You're reading something and having it ring true. This is what's scary.

I feel very, very depressed now. Very much so. =(
My stomach hurts.

Most things that people typically find scary or gruesome or offensive don't bother me. I don't mind watching the Berg killing or Chinese fur farms or Hitchcock movies or any other sort of thing like that.

Things like the world of Fallout, Chrono Trigger, or Lorax, or the ending of the Peloponnesian War or the Grapes of Wrath, are profoundly, painfully unsettling to me.

There are some other, very unusual things I find uncontrollably terrifying.

But Fallout makes me feel very depressed and uncomfortable. =(


Can I ask why, if you don't mind explaining more thoroughly? I was a huge fan (well, am still a huge fan) of the first two games, because they're simultaneously horribly unpleasant and an exercise in very black comedy at the same time. It probably helped that I was 12 when I played Fallout 1.

If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.

"That which has been lost can never be regained."

My profound inability to let go of things, or to contemplate problematic realities that can't be improved by any means, makes scenarios of that nature very discomforting.

You guys should read One Second After by William Forstchen. Quick read, but an interesting concept; frightening to consider.

it's extremely easy to create weapons with the same magnitude as nuclear weapons without making them radioactive.

Verily, I have often laughed at weaklings who thought themselves proud because they had no claws.

Kinetic bombardment.

Take a high-mass rod and launch it towards your target, from space, at a high velocity. The rod would be hard to detect because of its profile and velocity and, upon impact, would produce the equivalent of a small nuke. Not sure how they would shoot one into the ocean without it expending its energy upon impact with the water.

Anyways, this was something that was brought up during the Reagan era. Has it been fielded - who knows...

well i could link you to some sweet particle physics essays that you probably wouldn't understand (not being condescending, even i don't understand most of them) but i'll just say they are weapons that rely more on particle acceleration instead of nuclear fission.
