What do cannibalism, diet toothpaste and William McKinley have in common? They're the reason that Halcyon is...the way it is. This week's episode is about the Outer Worlds, Obsidian's 2019 satirical space RPG. We dig into our first alternate history, talk a bit about the Great Man Theory, then talk about Rizzo the Rat and space religion.
You know what they say, it's not the best lore, it's CORPO LORE.
Discussed
Outer Worlds, Corporations, Fallout, Going to the Zoo, Diet Toothpaste, Cryogenic Travel, Space Travel, William McKinley, Great Man Theory, Holding Companies, Selling the Stars, Rizzo the Rat, Space Religion, Space Colonization, Terraforming, Retro-futurism.
