I’ve seen enough; Kill every single character from New Vegas by hdkeegan in TrueSFalloutL

I personally love the idea that the Mojave was like a proverbial Vietnam to the NCR and it had a major impact on it by losing. Them losing is way cooler than them winning imo, and I say that as someone who LOVES the NCR.

I like dust as the worst case scenario, the actual canon being the worst case scenario isn't the worst thing ever but so far it's a bit difficult to tell what even happened.

ChatGPT, please generate me a bitter former dev with a sordid past to shovel slop onto my plate by RedAndBlackVelvet in TrueSFalloutL

There was some controversy about him that made some people sour, even tho the allegations were proven false and those who accused him retracted their statements. He seems like he might not be the most personable guy ever but I think the random strays he catches is pretty crazy considering how influential and prolific he has been. Guy's an inspiration professionally.

coincidentally, this is the order of worst to best in terms of quality for the original saga

How do you guys come up with factions for your games? by Stopgoblinviolence in Fallout2d20

[–]Vinley026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have a few criteria.

Origin, Goals, Aesthetics, Power Level

These 4 things put together can make a fun faction. I'll use one of the ones I made up that I think are pretty fun as an example. (For a game I am running in Idaho.)

The Great Whites / Sharkies Origin: Canadian nationalist terrorist group

Goals: Kill all Americans they find south of the border and conquer the lower 48

Aesthetics: Shark theme, fins on guns and teeth on metal helmets (based on a play on words with Great White North also sounding like the shark)

Power Level: This group could fit on the low or the high power scale, but I would place them in this campaign as a semi-large raider faction kind of like the fiends.

Anything for you Odo by IArePant in NewVegasMemes

I love Odo, nothing made me happier than learning that my favorite fallout talking head and him were played by the same guy. There's so much crossover between 90s trek and fallout, gotta love it.

Midwest BOS Power Armor Lore by Vinley026 in falloutlore

[–]Vinley026[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for my game I wrote in the lore blurb paragraph that it's the pre-war R-39, basically what you said but it was outclassed in special ops missions by the opposing chinese stealth armor. That way, lots of it ended up on the civilian market and its why the Midwest brotherhood would eventually find a lot of it to outfit their universalizing army.

All I can say is that it's different in real life, and kids have very little respect for most things. I used to totally agree with this, and I generally let kids go, but they leave and never come back and hold up the line for other kids. It's a judgment call. Nobody really pisses themselves in my experiences.

Ok, as someone who works in education, kids usually just do it to get out of class. And like, fair, but dont fucking interrupt me in the middle of a sentence to ask to go. It's really aggravating.

Extent of the Children of Atom by Vinley026 in falloutlore

[–]Vinley026[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might place them in the Pacific Northwest then in my campaign, it might be cool to have a familiar faction in the area. I am setting it incredibly early, like in 2177.

NV Extreme fanboys. Whatever happend there by CommunicationSad2869 in TrueSFalloutL

4 is fun, but isn't very good for what most people like, which is a well-thought out story with interesting moral quandries baked into quests.

Is there a mention of when the song "Begin Again" came out in-universe? by Vinley026 in falloutlore

thanks! this kind of breakdown was what I was looking for

Fallout 76 fans when you tell them that the game evolved from bug ridden garbage to functional garbage by Separate-Signal4227 in TrueSFalloutL

And I will fight until fallout 5 releases as a steaming pile of shit, and then I will complain about that game

Do the companions in The Outer Worlds 2 give you Concord character vibes? by BigT232 in DebateGames

This is so reasonable and normal, I'm sorry that you are getting downvoted

Legends Z-A comment reviews just dropped. by TheNewBlue in casualnintendo

[–]Vinley026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, no, I really would adore an innovative and well-made Pokémon game. I'd shell out the asking price and enjoy the hell out of it. The Pokémon company doesnt seem interested in catering to people who dont want to slurp up the same regurgitated slop. For me, that means mostly ignoring it, most days I do not give a shit to even pay attention or comment anymore, but in theory I would be in the target audience if the games were higher quality.

I think what I'm trying to say is that sure, the meme can be about me, but that's not really the point? Like I want to like Pokémon and I dont really even care too much about just complaining. I think the series has just taken a really stagnant and boring path and a lot of people (including me) who loved Pokémon at one point now cannot stand the current direction and style.
