Point is there will always be a way to access them when we don't live in a 1984-like military surveillance state, instead its a matter of how easily accessible they are.

Even though the latter may take more labor, it's far cheaper to do, which should factor into its ease of use. Not every bomb needs to be a wired clock circuit with C4, there are way simpler ways to go about it.
As for existing owners of them, some grandfathering clause may be a decent enough solution. Or maybe just keeping them contained within shooting ranges (to keep/use only in registered locations) like some countries do will all firearms.

If bombs could be purchased at Wall-Mart I'm sure there would be more bombings, same goes for bump-stocks and events like Vegas.
I respect your volition to keep using yours, as you seem like a respectful and sane human, but sadly not everyone shares the same grasp on reality.

If you don't have a perfectly-tuned $1k bike and matching riding shirts, gloves, and helmet, then you're treated like newbie trash.
The gender disparity this article mentions most likely exists in all similar hobbies, but the added judgmental culture of biking just adds to the "attitude".

I'd go with the latter of your options. It's comparing apples and oranges to an extent. BUT probably for the first time in gaming history, someone enjoying a franchise's mobile spinoff more than the accompanying AAA release is within the realm of rational possibility.
Comparing the impact each made in their respective field, FO4 didn't add anything new to the RPG genre (unlike FO3 & NV) while FOShelter actually stood out as a free, polished mobile game without gameplay-breaking timer delays and required microtransactions. It came out in a time where every single significant base-building app was a pain to play without buying your way through timers. I played it for many hours without ever having the need to pay for in-app purchases.

Comment on Personal vs. private property in Marxism in ~humanities

When I say "not Marxist" I'm just saying sole ownership of a business doesn't at all resemble the term Marxism as an economic concept. I was in a rush and didn't have time to flesh it out originally.
In a marxist society, ideally, the farm would be owned by the community as a whole, and the tools used by the farmers would be their own personal property. If it's socialist, there would be no profiteering and the surplus would be managed by the workers as a whole. If communist, there's no currency involved to begin with, so the surplus would likely be donated or traded for other things useful to all the workers.

If you, and not the community/workers as a whole, have the definite ownership/say in what happens on the farm, that is private property and not Marxist, even if you give all earnings to the workers below you.

Plus the story still holds up well today.
FNV had many many possible endings, and unlike FO4, they resulted in vastly different outcomes. Add on a massive environment and way more factions, and it's probably the most fleshed-out game in the franchise. Charts have been made comparing the FO4 quest list to NV/Skyrim and it is measly compared to those older releases. 4's quests are comparatively repetitive and don't provide nearly as much choice, consequences, or lore.
Most large-scale fallout mods in development right now are focused on expanding FNV. Either story add-ons, or porting the game to FO4's engine and gun mechanics which (like they other guy said) is the only thing 4 has going for it. I haven't heard of massive FO4 mods in development, though I haven't been actively looking.
When comparing the releases without context, FO4 naturally has better graphics and mechanics. But that's about it. Compare FO4 to The Witcher 3, which came out around the same time (~2015) but had an immensely more intricate storyline and interactions with quests. One got universal GOTY, the other lost 90% of its playerbase in a month, with a multitude of more players in Skyrim 5 years after release.

And the entire reason people are harassing him is because he himself yells at scapegoats on live television and spreads extremely harmful propaganda. If he spent his time doing literally anything else, he wouldn't be harassed. He should take it as a social cue as to what he's doing to impressionable minds.

Ex: most of carlson's rants on liberal scapegoats, the pastor at my old college campus who yelled at strangers saying they were doomed to an eternity in hell. The line is drawn (at least in the US) when you threaten real, physical violence and/or slander people with things that aren't true. Telling a shitty tv host "fuck you" does neither of those, and the morality of it isn't a legal matter whatsoever. If someone walked up to him at a restaurant and threatened to harm his and/or his family, that would be a different story.
Rudimentary bomb building is tremendously cheaper than buying a 3D printer and filament supplies. That's what I mean by easier. Slightly more labor may go into it, but overall the upfront cost can be far lower.
Regulations you mention still make it less easy to access one, just like demolition teams get regulated access to explosives. Which is exactly what I'm saying. So we're in agreement there.
