He sent me this picture and a video clip and all but explicitly threatened to chase me around with a rubber/foam mallet like whack-a-x games use. Because he wants to play “whack a commie”.

Damn, I really hate the Red Scare.

      Yeah, it’s all just part of that Cold War America vibe that Fallout as a world captures beautifully. I dunno. Some commies really hate it because of the people who like it unironically, but I really love it in an ironic sense. Like, I miss the Cold War because I miss the USSR, but I also kinda miss the aesthetics of the Western world at the time, y’know? So yeah, Fallout makes fun of the Cold War in a way that hits perfectly for me.
