[nukacolaofficial]

my attention for fallout fluctuates greatly so if i havent posted in 3 months dw, im due a relapse ✌️

I get people who are like “why do you play Bethesda games” and it’s like what other game studio lets me pick up basically everything in my environment and throw it at people

[what-even-is-thiss]

Killing NPCs with a cauldron is a time honored Skyrim tradition

[what-even-is-thiss]

The Bethesda fallout games have the junk jet which is literally a giant gun that can shoot all of the random clutter you collect at people. You can kill people with a teddy bear shot out of a canon at Mach 5 and if that isn’t hilarious to you then I don’t think we can get along.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m as big of a starfield hater as you can find but it kept the Bethesda clutter that you can pick up thing which is wonderful because you can collect houseplants and drop them all over the president’s desk if you want to.

[what-even-is-thiss]

See that’s what I miss in other open world video games. In so many of them you can see the pizza box but you can’t make a collection of a thousand pizza boxes and block the road with them.

In oblivion if I want to flood the imperial palace with cabbages and I have the will to go out and collect enough cabbages then nobody will stop me from doing that.

in new vegas i spawned as many dinky dinoes into my inventory as possible (or maybe it was as many as i could steal, the details are fuzzy) and i dropped them one by one (so they didnt drop in one stack). when i exited the pipboy it took about a solid minute to load, there was a tremenous overlapping 'item_drop.mp3' and there was a world war z pile of dinkys in a perfect circle around me as if dinky himself had collapsed into a pile of much smaller dinkys

Guardian Drone’s are used for combat by the Aliens. Stop these robots by firing at their hover platforms, using the Robotics Expert perk, or enslaving them with the Drone Control Device. Otherwise, destroy them quickly because their Drone Cannon is particularly devastating.

smash or pass: support drone

literally the only reason these arent smash is bc the first time i did mothership zeta i was hideously underlevelled and these fuckers rogered me into the shadow realm 6 times a minute

i think brahmin are hermaphrodites, specifically simultaneous hermaphrodites

they have both horns and udders. i think they have sex organs making them capable of both fertilisation and carrying a fetus

any two brahmin can just mate. find two brahmin: infinite brahmin

I decided to bankroll a local artist, you should have seen his face when I whipped out a thousand caps like it was nothing. He says that it's going to buy him more art supplies than the commonwealth knows what to do with.

He also gave me a knife, so that's fun. I've taken all of his art and built a little place for them to be displayed.

Been playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Badly.

One of the greatest tragedies of the fallout universe is that horses are extinct. And I think I would side with the institute if they made synthetic horses

[nukacolaofficial]

apologies for the potato image this is literally the only i could find

fallout london did it! they're called sleipnirs on account of having 8-ish legs

if i remember correctly there's a few around biggin hill 👍

[veteran-ranger]

You love your favorite Fallout factions despite their flaws.

I love my favourite Fallout factions because of their flaws.

We are not the same.

I just can’t hit these guys! what should I do, michael?

I have the armor of my fallen enemy displayed in my home. Like a serial killer or a superhero.

[slocum-dodson]

We all want fat racks on occasion.

one of my most useless skills is being able to blindly mark goodneighbour on the map to about 10 steps of accuracy

And so the courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings cheated death once again, and the Mojave waste land was forever changed.

inspired by @numberonefalloutglazer i wanted to muse on the flavours of some fallout food and drinks

nuka quantum: one time i mixed a blue raspberry freezable slush puppie with lemonade (im english, it was fizzy) and just drank it. i imagine something like that, but with more of a battery acid undertone.

nuka dark: i always imagined it to be rum in there. so like rum and coke. or those little cans of premixed jack daniels and coke you can get.

dandy boy apples: i think these are caramel apples, not just. apple apples. i think they're shit apples though. mealy and gritty and soft and gross. but the caramel goes a long way in making them palatable.

'junk food': the box says 'potato crisps' but it is identical to the actual crisp box in fo3/nv. if they are crisps, i think they're the ones that werent good enough to sell. like a broken biscuit box. but shittier. they're pribably mixed flavours and mostly just crumbs. they sweep them up off the factory floor and put em in a box so they're at least 40% sawdust. stale. gross.

fancy lad snack cakes: these motherfuckers are rock solid. they're like boiled sweets made of cake. they once were little iced fairy cakes. but now they're crunchy and you gotta use a toffee hammer if you cant fit a whole thing in your mouth to suck on. very sweet, surprisingly good!

[numberonefalloutglazer]

What I think every (some) Fallout food tastes like pt.2

Animals Edition!! (I'm not a pro food critic so my takes on food might be bad sorry!)

Bighorner - Specifically a grown Bighorner's meat. eWith how huge Bighorners are, I'd imagine there'd be plenty of fatty working cuts and tender steak-like cuts. The flavor would be more earthy and gamey than goat or lamb but probably has more of that goat smell-taste if that makes any sense?? The texture would be not as close to beef as real goat is but would still be great. Would definetly eat

Bloatfly - There's no way bloatfly taste good at all 😭😭 They're disgusting massive fat flies that somehow have enough flesh for it to be edible. The texture would be probably slimy not matter how much you cooked it with the meat having a texture of a mix between crab and escargo. The taste would be bitter and sickly gamey, like licking the ground of a crime scene. It probably stinks too. Wouldn't eat and gives you diseases

Giant Ant - THIS is a bug I can get behind eating. A huge massive ant sounds actually pretty good. The texture would probably suffer the Bloatfly problem without all the bloatfly slimy gunk. The taste would be quiet nutty and earthy to be sure, maybe with a hint of whatever they'd eaten before (like pigs). My only problem would be with the texture, I imagine all bug meat have a gross texture. Would eat

Deathclaw - One of the greatest beasts of the wasteland yet the one seemingly picked on for picking the most. Seriously, there's a lot of times you can go steal Deathclaw eggs for food and you can indeed cook Deathclaw meat. The texture would be maybe similar to iguana? Maybe something more lean since they're quiet muscular. The taste would be gator and turtle like with a certain "meat" flavor to it that overpowers anything else cooked with it. Would eat with great caution

[nukacolaofficial]

i think bloatfly would be gritty. also a have a follow up:

"iguana": it taste like pork! cmon try some! wasteland special pork taste remember pork? 100% real iguana taste right here. safe to eat! no prion disease! promise 🥺
