I found a show that could work in Metro universe

Not sure if this is allowed, as there is no "other franchise" tag. But I feel this is worth sharing it here, in case you never heard of it.

Show name is "Silo". At first glance, it should feel very much like Fallout universe. But I had some unexplained confidence that it would not, and it turned out true.

It is dark, no comedy about it, it's gritty. Social dynamics and each characters' motivation feel very well done. There are no caricature villians and heroes are toned down - everybody has realistic agenda, as they try to survive with their families. There are overarching motives like people fearing invisible watchers [this is barely a spoiler, treat it as omen for the vibe]. There is a lot of mechanical and economy feeling to how the silo functions. True, it's more "cleanly" organized than a metro station would be, but I can see it working as a substitute for Polis, or entirety of Hanza, or if D6 was inhabited by a lot of people.

Am I making too far a stretch? I don't know, but you tell me.

Ligma saddle, ha!

Tl:dr: yes I bought it for the meme.

My usual Italian saddle is a bit worn after years of use, but I wasn't ready to replace it just yet. So I got this one, that is very similar in dimensions and profile, but is both flatter and meatier. For five bucks and lolz. I don't expect it to last, but first trip, 50 kilometers without padded shorts - and most of the time it was surprisingly comfortable. Not all the time, but still it beats my old saddle. If it doesn't completly fall apart this season, I might be just swapping for a new one every season.
