That "Mission Accomplished" banner still pisses me off.

Thanks for sharing OP, I hadn't seen the original concept art of Fallout Shelter before.

I recognize the Plato shadows on a wall ref and someone commented about Sisyphus. Obviously, Saddam was in a hole. What's the rest? Looks like pick-axe people are part of a 2d video game. I don't get anything other than what I've described.

The pick-axe is a "motivational" meme about don't giving up, because the diamonds could be just around.

The caption is a reference to "The myth of sisyphus" by Albert Camus. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Good book.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 6 months ago

That one is a pretty deep reference.

if the books is any good is the title just clickbait?
