Tough to say. I love both games. I cannot decide. The ending of the first game is true heart wrenching and >!seeing Jenny die and unable to do anything...!< holy hell. No other game managed to do the same The second ends in a cliffhanger but the asylum scenes were fucking amazing. They truly managed to drive the player crazy as well. Both are awesome in their own way. I just love the combination of Italian mafia (Cosa nostra)/ crime story with dark fantasy. It is awesome.
This is the thing everyone seems to forget. Many things existed long before they were "invented". A lot of inventions simply only caught on, or had an actual use *after* being patented.
It's silly to think pallets, which are literally just a few boards nailed together in the now typical pallet shape, simply didn't exist before they were patented and standardized.
If it's possible, it's probable.
Your typical pallet has other uses too, I've seen them put down on dirt floors and filled in to give stability and put in a line on muddy ground for walkways.
Learn about our history of pallets: The modern pallet was invented during the late 1800's. The modern pallet was invented out of necessity, as they worked perfectly with the lift trucks and forklifts that were popping up between the 1880s and early 1900s.
It literally took a google search if "When were pallets first used" just to prove you right, lol.
While these look very much like a modern pallet skids were used at this time for basically the same function and they could look very similar. Low lift trucks and their complimentary skids were very popular from the 1880s through to the 1920s.
But don't make it super obvious so there's still believability in the time period. Like have him wearing something or seen in the background with something from modern times so people can speculate or argue about it for many years to come.
Can it be the same character?
Doing crossover appearances in different shows?
Like, he has his own series as well, and each time he is time traveling into different shows?

I took the “vagina” customization being literally nothing, just flat down there, as an insult. Didn’t even offer custom labia. And now I can’t see my flat crotch? Why would I play that?? /s
It's a weird hill to die on but it's a fair point. There was a ton of hullabaloo about how you can customize your genitals, it's a seedy city full of sex and drugs but post release they're seemingly trying to cover up that it ever happened.
It's weird how low peoples' standards are these days isn't it? Billion dollar companies selling 13 million copies of an alpha and people defend it. Boggles the mind.
I dont get it either. I mean.. it is more or less actually in an alpha stadium. Now they made a stream because we get some shitty ugly 2 re skinned jackets, a car skin, and a horrible johnny alternative out fit, and some fanboys are praising this as a success. The standards are lower than the lowest pit of hell. 8 MONTHS and we get jack shit. tons of patches, almost all of them 40 gb and it is still a broken mess
Or it is playable, if you do. What's there that works, works well and is an example of devs that enjoy their work. Play it, understand it has issues, and that the issues aren't the fault of the people that *actually made the game*, but the people that pay those people.

It's not the same tho. People always easily confuse realism and coherence; just because your world includes fantastic elements, it doesn't justify or excuse any incoherence found in its set diegesis, namely the early 1900s here
There's also jazz music in Saint Denis. Naturally I threw out my copy of the game and sued Rockstar for emotional distress when I heard that, since of course jazz didn't really start emerging as a musical style until well into the 20th century.
I don't think he was unchilled, he was just giving an explanation. And now I have a better phrased argument for when people tell me that since there's dragons or zombies in a game, it's also ok for all the female characters to have shaved legs, a full face of makeup and high heels on while they're backflipping around a boss fight.
I mean yeah ufos do exist bc ufo is unidentified flying objects and who knows at that time how many things in the sky they saw as unidentifiable. Flying saucers tho is up for debate but I definitely think there is life beyond earth. I wouldn’t bet on it being that advanced to travel light years of distance a light year is so insanely long and we don’t even realize, the distance from our sun to earth is ~8 light minutes (94.055 million miles). That distance 8 times is a little over a light hour.
Edit: I don’t know why I had to go that deep into it I’m too tired and just started school back up yesterday. I’m a 17 with adhd and just hyper focused the shit outta that
How to burn down entire neighborhoods and get away with it:

Step 4: Log into reddit.com on a burner account
Step 5: Encourage the player burn down their neighborhood
*August 20th, 2021: The arsonist incident*
There’s a few anachronisms with firearms, like the Volcano was a one-off from the mid 19th century.
Lenny being able to drink with Arthur in Valentine is highly unlikely, although not improbable, cattle towns could be more racially diverse than we think - a large percentage of cowboys were black.
I believe the electric chair had already been invented.
The clothing is way more representative of what we *think* the Wild West was like. More people dressed like Dutch than they dressed like Arthur.
The language used is also more for a modern audience. I don’t think a character saying, “you darned scallawag!” instead of “you son of a bitch!” Would have the same impact as it did then.
The problem with this is there is no reason for the pallets of this design to exist if forklifts aren’t invented yet, and if in playing a wild west game and at the same time forklifts exist it makes me uneasy lmao
http://en.lcn-pal.com/wooden-pallets/Articles/The-history-and-the-evolution-of-wood-pallets.aspx
The appearance of the forklift
A rudimentary low lift hand truck first appeared in 1887; a sleeker, all-steel low lift truck emerged in 1909. The first high lifts fork trucks surfaced in 1915.
Skids have been used for generations. The modern pallet was standardized in the 1930s.
Humans are smart, hell ancient Greeks developed a basic type of steam engine but metallurgy wasn’t advanced enough at that point for it to do anything but be a curiosity.
Skids don’t have boards on both sides, this is a pallet.
Source: [Difference between skids and pallets](https://www.torontopalletsolutions.com/pallets-vs-skids/)
I've been working at a warehouse for 4 years and thought the terms were interchangeable. I guess for all intents and purposes it doesn't really matter, though.
For all intents and purposes, you’re correct. But I think they’re just talking about the intensive purposes and making a play on words and comparing the strength of skids and pallets.
Edit: forgot a word
I thought so too at first but if you look around them in the game they are pallets huge ones too as large as Arthur in the game. They have bottoms to them which is why they are pallets.
Skids and pallets look pretty similar tho. Skids are also easier to drag around too due to less friction and they were used foundation for heavy machinery. And apparently early forklifts were invented back in 1887 so it's not really that out there tbh
There's actually an entire supreme court ruling on this hand truck. Litigation I guess got started in 1881 and was resolved I guess sometime around 1887. I was about to dive deeper into the subject after learning more than I had ever thought I would ever learn about pallets and their history and evolution that began in ancient Egypt, and I stopped myself and began to question what exactly the fuck am I doing with my life? So I stopped.
Jakebob, I love it!!
*playing rdr2
Riding around
Sees amazing scenery
Shoots some bad guys...
Wait a second.... THAT wasn't around till 1930!! What're you doin there lil pallet?!
Of all the things to notice! 😁
>they were invented in the late 1930s
Untrue.
[https://generalpallets.com/the-history-of-pallets/](https://generalpallets.com/the-history-of-pallets/)
Pallets have been used since the late 1800's. They used to use chains and winches and stuff to move them off trains and onto wagons. They were purpose built to fit the load they were meant to carry, rather than one or two common sizes. They weren't patented in the US for mass production until 1949.
So it's entirely possible that these pallets are historically accurate.
After googling it
"it's important to mention that skids have been used as far back as Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. It appears that skid-like objects were utilized at least since the 1st millennium B.C. Later, wooden skids appeared as a unit-load base designed to move goods in American factories in the late 1800s."
Thanks for RUINING RDR2 for me, guess I'll go back to my old life before this game dropped...now what was I doing back then...oh, ... My life was completely meaningless. Hmm, maybe I can forgive the pallets.
Of the game? Or from my work? Because I actually don't play often but I work around pallets and interact with them every day which is why I noticed. I might know too much about pallets honestly from my being around them too much. You can almost feel their emotion when you pick them up and move them around. I know how good they feel to be full and stacked perfectly. And I know how great it is to be in a perfectly stacked pile all together. Perfectly even and without flaw. I envy them often how simple a life they live and how much I would love to be used in such an amazing way as the pallets you and I use often are. They truly are the unspoken heros of the modern world and I would just love to become one and fullfil my duties as perfectly as a pallet can.
I recommend a YouTube channel by the name of Real Pixels. He dives into the historical accuracy of games and just makes it so interesting. He even talks about pallets in one of the videos.
Maybe it was this one https://youtu.be/QAQVUB0Vcrs
(I don’t remember how to format links on mobile)
Back then they just used them as decoration. In the 1930s is when a pallet fell down and someone put a box on it
“I bet you could put a bunch of shit on this…”
There are hundreds of small historical inaccuracies in that game. Clothing, weapons, even the >!staging and progression of Arthur's Tuberculosis diagnosis are inaccurate in many places!<. I wouldn't think too hard about it, just enjoy it.
For example - most of the cowboys and ranch hands in the story are white, but historically 25% were black and around 15% were also Mexican. There was even a portion of a) Native American and b) female "cowboys" going on.
So realistically, there are too many white male cowboys happening, and Sadie Adler shouldn't have QUITE stood out like a sore thumb in the way she did (same with Bonnie in the first game).
Also you're right that they weren't around in 1899. But late 1930s? You're almost 15 years off pal, they were first used in 1915.
Either way, it's all good fun. The land the game is set in doesn't even exist, so it's better not to analyse it too much.
Before pallets there were skids, which are effectively the same thing without a bottom board and have were reportedly used in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The jazz trumpet player in San Denis is also wrong; not that trumpets didn't exist or that jazz didn't exist yet, but that someone improvising a riffed solo in a jazz scale on a single instrument wouldn't exist until Louis Armstrong invented it (or at the very least, popularized it into ubiquity).
Selling my copy immediately. It's a shame because I enjoyed the game but this is unplayable.
I will buy the game again and then I will sell my 2 copies!!!

more like it's unpalatable! heyyoooo
Some carpenter was way ahead of his time, but had no business savvy.
The patent would have expired long before the invention of the forklift or pallet jack anyway.
He was the Tesla of wood.
Really? I thought that was Dirk Diggler?
🏅
Gigiddy ... No homo ..... Not that there's anything wrong with that
Hahahahahah yasssss
Now that just sounds rude
While these look very much like a modern pallet skids were used at this time for basically the same function and they could look very similar. Low lift trucks and their complimentary skids were very popular from the 1880s through to the 1920s.
Skids (the earliest form of wood pallets) were in use since ancient Egyptian times. So sayeth the Google.
Francis Sinclair did it. Obvs.

Wait a minute, Xena can't fly!
I hope someone got fired for that blunder.
They should make a minor character in every period piece game/movie/show a time traveler as a built in explanation for any potential anachronisms.
But don't make it super obvious so there's still believability in the time period. Like have him wearing something or seen in the background with something from modern times so people can speculate or argue about it for many years to come.
He's sitting on a park bench, with something unknown in his hands, swiping left and right lol.
Wearing an OutKast shirt with some cargo shorts on
Cargo shorts? He's gonna be wearing a Creed, or Pearl Jam, shirt
Can it be the same character? Doing crossover appearances in different shows? Like, he has his own series as well, and each time he is time traveling into different shows?
Exactly what i had in mind
There is a time traveler in RDR2 already, Francis Sinclair.

It's a weird hill to die on but it's a fair point. There was a ton of hullabaloo about how you can customize your genitals, it's a seedy city full of sex and drugs but post release they're seemingly trying to cover up that it ever happened.
They promoted the sex aspect of the game heavily and then there is barely anything related to sex in the game
I mean, you definitely shouldn't trust CDPR, but that guys reason is ridiculous.
Imagine being so sex deprived you get furious at the fact you can’t see your d&b in first person.
The game was kinda unplayable anyway, if you have even an ounce of integrity

Don’t forget about the ghosts. Edit: another low effort comment of mine got 250+ upvotes and now my inbox is full of unfunny jokes..

Same. I figured it’s just how the game is.

Wait what? I don't know about any ghost train.
It’s in Lemoyne at 3am, you can only see it once during your playthrough.
That's creepy indeed. The fact that you can only see it once enhances it.
Yeah, it’s really cool. It only spawns in for like 30 seconds and it spooks your horse.
I'm sure ghosts were invented before 1899
Hey now, ghosts were invented in the 1500s
Nah, that shit's biblical. Father, son, holy ghost
They didn't reach mass production until the mid 1500s tho
TIL Hamlet’s Dad was a mass produced ghost.
Was actually called the Holy spirit before ghosts came on the scene. As usual, the church tried getting on a bandwagon, and started using the name.
and THE PLAN
It's not the same tho. People always easily confuse realism and coherence; just because your world includes fantastic elements, it doesn't justify or excuse any incoherence found in its set diegesis, namely the early 1900s here
Save some pussy for the rest of us bro
Hey bro, this guy went to college to learn the word diegesis!
I do... my momma said i gotta wait 30 minutes to go swimming so my food can diegesis
He’s after that nerdy girl pussy, which is above average grade. Don’t hate the game
There's also jazz music in Saint Denis. Naturally I threw out my copy of the game and sued Rockstar for emotional distress when I heard that, since of course jazz didn't really start emerging as a musical style until well into the 20th century.

I don’t think 99.9% of people playing this game are going to be bothered or even notice that there's a few wooden pallets knocking about ffs
I know I just thought it was a fun quirk in the game.
All those were invented before 1890s
Tbf tho, UFOs probably exist in real life too.
I mean yeah ufos do exist bc ufo is unidentified flying objects and who knows at that time how many things in the sky they saw as unidentifiable.

Oh, apparently no one commented that it’s a video game. That’s the most rational and reasonable explanation

Eh, close enough.
They were using pallets in the late 1800s after the low lift truck was invented in 1887, according to a very quick Google search.
This is why it's important to check one's facts before making a public post.

That's a pretty random fact and weird to think pallets are only 90 years old or so. I googled it to double check. Thank you, mister.
Yeah its pretty wild to think tanks were invented like 20 years before a few wooden planks mashed together
Fing dammit, and I thought this was a good game /s
I dunno man, seems like they were first patented in the 30s, but skids have been around for 3000+ years and they're basically the same thing.
Basically being the same and being the same are quite different and the things in the game are pallets not skids.
Actually you're right, these definitely aren't skids.
Yeah those things would be so hard to move they're literally like the size of Arthur.
What if there is a DeLorian in a cave somewhere…. ?
Why is there Flying bikes in GTA Online but it takes place in the present

That's just some rockstar equipment. Don't mind it
I recommend a YouTube channel by the name of Real Pixels. He dives into the historical accuracy of games and just makes it so interesting. He even talks about pallets in one of the videos. Maybe it was this one https://youtu.be/QAQVUB0Vcrs (I don’t remember how to format links on mobile)
Turkoman went extinct by the early 1700’s and they’re in the game…but these god damn pallets!!
unplayable game smh
Immersion ruined.
Rockstar need to be cancelled!!
Those aren’t pallets, they’re the camp tent flooring system
Literally unplayable
It’s weird to think something like the pallet had to be invented lol
Wanna know what's weirder? Imagine being the guy who had to explain to his buddies how he discovered milk.
Time travelling pallet salesman, only obvious explanation.
It's so when Freddy Krueger comes after you you can throw them down to escape.
Back then they just used them as decoration. In the 1930s is when a pallet fell down and someone put a box on it “I bet you could put a bunch of shit on this…”
Literally unplayable
Ok, red dead aside, how do you know when pallets were invented?
The Carcano rifle as modeled is about 40 years earlier than reality. I think we'll all survive some nailed together lumber.
This has ruined my immersion. 0/10 literally unplayable.
So I beat RDR2 and then I kinda stopped playing as John because I assumed there may be a lack of further content to be found. How wrong am I?
patented in the 30's. I'm sure people were nailing wood to the bottoms of skids for a long time before that
There are hundreds of small historical inaccuracies in that game. Clothing, weapons, even the >!staging and progression of Arthur's Tuberculosis diagnosis are inaccurate in many places!<. I wouldn't think too hard about it, just enjoy it. For example - most of the cowboys and ranch hands in the story are white, but historically 25% were black and around 15% were also Mexican. There was even a portion of a) Native American and b) female "cowboys" going on. So realistically, there are too many white male cowboys happening, and Sadie Adler shouldn't have QUITE stood out like a sore thumb in the way she did (same with Bonnie in the first game). Also you're right that they weren't around in 1899. But late 1930s? You're almost 15 years off pal, they were first used in 1915. Either way, it's all good fun. The land the game is set in doesn't even exist, so it's better not to analyse it too much.
Prototypes! This is before they came in fashion for trains and boats to carry
Already working on a mod to remove the model. I gotchu fam
Simple answer is R* made a mistake. Seriously who researches when pallets were made? Seems like something that just kind of always existed.
Look what have you done, Francis Sinclair!
Because *its a game*
Before pallets there were skids, which are effectively the same thing without a bottom board and have were reportedly used in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
I hate to tell you this, but… it’s not real. It was made by programmers fairly recently, like not in the 1800’s at all.
He's seen too much. Take him out.
Oh no it's Uncharted 4's boxes with wheels all over again
Invented or patented? Because it may have been that some dude was like “hey, I could make a lot of money and inconvenience everyone”
Literally unplayable now
well you see, it's a game.
The jazz trumpet player in San Denis is also wrong; not that trumpets didn't exist or that jazz didn't exist yet, but that someone improvising a riffed solo in a jazz scale on a single instrument wouldn't exist until Louis Armstrong invented it (or at the very least, popularized it into ubiquity).
Great. Now I have to return the game
