multiple non-british people replying to this with "source?": this is happening in the uk, it was yesterday's biggest story, most british people know someone who was affected or someone whose child was affected, because all final year students sit the same exams. since students couldnt sit exams this year, the government took their grades at mock exams and the grades their teachers predicted for them, and fed it through an algorithm that marked people down for being poor
Look, no matter where you stand on Apple v Epic this is definitely a crucial thing to consider

FONV mod Reviews: Autumn Leaves (i can't really make up many clever jokes here)
so yeah. if it weren't for THAT, this'd be an A+ class mod. But... fuckin' hell.

...oh. :|
welp I suppose there had to be SOME bad points. I mean Rolland uses an ableist R-slur repeatedly, which is the first point of :|
but then the mod author uses "autistic" in a negative, derogatory sense as one of the speech choices you can make. ugh. -_-
...friggin hell.

Oh.... huh...
....
.....I... did not expect the ending I'm getting from this mod... dang... um..
...
...shit this is... actually pretty good tbqh. Huh. Complex, uncomfortable... genuinely intriguing.

Okay damn I'm REALLY warming up to this mod. The mod repeatedly in its narrative calls out the rich fucks who made this vault you are exploring, and the particular rich fuck who was the only one to be in it when the bombs dropped.... Given this fucker had deep connections with Vault-tec, I suspect he MADE SURE he was the only one to get to use the vault and keep all the money.
....that was meant to be basingstoke but apparently my brain is wanting to clean mustelids now.
that's valid i guess

You know... this is sorta starting to play out like some kind of cold case murder mystery thing and... I guess I'm into it? I'm genuinely kinda fascinated, and there's some cool perks you can get from this mod too.
World design is pretty rad. It's obviously modelled after a vault (at least this bit) but the author has definitely made it their own thing as well, and there's some neat touches.
I'm somewhat quiet about this new FONV Mod I'm playing becuase I still have not made my mind up about it. It keeps throwing me curveballs and I am not sure what message it's gonna go with just yet.
On one hand, AI robot friembs! on the other... where ya goin' with this story buddy? What's your message here??
It's not giving everything away just yet, which I appreciate, but I really don't want to get really invested and go through all this to find out the message is "FASCISM IS COOL ACTUALLY"
FONV: Autumn Leaves, we're not sure where to. (FONV Mod Reviews)
...but the opening cinematic immediately goes into how this library was made because its very rich creators were "concerned about the political unrest around the world" before the war, and wanted to make sure they collected every book and literary work and science etc, and protect it from "censorship and destruction due to political agendas".
THAT part made me go "uh oh..." for obvious reasons :/
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
