Ok so probably close to 9ish years ago I was super into the Fallout Fandom right? I believe it was somewhere between F4 being announced and actually releasing- I started a Skype chat group for people to talk about Fallout. I had very few people in my life that cared about the games and wanted to connect with other fans.
Anyway! Long story short- we did a ton of text chats, but I can really only remember being a part of one audio call. On this audio call (probably my first one with strangers from the internet), I was extremely nervous and shy but pushed myself to participate. Someone heard my voice and gave me a compliment something along the lines of... "Holy shit, your voice is how I pictured Vault Boys' voice to sound!"
I can't tell you how much I have thought about this interacting since then. I got to feel so freaking cool in that moment.
Anyway, that's been on my mind here lately. I fell away from the Fandom when my life hit several shit covered fans. I'm honestly too busy and not as enthusiastic about Fallout the way I was.
If you're reading this and you were apart of the Wasteland Support Group- send me a message some time? I know the group stuck together for a while after I was gone and 90% of them probably came from tumblr. If you're out there- I still think about that point in my life a lot. You all meant so much to me in such a small goofy internet way.
