Fallout 4? It's a game where you have sworn vengeance for your slain spouse and kidnapped son, and are forced to wander a blasted wasteland, desperate and scavenging, irradiated and relentlessly attacked, to survive.

Anyway, this is my collection of fine ceramics.

I get optimistic, archaeological urges in this game sometimes, when I imagine 200 or 300 years in its future. SOMETHING has to survive the apocalypse, right? They'll need to fill some museums, one day. So I save the nice stuff instead of scrapping it. :V

Just feels like it would be a helluva shame for a beautiful porcelain vase to survive a nuclear blast and 200 years of chaos just to be smashed up and turned into a rifle stock or whatever. That's for coffee mugs.

Speaking of Fallout 4 decor... hoo, boy. Let's not even acknowledge the time I spent carefully arranging this kitchen cabinet.

I was SO HAPPY when i found all those pots and pans and the oven mitts and the cutting board.

Next to that: a little side console. I may move the pitcher and glasses to the cabinet and the wtach to the bookcase,, then add vodka and whiskey bottles next to the decanter and shot glasses.

Decanter is leaning because it won't NOT lean. So, that one's not on me.

the TVs in Fallout 4 still work, BTW. But if you hook them up to electricity, this is all they show. I basically use them as lamps.

The bookcase, featuring two projects:
-An attempt to collect a full set of billiard balls, and
- My successful mission to collect a baseball, a bat, a baseball cap, and a baseball glove.

And skulls. Gotta have skulls.

Pleased to report umbrellas DO fit in umbrella stands, BTW.

My kitchen table. People wander in and out of my house constantly, so I gave them a place to sit, drink coffee, maybe read a 200-year-old newspaper. They can also look out that dilapidated wall and gossip about who's visiting the settlement; it faces the town entrance.

The newest addition: the science corner, primarily made because I couldn't bring myself to scrap that cool microscope. lurking in the corner is an extremely awful Jangles the Moon Monkey doll. Dunno why I'm holding onto it, I actively hate it.

Where I sleep. :V

I may spread the trophies around the settlement more evenly in the future, but for now, I'd like to keep my prizes for myself. The Deathclaw I killed in the basement of Kendall Hospital, alas, did not drop a hide, so no mounted Deathclaw head for me yet.
