This Guy’s ‘Fallout 4’ Pagoda Will Make You Feel Bad About Your Shitty Shelter

In the post-apocalyptic future, you’ll need dozens of huge generators to animate a basic sign.

This guy's massive scrapheap pagoda in Fallout 4 is making my dinky Hooverville look totally pedestrian.

In Bethesda Softworks' newest game, you come out of cryostasis and into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you're given the chance to fix other people's problems, forever. One way of doing that is by forming settlements, on which the game allows you to make actual houses, decorate, and so on.

It's Bethesda's attempt at introducing some level of customized control that closely resembles what you'd find in Minecraft—in fact you can plant generators, power houses, and create a system of circuits, which people have already put to good use by making elaborate animated dicks (of course). Outside of that, players have already been settling the hell out of the wasteland, making in-game glow sprites, huge towers, and giant robot bases.

Just goes to show how gamers with a set of tools and a lot of time can be one of Earth's most bountiful resources.
