The Fallout timeline diverges from ours after ww2 but that means the baby boom still happened

Somewhere around the 90's since the P90 exists.

What a shame we never annexed Canada. Instead of seeing it as an opportunity to merge into a stronger union, the leafniggers saw it as primal chest thumping.

The most recent thing from our timeline to be in one of the games is actually from 2008

1997 is a good head-canon, the timeline split with the release of Fallout

Gen X warned the world about the most wicked g-g-g-generation that has ever existed.

may the boomers face the day of the pillow with as much dignity they've showed the world.

>good fucking times
What I really enjoy about the fallout games is that while most apocalypse stories at least provide the catharsis of getting to escape the modern horrors of globohomo, ( and that escapism is good and enjoyable don't get me wrong) in fallout, globohomo survives the apocalypse in the form of the Enclave, Vault-Tec Vaults and other corporate technologies, the NCR, etc and so you still have to put up with busybody kryptokike oligarchs and technocrats trying to run the world in addition to all of the post-apocalyptic horrors. There's no escaping it, it's like the damage globohomo has done to humanity is so profound and permanent that there's just no getting away from it. I like escapism as much as the next guy, but I also like when a piece of media subverts your desire to escape.

>corporate urban hellholes

it's not even corporate urban hellholes, that would be cyberpunk cities like in china, south korea and japan, and cyberpunk 2077. they don't even try to maximize profit anymore, they are just rent seeking and hoarding.

Fallout television show was soft disclosure. We're going to fight chinks over Alaska. Probably not with power armor though
