Fun Fact! During the Industrial Revolution in France, many weavers objected to the new mills that were taking away their livelihood. They responded by throwing wooden clogs into the mill workings to break them. These clogs were called sabots, those throwing them were called saboteurs and the act itself was called sabotage.
Seems suspect can you or anyone else link me the article
Bearcat Ben How hard is it to google the word sabotage?
Neat
Nicholas Cross
**dinky tune**
The more you know
Why were they called sabots? What is a sabot?
It's a shame the Pitt is short, it's atmosphere is incredible
Solo Probably one of the best DLCs of F3, together with Point Lookout. Wish you could explore more, have more areas, instead of rather linear scenery.. x). Love fighting hillbillies in the swamp of PL.. x)
I think Mothership Zeta is one of the best also...
I actually think Mothership Zeta is the worst, it's very lore breaking and was very linear and got boring after a while, the weapons were cool but it just felt really flat compared to the others
how is zeta lore breaking? aliens have been part of the lore since the first fallout game.
The difference is that they were just minor Easter eggs that possibly had a special weapon to collect, instead Bethesda decided to create a full blown DLC to them, and the idea that the Zetans started the great war? ridiculous to be honest, I honestly prefer the aliens to be just a little funny Easter egg
Huh, I never realized it before, but it really doesn't make sense that the slavers don't notice your pip-boy. It kind of gives away the fact that you aren't just another slave.
Thats interesting I never thought of that either. Seems like a pretty big plot hole
I mean, they get a lot of their slaves from the capitol wasteland. And, considering the model of pip boy in FO3 can't be removed without chopping off the arm, it's not a stretch for them to believe that the slavers caught someone from a vault.
Is it a bit of a stretch? Yeah, maybe, but it does explain that in a non lore breaking way.
@@shawnwolf5961 Mabye they tried to use Garys or used Vault 106 victims for slaves.
Can Dwellers take off their Pip-Boy’s? The BOS Outcast had to cut off a guy’s arm just to get it, couldn’t they just take off the Pip-Boy? In Fallout 4, a guy asks you to give him EVERYTHING just so you can join his movement, if you give him everything, you don’t give him your Pip-Boy and he doesn’t say anything about it. I’m a little confused how the Pip-Boy functions in this world
@@thicccheese4007 In Fallout 1-Tactics, the pip-boy was just a handheld device, and it's never explained why you can never get rid of it, beyond the fact that it's more useful than any other item in the entire game. In fallout 3 and, because it recycled 3's assets, New Vegas, the Pip-Boy model 3000 was introduced, and in those two games, it was practically a cybernetic enhancement, it burrowed it's way into your bone structure for God's sakes. In Fallout 4...who fucking knows. Because even when you give them 4 goddamn YEARS Bethesda still can't even explain the only piece of equipment that has been featured in every game of the series, or even mention why every incarnation of said device is different.
I honestly think Bethesda missed a great opportunity to sneakily slap one of the trogs with the name Sméagol for a cool Lord of the rings reference.
Beautiful...just beautiful.
I would love a "Twilight Zone" perk in the same style of Wild Wasteland, should Bethesda remaster this game.
"sneaky" "cool"
11:51 "We also get the most breathtaking view..." - as he stands in a plume of toxic smoke. Couldn't help chuckling at that one, Ox! :-D
can't take a breath becasue instant death!
aw I think I missed that little joke lol
@@JeanLucCaptain that rimes
@@boazbolhuis1836 NOW DON'T CHOKE ON THAT YOKE!
That was awesome 😂
"The sweat of our brow..."
**Andrew Ryan intensifies**
In New Vegas, there's a challenge called 'A Slave Obeys', where you kill Mr. House in his hyperbolic chamber with a 9 Iron! Nice little Easter egg there, Obsidian.
You missed something about the closet with the three skeletons outside. They've tried to lockpick it using bobby pins, you can even see a bunch a bobby pins scattered beside the skeletons. Great video :)
Woah I totally missed that, nice catch!
Ironic he says 'work makes us free.' Almost a perfect translation of 'Arbeit macht frei' which was written over the gates of Auschwitz concentration camp.
Oof.
It's like that is the point
@@KingGayCockroach I know, right? It sounds like it. That's what I was thinking too!
Though it does appear as if Ashur has the best interest in mind...very long term and still brutal interest, but...I think the world he created is already somewhat better than what was it before the Scourge.
@@TurKlack Kind of, but that's just it, the Pit is where nobody wins and no option is 'good' per se. I am.of the opinion that Asher's rule for a long term, idealistic goal is somewhat better than the short term but unsustainable goal of the rebellion, but in the grand scheme of things, both factions are horrible and the best would be to just get everyone out of there and figure out a cure in a safer place.
The Pitt sounds worse than what the raider gangs at nuka world did
Oli_bagan yeah they had an educated charismatic psychopath organizing them basically... The Pitt has Most in common with Ceasers Legion
Electrical Gaming yeah I've been in the disciples area but at the port they force them to do dangerous work whereas at nuka world they just own shops
Don't forget they send you out on jobs like "collaring" people, or attacking groups. The groups themselves differ from the raiders you normally encounter. Professionalism with a interest in profit, a wild group that values a alpha that is strong, cunning, and ruthless, and a bunch of blood crazed psychopaths. The Pitt raiders I respect for a few reasons.1- Their leader actually has a plan other then raiding and pillaging, a long term plan that requires necessary evils for the greater good. (Most raider gangs just go for getting more of what they already have.)2-Some of those raiders were once Pitt Slaves who fought to get where they are. They weren't pulled from the outside, they were people already there who got their ticket out of a "bad end".3-I say they are more advanced then the common raider gang. Equipment, structure, and actually have a purpose.
A bit
If the disciples were'nt there, they could be considered pretty chil.
Just a little note on your comment about the Pre-War workers.
Stopping progress is one thing, but the way the robots are described gives off a "gun at your head" vibe. The way managment emphasizes the "firing" off the workers who destroyed the robot and the way the robots acted at the end, tells me, that managment probalby didnt fire these employess, but fired at them. Workers werent laid off. They were disposed off.
I also guess that the protectrons shot at anyone without an ID, given the first entry on the terminals.
Also, who uses armed robots to work a steel mill.
This is not a way to replace workers with robots.
kommo1 agreed. The man issue to me with out government is not being honest with people about the age of technology and relying on companies to do it for them. They could have retraining programs for people or a campaign for new age jobs. Something. If you just cut people off like that, fired and broke just "integrating" is a pipe dream and isn't realistic
kommo1 its easy to say "adapt and survive" when you dont have a family to feed that relies on you, and you arent living paycheck to paycheck.
As technology develops and labor changes, we need EMPATHY, not social darwinism. sorry ox, gotta disagree with you.
I 100% agree with Jay over here. Their is an increase in population for the U.S. and a lot of Western countries. But their is barley any increase jobs. A.I.s on the internet are cutting the need for human works a lot. Unless you want a country with a big unemployment rate, I would advise not supporting people losing their jobs to machines.
The problem is (that's a current problem BTW), there aren't enough new jobs with the new technology. That's the point of it. They want to employ less people to lower the costs. All this 'new technology equals new jobs' is in reality 'new technology creates one new job and makes 10 obsolete'.
What we need is a new way of thinking. I mean what are you going to do if you can provide 200% of a populations needs with 50% of the workforce? You'll have an unemployment rate of 50% by no fault of them.
BTW, the real numbers will be different, but it shows the principle of the problem we are going to face sooner than we want to think about.
Soon as he started talking about how managment was right I couldn't stop shaking my head. This had nothing to do with holding on to the past. Everyone needs to experience trying to bargain with a Corporate entity at least once in their life to truely understand this situation from a labor stand point.
Slaver: You don't want to go down there, there's wild men there.
Me: Um ok, I'm not into that... unless there's wild women...
Slaver: Well there are...Hey wait why are you running down there you stupid shit... stop!

"Work is what makes us human!" Yeah, I know plenty a person who would repeat that sentiment without beating as much as an eye.
If people didnt work we would still be in the stone ages. If we want our species to exsist than work is essential to the foundation of society and civilization.
Interesting thoughts Ox. But this isn't about technology replacing laborers, it hearkens back to the Homestead strike. It's a little different, but it seems close to me.
The radio broadcast "work makes us free." Reminded my of the similar " work will make you free." That was was written on the gates of Auschwitz.
Yes well done you did a history. You going to ignore all the blatantly communist shit he said or would that hurt your feels and make you remember stalin was a cunt?

The radio broadcast, it's not really Orwellian.. this is more soviet style "lower classes unite" kind of stuff.
You're right, but Orwell used examples of everyday life in the Soviet Union as inspiration for his distopian futures. So yes it is Soviet, and also it is Orwellian.
Just because Orwell took some inspiration the Soviet Union (and war time Britain) doesn't mean that it's Orwellian propaganda..
The soviet style propaganda is very much about the lower classes getting what's owed to them, and no one standing above them anymore, and that only by self-sacrificing for the community can real progress be made.
Orwell's propaganda was far broader than what the speaker is going into, especially considering that it normally incorporates the addition of doublespeak (a very important part of Orwellian speech), blind devotion to someone who knows better and will protect you and references to "non persons" who threaten the peaceful life.
It's practically the same thing
frostmagemarii reminds me of bioscock
+Neutral Milk Motel
No.. no it's not.
The two types of propaganda relied on sending out different messages to it's people.
This is reminiscent of the early revolution style propaganda of the Soviet Union.
It's all in the language that is used.
I remember getting lost in The Steelyard, when I was trying to find all of the ingots. Found them though. Apparently it is recommended to get them all at once, since after you turn in the first 10, they are no longer marked as a Quest Item and have weight.
Rena Ami Akai i get as many as I’m able before that part where you fall through the floor because of point lookout bugging that area and then I just keep playing the main quest and come back for the rest later. Uninstalling point lookout and finding the rest and then reinstalling it is just too time consuming
Cody McCollum or you could exit the game, and load back a save to where you almost fell through the floor, and while the save is loading, immediately hold RB LB and X then the floor will be back.
Cody McCollum so that’s why I kept falling through the map, and dying. At least I found a spot that wouldn’t kill me and explored out of bounds.
I think Tom meant that replacing humans with mechanization is inevitable but this isn't the way to go about it. You don't lie to your men and then just one day fire them all. That inspires riots and violence and just shows how scummy the fallout universes corporate ethics were.
People alone are almost always reasonable and rational. You sit your men down one at a time, explain the situation, maybe help them find a job elsewhere either in the company or another company with a positive reference. In an ideal world you'd even give them a few months severance pay to help cushion their transition into their next job when they find one. With all the money you'll be saving by mechanizing it's honestly the least they can do and brings a little good karma their way. Of course that's rare even for company's in our world.
But more important than anything you don't lie to your men and let them know as soon as possible so they can start looking for work elsewhere. Employees have to give employers notice, so it's honestly the bare minimum to reciprocate that respect instead of just kicking them out the door with a sayonara because you know as well as I do the CEO is going to write himself a big bonus check for slashing staff costs.
Backwards world we live in really. We reward all the wrong things.
Yup, some people say they wouldn't resort to violence in this situation but they don't realise those people thought their jobs were secure. They felt lost because they didn't know what to do next. How could they afford to keep the lifestyle they worked for years for.
A proper company would either facilitate alternative employment by referrals or training the workers for new jobs
well yeah in any business situation thats just the right thing to do for your employees for whatever reason you have to do layoffs, but in the video this goes to a whole new extreme, theres a difference between industrial enhancements which alters the number of jobs per production, and completely replacing all human effect of the production, work, and sale of a business product, in terms of what happens in this vid that really cant happen cuz theres much more to it than just the production costs for the business, if theres no workers theres no citizens with money to buy said products when they are not working, so this whole idea of autonomy or even a public with no free will just falls apart and takes out the idea of an economy with it
@@criticalthinking1144 That's what's happening in the real world right now yet stocks have been growing for over a decade.
How is that possible? Your average citizen doesn't own stocks. It's an area dominated by the wealthy. When they say the top 1% owns 99% of the wealth this is what they are talking about.
So despite inflation rising steadily and wages being flat since the 70's and 80's the economy is growing.
So you have the loads of people who were making good money in manufacturing now making entry level service position money.
Yet the economy has been 'growing' for over a decade. How? Despite inflation we switched to global manufacturing abroad where we can pay people even less so prices drop and the average citizen can afford it despite those low paying jobs.
All that automation pushed your average American into the service sector but now even service positions are being automated.
When service becomes as automated as manufacturing we are going to have the kind of collapse you were talking about.
FYI: I despise politics but I am deeply interested in how the economy works and trends.
@@josephmatthews7698 agreed, im usually not that interested in politics (or at least not the 2 party quarrel crap they do now), more so i try to look back and understand the dynamic of how democracy and free trade capitialism was intended and supposed to work when structured, then apply it to today while questioning whether somethings broken and need to be fixed, or just needs to be updated to fit a modern situation of cirumstances, and as far as i can tell its both lol, theres some stuff that just needs to be evaluated again and addressed, but the bigger issue is democracy and capitialism are just pretty much broken now, so business is becoming more restrictive and limited and now companies are having personal opinions you have to agree with or your ousted, and democracy is broken cuz nobody can choose anyone other than the Republicrats
yes im intentionally grouping them together cuz even tho they pretend like they are divided on 2 sides they really work together and agree as 1 unit, the rest is a show to divide the public / the people along only 2 sides so they fight and argue between each other about the 2 sides, instead of the people questioning "why the govt isnt doing their job of finding the reasonable middle ground to compromise for the majority of the country?"
which is cuz they dont have to, the competition aspect of democracy has been broken since they reduced it to a 2 party system which it wasnt supposed to be, and now no matter what they do they all still get to keep the same jobs, make the same money as part of the system etc. which is broken lol
@@josephmatthews7698 yes true it is the stock market to a degree, but also just the fact we have majority of companies in the US avoiding the countries fair labor laws and producing everything in a country with much less restriction and standards on labor, (which loses americans jobs way more than illegal immigration, including specialized jobs or management etc.) to ship it back here to the US and sell it for multiple times what it cost while paying the retail market minimal salaries, basically taking advantage of the quality of life and minimum wage laws in the US to make the most of their product while avoiding its production laws to have everything produced in a less developed / financially stable country
I knew Fallout's universe was dark, but the story of this factory...

Yeah yeah, that's sprinkles on shit, but hey, in the Pitt, you'll need it.

Not gonna lie, I laughed when you said you think your ENB makes the view more clear. The game is green enough already, lmao.
Everyone has different tastes and while I think the ENB adds some enhancements if set correctly, I have to agree that this particular one looks so green and weird that I don't like it either.
my late friend Tom would have loved your narrated fallout videos, thank you for making them.
Tom had post polio and played Fallout 3 a bunch but by the time fallout 4 came out he could no longer work the game controller let alone a keyboard, he passed in 2016.
You're shoveling these out bro, motivates me to play Fo3 again if I can get it to work.
Synn Synn I have same problem. NV works fine but my comp refuses to play Fo3, sucks big time...
It'd be nice if Bethesda patched a fix or released a way to go around, I spent good money just so it can taunt me in my Steam folder.
Synn Synn Might be a patch for that.
Synn Synn or tolerating the shoddy graphics...
For some odd reason Fallout 3 works for me in windowed mode. I lost a bit of screen size and it takes a little getting used too but at least for me it works and after about an hour I don't even notice the smaller screen. I don't know if that will help but it is worth a try.
Faint? she helicopters!
"he's a tough bastard, took every shot of my pistol."
LMAO i didn't recall how funny that was
I really don't know why, but the Trogs scared the shit out of me when i were younger xD
The thing about that protectron story, is that a protectron will show up as soon as you finish reading the last entry and go out, even if you never activate the protectron that shows up just before that room, it creeped me out when I saw that on one of my playthroughs, it's like if the protectron was always waiting for the guy to get out and kill him.
The original atmosphere looks so much better than the mod.
Which mod?
I disagree

@Autumn I agree
Nah enb looks way better
24:33 I work as a welder in the manufacturing industry. And I have some problems with this philosophy. I used to work for a multibillion dollar company who was notorious for finding "cheaper automated" labour. (They will remain unnamed for obvious reasons) one day we got a shipment of automated robot welders, replacing a good chunk of the line. Now I of course dont believe in sabotage to win over automation. But do strongly beleive in sticking to your guns and not giving up. The way we went about getting rid of these machines, was simply out performing them, and making it clear to management we wouldn't be laid off to machines. We worked hard and exhausted ourselves, making sure every weld laid down was perfect and exceeded specifications. Eventually we outperformed those robots to a point, that the higher ups were losing money on the robots, and we were producing more profit. They were forced to sell them. Over 60 men kept their jobs, do to hard work, and determination. Sticking to our guns showed them, we weren't going to be replaced.

John Henry swings a real big hammer
So early it doesnt even show up on his channel lmao
It's easy to say that when you've never been replaced buy a machine and the job that you work is your only way to make a living

Fuck that hahaha
Shit, I need to go buy some tequila!
The way he says "work" wants you to drink a shot of tequila 😳😂🥃
Heres a note: The wild bills side arm is also a weapon available in fallout shelter. You could possibly include this in your "all the loot" video
So despite him mocking you by telling you he's going to loot your corpse once you are dead, it's very obvious that he never ventures into the steelyard since there's a decent condition assault rifle just laying around right in front of his door... =p
OH NO NOT THE IGUANA BITS 🤢
Fallout 4 Vudeos mmm, 'iguana' bits~
Yeah 'iguana' bits some people's favourite
I think you got on the soapbox for the wrong reason at 23:45 in the video. The manager was saying that it was a bad way to do it, not that it was bad to do it. It's an unfortunately common strategy. Instead of telling your workers to start looking for new work because they'll be replaced soon, management intentionally lies or withholds information in order to bleed their workers for every hour they can until the new system is in place.
This gives the workers no warning and no time to search for new work, and the reason why management does this is because people stop showing up to work that they know will end, or they might find a new job before their old one fully phases them out. There are correct ways to do it (have workers sign binding agreements that void their compensation if they depart early, pay them more for their final month after warning them, or use a random lottery to replace small quantities of workers at a time), but all of those things cost time or effort.
In the Fallout universe, it's right in line with the dystopia of pre-war society, down to murdering employees instead of using the police like they're supposed to. It parodies something that happens too often.
These multiple part lore videos are like movies but actually good
Never got to play any FO3 DLCs.. which makes this an awesome experience
R. King me too! I just downloaded Broken steel today (on my ps3, 10 euros) but dont know why but The dlc "dont wants to activate".
Tomorrow I'm calling Sony to... Well It was 10 euros... Or i get those back... Or they give me a free-working Broken steel
+Awkward Chameleon Ever get the problem fixed?
I'm surprised he didn't mention that Wild Bill's body and the steel ingots around his body can glitch through the wall and floor. Which can make them both inaccessible to the player unless you glitch through the wall.
Also, it's worth mentioning that when you're on the quest to collect the ingots they have no wait. But after turning in the quest the ingots will have weight. So it's best to collect all 100 ingots while on the quest, unless you want to end up making multiple trips if you left too many behind.
The White Wolf
Yeah that happened to me. My game won't glitch me to where Wild Bill & the ingots are. Tried several times.
I love how you do these videos as well! You know, it'd be so freaking cool if you did a whole Let's Play like this!
I just realized at the end of that radio section that Asher was talking about “work shall set us all free” immediately gave me chills because that’s the same slogan that the Germans used at Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.
Oxhorn I love your videos! I'm recovering from surgery and there's nothing like Fallout lore to keep me going!
Keep up the good work friend :)

"He was one tough bastard, took every shot of my pistol..."
It's not about robots replacing men, it's about "how"! Lies by the management made it worse.
That's true, the lies made it much worse.
@@oxhorn I 100% disagree. It is how the profit munchers discovered a faster and cheaper way of getting shit done and took the shortest path. In doing so, and this being the Fallout universe, that "shortest path" also allowed the annihilation of all of the workers with no consequences at all. So both of you need to get your heads out of your asses and understand that until robots can endlessly produce whatever we want at no cost to us, we will fight for out jobs. On top of that, there will be people who will fight tooth and nail to keep the job they have because it makes them feel better. In your world humans are irrelevant but if you haven't noticed we still are.
24:33 good grief, Ox. We don't come here for your codes of ethics for the modernization of the American workforce within the confines of a Capitalist institution.
We come here for lore videos!
This video was aired on my birthday, it was a good present to hear about his, Your voice is soothing Oxhorn, I like to listen to your commentary when I need a breather from life and your voice never fails
During the radio broadcasts, Ashur said something to the effect of "work sets us all free". This is probably a reference to the Nazi Holocaust, where plaques were put up around the camps saying "work sets you free" (in German of course).
I love the Pitt. Its one of my Favorite DLC. As Always Oxhorn you deliver the Best Fallout Lore Videos ever. Proud to be a Subscriber. Another DLC I love is Point Lookout. I hope that is the Next DLC week after this one!

Your profile picture makes me think that I just started a new Fallout 4 game and started creating a character
Appreciate the work you do oxhorn.
“We must earn our world through work!” My ass
I find it really interesting that the riot seems to mirror that of the Homestead Strike in the late 1800s
I live in Pittsburgh and this is weird to watch because I know where all of these places are😂😂😂
23:43 this was a....disturbing probe into your Ideals Ox.... It's much more complicated than just "adapting". Given enough time machines will be able to replace humans in literally any job conceivable, including even science & research jobs. It's efficient admittedly, but where does that leave us? We now serve no purpose by your logic, and believing the machines will serve us after reaching such a high point of advancement is not at all a reasonable expectation.
I agree that how the workers reacted ultimately didn't help them but management was also clearly lying to them, and they knew it. What were they to do? Find jobs at a new steel mill? well that's entirely possible, but by your own logic, that job is likely to be replaced with a machine too in the very near future. Taking it to it's furthest extreme, all labor based jobs would be replaced by machines, because they are simply cheaper and more efficient. So now they are expected to advance their credentials, to be retrained to learn a new job. That costs money, money these people may not have.
This mindset disproportionately reduces available jobs to the amount of population we have, even in a 1st world country like America. This increases the number of unemployed & homeless people (not to mention it's downright fucked up) and further increases the divide between the upper and lower class.
I'm not saying that inevitably replacing labor intensive jobs with machines is bad, quite the opposite. But we need to do so responsibly, it needs to be done over a very long period of time, so society can adapt. This "survival of the fittest" mentality of yours is a little worrying.... everyone deserves the opportunity to live a good life. Taking that away from someone for the sake of "efficiency" (and therefore greed) is inhumane. We are no better than the animals if this is the mentality we adopt as a species, and will inevitably lead to our downfall.
The lesson of Tom McMullin is that, when man is replaced with machine for the sake of greed, ultimately man will Die.
yep, his little speech pissed me off.
Oxhorn doesn't have to worry about losing his job so he is fine with this "progress". My father has been in construction nearly all his life , if they replace the workers with robots to do the construction , he has nothing to fall back on, construction is his life.
totally agree with you. I love Ox content but cant bear his ideals. they are totally sick
The answer is simple: completely rework the world economy from the ground up. \o/
Even if you did introduce a robotic work force, your going to hurt the job market anyway. Robots if lacking any self awareness are best fit for jobs humanity does not do well, for instance a machine is better at assembling masses of cars rather then a group of humans. But doing so will ruin jobs, this is why you have to build industries around the machines, create jobs. Otherwise the homeless population will boom, and thus the economic strain of high unemployment will ensue and so will crime and then society will begin to break down. But no matter what way you go at it Oxhorn, Chunkblaster machines will replace jobs in the future. The important detail is how will we adapt to it, and how we can avoid as much human suffering as possible in so doing.
Oxhorn I just have to say I love your videos man. It truly trandsends the stereotypical gaming channel. No dumb intro, no stupid jump cuts. The pace is great help everything is great about these videos. And the fact that you do a live stream for the fans every week, truly you are a good guy. I don't have any credit card otherwise I would totally pay on patreon but I never skip the adds when I watch your videos. Love you mean keep up the great work. One of the most original and thoughtful commentators on this website.
Cant wait for Old World Blues, these videos are the only thing keeping me fresh with Fallout Lore
The workers should've burnt the plant down and visited the homes of the higher-ups after that 😈
Monday is my least favorite day...
no oxhorn
Damn this dlc looks awesome, makes me realise how well my vassals have it.
One of the things I like about your videos is that you verbally react to the NPCs dialog. Of course, you only need to do that in F3 and FNV, and I really enjoy when you explore all the dialog options as well as give us explanations and lore. Can't wait for Mothership Zeta.
Drinking game: take a shot every time Asher says "work."
U think drinking is a game?
@@bv3365 you think it isn't?
The Pitt looks no different to Pittsburgh today.
"work will set us all free". Ashur might as well rename the Pitt Auschwitz-Birkenau. At the entrance of that camp, it says in German "work will set you free"
You just gotta love these The Pitt videos/series!!!
The way you tell the story's, your voice, the way you play the game, the decisions you make, makes me stick to your videos like super glue and where there is nothing new to watch, I just replay the old ones. I'm just like a ghost watching over your videos.
So in conclusion, if you are replaced by a robot: Just learn to code.
At least you'll get some closure in knowing that you now rule the brains of those that replaced you.
"Took every shot of my pistol" was stupidly funny.
Trogs were meant to be in Van Buren. Very interesting to see Bethesda adding them into The Pitt
I wonder how these factories have the manpower by now with how slave deaths are treated. You think how common death is here, you think the slavers would be more careful with there slaves since if they all due their will be no one to work the factories and there out of the business, yeah they conduct raids for new slaves but would even that be enough to make up loses.
Brandon Lyon It's because they can easily get more slaves. There's shit tons of slavers in D.C. constantly pumping a supply of slaves to the Pitt, and slavers in a few other locations. The slaves are expendable to them.
Doesn’t make as big of a difference when the ones that “survive” just die of disease or go insane. You might even go as far as to say that it’s better if the workers die while they’re still in their right mind.
In Portuguese brazil slaves deaths put paced births....they just bought more, same situation.
How do they get the caps to buy more slaves , no one is buying any steel products at all and they scavenge food from the city area but it's meager and terriblely inefficient to do , If I was the lone wonderer I would build a big healthy colony at point lookout it has potential lol
i love how this master slaver dude keeps talking like "we are going to work together to make this place good" and "we will build the city with hard labour" well the only ones i see working are the slaves. neither he nor his raiders seem to do any work at all.
the lesson is not "why" not to replace humans with machines. rather, it is "how" not to replace humans with machines. if you do it like the management of this factory, replacing all workers at once, there will be a lot of anger, destroyed machines and innocent blood spilled. if you do it a bit smarter and less easily noticable than just firing everyone at the same time, it might work out well enough.
the thing with adapting is a bit of a false equation. let's say the factory starts out with 100 workers. now management decides that it is time to replace all of them with robots. now, suddenly the factory only needs maybe 5 or 10 technicians to perform occasional maintenance. where are the other 90 workers going to go? and that is under the assumption that each and every worker has the neccessary skill and money to immediately start paying for a course on how to become a robot maintenance technician, which very likely isn't the case. but even if that is the case, you still have 100 former workers fight over 10 technician jobs and the others end up unemployed. of course a very good situation for the factory - robots are cheaper and faster than workers and by having many people fight over very few technician jobs they can get away with very low wages for the technicians, so a lot of money is saved on wages meaning more profit for the company - but for the workers it is pretty bad.
Lol "sweat of our brow" ok Andrew Ryan.
In Pittsburgh we call them Still Mills.
Also:
PPG Place
The Still Building
And Pittsburgh used to be that smoggy irl. Men- sorry, WORKERS would carry two shirts to change into after they go home.
Pittsburgh had many steel mills that were shut down, many many people lost jobs. I can see why these workers got violent, and I don't blame them.
By the Æsír you are a demigod. How do you even have time and energy to do this? Oxhorn, you amaze me to no end.
Seriously, your commitment to these videos is astonishing.
Is it bad that I laughed hysterically as Oxhorn read the lines describing Wild Bills' death to Milly
Holy Heck Ox, Loving the videos. I don't know how you pump out such good quality videos each day without having an annurism. Keep it up man these videos are amazing!
As always a great video. Love the time you put into them everyday
Hi you are the best fallout TH-camr, hi from england
England! Wow, that's my favorite city!
Admiral Jackson Not again..
DAZ PERSON well, finally someone from England!
The jobs threatened by robots jokes in these fallout games were meant to be black comedy jokes in 2008 ten years and change later and it's frighteningly close to reality
I don‘t think that‘s the meaning of Tom‘s story at all. It‘s meant to make us draw parallels between the Pitt of the past and present; different eras of downtrodden workers and management who see labourers as expendable and replaceable.
I really appreciate all the added info in your videos, I think anyone who has an interest in real world history, and fallout lore history, probably appreciate the added info as much as I do. Thanks Oxhorn!
Postscript: Your videos are like watching a "let's play" fallout edition, except done by a guy who is a serious fallout fan.
Tom's story is very relevant, or at least it will be soon. Current bots (hardware and software) are already writing copy, writing music, driving cars, doing legal discovery, and "general purpose" robots are already in prototype. Once general purpose robots make the same transition VCRs and DVD players made from only the very wealthy to the general public, most jobs will become scarce, including but not at all limited to making more hardware and software robots. There's no clear answer, but simply fighting progress isn't going to work any better than it did for Tom's coworkers.
Whats it called...the Singularity. The point in which robots can walk, talk, and mimic human behavior to the point that the two are so alike you can't tell which is which. Yeah, I say that it can be a reality eventually.
Robot workers are not progress but humanities downfall
Benny tops they will create new industry's that humans work
@@mrbeefy1101 How so?
Since I started replaying fallout 3, I started and finished the Pitt over the last weekend, coincidentally. Not sure if I'm super happy with my choices, but not sure if the other options would of been morally better or not. since I'm trying to play a good character.
I love how they keep saying it's so dangerous but all you have to do is get an autoax and stand behind something.
I kinda find it a bit contradicting the way you defend the factorie's management after all those videos talking about morals, good/evil contrast human decency and common values, the workers did what any human with a crappy job that needs to hold on to, ifthe supervisor was honest with them maybe they wouldn't have thought that he was in it too, it's what happens when you push someone to despair, the whole adapt to survive philosophy, in this specific context looks a bit raider-ish, ''the strong survive while the weak die''. Maybe this is the only kind of job that these workers where fit to do, rendering it obsolete would be putting a lot of men and women and possibly families on the streets, doing so just for the company to get more and more profit, it's just downright selfish and as you would put it. Evil.
Still love your vids, and hope you keep 'em coming Ox.
Rewatching this series again - Oxhorn's lore videos are top notch and extremely enjoyable - but man the political commentary in favor of the bosses definitely didn't age well since my last viewing.
amazing intro Ox your content never fails to keep me intrigued
All I can think of when I hear Ashur's radio signals is "Arbeit macht frei" Work sets you free.
Love your videos Ox but what you said about the factory workers was a very bad take. Like others have said its easy to say that people should adapt and change or die but that not only completely lacks empathy but also isn't realistic as alternatives are not always available especially when you have a lower income which is almost always the case as the working class are always the first to go in the name of "progress"

You should show the cannibal trait ending of this dlc

The quote from the writer Alvin Toffler is something to remember when keeping up your marketable skills in the workplace.

11:50 literally breath taking
Perfect spot for a trog and Wildman den
23.43 said the youtuber whos job can't be taken by a robot. I love your content but I absolutely disagree with your opinion on this. Im not proud. In their shoes I would freak the hell out. Maybe not as far as those men went but still. Im not trying to be offensive, but perhaps walk a mile in someones shoes whos job may one day be replaced when they are already struggling to just get by. Thats all. As I said still love your content. Respectfully disagree
If your job is taken, I agree you should be expected to do bash actions. Maybe even criminal actions. That doesn't excuse that these men tried to kill their friend over a fucking paycheck.
The PITT always felt to me to start in the beginning after leaving the vault.
I was wondering why I found chems in tv and engine block. Thank you Ox, great vid as ever.
THEY TOOK MY JOB!!He took your job! Rabble rabble rabble rabble!
Der terk mer jeeeeeeerbs
