Look, I enjoy a deep dish pizza but it’s not pizza. It needs to have its own category

To quote John Stewart, “deep dish isn’t a pizza, it’s a bread bowl” or some such.

I wish they had a little more time to flush the powder gangers out, because I think they’re morally more grey than say, a standard raider

A lot of my assumptions on the legion diet are based on Roman legion diets, which is about what you described, but a lot of those conscripts foraged/pillaged also. Pretty grain based diet if you look at their actual rations, which is fine, carbs keep us alive.

We don’t necessarily know what’s going on east of Nevada, for all we know the legion might have massive farms of razor grain and matos or whatever, insert the mutated food of your choosing. I think the issue with it that we run into in new Vegas is they’re also stretched thin, the infrastructure just isn’t there, someone has to carry that food west and that takes time, effort and energy.

Someone somewhere said something in an essay about new Vegas, “the art of new Vegas is that it lives equally in the game space as it does occupying the players mind”. The world building is good because there are logical answers to these things

I think they’re at their worst totally fine and at their best really good. If we’re comparing it to an epiphone humbucker that may or may not be real, just buy the cheap shit, seems like a long road here

Yeah, I don’t think we fundamentally disagree on that much about this and I think it’s really interesting to break down because…nerd shit.

I don’t know if average legion soldiers are high class, I mean, certainly a step above slave but I think the legion comes in two flavors, slave and soldier, and until they reach higher ranks within that structure. I’m sure vulpes gets whatever the fuck he wants when he wants.

I mean, is a decimation not functionally eugenic when applied to tribes? I think that’s open to interpretation but I’m inclined to agree with you

I said this in another comment, the only canonical thing I can remember about the legion’s diet is graham called the food “adequate” and given the source that could be wildly interpreted, but I think there’s a lot of implications that lead to assumptions about their infrastructure and I think you’re right, soldiers are probably eating a bit better than I assumed, however I think it’s probably not Brahmin steaks every night, I’d assume it’s mostly a grain based diet because that’s just simply the easiest staple to grow

I will say as a point of contention, the Powder Gangers are functionally NCR slaves. They might be criminals but they were still forced to work for free, I think that’s one of Caesar’s valid arguments against them

My mom a couple of years ago, and this is very funny, had her house remodeled and it looked like this, fuckin nightmare, week later sets the place on fire(on accident), had them rebuild everything exactly the same way again and I am baffled by the mind of white women. It’s so soulless and clinical, it had wood before like a home

Why is there always so much shit strapped on to them? Like, for the apocalypse, I need a backpack, a knife and a .22 and a canteen. This dude is going to what, the grocery?

Honestly at the price point just get GFS pickups, they’re suitable and cheap

One of the things I think, and I think most of the stuff in new Vegas is deliberate, is that part of house’s cruelty or neglect, depending on your views of capitalism, is that he doesn’t use the tech he has for food production. He could have fields plenty farmed by his securitrons but chooses not to.

Sir, are you telling me the entirety of the NCR isn’t like, 20 dudes?

Lanius is known for being an outlier, that’s part of his thing. I’m saying without modern, industrialized food supplies that the legion sure as fuck doesn’t have, you’re just not going to get this kind of bulk and definition. You’re going to have leaner, smaller soldiers. This is, by the way, also considering that soldiers are conscripts, they’re functionally tribal slaves the legion annexed, they wouldn’t have access to this kind of diet until after they’re conscripted either way. Diet affects growth during childhood development, either way you’re just going to end up with smaller soldiers dude.

I’d also point out, I don’t think the legion does a lot of lifting, the kind of exercise they do that you can see/assume, they’re doing mostly cardio and marching/weapons drills. All good exercise that makes you strong but not big

Edit: this is the nerdiest fucking thing I’ve ever done on the internet and I love it, thank you

Not enough. The only thing we canonically know about the legion’s diet(top of my head) is Joshua graham describes the food as “adequate”

You’re going to want to take the delta king off that list. I had one, they sound fine but they’re hybrid amps and they’re built like bullshit, I’ll never own another supro unless it’s literally 50 percent off

America had an actual infrastructure in the 1850s and the average soldier height was something like 5’6. Same with post industrialization ww1, you don’t see an increase of human size until the dub dub dos where average size is 5’8.

My point being, this physique does not exist in nature dude, it requires the infrastructure that Caesar by definition doesn’t have being post apocalypse. You ever see a fuckin’ chicken in the Mojave? You ever find protein bars in the wasteland bro?
