Who coined “NASApunk”? I need to know so I can shout at them until I’m blue in the face it’s so stupid.
I’m tired of people just abusing language and just smashing words they don’t understand together to make a shorter words that are even more incomprehensible.
When people use “punk” in this way they prove they only understand it as an aesthetic and not it’s ideology whatsoever.
Or fuck it maybe I’ll just give in. Everyone knows there is nothing more punk than a literal government agency.
When people say that it's also an excuse for it to get less informative and more deceptive sometimes.
If NASApunk was actually like 1960s retro-futurist with a hard realism aesthetic, sort of like what Alien did with it's space truckers aesthetic, that'd at least be something. This is just nothing. Everything is incredibly sterile. There's nothing about it that defines a product, that tells a story, that says anything. I hated how Beth's Fallout leaned hard in to the 1950s aesthetic despite that not really being a thing in Interplay's Fallout games, but at least it's a look. TES is full of distinctive elements that set it apart from other fantasy worlds. This has nothing.
