to spend hours finding why things bounce through walls and how to duplicate items or trick the perk system.

I was literally locked in a room in Bangor, MI at Beacon Specialized Living Services and isolated from the rest of the world with extremely limited access to creative resources so I stared at a ViewSonic TV that I almost immediately gave to a random person with a broken CRT when I got near home, where I could stretch my legs.

Therapy has taught me something profound that I would benefit from listening to... I don't need to force myself to endure an hour of gruesome violence, morally bankrupt characters and goofy weapons and unfunny idiots in power armor laughing about live grenades during a meeting in which everyone just decides their paper-thin values are nothing compared to unlimited power.

It's just a twisted universe, sure there's plentiful examination of society's class systems and resource imbalances... but I can see that in less grotesque representations.

I'm posting this for me... I don't need to watch a show that I don't want to see just because I feel a conversational obligation with friends that I don't have much in common with.
