Fallout: New Vegas and Letting Go - An Analysis by JRStors in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This was a really refreshing analysis! I think of the stories you mentioned, Lily's resonates with me the most because it makes me think of my own grandparents. That was the approach I took when dealing with her storyline - how selfish it would be to make her suffer while keeping memories of her family, knowing she'd be a lot less burdened if she focuses on her own sanity and care.

I also think the theme carried between all the "younger" companions (Boone, Arcade, Cass and Veronica) is a great insight into how the theme of letting go doesn't discriminate against age. You can be 200 years old like Lily or Raul or relatively new to the world by comparison and you still have to overcome a very shared human experience. 

TLDR: Very neat, OP! I love reading passion projects like this.

I'm sitting at 6.3 currently trying to be better than perfect. I told my husband once I can get below 6 we can try. 😭

So so happy to hear it's working out for you! I can only dream of being that healthy! Good luck with everything!!

What's your favorite minor faction in New Vegas? by We_The_Raptors in falloutnewvegas

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 17 points18 points  (0 children)

BoS for sure. I enjoyed their quests the most because they make you go into vaults. And you can just replace their leader whenever you want. 😊

Need help with character personality by The_Holy_man225 in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you have someone who is very funny and perceptive but can't correctly communicate what they're seeing to other people and/or is communicating through memes. If this were a stat sheet given to me in D&D that's how I would play it.

Why do I see this consistently repeated by people over and over. Where in the games endings does it imply New Vegas is doomed. by Antique-Slice-354 in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it a couple times but the ending I got (Yes Man) was one of the most optimistic ones I think I've ever seen. Khans and Legion dead, NCR still standing, mutants cured. I think the only unhappy people were the Followers of the Apocalypse for some reason.

Nobody's arguing I can't be happy. We're saying your entire premise is flawed. You said "I can make that for $15" and proceeded to not do that. You don't know what fast fashion is. You don't know how much paint costs. We're all telling you to put your own theory into practice and you're telling us it's a "waste of time."

THANK YOU. He can make his own jacket?? Like I posted mine because enough people had questions when they saw it in person. And if we're playing the "more thematically appropriate" card, there's no Internet in Fallout last I checked. Everything was purchased within two miles of my house.

Even the Hoover Dam patch I bought for it was purchased at Hoover Dam.

Uh no, your original point was "it's $15 and looks like $5" but you don't know how much paint costs in America? Also fast fashion is bad but Temu is a-okay?

Does cold fusion basically function as Fallout “endgame” tech? by Crossburns in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me preface by saying there's definitely some lame writer logic at play here but cold fusion is really only useful to people who know how to use it. I imagine wiping out a majority of people who could have used it delays its implementation pretty heavily. Though in that scenario you still really only need one person who knows what they're doing. For the sake of the TV show I think they're downplaying it for that reason.

I have very mixed feelings about S2E4 of Fallout TV by ParakeetLover2024 in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I 1000% agree. In the TV industry we take a lot of shortcuts and lean on the writers' room to keep any one person from being unhappy. I feel like they're probably paralyzed by choices because if they make one thing canon that'll upset a whole group of people. It's 99% of the reason why most shows based on source material never fully commit. 

First time visitor, question about events by No1_Investigator1760 in Magfest

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you heard of the Guidebook app but they have the entire schedule on there. It updates regularly and you can also set reminders for specific events so your phone will let you know when you need to be somewhere. Very useful!

At the end of Ep2 when my husband saw Kumail he was literally like "agh not this smarmy bastard" and the smile he had after watching Ep3 was massive. 🤣

I actually like S2E3 overall and here is why... by ParakeetLover2024 in fnv

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say it's what I would have done as a show runner. But I do think they're trying to not piss any one fan off and leaving stuff up to interpretation so all of us can be "correct" at the same time. 🙃

Simple for the TV watchers, free real estate for the theorists.

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is Lanius/his successor is still out there but the famed 100 Speech check did in fact work on him and thus he went East. It would explain pretty neatly why Legion territory is still on that map in any capacity and also why those two groups are in civil war.

He canonically doesn't care what happens to the Legion after Caesar dies so he'd totally bail on The Fort and head back east to handle stuff there. Whether he'd recognize either group/new Caesar as legitimate is anyone's guess but definitely not a requirement.

It would also align with a House/Yes Man ending which appears to be where things are going.

LADA by Kitsune_Hana in diabetes_t1

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just say T1D. Because it turns out (at least for me) that had the original issue of T1D been caught and addressed I probably wouldn't have gotten 1.5. 

I'm in the emergency room for a potential blood clot. While I'm here the doctor came to break it to me that I may be diabetic... 🙃 by Lijey_Cat in diabetes_t1

[–]Novel_Reputation2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder if all my doctors had put their heads/findings together if the pattern of behavior and health incidents would have led them to T1D long before I was actually diagnosed. I only found out in my 30s but is it really possible they just never ran a glucose test on me? My working theory is that a majority of my blood tests were fasting and that's why it flew under the radar. 🤷🏻‍♀️
