[@IsaacClodfelter]

​@@johnsayles8032 o think all of America could be revived if House had the military might of the brotherhood, the tech of the institute, Arcade Gannon and his people as advisors, and the man power of the NCR. If all of those factions came together they would not just be able to properly reclaim all of north America and thrive but also be the least antagonistic to the people of the healing country.

[@johnsayles8032]

@@IsaacClodfelter yeah but house doesn't trust people or value any opinion that isn't his own. Like bumping off the Kings if they make peace with NCR even though his plan was "peace with the NCR" and said peace was brokered by their right hand man/henchwoman. And what's more the reasons why everyone doesn't come together in one big happy tech family is the same reason there's a wasteland in the first place. People want things, whether it's what they got, what the other guy has, or some greater ideal. Those concepts bump, and out come the weapons. Peace between people is possible and takes a ridiculous amount of work, but it's only possible when things aren't live or die on nearly every decision.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

rainbowsixODST the original creators burned them selfs out at the time of 76 and give Austin the reins to the channel so it's no longer the pioneer channel for new lore videos and now for sub par content of you ask me and it doesn't seem like he's doing much with the channel anyway considering he hasn't done anything with the channel for 4 months so he's ether got real world problems or got burned like the original creators

[@stevelittle6608]

"To provide a safe haven from the ravages of war for humanity to survive in." Me: laughs in inhumane experiments

[@acrefray]

Just an FYI: for Vault 11, the purpose of the Overseer (by vault-tec) wasn't to die, but that was chosen by the residents because only the first overseer knew about it, and by the time they told the rest of the vault, the vault dwellers chose the overseer, and so the two decisions became conflated. (It's also heavily implied in the audio recording that one person got out after shooting the others)

[@Monsuco]

Vault 76 was an experiment to determine the willingness of residents to withstand buggy code, always on microphones and micro-transactions. Like most vault experiments, it was extremely cruel and inhumane and ended in failure.

[@ijinxi2141]

SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!

[@allenholloway5109]

You're a bit wrong about Vault 11. Overseers still ran things. In fact, the position of Overseer wasn't a sacrifice at the beginning of everything. But the first overseer, when they confronted the residents with the "necessity" of a sacrifice, they all immediately chose the Overseer as that sacrifice, and it became a tradition to sacrifice the Overseer and use the election as a method to choose both sacrifice and replacement. In fact, a big catalyst in that story is when one of the elected sacrifice overseers, Kate, if I remember correctly, changed the system with her authority to be a computer selected vote, and do away with the increasingly corrupt elections. This started a rebellion with the most powerful political party at the time, and led to them finally discovering the truth - that no one had to be sacrificed.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

Ultimate Knight vault tech was destroyed but most of the info for the vaults went to the enclave so they worked as planned but by the fact many vaults in the games says multiple times they never got the clear sign or any signs from vault tech after the war it's good to assume they ether hid in a secret vault or were all killed off

[@Jason97]

How come you haven't done a video about those Pulaski Preservation Shelters? There's no way you could survive a Nuclear Blast in those and they're essentially coffins.

[@mikewazowski471]

In my town there is a vault. A real one. It was built in the late 70's and has been maintained by a local non-profit. It can house 100 people and has a very small hydroponics lab, a water filtration facility and recently was given solar panels to replace or at least assist the 2 large generators, one diesel and one gasoline, that being so any fuel found above can be used.

[@jameswinter9546]

So, I was excited when you started to run shoddy cast. Turns out we are just getting no content.

[@henrymartinvo]

Ok so this is pretty cool seeing a quasi-return to form with these lore videos. If this is gonna be the thing now, here’s my opinion on it: 1) Incorporating more Fallout music (ost, not radio) would prolly tickle everyone’s fancy. 2) This is entirely my interpretation, but the Storyteller kinda comes off as... sarcastic? No hate or anything, I love the voice actor they got, but his delivery in this vid was a little more enthusiastic with certain phrases. Again, that’s just how I heard it. 3) Keep. The. Still. Frames. It’s nostalgic as all get-out and I love it. Thats just all my take/opinion. Im glad Shoddycast is making a comeback.

[@scottrushton6154]

The closest video game analogy to Vault 75 would be Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, or at least comes as close as possible to the experiment done there. I believe the child you save in Africa, Eli, who took the Sahlanthropus (misspelled likely) with some of the other child soldiers rose up and fought snake or one of his clones in a later game in the timeline of MGS is similar to what happened in Vault 75, one of the children bred for war in the vault caught on to what was going on and led an uprising against the Vault tec scientists and security and eventually became the Gunners. At least as far as the uprising goes.

[@flamebrindger3984]

Remember when this channel made Lore videos? I do. I guess that old magic was from the old format videos and it seems like anyone of us could do it with passion and hardwork. I feel it was too much for everyone with the animating, voice acting, editing, etc of the new format with the interconnected story. And after the latest videos giving no transparency to fans about what's really going on behind the scenes and broken promises with Patreon. It left me feeling disappointed at the direction of this channel. Even if it comes back what kind of videos are you gonna make? If it's hard making videos the who are the other people work with you? Even if the Storyteller left why couldn't you address a change in content or continue the Lore series with a new guy? I just miss the way this channel was back in the day.
