alex and bernie moment so real.....
alex fama (they/she/any) + bernie vegabond (he/him)
alex and bernie act as a sort of 'polyamory' route in a sense, because while there would be options to sway towards one or the other if the player wanted to, theyre both the love interest of their route. the player can get their route regardless of head choice
they have three main ends; two bad ends and one good end. their route on the surface is about finding bigfoot but its also about passively helping them sort issues in their own relationship, namely helping bernie be more aware and understanding towards alex's paranoia while also helping alex to come out of the extreme shells theyve blocked themself into. siding too hard with one over the other will result in one of the two bad ends.
if you side too hard with alex, you get an end where the three of you break into an attraction in search of bigfoot, and accidentally capture some random dude in a costume and go to jail
if you side too hard with bernie, you find *actual* bigfoot, but act too harsh and scare him, resulting in the three of you getting your asses collectively beat by an ape
in their good end youve helped them find common grounds, helping bernie be more conscious of when alex is becoming too overwhelmed, and helping alex step out of their comfort zone a little more. in this end you are able to find and have a sweet moment with bigfoot, and theres three options for the 'ending scene', one where you can chose to be with just alex, one where you can chose to be with just bernie, and one where you can be with both
alex is a very nervous person. they stutter a lot and tend to speak very bluntly. they have severe paranoia to the point it heavily effects a number of things in their life, a small example is they dont wear shoelaces out of the fear they might trip on them, due to this happening once and resulting in them falling down a short cliff side and breaking their antennae
bernie is more calm and social, its pretty difficult to actively piss him off. however he is very headstrong and stubborn and often goes into things without thinking, having a bad habit of only considering possible outcomes mid way through doing an action, which often results in he and alex getting stuck in less than savory situations
the two are paranormal / supernatural investigators together, and their little 'company' is called a to b investigations.

Fallout: New Vegas: 13th Anniversary
Tumblr media
13 years ago today, on October 19, 2010, Fallout: New Vegas was officially released in North America. Since its release, it has been widely acclaimed by the community.
Happy 13th Anniversary Fallout: New Vegas! And thank you to all of the developers behind its production!
According to Feargus Urqhart via Eurogamer on September 13, 2017, the game's pitch document was “probably three pages” long.
It had the title of “Fallout: Sin City,” which “very quickly got changed to Fallout: Vegas and then became Fallout: New Vegas.”
Tumblr media
Following its release, the game received six add-ons, four of which introduced new areas and stories to explore (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road).
Gun Runners' Arsenal introduced new weapons, and Courier's Stash added the game's pre-order bonuses.
Tumblr media
The game has had a lasting impact on the Fallout community and the greater gaming community! Again, thank you to all the developers who worked on the game.
Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone, Jesse Farrell, Eric Fenstermaker, Akil Hooper, Seth McCaughey, Shon Stewart, and so many more.

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.
she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.
some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.
try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.
she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.
#billie lurk#even the wiki is wrong about her its infuriating#pulled this out of tags because fuck it#in daud's DLCs even the stories that weren't about him were about him#but billie's stories are the scrapheap. they're the stuff they couldn't squeeze in elsewhere. cheap jokes and macguffins#i'm not even roasting the devs for this i think releasing dishonored in 2016 then DotO in 2017 was a feat (derogatory)#games should be made slowly and with love#and i know that everyones talked about this endlessly#but billie is my fav and it sucks that she got a game that only causes me to grieve for her as a character#not FOR her as a person#only the potential story that never was. that she never got.#you can have your strong black woman and not turn her into a trope. give her depth and range and heartache and agency. yes there was traged#but how did it SHAPE her?#dont get me started on her being designated caretaker of a former god and dying assassin. what the fuck#some of this i'd be more okay with if she was younger - i mean. the blank canvases? really?#this game could have been about wyman and there's not that much that would have changed in terms of the core story#“found out the asshole that killed your mother is still around. gonna go deal with that.”#emily who is stoned: “cool.bring me snacks on the way back”#wyman: “oh he's saying actually it was gods fault and that its possible to kill him. well i have literally nothing in my schedule”#billie's not surprised by anything anymore but maybe wyman would freak out over most of it. could have been a lot of fun#also you cant fuck up wymans characterisation. they barely exist.#local empress sends her enby girlboyfriend to kill god#pres writes increasingly deranged essays in the tags#death of the outsider spoilers#i have to complain about doto once every year or so or i die#but i'm not really gonna let arkane hide behind dev excuses when it comes to racism like. its not enough

Did You Know that several remakes of Halo 3 maps were concepted for Halo 4, with some even entering preliminary development?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Intended as a DLC map, Standoff received an early blockout for playtesting, and seemed to be a fairly faithful recreation of the original.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another blockout was made for a map called "Fortress", which seemed to be a spiritual successor to Sandtrap.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Though there is no evidence of further development of the map, a remake of Narrows was thoroughly concepted, with at least 9 pieces of art produced.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, the control tower from Last Resort was concepted, but no other evidence of an intended remake ever emerged.

Hi! I had a question. In multiple audios and even in game, there’s a pattern that John is fixated on pain and even women’s pain (Joey, Mary May, and the young woman he mentioned in the collapse that he killed after a night out because of anger) and even he was being a big creep when Mary May saw him for the first time (she was 16-17 wasn’t she), “eyeing her like a piece of meat”. If you can believe the ages given to us, he’s clearly much older than Mary May, and the cults been there for 9-10 years, she’d have to be minor.
My question is, why do you think the fandom and people dismiss his violent urges toward women and he was fixated on minor but still demonize Joseph when John was clearly unhinged on his own?
Sorry if its all wordy and all over the place, I just love your takes and respect your thoughts!
Hi! And thank you very much for your appreciation :)
We know John has a fixation with pain because of the “freeing” experience he explains he had when he was young, and he hurts people for this reason, but I really don’t think he enjoys inflicting it on women specifically. It’s probably a coincidence that Hudson is a woman and was sent to him instead of Jacob or Faith. The game never suggests that he would have treated Pratt or Burke differently if they had been placed in his “care” instead.
Someone in Far Cry 5 says John is “obsessed with the people in Fall’s End, and with Mary May in particular”, but nothing clearly indicates it’s because she’s a woman. The way I see it, it’s because the Resistance is strong in Fall’s End and Mary May is one of its “three biggest pillars”, as John himself wrote. Evidence shows he’s also “obsessed” with Jerome and Nick for the same reason: they keep resisting and fighting back. Mary May is stubborn, refuses to sell her business to Eden’s Gate, continues to serve alcohol, and essentially keeps saying “no” to John, so I think that explains why he has taken an interest in her. By the way, during the Deputy’s Atonement, even though Mary May is there, John mostly focuses on hurting Nick and Jerome instead, so it doesn’t look like he prefers torturing women to me.
And we’re not sure how old Mary May is, actually. The only official age we have for her is revealed in Far Cry Absolution: 30 years old. I know the Wiki says she was born in 1993 (so 25 years old in 2018) but I think that sounds young… For what it’s worth, Tasya Teles, who played Mary May in Far Cry 5, was born in 1985. And in the novel, John is said to be about 40, which makes much more sense, mathematically speaking, than his age on the Wiki (32 years old). When the Deputy arrives in Hope County, Eden’s Gate has been there for at least 9 years (since August 2009), so if John visited the Spread Eagle in 2009 and the age provided in Absolution is accurate, Mary May was about 21 at the time.
As for the woman John supposedly murdered before Joseph found him… like every new piece of information “revealed” in the Far Cry 6 Season Pass, I think it should be taken with a huge grain of salt. The incident was never mentioned anywhere else before, and while there’s no denying that John is capable of violence and murder, I don’t think him losing control and killing someone while he was working as a lawyer makes sense. According to The Book of Joseph, John Duncan’s anger was strong but it was also “suppressed”, so I doubt he would have physically assaulted anyone at that time. He was “full of rage” but apparently never let it out when he was still “society’s very model of success”.
So I don’t think the fandom ignores that John enjoys making women suffer, thought 16-year-old Mary May looked sexy, and murdered one of his lovers out of anger because these “facts” are all conjectures in the first place! If many people never mention those things about him, I think it’s simply because they know they’re not really canon and mostly come from the fan-created Wiki (which was also used as a source of information by Collapse’s writers). It’s undeniably canon that John is violent and obsessed with pain, but it’s not that he likes to inflict it on women specifically or that he committed murder as John Duncan, and Mary May being only 25 was never officially confirmed, either…
It’s true, however, that people tend to demonize Joseph more than his siblings and blame him for the bad things they do. He’s not innocent, of course, but John, Jacob, and Faith already had a lot of personal issues before they became his Heralds, and I disagree with those who say that they would have been better off without him. Things would have been different, yes, and maybe the cult wouldn’t have existed, but I don’t think their lives would have been better. In my opinion, they would all just have died sooner (and in poorer mental health)… In John’s case, considering he was on a self-destructive path and desperately trying to fill the void inside him, I believe he would have let “John Duncan” consume him completely and ended up drowning in his excesses.
So I agree with you when you say that John already was “unhinged on his own”, in a way, and that Joseph is often blamed for everything, even what he didn’t do. However, I wouldn’t say that the fandom dismisses the other things you mentioned because they’re not facts, just fan theories and interpretations not everybody likes or agrees with.

Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money Inspiration
Tumblr media
Were you previously aware that the Dead Money add-on was inspired by various movies, including Lifeboat, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Cube and Battle Royale?
Chris Avellone added that Cube played a key part in the add-on's design.
One of the original names chosen from Dead Money was Dead Man's Hand, which was unable to be obtained. You can read about Dead Money here:
