that reminds me, i've been wanting to get into postwar printing methods and what sort of print materials are being widely distributed
canonically, you've got the wasteland survival guide, farming the wastes, and water aerobics for ghouls in circulation, just to name a few, but i haven't seen a ton of discussion on this and i think it's fascinating
i imagine some folks can use terminals or printing presses to mass produce texts, but not everyone would have access to that
there's got to be a popular cartoonist working out of a casino on the strip and some famous penny dreadful author churning out serials
I agree, there's especially a lot of interesting stuff going on with the printing in FO4 books.
It’s possible that the pre-war magazines were printed on synthetic paper. Which is basically plastic paper, it is water resistant, very hard to rip compared to the pulp/cellulose paper. Our own magazines are a coated fine (usually cellulose) paper. It’s pretty but not as durable as synthetic paper which is used in our packaging I believe it’s used in pharmacy stickers too. Synthetic paper seems to seldom be used without a printer from what I’ve seen. And unlike wood pulp papers, cotton papers or vellum it’s less likely to biodegrade if exposed to the elements. Most likely post war printing is done with anything they can scavenge or use to make the paper.
Woodpulp paper or really any cellulose paper is going to be the closest thing to what we currently use everyday. Easy to rip fold and readily absorbs ink more that coated paper. The downside is it takes plant life to make. The Capital Wasteland plant life isn’t abundant (that doesn’t have Harold involved) it is highly possible that Moira printed on scavenged synthetic paper as it might have been easier to find. Which is why the first ones look so different than the later re-prints which might be uncoated cellulose, based given the staining and dog eared pages. It could also be an acidic paper as acid free paper tends to yellow at a much much slower rate and has better stability through the years.
Vellum is expensive, time consuming to make but it’s so durable in the right conditions it can last hundreds of years or more as long as it avoids moisture. A few leatherworker would most likely have figured out how to make it somewhere in the wasteland. It might be used by religious groups in Utah given the arid environment.
Canvas is durable enough for clothes and transporting, if it’s not stretched on a frame, it rolls wonderfully for easy storage. Because it’s technically cloth that you paint it’s an unlikely option to consider for most a forms of written communication. But I consider about those medieval paintings that tell a story with limited wording to be capable of passing on info close enough to include, because not everyone is going to be literate in the post apocalypse.
There's actually just dozens of regular ass paper printers in fallout 76 LOL
warning this is a post where i discuss sex. not explicit or descriptive i just feel it's worth mentioning on my blog where i rarely even reblog posts that mention sex in them as a joke
between being very very intensely sex repulsed and having grown up on an internet on which people were and still are openly disgusting about underage characters from series aimed at children i often hiss and jeer at the monolithic Horny People but like outside of the context of being subjected to sexual content against my will i do not think as a sex repulsed ace that horny people are my enemy. we may be diametrically opposite in nature but i think i have much more common ground with a kinky person who also wants to enjoy their preferred sexual experience in peace than i do with overzealous purity culture randos who declare the slightest mention of sex on the internet an act of great moral impurity y'know. shout out to horny people i might fundamentally not understand you but i hope you are all having fun
NASA putting mice in zero-g environments is one of the funniest fucking tests anyone has ever done and I hate having to hand that to them. Put those beasts in a situation.
rats can drive cars btw. if u even care
fun fact: the lab rats got into the cars and drove on their own free time, even without any treat or reward being offered
fun fact #2: the scientists actually found that the rats stress levels were lowered while driving, implying that rats find cars therapeutic
I love the whole branch of cognitive experimentation that just amounts to “we taught rats a fun new game and they really liked it”
a quick ren to get a feel for how i draw him! :]
