The current fallout developers aren't even staying true to the games anymore so my hopes aren't high for the series

I find articles like this so frustrating. It feels like it is aimed at being a wake-up call to the reader, but at the same time offers no solutions, no advice and still lays the blame at the feet of the average person for not doing enough. "What we have done to ourselves" is not advocate enough I guess?

Perhaps I'm not the target audience for the article. I grew up in an environmentally conscious home we'll before it was trendy and have been worried about climate change for as long as I can remember. It's hard to see an article like this as anything other than an effort to drive traffic...

I'd be happy to hear what others got out of the article if it was more positive than my read of it.

See OPs comment below with a link to the reference comic. Fair warning though, it's some unsettling shit.

I feel upset with how bad I want this for every instance. I know that change can be good but I want my old creature comforts of when I was 19 and learning about the front page of the internet, chuck testa and maymays

I mean, it kinda sounds like you got hooked on the dopamine rush of social media and that you enjoy creative writing. I'd say all you need to do is channel that into more productive storytelling and you'll be well on your way to being a good writer. I'm certain there's creative writing communities out there that include roleplaying as part of it too. Creepypastas are all about that, albeit with a horror twist.

Maybe the throwaway nature made it safe to exercise your creative muscles so-to-speak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
