Treason is one of the few crimes that have a strict Constitutional definition in the US... both fortunately and unfortunately, and in this case these actions don't QUITE rise to that strict definition: ...though if we started looking into money trails I suspect we might find actual...

Nobody's mentioned Raistlin from Dragonlance yet? Dude was super sickly, glass jawed, so easy to take in a fist fight, but was also canonically one of the most power Wizards in the DnD multiverse...

People have made furry porn since anthropomorphized cartoon characters have exsisted. To blame FNAF is a drop in the bucket of Furrydom compared to Loony Toons and Disney characters... Again, FNAF is a freaking drop in the bucket compared to Looney Tune, Merry Melodies, and the various...

No, they played the original games. There's to many consistent lore tidbits thrown through the entire game, heck, FO3 includes references to the Midwest Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout Tactics if you go looking on the Brotherhood's computers in the Pentagon. It's that I suspect they felt Jet...

Want to know what actually bothers me about FO3/4 when it comes to lore and consistency? Jet being a thing on the East Coast... and retconning it to be a pre-war drug. FO2 made a Big Deal about the origin of Jet and it being a New Thing... and that's all ignored and retconned in FO3/4.

FO3 did introduce some specific East Coast fauna. In the mutated animal category both Yao-Gui and Mirelurks first appeared in FO3 and thus could be argued to have been intended to be specific to the East Coast. Mirelurks explicitly were meant to be even more local, something that mainly...

Though he STILL makes a ton of money off it and the recent movie since, yanno, he created the IP and thus still receives royalties from it. And it wasn't just that he's a conservative, he's a CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE.

. . . Maybe someone mentioned it in the back and forth of the last few pages of shit flinging, but comparing the development and number of settlements of people between FO1/2 and FO3/4 is inherently flawed, and not due to the different developers, but due to an entirely different issue that it...

This is fair, and why the courts have expanded it beyond the old definition in many respects. Also this is why we use such expansive understanding of Freedom of Speech, because while Lying is a Sin, people often can repeat untrue information they think is true without the intent to deceive, or...

I mean, 5/10 is meant to be an "Average" show. I know we've gotten used to skewed ratings where 7/10 means it's barely passable and anything lower is trash, but 5/10 generally was considered "passable" when you use the full 10 point scale...

Love this old school idea. Dust off the Letter of Marque and Reprisal clause and start up a new golden age of American Privateers! I'm not being sarcastic, this would be kinda awesome.

Given that many Evangelical Churches in the US are more orthodox than the Anglicans are at this point, you really need to get off your high (Church) horse. Just because the forms are different, most major Evangelical Churches in the US have been holding out against the forces of secularism...

. . . Again, this is modern corruption. Religion, as understood in the 18th century, pretty much just referred to Christianity and Judaism, and the clauses in the US Constitution were about prohibiting the US Federal government from favoring one flavor of Christianity over others, either by...

I mean... these are why many Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox are all considered "Christian". There's actually a baseline set of beliefs that define it from the early ecumenical councils. Generally speaking belief in and adhering to the Nicaean and Apostles Creeds is the baseline...

Mirelurk are a specific East Coast mutation AFAIK. Originally they were Chesapeake Blue Crabs mutated by FEV and Rads (which is also why they were edible... it was a bit of a salute to a greater DC regional favorite food), and in FO4 became generically just crabs mutated by FEV and Rads.

Natural Rights. People here are talking about the idea of Natural Rights. The most basic of Natural Rights is the Right to Life. Thus, condemning murder in its many forms is an affirmation of that Right. The Right to own Property is considered another of the most basic of Natural Rights, and...

Bear in mind that from the 1990s onwards until the early 2020s the Establishment didn't consider China a geopolitical rival but rather a rising ally that was expected to eclipse the US as the main world leading country / economy. Obama even explicitly made it one of his foreign policy goals to...

I'm not sure we can convert HP values directly game to game just due to how mechanics changed between them. FO1/2 Values I think are directly comparable, but FO:T is a different beast, and FO3 / FO:NV and FO4 all had significant changes to how damage worked between them that their values are...

Do you ever actually research things? The Assyrians were displaced by ISIS, AFAIK the US never bombed the Assyrians in any way, rather, they attacked those who displaced them in the region when we moved against ISIS.

Depends on how you count body replacer mods in the "NSFW" category. Pretty sure the major body replacer mods for FO3/FONV/FO4 reach the front pages, and those often have a NSFW and SFW version of them. But then, body replacement mods for Bethesda games are pretty much essential as Bethesda...
