Not /j, /srs.
I was looking back over my posts, and that was my honest reaction. It's not very nice to keep autistic children around as your goofy lolcow, you know. Friends don't let friends post cringe. In your own words, I want to know why you thought it was fine to act like the kind of fuckin internet posting I do was fine, and that I should continue to do so, more, worse. Does that really seem like a good idea to you? Go look at those comments and say it to my face, fucker.
If you didn't, you are obligated to share with the class why you didn't offer even an ounce of dissent about it. There's a point past which politeness becomes condescending, and many months ago you could have saved everyone a ton of trouble, if you'd just said "this is terrible" or maybe even "lol cringe" at some point. It would have been mean, but it would have been less mean than sitting back and alllowing the high volumes of horror and embarrassment that ensued to happen. I mean, really.
If you disagree, I'd like to invite you to consider that you're wrong, and whoever gave me the ability to think and transcribe those thoughts with a keyboard has a lot to answer for. I looked at the megathreads today, and seeing people even partially attribute the 2500+ comment threads to my repulsive disaster posting is awful. There are people who actually post things of value in those threads.
I didn't think your posts were cringe, so either that makes me more cringe, or your cringe isn't actually all that cringe, and you're being hard on yourself unjustly. Trust me, this is math.
Trust me, I made a New Vegas effort-comment on the millitary structure of the NCR, and how to make it fresh and sensible.
Anyways, welcome back!
I actually want to say, in universe iirc the NCR has at least some heavy industry. They have working vertibirds and stuff (long after the Enclave disbanded) at Hoover Dam, they mint their own currency. While it wouldn't fit with their military ethos, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd come up with replacement parts for power armour too and learned how to pilot it. The biggest issue is clearly that NCR power armour was a pointless nostalgia grab built to sell skins in Fallout 76 :^) good effortpost.
Also math is apex cringe, practitioners of math are ableist reactionaries.
Thanks! I agree that they do have some heavy industry, and it would make sense for them to develop, I just didn't like the mish-mash of traditional millitarism with the expeditionary Rangers, lol
It's a betrayal of the NCR's whole point, in the fiction, kinda. Badthesda.
Badthesda indeed.
