Just your average unmarketable, anticapitalist plushie gal. I love games (video games, board games, card games, ttrpgs, etc.) and other nerd shit.

Prism Launcher is easily the best third-party launcher, hands down. It's really useful and intuitive, with instances (basically it lets you make seperate game installs for different modpacks or versions or whatever) and lets you easily install any mod, modloader, modpack, resourcepack, or shaderpack from all the major platforms (CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB, Technic, etc.)

Well, Prism is forked from PolyMC, which is forked from MultiMC. Prism lets you download directly from Curse and FTB, while MultiMC doesn't.

The second is of a protestor about to attack a downed police officer with what appears to be a hockey stick, captioned "OK". End...

Stormyfemme is talking about a certain phenomenon on r/AskReddit, where a lot of the questions asked survey (usually) women about their sex lives in a way that makes it obvious that OP gets their rocks off to the answers. So basically the implication is that you're doing the same thing.

(I'm not saying I necessarily agree with Stormyfemme's assessment of your motivations. I'm just giving context.)

I remember getting one from a fascist saying they wanted to "tie people like [me] up and drag their bodies from [their] truck"

I haven't watched the TV series, but I'm a big enthusiast of the games.

I'd say start at the start, especially if you're alright with more old-school games. The first two are (sometimes punishingly hard) isometric RPGs that I personally had a blast playing. Some of the later games have little references to them that you might miss, too.

Get Fallout 2 on GOG instead of Steam if you can, the version on Steam is the censored European version that removes all the child characters and quite a bit of content with them (since you had the option to kill them in the game's open world environment, despite the game heavily penalising child murder).

If turn-based combat and 90s graphics really repulse you (totally fair, I know they're not everyone's cup of tea), you could try playing the 3D games instead, which are essentially first-person RPGs with FPS elements. Fallout 3 is alright, the story isn't that good, and the gunplay just feels a bit off, but the environments are really well-crafted and are fun to traverse.

If you have to play one Fallout game though, I would pick Fallout New Vegas. It's mostly made by the guys who made the first two games, and they really really knocked the ball out of the park. It's still got the slightly awkward gunplay of the third game, but everything else is really well done. The story especially is probably one of the best video game narratives I've experienced (putting it up there with those of Disco Elysium and Undertale).

I haven't played Fallout 4, so I can't really give you any recommendation there.
