My first Fallout game was Fallout 3 but I don't know why I didn't get into the series earlier. I wasn't really aware of it despite the fact that it was a computer rpg about a 50s-flavored nuclear armageddon. It seems like it should have been my jam! My first awareness of it was when I independently coined the name while re-theming my diaryland in 2000 and being annoyed by the name collision. I prob assumed it was a 3D action/fps game and so something I didn't wanna play and couldn't run anyway.

I've been watching a lot of Tim Cain's videos about his time in the game industry. They're really interesting and entertaining. This one is about how they settled on the name Fallout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBptoe19IcY

You know, it's been ages since I complained about Rust compile times, even internally to myself while watching a large project build.

Kudos to the peeps who worked on compile times steadily through the years!

I say this out loud randomly because sometimes the only thanks people get for work like this is silence where there used to be grumbling.

A little bit of good news for you:

🌈 A 12-person protest against a drag event in Kentville, NS, was answered by hundreds of LGBTQ+ folks and allies in a peaceful rally to support "Drag Me to Dinner". https://wayves.ca/kentville-drag-dinner-2023-06-support

🌈 A right wing bigotry rally of 3 people in Dartmouth, NS, eclipsed by a 30-person counter-protest. The sad-looking, damp fascists gave up and went home after several rounds of lively mockery. https://wayves.ca/anti-bigotry-rally-halifax-2023-06
