>What can be done in Ohio
Idk Ohio shit?
I’ve never heard Ohio being bad just boring
Underage kys
Also, OSU is a good thing about Ohio that's often ignored.
You homosexuals are the most obnoxious fans on Earth. Everything about that school is overrated.
t. OSU alumni
this.
i attended osu and it's just another college
t. seething ohian.
*Ohioan
rhythm games are a big thing there huh
enter.
osu is for programmer sock wearing flamboyant gays. i thought it was a Japanese "game" though
THE ohio state university.
When's the last time the Black folk beat Michigan?
Take every Ohio meme and give it a fallout spin
>our corn is explosive!
This could be fun. But whats the main story line? Floridaman lost in Ohio trying to find a way back to Florida?
>But whats the main story line?
>Ohio man in the search of the machine that turned Ohio into the Euclidean hellscape it is and shut it down
>finally finds it
>the machine was never activated
Nothing much would change. I live here and it's already a fricking nightmare of cornfields between cities filled to bursting with entitled blacks.
Ohioan here. I was trying to give you a good breakdown of things to do but couldn’t make a worthy list.
Why does Ohio get memed on so much, is it really that bad? I thought Iowa was the bad one.
It’s started as “wait Ohio exists?” Then moved on to people making SCP style faux schizo shit about it like it’s a psyop or just a black hole/eldritch. And from there it’s kept evolving.
Visited Ohio last year and it actually does fricking suck. Most parts are legit 3rd world country level with dilapidated buildings, awful roads and completely decaying infrastructure.
Its a meme from basketball americans, basically their version of Florida man memes
Is it because Ohio is overwhelmingly white?
>Ohio is overwhelmingly white
The city with Chicago is white...
>city
>Ohio
>Chicago, Ohio
I'm a Detroitgay. Lead in the water got me acting up
Bait
>implying I'm smart enough to now what's bait
I'm just a natural moron
It was one of the main industrial states because of its location. Only issue is that it basically lost all that industry and its purpose.
i live near cleveland and cannot tell you a single positive thing about that city. my dad moved us here from the sticks in the 70s to work for WMMS, because back then at least cleveland had WMMS (they don't anymore after the clear channel buyout that station became syndicated ass and moved to 6800 Oak Tree Blvd, Independence.) at one time in the 70s it was voted the nation's greatest radio station. seemed like a great time to be alive. people are just lingering here today because they grew up here and the property is cheap.
Cleveland is really good for driving through to scare your kids into becoming racist. It's like The Walking Dead.
As a Cleveland resident it's kind of nuts how in the last 15 years Hollywood movies get shot here pretty often because they can just rent entire abandoned city blocks as there area to shoot and do car chases.
How much of Cleveland is abandoned?
my girlfriend and i attend a sex club in Cleveland every two months where we meet up with others and engage in degenerate acts of hedonism and debauchery.
It sounds like you think you're bragging but thats one of the bleakest things I've ever heard.
>WMMS
White Male Male Snake?
ppl started to assume the MMS stood for magic mushrooms because at the time they used a mushroom as a logo.
must be all the train and boat crashes.
Both states are bad because
>Republicans
>Republicans
Ohio is a swing state you fricking troglodyte. We had a fricking Democrat governor until 2011.
So is Iowa, doesn't mean both states aren't being cucked by Republicans.
I'm not reading some shitty tirade by a blue checkmark.
The point I'm making it that the state of Ohio is a non-partisan issue. Ohio sufferers from the same problems that having been plaguing the other states in the rust belt for the last 50 years. If every Republic politician in Ohio dies tomorrow nothing will change. The Democrats won't swoop in a fix the state because they don't care about flyover states with dilapidated economies.
>not knowing who Josh Sawyer is
lol
Don't know. Don't care to know. Twitter screencaps are cancer
Remember how a few years back the first new meme of the new year (forced meme) outside of Ganker was some bullshit "would dogs wear pants like THIS or like THIS?" thing? Same year Ganker and 8ch had something actually funny in C-CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM
That's why. It's some completely inoffensive joke that the unwashed masses can run into the ground without worrying about anyone getting offended because who's going to complain? The poor working class rust belt white workers who live there?
because it's random. there's nothing more to it.
It's a weird place. It sucks, but in an existential way. The nice parts are little oases in a sea of crap. The people responsible for bringing economic and structural fortune to the place are often the same people who actually ruin it. Everyone who has /something/ actively works to make that something unobtainable to others. There's a strange feeling living here, like the Universe is telling you to go frick yourself at every turn.
Just kidding, this is all of America. But Ohio's always kind of been like America on a small scale.
Thanks for your thoughts
It's a meme, aside from disaster of train with chemicals getting derailed, the whole state is pretty boring and tame. If you want place that is one of whitest states ever that is chill but boring, look no further than Ohio.
i live near to the ohio border in poor southwestern PA
apparently it's very similar, just across a whole state
i feel more likely to run into creepy shit out here though.
also i was raised on the notion that people from ohio and west virginia are all incest products take that as you wish
South east Ohio pretty much is just part of west Virginia. It's not until you hit Columbus that you start to see civilization
>is it really that bad?
It isn't bad. It's just one of the states that is slowly decaying due to those multinational liberal policies that the boomers and liberals vote for. It used to be a great hub for transport, manufacturing, and industrial pursuits but all of that is getting moved overseas more and more every year. That's why most people in this thread are saying it's filled with urban decay, because the cities that used to be booming aren't so booming anymore and there have been a number of exoduses over the last few decades. Rural Ohio is nice because it was never subject as much to the aforementioned decay, but most of the people there are 60 hour work week laborers and tradesmen that are drinking themselves to death in a trailer. That's why there's a really, really big meth problem in the state because after if your working 2 jobs then caffeine just doesn't give you the energy you need.
Iowa? Iowa is a nothing state save for its unfair ability to filter out presidential candidates. Ohio, on the other hand, is made to appear to be fricking S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tier because it's just trashier than most states with little else to offer to make up for it.
Ohio somehow managed to embrace the worst part of the regions it surrounded by
>Midwest
Lots of farmland and boring as frick terrain with frick all to do except fish and hunt
>Rust belt
Being dilapidated, run down shithole that has lost all its industry with cities infested with Black folk and democrats(this is where white flight happened)
>East Coast
Being filled with the most stuck up self centered tards, none of which can drive or not be obnoxious morons.
Zoomers just haven't heard of Florida apparently.
idk it's just a state where you do shit 99.99% of other white people do. you go to work, go home, play games. if you're a normalgay you go to festivals or parties or bars or whatever.
ohio is just another place in the first world (by us standards). i don't get what it's supposed to have to make it exciting.
Ohio is basically Texas-lite.
It’s just a le random meme. Ohio is completely middle-of-the-line America in just about every regard. It’s not great but outside dilapidated ghetto’s like parts of Cleveland it’s not bad. There are far worse states imo like Iowa, Nebraska, Dakota’s which are literal nothingness, and the general Deep South and Florida which is full of shithole poverty and inbred moronation. The worst states I’ve ever been through were Louisiana and Arkansas.
So what you’re saying is that we’re gonna have fun times in Cleveland?
See the river that catches on fire
It's so polluted all of our fish have AIDS
Would the Radiation make it better or worse?
I met Drew Carey while working at a Bob Evans. It was weird because he was skinny.
Yeah he lost a bunch of weight. He was a sergeant in the Marines too before he got famous, so he was actually in good shape when he was young too.
Would it fricking kill you to give a source?
Can't give a source when one doesn't exist
Ohio is where the aliens are.
The most sane man from Ohio.
ohio shape
Ohio is…. A state
Isn’t Ohio mostly a farming state?
we got corn like 5 blocks away from some of the worse hoods you could imagine. at least up here near Toledo
It's a mix of agriculture and manufacturing. Central ohio is filled with a frick ton of warehouses and processing plants.
ohio is probably the one place in america that could actually be improved by nuclear annihilation
The Great Lakes is very ignored as a part of American geography
Has there ever been a video game on the Lakes?
Any game set in Chicago.
Scott Pilgrim is set in Toronto.
i want to make a game set on erie, seems cool
the road conditions should be portrayed identically pre- and post- apocalypse.
An Ohio in Fallout should be like The Pitt + suburbs + forests.
t. lives in Ohio
bruh most normal waste land in ohio fr :skull: :skull: :skull:
did they do ohio because of the disaster that got memory holed
Why would it be set in Ohio? Nothing ever happened there according to the News.
STAY OUT OF OHIO
WE'RE FULL
>Implying anyone wants to go to Ohio
Yes exactly. It's horrible here there's nothing it's miserable. Don't come here seriously. I am trying to save you. Heed my warning non-Ohioans.
Indiana is worse, idk why ohio people says it’s so bad when their neighbor is worse. I live in indiana
The Ohioans that complain about Ohio are low IQ cosmopolitan libtards and weedheads in their basements. It's a beautiful state with lots to do outside of the black areas.
Black areas?
hawaii or florida setting would be great but bethesda isn't creative enough
why would anyone bother nuking Hawaii?
Targeting military bases and the Navy. Hawaii is actually a very likely target.
homie I'm a military brat that lived in Hawaii for 3 years and even I will tell you that that tourist trap is not significant enough to be a target in a nuclear war. At best it was a staging ground for WW2 military operations but considering that America was able to put boots on the ground in fricking China in the Fallout universe, any strategic importance it could have had would be rendered irrelevant
I asked a similar question after the Hawaii missile scare.
Source?
Anyways, it's not like Ohio doesn't have big cities like most states.
He might be memeing about the train derailment. Or the massive chemical spill that just happened. Take your pick.
I was born in ohio. I have left ohio and time and time again but I always come back. No one escapes ohio.
The methheads there and in Indiana would make for great Mutants in Fallout Ohio and there would be a side quest about avoiding the remnants of East Palestine and anything along the Ohio River due to high radiation.
>Flat farmland
>Flat farmland
>Flat farmland
>Shitty, dilapidated city that hasn't had a successful public infrastructure project in 40 years
>Flat farmland
>Flat farmland
Guaranteed the Ohio memes come from people in Ohio to try and make their extremely boring and non-noteworthy state more interesting than it is, like self depreciating humor for attention
>Next Fallout in Ohio
Youll be lucky to get a 76 expansion.
How is 76 nowadays?
I heard it's more or less the same shit as it was years ago.
Its more playable than at launch (they added NPCs) still feels very bare though.
People say 4 is good as a shooter but shit as an RPG. 76 is a better RPG than 4, but somehow managed to be a worse shooter too.
So i'm guessing the quests are good.
Are there any factions in the game?
If i can put up with the radiant quests then i can put up with anything.
quests are fan-fricking-tastic lol I'm not exaggerating
you'll be extremely surprised with quality of writing and variety of quests as well as how fun they are
there are factions but you dont opt out of anything and your choices dont matter THAT much, one crucial tip I can give is
>during Wastelanders questline, when about to take sides, make sure you do all quests for all sides up until the point of no return and always, always be a decent dude that allows people to SURVIVE & do what they want to do
>BoS and basegame quests are fair game
this will get you items you otherwise have to farm
And how is it playing with others compared to playing it alone?
>Are there any factions in the game?
Yes but they arent as important to the game as NV or 4.
I know thread is evolving into politics but Bethesda has been namedropping Ohio in 76 for three years now with the last single player expansion going into proper detail about what has been going on in the state, 76's map also ends literally just outside Ohio - knowing Bethesda loves dropping hints for future content, Ohio is more than a hint, its like foreshadowing
if they don't release Ohio expansion for 76 I am sure they were planning to and had it shelved at some point, we still dont know 2023 roadmap and I was hoping for a summer expansion, but SF is on the horizon so who knows
I really like it, if you didnt play during of after Wastelanders (2020 summer) you will get a wonderful 120 hours out of it, rest is up to you whether you can deal with jank & repetitiveness or not
Biden become the first ever president to win without taking Ohio, so he pretty much broke the Ohio curse.
>Biden
>winning presidency fairly
Riiiiiight
The most inoffensive state I've ever been to?
No, Bethseda isn't stupid enough to do that. What it gonna be about? saving corn? git outta here!
I appreciate Ohio for having Cedar Point and Kings Island.
Coney Had It
Ohio clears most states because of Cedar Point alone.
Ohio is a dead meme
Checks out
So what location would you guys want a Fallout game to be in?
Somewhere on the east coast of Russia
So how is Russia doing in the Fallout world?
>russia
Just go play stalker
Philly feels like an obvious choice that I haven't heard anyone talk about. It still exists after the bombs dropped. Maybe it's just too close to DC/Pitt for people to care.
>What can be done in Ohio in the Fallout universe?
Come to Cleveland and see for yourself.
If this isn't in Fallout's Ohio, then they missed the mark BIG time.
I’m from Ohio. I don’t understand why it has become a meme. Don’t like it much, if I can be frank.
This is what I would expect an Ohioner or whatever you're called to say, thank you for your presence
zoomer thread
There ain't shit in Ohio. Even the places that have its famous "landmarks", there ain't shit around them.
There IS a ton of lore surrounding Ohio, but all that shit happened during a time where shit actually happened in Ohio (ie: during the colonial era).
And even then EVERY state has that sort of lore.
>ruins of massive cities
>empty cornfields
nothing in between
do the same things you do in real life ohio. go for hikes, visit lake erie, get drunk, see punk shows, avoid mutants, try not to be sad
.
Reminder to everyone.
Should have been Detroit. It's such a giant shithole that would be fun setting for a Fallout game
To those who don't live in Ohio, what are your experiences with Ohioans? I've heard a few people say we seem to be on edge all the time.
I'd like all your football fans to stop moving to South Carolina. Frick you, we all hate you.
idk, beat the shit out of michiganders trying to colonize post-nuclear toledo?
Melonheads would have to make a showing.
