    Can’t tell if this is worse or better than my shit. How much worse are flags compared to this, most of them are fallout related none of them are WW1 or 2 related though I do want a Ukrainian anarchist flag.

      I had an ex-girlfriend who had grown up in her father’s antique shop and inherited all his shit when he died. Watching Antiques Roadshow with her was a trip because she knew the value of everything almost to the exact dollar. However, this had greatly distorted her perception of the acceptability of some things. She had an authentic “Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer” poster from the 1930s and I had to convince her that she couldn’t just put that shit up over her mantelpiece and expect to have friends.

        Specifically a rather famous design used by the Ukrainians during the Russian Civil War and more specifically their war of independence, while obviously not official because y’know anarchists it was wide spread enough to be a known variant. Though they also just sometimes flew a straight up black flag, though the one I want is the one with a skull and crossbones with words in Cyrillic that I cant read.

        Fun fact I been using some variant of vaultdweller 13 as a username since I was 12 since I played NV fell in love and then played 1 and 2 and got an isometric rpg addiction. Sadly unlike other classic Fallout fans I am neither a Slavic millennial or trans so I have little to distract from the isometric rpg withdrawal symptoms.

          Atom RPG, wasteland 3, etc. Not as old school isometric, but the vibe is almost there. I do miss the quirky humor, though. It is a shame the TV show is as campy as it is. Fallout 4 was all the dumb mechanics that weren’t the game. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll ever get a NV2 or the vibe of NV set in a different location.

            Too late played through those games, I require more. I’ve also played through Wasteland 1 in a deluded fevor state when I got covid.

            Also yeah I doubt we’ll ever get a NV again especially with how Bethesda seems dead set on doubling down on the camp, which is honestly a shame because for all its flaws Fallout 3 has a pretty good balance of goof and grimness. Maybe we could get something akin to that if Owlcat were to make a post apocalyptic game since they do 40k pretty well without too much grimderp encroachment. Also play Roguetrader and Wrath of the Righteous if you haven’t, real fucken solid games and don’t worry about the devs being Russian they fucked off to Cyprus early in the war.

                No problem, frankly speaking they are not given nearly as much credit despite being really solid devs since their games are relatively linear at least compared to what they are inspired by. Honestly I don’t really mind since too many CRPGs have a bit too much openness resulting in a confusing experience like their first major game Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Also they are making a Dark Herasy game which is neat, hope it has an All Guardsman Party reference.

                Also another recommendation I forgot about, Arcanum it was made by the same devs as Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines who also happened to be Interplay alumni meaning it’s got the same weird crackhead energy as Fallout 2 but instead of the Enclave being obviously based off of the Nazis you get literal 19th century steampunk eugenics. Games great 10/10 will shoot wizard with elephant gun again.
