guys in the world of Fallout love to live in dirty shacks and never clean up the pile of garbage and literal human skeletons in the living room. even though they've lived in the shack for like four years and there's a broom like literally right there. i have thought about this every day since i played those games
this is literally why i won't play fallout. like i'm not going to get all Podcast about it, i don't feel like having a Big Picture conversation, but i just personally think that the FO3 devs took a really lazy stab at "post apocalyptic", went with the first thing that came to mind, everyone embraced it, and all of culture just said "welp i guess that's what post-apocalyptic looks like"
humans aren't like this. people aren't going to just not pick up broken plates that fell off the shelves 120 years ago when the bombs fell. yeah for like a couple years, sure, but by the time you have infrastructure and you're on your like fifth or sixth generation, i swear to fucking god mom is going to tell you to pick up a broom before you're allowed to go outside and play with your drop-and-runs
Oh right, MrBtongue did a whole thing on this way back in the Obama years. Then it disappeared, then it got reuploaded here.
