I was really hoping my "having your comment become a tagline is bourgeois decadence" would surely have made it. I was even prepare for a "Witness me!" bit with silver spray paint and everything.
Just saw "having your comment become a tagline is bourgeois decadence" in the taglines, bring out the silver spray paint!
Also saw I have a second tagline, time to line me up against the wall
Holy shit lol gonna refresh the page religiously now. I actually just bought a deck of Mad Max inspired playing cards this morning. I would say what are the odds but I'm sort of balls deep in Mad Max lore and such since the Autism Gods decided that would be my next current obsession.
Since I "own my own business" I think I'm allowed a little bourgeois treat here and there.
Those are wild odds, haha. Didn't realize Mad Max had deep lore, that's interesting!
Mad Max's lore is kind of weird because Miller retconned some of it by referencing modern current era tech and politicians in Fury Road which sort of broke the movies into a soft reboot of sorts, but I'm fan-brained and am sticking to the tall tale/unreliable narrative angle that shoehorns the new movies into the older ones. The main historical lore of oil crisis > resource crisis > law and order breaking down still works. Just gotta squint at some of the stuff like Immortan Joe using more modern circuitry for his breathing machine and such or that Tom Hardy's version of Mad Max is supposed to be in his 70s or early 80s. The age thing can also be marked up to tall tale/unreliable narrative too. Basically the History Men might be retelling the tale and they don't have all their info correct. /ramble
I always saw the concept framed by others as a campfire, folk-hero tale.
Yeah that's the angle I've adopted too. It makes it all fit together easier without having to finagle too much.
Also probably not really crazy considering my other interest I'm trying to get into is cardisty/shuffling as a fidget/hobby lol.
Cardistry looks awesome, but no way am I coordinated enough for that.
As for lore, I have always been obsessed with Fallout, but via ADHD. Never have I loved and hated a franchise more than that, haha
I've messed around a bit with begleri and butterfly knives and started doing it deliberately because I'm not that coordinated and wanted to try to improve. I have shit motor skills in general lol. Cardistry is just my next step in "maybe I can do that".
I almost picked up Fallout 3 and New Vegas over the summer sale and maybe even talked with you about them but ultimately chose not to because modding those games on Linux is broke af. I think I may eventually go ahead and grab them and go without mods though. I'm interested in the lore but don't know anything about it. I think apocalyptic lore/world building in general is fascinating.
We did talk, I remember that! Modding on Linux is in a better state last I ventured, I've done it a few times.
