CW IRL self-harm, not sharing a link or images in the “spoiler,” just a very general description. Feel free to delete if a mod, or just reply with “please remove” and I will delete it myself.
Not a “favorite” (due to being self-harm) but really fucked-up one that involved fans recreating a very morbid “scene” that mimics something a player could come across in Fallout New Vegas (or any of the games). Seems like a creepypasta, but 100% true. Again, CW for self-harm.

Two men committed suicide, but they apparently really liked the Fallout games. They dressed-up like characters (I don’t believe any specific named ones) from the game I believe one had a Vault-Tec coveralls and the other was either a generic wastelander or a raider, and left a note (with a small bag of a few shotgun shells and bottle caps like you might pickup) that read kind of like ones you might find in a spot where people got hit by raiders. Text of the note: “The raiders overtook Sanctuary. Food stores running low. Only have 6 caps left and a bit of ammo. I think I hear something in the distance.”
I am also kind of losing steam on season two, but only like two eps in. I think that in my case the issue is kind of the frustration of the time jumps and that it keeps going like two steps forward and like one or one and a half backwards. Though I guess they want to create the feeling, so I guess it is working. Same thing happens with other shows that do similar (or in other cases seem to try so hard to not reach a real point until like the last ep or two). I enjoy when they can land it, but I tend to kind of hate whole seasons until “the big reveal” or whatever is able to make it worthwhile.
When I watched the first season of Severance, I had just finished Pantheon and liked that it chose to end after two seasons. So after the first season of Severance, I was hoping that it would not try to run more than two or three. It is wild how much they can make these modern shows pack basically the slowness of older 25 ep seasons of older shows.
Kind of the same annoyance happens when I find what seems to be a long-form YouTube doc/deep-dive. But realize that it is all AI and keeps somehow constantly repeating the same information in a circular form instead of more information (gotten real good at picking up on that shit). Or like supper click-bait “articles” that have multiple “next page” bits at the end of each page. Just always circle with “but that is when the crucial and amazing blah blah” with like a few sentences that “advance” the topic (and of course the page is just loaded with ads).
