“Cosa accade oltre la soglia della morte? ‘Le Cose Ultime’ è un romanzo che intreccia la storia personale dell’autore con grandi eventi storici, come la Riforma protestante e l’Olocausto, per interrogarsi sul significato dell’esistenza e sulla possibilità di un aldilà coniugando rigore storico e slancio poetico.”

I was wandering what you people think about this one.

Personal I agree on the main points, I loved New Vegas put never finished Fallout 4.

EDIT

Since so far nobody has bothered to watch the video (and I don't blame anybody for it... It's a long ass video), I asked Ai to give us a summary.

Introduction and Initial Impressions

The Fallout series has a history of inconsistent quality, with games like Fallout 1 and 2 being masterpieces, while Fallout 3 was a 3D game with a new world to explore, and Fallout New Vegas being a great comeback to the series' quality
00:31.

Fallout 4's story is a confusing mess, with a bizarre and unengaging plot that fails to materialize into anything meaningful, despite having the building blocks of a good game
02:05.

The game's introduction, where the player character enters a vault and is frozen in cryogenic sleep, is poorly designed and full of nonsensical elements, such as the vault's entrance being exposed to the outside and the player character being expected to respond rationally to orders after being thawed out
03:40.

The game Fallout 4 has a fully voiced main character, which limits role-playing options and forces players into a predetermined emotional response
09:48.

The conversation options in Fallout 4 are limited and often don't match the character's actual dialogue, making it difficult for players to role-play effectively
12:15.

Story and Narrative

The game's story takes place in a post-apocalyptic Boston, where the player must navigate various factions, including the Minutemen and the Institute, to find their missing son
12:43.

The game Fallout 4 has a sequence where the player must find an escaped Institute scientist to help enter the Institute, but this involves hiking through the Glowing Sea, an area filled with deadly toxic radiation storms and mutated life forms
19:51.

In Fallout 4, the player can venture into highly irradiated areas without proper protection and still survive, which is unlike Fallout 1 where radiation can silently kill the player if they are unprepared
20:53.

Factions and Characters
Super Mutants in Fallout 4 are portrayed as big, dumb, and screamy NPCs, unlike in other Fallout games where they have a rich history and interesting characters, such as Marcus, a former soldier of the Master's Army
22:18.

The game's factions, such as the Raiders, Super Mutants, and Triggermen, lack conversation, motivation, and backstory, making them one-dimensional enemies to kill, unlike in Fallout New Vegas where factions have their own stories and motivations
24:26.

The Gunners faction in Fallout 4 seems like a unique and interesting faction at first, but they are automatically hostile to the player and lack any meaningful interaction or storyline
26:57.

The Minutemen have no real in-universe reason to resemble historical Minutemen and lack goals, motivations, or ideology beyond protecting people
29:20

The Institute is a ruthless and evil organization that abducts people, replacing them with identical synths, and is the main villain of the game, with the player eventually infiltrating their base using a makeshift teleporter
31:46

The Institute's director, Shaun, has a questionable standard for determining whether his parent loves him, involving completing various challenging tasks in the Commonwealth
37:12.

The story of Fallout 4 has plot holes, such as Shaun's ability to control technology but not intervening to help the player, and the lack of explanation for Kellogg's age
37:56.

The Institute's portrayal in the game is criticized for being unrealistic, with its members lacking personal lives, free time, or leisure activities, making them seem like robots
41:27.

World-Building and Environment

The world of Fallout 4 is compared to those of previous Fallout games, with the latter feeling more real and alive, while Bethesda's Fallout worlds feel dead and empty
45:21.

Diamond City appears to be poorly sustained, with only two tiny crop fields and no apparent use of available space for farming or other purposes, and its inhabitants live in rickety shacks despite having the resources to build better housing
46:25.

The city's use of stadium lights for illumination is impractical and wasteful, especially considering the scarcity of power in the post-apocalyptic world, and other locations like the SUS Iron Works seem to have an abundance of power without explanation
47:08.

The game's world-building is lacking, with many locations feeling dead, empty, and static, and characters like the inhabitants of the Drumland Diner living in squalid conditions without basic necessities like beds or toilets
49:26.

Ghouls in Fallout 4 don't need food or water to survive, contradicting the main quest of Fallout 1, where the water chip is crucial for the vault's survival
55:36

Gameplay Mechanics and Choices

The game puts the player in a position of power, making them the general of the Minutemen and director of the Institute, but this has no significant effect on the world or plot
57:16

The game's approach to artificial intelligence and androids, such as Codsworth, is inconsistent and raises questions about their sentience and treatment by factions like the Brotherhood of Steel and the Railroad
01:00:14

Game Reviews and Community Reception

Games journalists cannot provide meaningful reviews due to the need to constantly produce content, and their reviews are surface-level, lacking investment in the game's IP, history, and themes
01:05:29.

The review process is influenced by the potential loss of early access to games and ad revenue, leading to overly positive reviews, such as Fallout 4's 9.5 out of 10 score from IGN
01:06:02.

In contrast to Fallout 4, games like New Vegas have a dedicated fan base, with a cult following and real-life meetups, showcasing a genuine artistic product with a lasting impact
01:06:38.

Non so se si può definire un pattern una cosa che si ripete da soli due giorni (oggi e ieri)… ma diciamo che, se la memoria non mi inganna (altro punto dolente), questa merdata è successa anche la settimana scorsa, o forse quella prima… quindi va bene così. È un pattern: più dormo e più […]

“wish i could sleep for a whole week” — “vorrei poter dormire per una settimana intera”

t.me/famiterimediosa/788
Non so se si può definire un pattern una cosa che si ripete da soli due giorni (oggi e ieri)… ma diciamo che, se la memoria non mi inganna (altro punto dolente), questa merdata è successa anche la settimana scorsa, o forse quella prima… quindi va bene così. È un pattern: più dormo e più finisco per rimanere stanca dopo il mio risveglio. Qualcosa che non saprei come descrivere se non come imbarazzante, e forse avvilente; non da raccontare, ma da accettare e sopportare. 💀

Dato che questa cosa va contro ogni logica di buon senso, e sapendo perfettamente che dormire poco non mi fa magicamente stare bene, l’unica ipotesi a cui posso arrivare è che anche 8-9 ore la notte non mi bastano. Di conseguenza, l’unico miracolo in cui posso sperare è che una fottuta intera settimana di sonno possa aggiustarmi… e dunque vado avanti soltanto con questa vana speranza. Come l’essere vivente presente in questo disegno, che stringe forte il suo Blåhaj (che, vedo male io, o piange???) mentre ha ancora gli occhi chiusi ermeticamente e il pigiamino con cappello mangiatesta kawaii (pure se io sono in realtà molto più brutta e rassegnata, e i miei capelli ancora più disordinati), ardentemente spero, desidero di poter arrivare a ciò, un giorno… 🙏

Tuttavia, c’è un problema in tutto questo… ossia che, probabilmente, non avrò mai modo di fare questa esperienza mistica a tratti ultraterrena, in cui l’anima riesce più che mai a riposarsi rimanendo staccata per più di un centinaio di ore dal corpo, perché verrò sempre svegliata, ci saranno cose da fare, o boh — le palle mi saranno rotte, in buona sostanza. E forse è un bene, perché se scoprissi che dopo 168 ore di sonno sono ancora stanca potrei scegliere di abbandonare definitivamente questo pianeta, ma dall’altro lato bramo, voglio, desidero… anche solo la cosa in sé, nemmeno per forza un risultato rigenerante. 🥀

Big Black - Atomizer (1986)

Atomizer è l'album di debutto del gruppo punk rock americano Big Black, pubblicato nel 1986. In una recensione per il Village Voice del settembre 1986, Robert Christgau scrisse: “Anche se non vogliono che tu lo sappia, questi piccoli monelli odiosi sono anime sensibili: sono spinti a fare questo orribile baccano dall'orribile dolore del mondo, che apprendono leggendo di tutto, dai libri di testo alle riviste di bondage. Questa è la brutale macchina da chitarra che migliaia di codardi adolescenti solitari hanno sentito nella loro testa. I suoi creatori meritano il merito di essersi trovati e di aver reso reale la loro ossessione”.
