Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).

The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.

I am sort of speechless, but for all the wrong reasons.

Sometimes there's just not new enjoyment to be had? Like, I had my golden years with it. But the way markets effect things like IP, there just isn't a reason to linger. Finding new hobbies can be rejuvenating too.

Edit: also it means I'll get to have wistful moments in the future where some random thing makes me pause and reflect on all the feelings I associate with Fallout. Before melodramatically sweeping all those feelings aside and double down on whatever new fascination I'm currently pursuing
