Steel Ball Run (2004)

fallout 76

Pylon V-13 is a big broken time-portal at the end of the map, named after Project V-13, the cancelled fallout MMO. it was built by Greebley, a named character from that game’s promotional materials.

wastelanders opened on a shot of bodies hanging from the wreckage of the space station designed for van buren. in another update, a quantum inverter with a failed containment field can be seen running unchecked at vault 96, implying the world of Fallout 76 has been thrust into the opposite quantum state of the setting we were familiar with. i could truly go on. ultimately it is repeatedly implied the fiction of fallout is inconsistent because it is multiplanar. similar ideas are implied at least twice in fallout 4

this elegantly explains some surreal aspects of classic fallout, like the time lord, the guardian of forever, and the cafe of broken dreams. it also accounts for fnv’s wild wasteland as lore, and insulates each game from revision by later entries, providing a framework in which fallout 1 can be considered without fallout 2 getting in the way.

what the fuck
