I see posts like this a lot - comparing real life to a video game. As someone that has never played a video game (except Mario cart when I was a child), can someone explain the significance of this? Why is it meaningful to people? At least, meaningful enough to write a post about it, and have others say the same.

I thought that the picture looks uncanny as it looks almost identical to the landscape inside Fallout 4. One of the Fallout series' theme is about the destruction of the environment and what we are experiencing is similar.

It's kind of like how others view art. The power of art is how it reflects back to us our reality. Though this is a more literal interpretation.

I think such comparisons help people to relate the experience to one another, since some haven’t experienced fires.
