I'll do that right after I store a fork, a toy car and some random bottle caps in my personal safe.

Fun fact: the Fallout series has 73% more toilet skeletons than any other game franchise, according to the Environmental Storytelling Toilet Skeletons' Workers Union, which is an organization I just made up.

"Whether one believes in environmental storytelling or not, and whether one believes in Todd Howard or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate toilet skeletons."

Todd Howard is essentially an alternative religious figure at this point, and I'm tired of pretending he's not.

It just works.

I'm so glad someone added a single dot over the word "fuck" so I couldn't read it and get offended, whew

[-] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, super fucking close call there.

[-] hex@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

To me it almost reads as an emphasis for the fuck. Like fUck yes!

You know what really grinds my gears? People who look down on those who choose to be an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton. There's nothing wrong with being an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton. If your life's calling is to be an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton, then don't listen to the haters,. Embrace your destiny as an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton.

Yep, all those arguments about Bethesda sucking at everything. The response used to be that they're really good at environmental storytelling. But this is what it amounted to... Bathroom Skeletons in funny poses.

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

I don't understand. I've never played Fallout, but I saw many examples of environmental storytelling from it on YouTube.

Don't forget the terminal entries telling the story at you

Ehh, idk, if the toilet is surrounded by concrete, and have no window, it's actually an ideal location to hide to survive if no nuclear shelter or basement available. It could protect you from the shockwave and pressure.

I like to believe that all the teddy bear scenes in FO4 were the work of a single person and not a huge coincidence. Hell, it was probably that guy who made gun noises and rode away on an imaginary motorcycle some raiders talk about outside the hardware store.
