Nah, I don't know man, My Gravity Falls/Warhammer 40k crossover fan fiction is better than Pride and Prejudice and A Tale of Two Cities combined.
I know this was from almost a month ago and I missed this in my last post in this thread, but...I actually could
see a Gravity Falls/WH40K crossover working purely because Bill Cipher is a textbook chaos god canidate and Gravity Falls having gone seriously WTF in the "this is a
kids show?!" content department that is borderline minimum WH40K grimderpness.
It might if they don't reference anything related to FoE. Still doesn't excuse the fact they slipped an MLP reference that bronies could no doubt sperg over.
On a bright side for those that despise the horse autism, it wouldn't have said horse autism bronies love. On that same note, it could be on a different engine that could be leagues better in terms of stability.
In all fairness to Fallout 4, doing nothing more than slipping in a few references in what is nothing more than set dressing is how a reference
should be done. While I have not played Fallout 4, I'm certain you do not need to access those messages in that computer at all to understand the major game plot, and even if you do read them and don't know an iota about what it could be referencing, they're written such that they still provide in-universe fluff you would expect to find left lying around after a nuclear apocalypse. The key detail about all this, basically:
it's not shoving the reference in your face as part of actual gameplay. For an example of how
not to do references, there's...well, basically
everything from Duke Nukem Forever, but namely the forced bit where Duke disses the idea of needing power armor and the camera is focused on what is clearly supposed to be Master Chief's original helmet.
