What the gently caress, I scrolled like 20 replies down and literally nobody mentioned that the Pringles Guy is Nebula Award winning recently deceased author Gene Wolfe

...well, it technically isn't actually him, because:

Wikipedia posted:

The Pringles logo is a stylized cartoon caricature of the head of a male figure (officially known as "Julius Pringles"[35]) designed by Louis R. Dixon, with a large mustache and parted bangs (until 2001, the character had eyebrows and his bow tie framed the product name; in 1998, the bangs and lips were removed from the logo, and his head was widened a little).
but that gentleman likely knew Gene because he invented part of the Pringles production process and look at the picture of Gene and so on

did Wasteland 3 fix the Wasteland 2 issue (common to a lot of the older CRPGs) where there were like eleven jillion identical skills and you just couldn't know how to cover them, plus Toaster Repair which was just "lockpick, but gimmicky"

Toaster Repair was in the original Wasteland too though, so I kind of hope they kept it in there.

I think the only place you could train in it was at the guardian citadel though
Yeah, it was a good callback, they just... like, in the original it was a goofy fun thing, in 2 the toasters just had loot that could have been in safes and vice versa so it was just "here's another lockpick skill good luck fuckers" (also good to hear W3 pulled back on that, I will likely pick it up at some point)
