@l0rf2 ай бұрын
It's been a few years but there was a food safety scandal where manufacturers of lasagnas were found to have been using low quality meat from improper sources to keep their overhead low. One of these sources was horse meat not intended for human consumption.
@Freelancer4tehwin2 ай бұрын
It was an issue where ground beef produced in one part of the EU was being supplemented with non-beef meats, including pork and horse. This was then sold to food manufactures as ground beef - including the folks who made a number of store-brand ready-to-cook foods, like Tesco Lasagna. While Britain made international news headlines, on account of being the English language country involved, it also impacted Ireland, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Germany, and a series of other European countries. The initial investigations focused on a single corporate group in the food industry - based in Ireland and Britain - but it was found that that group was not at fault. Eventually, as other nations found horse in their beef supplies, it was tracked down primarily to a Romanian company. But the Romanian slaughter house was not at fault, as it correctly labeled and shipped the meat as horse. From there it sent to Draap Trading Ltd. (Draap is actually a Dutch comapny, and the name is literally horse - "paard" - spelled ackwards), who also sold it as horse. Investigations eventually led to Spanghero - who were accused by the French government of falsifying documents and rebranding it as beef. Research found that most people weren't worried about eating horse, but about the fact that the labels were lying, and that they didn't trust the supply chain. he discovery of Spanghero's culpability compounded an earlier E.Coli outbreak in the UK which had been traced to their French based plant.

Also, anything that could replicate or produce them are in the possession of the Gentry - the posh twats in Westminster. So they work somewhat as a currency. London is alot more 'civilised' than the US, the pre war government has retained a degree of major control.

I see it as making complete sense from the point of what the currency is backed by. Fallout's caps were (at least in the original interplay title) backed by water trade, which is a commodity needed for survival. Here, granted that the underground is maintained to a high standard, the commodity that backs the currency would be high-speed transportation - Makes sense that the vagabond lads say only the Gentry ride the trains now. Additionally, it wouldn't be easy to counterfeit unless a highly talented hacker was involved in the scheme. Any ticket that the train gates deny would be proven as fake and thus worthless. Even if it's a little odd I think it makes a lot of sense. Hell of a lot more than caps in fallout 3/4 to be honest.

I would have though that most of MATN's argument against tickets can be used against caps, too? "Caps are pretty tough so they survive being circulated as currency" - i mean, sure, but paper money was still a currency for 1500+ years IRL, being less durable as a currency doesn't make something less viable as a currency. "There is a finite number of them" - I mean, same is true for tickets? They don't grow on trees. "If you found an old ticket machine and broke it open, you'd have 1000s of tickets" - How many caps would have been found in recycle bins, vending machines, Nuka Cola delivery trucks, bottling plants, or any shop or supermarket, etc? Like, sure, you might find more tickets at once in a single ticket machine, but with caps there would be more places to find them in the world - ticket machines wouldn't be found outside of train stations, usually in city centers, which were targeted by nukes?

For the non brits, ill try and keep a running commentary of the British references in this mod. 1:59. Ladybirds. These are everywhere in the UK, they're really common, and while not officially a symbol, they def feel quite British to anyone from here. 2:25 Ion Brew. named after the real Iron Brew, a relatively popular Scottish fizzy drink, which like Ion Brew, is bright orange. 5:33 Prilladog. This is a reference to the real British dog food company Pedigree, who have an almost identical logo, of a red rosette on yellow stripe. 7:30 Tommies. Common slang term for a Brit in WW1. naturally their gear and especially the Brody helmet is meant to reinforce that ww1 theme. 8:05. The badge with a crown on It on the Guard armour is the Symbol of the Met Police, Londons police force. 10:29. Churchill. Obviously a reference to Winston Churchill and being a British Bulldog. But also, the Insurance Brand Churchill has a Bulldog as their mascot, and that's absolutely referencing him. 10:37. Perk Animations/ obviously vault boy would feel out of place, so the animations use the style of the 80s "Protect and Survive" Nuclear Information Leaflets. 19:37. Ruined Mini Cooper. Absolutely iconic British car. 19:52. Surrey Quays. Theyre a real place 20:05 Canary Wharf is a London Icon, the financial district at the heart of the city, the triangle roof building is One Canada Square 20:13 Massively Irradiated Thames. Look I'm not saying this is a deliberate reference to the massive scandal around britains water companies criminal negligence and our water quality being a disgrace, but I'm not, not, saying it either. 21:36 Fesco. A reference to Tesco, a massively popular supermarket here, they're everywhere 21:40. Jons "Horse Lasagna" Comment. About a decade ago, there was a massive scandal, when Tescos Findus Beef Lasagna was found to contain horse meat, we've taken the piss out of that ever since. 25:54. Fesco Bag. Yeah that's basically one-to-one with how actual Tesco Branding looks, its a little surreal seeing it in Fallout honestly. 27:06. Randeep. Judging by the name, accent and turban, Randeep is a Punjabi Sikh. Multiculturalism is huge is Britain, especially for people from former Colonies. In 1948, the British Nationality Act gave people from colonies the right to live and work in Britain to help rebuild the economy Post WW2. (In contrast to America, where it more refers to people from East Asia, the term "Asian" in British English is almost exclusively associated with us from the Indian Subcontinent.) 28:40. Thames Water is a real Tube Station 30:21. Computer. Instead of the retropunk scifi look of the American computers, this looks far more like the real 80s Home computers britain had, like the ZX Spectrum or Amiga 500. 31:28. Beans. The can of beans on the desk there is nearly the exact branding as the real company Heinz, 36:54. Bin. This is exactly how british public bins look IRL. with the black and bronze banding 37:21. 005. an obvious reference to James bond, fictional spy and british icon, also codenamed as 007.

I quite enjoy the lack of guns. It lends a lot more meat to the combat as you're always up close and personal - no stealth archer shenanigans. It also seems to lean a lot more on RPG style skill-based challenges and having to learn the environment to solve things non-violently. This is what an RPG is about!

you say that because he talks the whole time. Other games usually don't talk 200% of the time. Some times thats great. But when he talks over the conversations and stuff going on in the game, and he misses so much because hes busier thinking about what he is gonna sex next than realize he walked passed a few top hats so he didn't need to kill some one...hes a raider at heart

@@Yan-tz9pn that's beside the point though. The dog in the mod is very obviously based on the insurance company because of its colouration matching the mascot. The only way it could be any clearer would be for the dog to shout OH YES whenever it killed an enemy.

In my playthrough the Bloatmother was in the manager's office. It spent the the entire time I was in the back of the Fresco just watching me through the windows not making any noise. I completely thought it was some sort of boss mob because it didn't make any attempts to move towards me. It was just watching... waiting... daring me to approach. Ended up leaving because my gear was pretty bad still lol.
