It could be June, but I’m not going to get rid of my goofy skeletons and creepy smoke machine Fallout 76, Thank you very much.
Back in October last year I got inside Fallout 76. Then other games took over my free time and I stopped playing Fallout 76 around the beginning of November. Well I recently returned to the game and found my warehouse full of Halloween decorations from the last time I played. But I don’t take it down. You can not force me!
I love halloween. It’s my favorite vacation of the year by such a large margin that it’s nowhere near that. I would love to have two Halloween celebrations every year if people would agree. But like all good things, October, also known as Spooky Month, is coming to an end, and with it all of the great things Halloween events in various online games. But not in my wasteland cabin. Here in my part of the contaminated West Virginia hills, Halloween never ends.
You could say it’s cheesy to hold up decorations from past holidays, and normally I’d agree with you. I often grumbled and shook my head about houses that still had Christmas lights in February. But that’s not the real world. This is a post-nuclear wasteland of death, mutants, and war. Since this is the case, I have no problem with people including myself keeping the Christmas decorations when they are happy with it. And to be clear: my silly Halloween decorations make me very, very happy.

There is also a practical element here. Removing these decorations would take time. Instead of wasting my time killing pumpkins and fake bats, I could kill a few super mutants or try to find some damn ballistic fibers.
Also, if I quit playing for a few months now and come back to the game later in the year, it will practically be Halloween and I won’t be the pumpkin spinner in April. Instead I’ll be the guy who really, really, REALLY prepared for the creepy season.
