  • Fallout: London is very libby, fair warning, but can be fun. If nothing else, the environment is a bit cumbersome to navigate but has some great set pieces, and some of the quests are very enjoyable. Can't say it's the direction I'd take Fallout, but it's relatively feature-complete and the fact that it isn't Bethesda yet delivers something nearly on par with Fallout 4 is quite the achievement.






  • The chapter on labor, and how patriarchy intertwines as an aspect of the superstructure in a way that culturally reinforces oppressive Capitalist systems was really cool to read, in a fucked up way. Patriarchy weaving itself into our understanding of how to be "model workers," regardless of morality or criminality as long as we chase the bag, makes a lot of sense in its staying power. It's like how, rather than critiquing Capitalism, Breaking Bad just makes it seem badass, ya know?

    The practical chapter was nice to hear as well, because nothing is more important for theory than putting it to practice. By understanding how and why the patriarchy works, we can work against it and help raise gentler generations unshackled from it. It's the most hopeful chapter so far.
