No love for “A Boy and His Dog” which is set in 2024 and is one of the big inspirations of the original Fallout games?

I just watched a trailer. Is it as bad as it looks?

It basically kicked off how we do dust punk in media and without it there wouldn’t be Fallout or Mad Max as we know them today so, no? It’s weird for sure and not everyone is going to like it, also it’s incredibly dark and would probably be easier to list the trigger warnings it doesn’t have than does, I think it’s a legitimately good movie

Bell Riots coming up this September! Keep an eye out for a guy who looks suspiciously like Captain Sisko.

It’s frustrating that the only thing unrealistic about this episode is that a riot would actually change anything

“Was able to establish a wide broascast data link through the planetary communication system” is such a fancy way to say “got viral on a tik-tok livestream” which would be the most likely outcome

This is a terrible way of visualizing data. Who uses a bar chart for years‽ It should just be a timeline.

The bar is from actual release year to setting year, that’s why the left edges aren’t aligned

The annoying thing is the vertical line (when this infographic came out) wasn’t updated so it just looks like a random line.

I was thinking it was meant to line up with the year 2000 (as shown on the axis at the bottom), but then I saw that somehow 2001 was behind the vertical axis which makes it not make sense at all

Because it’s demonstrating the difference in time between the year the movie was created and the year the movie depicts.

It is a timeline then. I thought that what it was, but a legend would have been nice.

Still an awful visualization, since the scale of the chart makes it impossible to compare the release years. Also it should have a legend explaining that.

Timeline would suck. The right side would be so far it would compress all the data.

Clearly this should be a pie chart.

Nah, they should go with a box and whisker. One box for release date, one for date depicted.

This seems like the most likely outcome at this rate. At least costco will have public transit.
