Three Dog, the radio DJ for "Galaxy News Radio" within Fallout 3, was one of the best parts of the game.
The Fallout series has lots of other media within media too, like the Grognak the Barbarian comic series or Cat's Paw magazine.

>I’ve taken every plate in the USA — one from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, the five US overseas territories, and special plates used by the Federal Government, and sorted them according to my preferences, ranking on originality of design, technical execution, and quality of the concept. I’ve also awarded bonus points for some which I think are particularly fun.
Seems like a clever and quite positive way to raise awareness of how climate change will impact Boston. >“The idea was that this narrative about the climate monsters would be driven by kids, because their generation and future generations are the ones who will face the most volatile effects of climate change,” says Brophy. “It’s empowering them to approach this overwhelming problem from a new perspective, and to think about ways that they can write themselves into being the heroes of the story.”

Does Lemmy have anywhere I can see a log of which posts I've upvoted?

State wastewater data shows the levels in Massachusetts are more than twice the national average. That's based on testing done at the end of July. National numbers are also higher than normal. Massachusetts is among the 19 states in the CDC's "very high" range. The rest of New England is also in that range. Emergency room visits are at their highest rates since February. This is the most COVID activity in Massachusetts since last winter.

The catch: Municipal red tape might stop the statue even before it can be cast.
- The city has a moratorium in place for all new memorials in the Public Garden or on Boston Common, according to Lynn Page Flaherty from the Friends of the Public Garden, the nonprofit group that advocates for the city's oldest green spaces.
- The bench is also already dedicated in memory to another person, which presents a problem for the effort to honor Williams.
via Axios' brief article covering this.

Damon said in an interview with the YouTuber Jake Hamilton that an artist wants to add a permanent bronze statue of Williams in the lagoon area of the Garden [in the spot where where they filmed [the famous bench scene in Good Will Hunting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRG2jlQWCsY)]. “The idea being that if you feel alone you can go sit next to him, which I think is the coolest idea. It would be like the most beautiful installation and like such a tribute to that guy, who I think would’ve loved that.”

My first thought after reading was also that the charges seemed excessive.

After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

Over 44 years of operation, Great Scott evolved into a small-but-mighty haven for artists across genres — from punk and hip-hop to freak folk, industrial, indie and metal. Local bands and national acts packed the intimate, 240-capacity room, including Phoebe Bridgers, Jack Harlow, Ty Segall, Palehound, Pile, Oompa, Clairo and Speedy Ortiz.
If the stars align, we could see a new season featuring Massholes and Mainers bonding over Dunkin' iced coffees.

Thank you for your efforts! I've been up voting regularly and will try to start posting occasionally again as well.
The main things we need to do to grow the community are:
-
continue to get the word out to people who haven't yet joined. Post in c/NewCommunities, post on Reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives, do a regular search for Lemmy posts / comments in other communities and invite posters to join.
-
we should encourage everyone to UPVOTE posts here whenever possible. Upvotes not only encourage existing posters and incentivize new ones, posts with good upvote momentum could help more Bostonians across Lemmy find the community through the popular Hot or Top Day sorts on Lemmy.

I understand the desire behind this suggestion, but I think it would actually result in fewer people contributing, because it adds another hurdle to posting content.

No need to beat yourself up, just make simple changes to improve. Write a one paragraph summary for yourself after each chapter, or list key points you want to remember. The next day, review it and take 10 minutes to think about how that chapter applies to your life or other things you've read.
Once you've finished the book, rewrite & combine your notes into one or two pages and flip back through the book to find a quote or two that stands out to you. Then set a reminder on your calendar one month in the future to review your summary page.
Note-taking, rewriting notes, and spaced repetition are all proven study techniques. It's a little extra time, but it's nothing compared to the time you're spending reading, and it'll make a big difference in how well you remember your takeaways from it.

Looks cool. I'm most concerned about the tone of the show; the games are filled with absurd, exaggerated, and cartoonish elements that work well in that medium, but might come across as unbearably cheesy in live action.
No reason not to give it a shot though. 🤞

Copyright protects small creators. If it weren't for copyright and trademark laws, any new and trending song / story / media would be instantly ripped off by corporations that would exist solely to throw budget at reproducing and popularizing their own soul-less versions of peoples' work, without any compensation for the original creators. Artists and photographers would never see a dime from the countless t-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc. other corporations would create and sell using their pictures.
I know there are many frustrating issues with how copyright law has been abused by large corporations who have gotten it extended way past the point of its original intent, but remember not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Copyright as as a basic legal concept is the only thing that gives many creators a chance to make a living from their work.
