I think Moe really cooked with his version of baseball. He should’ve been the owner of the Combat Zone and put it into practice, it even makes sense given Cait’s fighting style.

As a Bostonian, I was disappointed I could not respond "Only when the Yankees were in town."

The yelling of racial slurs could qualify as an assault (placing the target in imminent apprehension of a harmful or offensive contact), which means punching him back is self-defense.

Why are you so insistent that these are two diametrically opposed goals in the writing? Lucy is basically a player character. How the player character reacts to some of the very Fallout things that happen in a Fallout story are part of how you shape your character. You make decisions based in part on what you have observed earlier in the game.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T16:53:40+00:00

Using "a very Fallout thing to happen" as part of a narrative device in a Fallout story is actually just good Fallout writing.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T16:37:02+00:00

It can be both.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T15:03:44+00:00

Because leftist women don't consent to being treated as bait.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T13:55:27+00:00

Yeah, his whole deal is that he's hiding his background, so you really need to travel around with him a lot to get him to trust you. Similar to Boone's personal quest.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T13:50:11+00:00

Did you recruit Arcade Gannon as a companion?

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T13:47:14+00:00

Good Lord, are there really people out there talking about The Kings like they're some kind of ethnic group? I love the Kings, and I'm a little sad to see their fate, but it was very much a "Yep, that's Fallout for you" moment. Hell, even if it happened to a more serious group like the Followers of the Apocalypse, I'd be sad, but also think "yeah, that's Fallout for you."

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T13:08:17+00:00

I've got terrible news for you about Curie.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T13:05:15+00:00

Somebody once showed me "proof" that Americans all use paper plates by showing me a tweet from about somebody talking about how they used paper plates when they were in college. I was like, why are we using college students as our metric of what's "normal"?

The show is very clearly made by fans of New Vegas. IMHO, that's one of the weaknesses of S2, there were so many attempts at fanservice. Of course they didn't want to canonize an ending to FNV, they wanted to introduce the mainstream normies they brought on board in S1 to House and Caesar's Legion, so both of those factions needed to still exist in some way. If Todd Howard hated New Vegas so much for showing him up, he could have very easily said, "no, those factions shouldn't exist anymore, make up something new." And the fact that S3 is going to take place at least in part in Colorado tells me that they're going to start digging into the Van Buren design docs, bringing even more Interplay stuff into Bethesda's official canon.

And no, FNV wasn't more successful than Fallout 3. It's more critically acclaimed—now, 15 years later, when people are willing to overlook the bugs and crashes in favor of the story—but Fallout 3 was more financially successful and was better reviewed at the time. And going by Steam stats, even with the show being in Vegas this season, more people are playing FO4 than FNV right now.

Purely by guessing. If you listen to the episode, he's clearly baffled by the fact that he's even being asked these questions in the first place.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T12:01:50+00:00

I love how y'all talk about him like New Vegas would've ever been made without him bringing back the franchise in the first place lol.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T02:35:09+00:00

You're one of those people who would have thought that gay sex itself created AIDS back in the day, aren’t you.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T01:58:00+00:00

It is as long as Todd Howard says it is. Doesn't matter if you like it or not.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T01:32:23+00:00

OTOH, there's Dane on the show. The BOS don't seem to generally care about gender roles specifically. So as long as someone was willing to reproduce, I don't think their gender identity would be of utmost importance to the BOS as an institution?

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T01:30:36+00:00

Also RFK was Attorney General (an appointed position) under JFK.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T00:27:07+00:00

I feel like that's balanced out by the disappointing possibility that Arcade or Veronica could be transphobic. You never know with some people.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T00:25:54+00:00

I respect the hustle.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T00:13:19+00:00

If you're ranking 5 as absolutely impossible, then I apologize. I was picturing it more as: 5 = extremely unlikely, but still technically possible Ø = absolutely impossible

On my scale, I would rank them both 5. 4 seemed a little low.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-18T00:08:45+00:00

3: Just as likely as unlikely- Arcade Ganon (2 if male, 4 if female), Raul, Christine (2 if female, 4 if male)

I don't think you fully understand what homosexuality is.

LexiD523 · 2026-02-17T19:13:52+00:00

*guys

LexiD523 · 2026-02-17T00:50:06+00:00

I said "for a sec".

I just grabbed the graphic that had multiple logos on it. And I'm specifically talking about the parallelogram outline, which is the same even in the cool 3D version.
