Plus, you get a dog
Longtime sweasel commenter Ermine bought me a game. This astonished me, as I didn’t know anyone else could see my wishlist, let alone buy something on it. Thank you, fellow weasel!
Disclaimer: nobody else follow, pls! Most of the stuff on my wishlist isn’t stuff I actually want, it’s just games I’m keeping an eye on for one reason or another.
But Fallout 4 I really did want. Ermine is an open-worlds kindofa a mustelid, as am I, so he knew I’d like it.
And I do. I got frustrated the first few hours (I died and died and died), but eventually got a handle on it and am enjoying it muchly. It’s a shoot ’em up in post-apocalyptic Boston, which is fun. I can’t say I recognize many of the places, but I do the names.
I recognized part of the Freedom Trail, though, which really is set with red bricks in the sidewalk. I’d forgotten that!
So that’s what I’ve been up to. Games, I realized, remind me of incredibly vivid dreams: they feel like real and amazing experiences at the time, but they fade away, leaving mere wisps of memory.
Oh, well. Everybody’s got to waste time.

Heh.
Make sure you do the quest to fly the USS Constitution off the bank building.
And yeah sometimes the game landscapes remind me of my dreams.
Fortunately not a lot of them are like Fallout 4.

As a resident of Boston for the last 10 years I’d be able to fill you in on some of the spots, but, alas, I am not a gamer.

I’m in a Sweasel blog post! I feel like Navin Johnson! “Things are gonna start happening to me NOW.”

I can never get beyond die, which is why I am not a gamer.
