You know, folks are giving you a lot of unnecessary shit for this comment. And I get that when viewed with sufficient context and cultural awareness of American politics, the meme clearly implies at least a correlation between voting blue and an improved quality of life. (edit: which mind you I do believe exists, at least in so far as it compares to voting red)
But I also saw it and thought, “this meme could easily be interpreted by MAGA cultists to justify their vote for Trump”. They would of course be wrong, but with the isolated set of data provided by the meme, it really doesn’t only imply what it thinks it implies.
Its alright. Has a lot of fun moments, sometimes tries to hard and falls on its face. 6 or 7 outta 10.
It has a lot of fun with its roots as part of the Bethesda games, so if that is what you think of as Fallout, it gets bonus point. It takes a bit of a steaming dump on its roots as part of Interplay Fallout, so if that’s your frame of reference, loses some points.
All in all, worth watching, but only good in the context of “for a show about a video game”.
Still, because of the very opinionated fanbase, it’s either the best or worst thing ever depending on who you ask.
