Fallout 4 mod commissioned by American Krogan - Grounded Commonwealth.

You don't generally (I say generally because there probably is some weirdo that made a mod which makes every character a trans black enby or something) see something so meticuluous from the other side though.

There is another example, there's an edit of The Last Jedi and Avengers Endgame called the chauvinist cuts where the guy removed all women from the movie except for some cases like Leia, the edits made the round on kotaku and the like a few years ago. The Endgame edit also has director's commentary and the editor talks about the invisible diversity where it's a small detail here and there in the background, like having a gay couple. Even if it bears nothing to the story or the design, someone did decide that that background couple should be gay, they went out of their way to make them gay. We don't see that side because we only get presented with a finished product from a company, meanwhile those mods or fan-edits are usually announced in advance and have a preset agenda where they want to "fix" something, but the finished product also wanted to "fix" the lack of diversity in the first place.

To reiterate he completely retcons the Fallout lore in order to do this [...] So many different games he could've done this in where it would actually make sense and he picked Fallout 4. It just comes off as petty.

He did have some points about the nukes hitting downtown so given Boston's demographics of city vs suburb, most blacks would have died initially. And during the later centuries, they would all have mixed into the majority white population. But I'm not too familiar with Fallout lore so I'll concede on that.

Any of his arguments make no sense because it operates from the perspective that America in Fallout is still a racially conscious nation. Outside of some statements in pre-war notes regarding Chinese people there's zero evidence of America even putting any sort of effort into segregation or racial discrimination, and that's primarily done because the Chinese are Communists. I don't think it's necessarily something even highlighted in the lore, but I believe the prevailing argument is that post WW2 rather than continuing segregation for 20 years it ended as the country pushed to address the threat of communisim. It's also a major copout as the bombs fall in 2077. He's operating under a belief that America would still experience gentrification to the point where Boston being hit by a bomb would result in 0 black people existing in Boston 200 years later... 110 years after the civil rights movement. His points require every social issue in America circa 1960 to be frozen for 110 years which is more unbelievable than a WOMAN or a NEGRO in STEM.

Does anyone know what's happening with the guy nowadays? Is he retired-retired or does he at least post articles here and there? I know the videos took a Godawful amount of effort, so I'm not all that surprised he stopped doing them (especially given the YouTube ban), but is he now a hermit? No streams with anyone or anything similar?

I think that's a key misunderstanding, the Fallout games are set centuries after the bomb, but in a realistic setting or even Fallout 1 or 2, the bombs acted as a sort of reset. From Fallout 1, the culture of the day had changed drastically from pre-war. As you said, the bombs fell in 2077, so the Americana idealism of the 50's or 60's could very well endure for a few decades given a hardened Cold War. Even in real life, the 90's and early 2000's were still fairly racist. Obviously not KKK, but everyday stuff like "hold your purse tight" or "that kind moved next door".
I don't think the Fallout world would be of that style, Fallout 1 and 2 showed that the world had changed drastically. But the point of the mod is that some demographics would have been wipped out by the bombs, or later absorbed through intermarriage. Krogan's mod isn't about making the world of Fallout 50's americana, it's that given the retrofuturisc culture of the setting, the demographics would not be the same as today.

Full retirement, sadly. There's a few partial mirrors on Odyssey.

Total archive is like 50 GB, what's the policy here? I know Null hates when you post full images instead of thumnails, so are full videos allowed?

I thought you specifically meant the battlefield video. I would only upload the archive, if you have it in a shareable form.

Also, preemptive thanks for archiving it all.

Here's the archive, stuff from 2018 isn't well date, but from his ban on youtube onwards everything is dated.

Also, if you liked his Battlefield video, you'll probably enjoy his CoD, Bioshock, TLoU and Mass Effect stuff. It's a shame all his better work is from after his ban.
