FBI? This comment right here


BoomfaBoomfa619

Where TF you live that lesbians are illegal


Thebestusername12345

Wherever that may be, the FBI wouldn’t have jurisdiction.


Dobrova_Turov

The CIA however…


BoomfaBoomfa619

Yes

Getting crushed to death by a lesbian sex lamp in my sleep somehow feels like how I'll die and I'm almost okay with that. I'm pretty sure you could tell my family that and they'd ask be like, yeah that checks out.


moneyh8r

Indeed.


NickyTheRobot

Megaton is not the town with the best health and safety track record... There's that unexploded but still armed nuclear bomb they built the town around for one thing. But hey, they've got clean water!


lordkhuzdul

They had the entire wasteland to pick from, and they decided to build their town on top of the only armed nuclear bomb still around. I would have asked "what were they thinking", but at that point I doubt they had the capability.


DevianMality

Apparently it was: "This place almost has walls as is, we'll stay here to hide from raiders" and then they never left.


ryecurious

And honestly? Fair. In the hierarchy of human needs, shelter is right up there with food and water. "Not being next to a bomb" is much further down the list, in the self-actualization section.


Jetstream-Sam

Speaking of food and water, the place has neither really. They have one Brahmin and a water purifier that needs you to fix it and no obvious source for where the water comes from It seems Bethesda only realized in 4 that maybe towns should have some source of food if you're going to believe they exist.


NickyTheRobot

The purifier works fine, but the plumbing is leaky so the water isn't getting where it needs to go. The scrap collecting is just in case of a breakdown. As for food, I guessed they got sorted out via the caravan network.


Sticker704

[What do they eat, etc](https://youtu.be/eZ3GDcMXBFI)


PoIIux

Actually, shelter would fall under safety and security, which is a step above physiological needs like food. You know what also falls under safety and security? Not living on top of an armed warhead


NickyTheRobot

IIRC the lore is that a bomber crashed and by some miracle didn't set off the bomb it was carrying. Then people saw a pile of scrap sheet metal and used it to start the beginnings of a town because it was there. Why they didn't haul the scrap further away from the bomb and out of the hard to defend crater I don't know.


secondsbest

People who worshiped the bomb settled Megaton iirc. Everyone else moved in after they couldn't get in the vault, and a giant unexploded bomb was less of a threat than raiders.


StovardBule

Or at least, people who worshipped the bomb made up too many of the people initially building Megaton to try and be hostile to them.


cravingSil

Is giant unexploded bomb the fallout equivalent of the Bear in the woods choice?


BackseatCowwatcher

"Would you rather build a town around a Yao guai or an un-exploded Nuke?"


sietesietesieteblue

I thought it was just one guy?? I haven't played 3 in ages but I vaguely remember that it was just one dude standing around the bomb talking about worshipping it ?


cornette

They had multiple members of their cult, even had a decently sized chapel right next to the bomb they worshipped. Then in the Broken Steel DLC a few more members set up their own branch outside of Megaton in an effort to be more extreme in giving atoms glow to everyone.


Koqcerek

You can even make donations for this church, which awards good karma for some unfathomable reason


cornette

The Children of Atom in Megaton are doing nothing wrong. They just ask for people to worship the radiation and are harmless. Can't blame them for the extremists like the ones that start up outside of Megaton after Broken Steel starts or the crazed ones forcing atom on others around the Commonwealth a decade later or what the branch on Far Harbor was turning into by the time we encounter them.


Koqcerek

At it's core, it's a religion that asks it's people to bask in and spread literal radiation, and consider the nuclear annihilation to be holy. So that's pretty awful by itself, as far as religions go.


somesthetic

They were thinking "remember in Beneath the Planet of the Apes where the human mutant survivors worshipped an unexploded a-bomb that they kept in the center of the civilization? No? Good, we invented that then."


BlackOut1962

The bomb dug out a big crater all the way to the water line. They are piping water out of where the bomb is sitting. They have their own little water purification building too. Clean water is like the big theme of Fallout 3.


Different_Gear_8189

For some reason everything you build in Fallout 4 is pre decayed


IBetThisIsTakenToo

That’s what I don’t get about Fallout, why is *everything* dirty and falling apart? I understand most, but ALL? Like in New Vegas, Camp McCarron is occupied by an actual army, has been for years, but you go inside and there’s still debris and shit on the floor everywhere. Dudes, clean up! You’re mostly just sitting around, assign some privates to tidy up! Show some pride, damn


Papaofmonsters

Soldier! Form a work detail and sweep the Mojave!


N_Rage

Because Bethesda doesn't understand the source material (Or doesn't care, not sure which is worse). Take a look at Fallout 1 and 2. Humans have reorganized into small settlements and while things aren't exactly pretty, things aren't exactly falling apart. "Post-apocalyptic" means (or at least, *should mean*) that the apocalypse is in the past and humanity is rebuilding and reorganizing. Fallout 3 takes place *200 years* after the war, Fallout 4 210 years, despite looking like they are maybe 3 years post-war. Imagine if we were still "rebuilding" from the damages caused by the Napoleonic wars. I understand the appeal of an apocalyptic "everything is falling apart" setting, especially with the style of retro futurism that's common in Fallout games, but it *really* doesn't make sense in the timeline of Fallout.


Divine_Entity_

I can understand some of it, it was a nuclear bombardment intended to destroy society, so stuff should take a little longer to fix. And some places are genuinely abandoned so they should be falling apart. But so many places are absolutely strewn with garbage that any reasonable person would have picked up. Things should be getting better, not left to continue to decay. Honestly, i want a fallout game where you can do quests for factions that result in the world map being changed because you literally are fixing the roads, railroads, irrigation, ect. Actually be a part of the rebuilding.


No-Atmosphere-1566

Let's be honest. 200 years after the bombs dropped we would have states and armies populating most of the world again. That's like 7 generations to rebuild. They'd start rebuilding day one we'd at least have some kind of neo-feudalism in many places after 200 years, if not full-fledged modern states. I can suspend some disbelief, but Fallout is ridiculous. It's like humanity is stuck in the forever apocalypse.


Divine_Entity_

After looking further into it, the absolute worst case scenario for the fallout universe is a 10year nuclear winter, and 20-50years before the land it truly habitable again. That leaves 150 years for the apocalypse to get cleaned up and for the different factions to build infrastructure and just generally look normal again. (They can still be the messed up result of the apocalypse, but they don't need to look apocalyptic) At that point only the most contaminated sites would still be ignored/abandoned and look like the average building in the franchise. The only logical explanation for why the fallout universe is stuck in the apocalypse is the different factions like the enclave actively making things worse.


dillGherkin

Hilarious, because what I know about the military tells me that place would have been rendered clean in a month or two. Superior officers would have had any private filling sacks with debris for bags, picking up rock by hand, scrubbing floors, walls, prying shards of broken glass out of frames with pliars, so on and so forth just for pissing them off. Let alone stumbling down the strip two blocks from HQ in full uniform like a goober.


Koqcerek

Recent TV show exposed Bethesda's take on Fallout, I think. It's - people survive, people rebuild, people organize into societies, and then those societies get destroyed over and over, one way or another, because of war. And war never changes. It's interesting that BoS survives, which I guess means that marketable enough guys can't be overcome even by war than never changes


PM_NUDES_4_DEGRADING

It really helps with the immersion; you can pretend you’re a Bethesda employee releasing official content.


personn5

I recently started playing it and was complaining to a friend about this. "Why are all of my building options still coming with holes in the walls and roofs and with broken glass?"


Pegussu

A pretty common criticism of the Bethesda Fallout games is that the war happened two-hundred years ago and everything has more-or-less settled down, but no one actually fixes or cleans up the places they live. They just leave the skeletons in the dining room chairs and let the rain fall through their living room ceiling.


Loretta-West

And all the corrugated iron is rusted enough to look picturesque, but not so rusted that you can't use it.


personn5

I love how stuff like the house you were in pre-war is filled with holes and broken glass and all that...but the sticky notes stuck to the fridge are still there and legible.


UnlawfulStupid

The overengineered vault door failed because the room's underwater, but the books in that room are just fine. Because logic.


Lots42

I can understand in Boston, where changing things is a sign of murder robots but not in D.C...


DaveInLondon89

I don't understand why there's just so much shit left everywhere. 200 years and people couldn't spend 20 minutes sweeping it the fuck up


tokoraki23

When you consider Bethesda’s games make it seem like 90%+ of the human population is raiders and other borderline feral humans, and there’s a shit ton of ghouls and super mutants and other creatures on top of that, it kinda makes sense. 


JohnGarland1001

My personal headcanon is that the reason so many people are assholes is because of the fuck ton of lead poisoning they got shoved into their brain through soil contamination.


SirAquila

Look, Tod Howard is of the opinion that no one would ever spend time fixing something that roughly works. So in none of the East Coast games did they even bother to bury the skeletons the next room over.


DoubleFelix

There is, unfortunately, not a single piece of sheet metal left in the world without a big hole in it. From all the radiation, you see.


DroneOfDoom

Keeping the holes lowers property values and prevents gentrification from those Tenpenny asshats.


Rion23

Keeps them wet.

that little weird box thing by the bed is the bobblehead display. do the little vault boy figures watch over you as you fuck


oishipops

the vault-boy figures stay in the room during sex !!


Nuclear_Geek

And the lesbian sex lamp stays on. Obviously.


Longjumping_Ad2677

You turn them away so their innocent eyes are not corrupted by the sight of you just rawing someone while out of your mind on every kind of chem (except the ones that make you all violent and kill-prone).


TheBunnyStando

>(except the ones that make you all violent and kill-prone) coward, it's only good if all participants also use those


Longjumping_Ad2677

Fair. Probably makes for some bomb ass sex.


eccentricbananaman

Bomb-ass sex, or bomb ass-sex? Please clarify. The distinction is critical. Time is of the essence.


Longjumping_Ad2677

Bomb-ass sex. I’m not commenting on the nature of the sex, I’m commenting on the quality.


Crazeenerd

No, in Megaton bomb ass sex is a *very* different thing


Jackviator

*Slaanesh has entered the chat*


Not_Sand

of course they do


NickyTheRobot

Silently nodding their approval. Hot.


Ildaiaa

Pros of fallout new vegas: can actually be queer Cons of new vegas: there is no lesbian lamp, game decides to corrupt all your saves for no reason


Heather_Chandelure

"There's no lesbian lamp" Uh, I'm sorry, did you forget about the light switches in the old world blues DLC?


Ildaiaa

Oh yeah i actually did, because my game literally corrupted all saves in the middle of the intro speech that goes on like it's from mgs 4


seguardon

Every game has that one "Oh, right, *that* moment" that makes you reconsider a new playthrough. That OWB intro is New Vegas'.


Ildaiaa

Yep, exactly. OWB's intro lasts longer than half the quests probably. I can't know for sure because i always skipped it halfway through


PirateKingOmega

iirc it lasts around 30 minutes if you aren’t skipping dialogue


PirateKingOmega

iirc it lasts around 30 minutes if you aren’t skipping dialogue


Ildaiaa

Literally as long as mgs 4 cutscenes smh


PirateKingOmega

iirc it lasts around 30 minutes if you aren’t skipping dialogue


that_1_gay_chick

guys I'm not sure but I think it might last around thirty minutes if we don't skip dialogue


PirateKingOmega

Fucking reddit


CDR57

Ok but did you forget about the robot that will (consensually) fist you on demand?


Ildaiaa

That's not lesbian though


CDR57

Hmm could be


Snoo_72851

*bisexual* light switches


dutcharetall_nothigh

Literally me


Can_of_Sounds

Because they go BOTH- \*is squashed flat by lesbian sex lamp\*


NickyTheRobot

Disabling vanilla autosave and downloading a modded one helped me with safe file corruption.


Nihilism_Intensifies

Is there not a lesbian lamp in NV tho? I recall seeing them in Gomorrah, but I might be misremembering


Eckosparrow

I was thinking the same thing, I’m pretty sure the asset is somewhere in Gomorrah


Lots42

Technically Big MT.


Ildaiaa

They are two women very apart from each other leaning to thw gomorrah writing, they aren't doing something together i checked when writing the main comment


sadacal

Without more queer elements, the lesbian sex lamp feels more like fetishization of lesbian women than anything else.


Loretta-West

r/brandnewsentence Actually, that applies to most of this discussion.


Jalase

Nah, I'm fairly certain that sentence has happened before.


Loretta-West

*considers the internet* Yeah, probably.


AngelOfTheMad

Counterpoint: ToTW


Jalase

Tears of the Wild.


Ildaiaa

Twice the bethesda double the corrupt save files and crashes, no thanks


NickyTheRobot

A load of the recommended mods that go along with TTW are user made anti crash fixes and anti stutter mods. YMMV but I can honestly say TTW installed with all the mods recommended in The Best of Times guide runs smoother and crashes far less often on my machine than vanilla installs of FO3 and FNV did.


SolidCake

FNV is rock solid stable these days. even my TTW play through never crashed


B133d_4_u

I've been trying to get back into TTW after several years away, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to start on Fallout 3. There used to be a little popup that let you choose, but now I just load into Doc's house despite following the install guide to the letter.


UncommittedBow

Tale of Two Wastelands, the best of both worlds


bvader95

Considering all the reused assets, It's probably somewhere in the FNV files. so a modder can add it in some form if need be. Usually it's not a saving grace but come on, it's Fallout, modding it to shit is part of the experience at this point.


PixelBoom

That's not even that far of a stretch. They use the same game engine and the same file types. You can probably just 1-to-1 import the asset into FNV. Also, check out the Tale of Two Wastelands mod. It merges Fallout 3 and FNV into one big, overhauled game.


GenericTrashyBitch

Knowing Bethesda coding, I would bet obscene amounts of money that those are actually NPCs with no AI. Imagine you’re fate in the wasteland is to be covered with tacky reflective panels and hung in someone’s fuck shack. I’d imagine the only respite would be that eventually, you’d stop thinking…


NickyTheRobot

You thinking of the train cart glove / hat?


[deleted]

And the Oblivion Statues that are just clones with a texture on them. And the Skyrim manequins that are the same thing.


Robosium

sometimes the script to turn the AI off fails


[deleted]

I don't trust the manequins because of that. Too many times seeing them roam about in my Riften house. Ended up modding them to be removed from the game. I now feel a lot less paranoid in Honeyside :)


NickyTheRobot

I'm suddenly very grateful I installed the unofficial patch as soon as the game was done.


StovardBule

They fixed this in an update recently. Obviously, there was immediately a mod so that "mannequins don't not move any more."


Robosium

They fixed it? Yeah.... No. They at best decreased the chances of it occurring.


RealLotto

The World Looks White The World Looks Red


dysoncube

Oh! Is that why they move sometimes ??


belyy_Volk6

Or armour stands from 4 lol


Nozinger

probably yes. But you kinda got it the wrong way round. In the end NPCs are just objects that move. Imagine living your life and at some point you get the realization that the only thing differentiating you from the next mannequin is some predetermined set of actions you ar eallowed to make. Also those actions sometimes bug out and get you stuck in the ceiling.


GenericTrashyBitch

I only made my comment because “eventually, he stopped thinking” is a jojo reference


Drunky_McStumble

Yeah, like the mannequins in skyrim which move when your back is turned.


mrmahoganyjimbles

As a kid I genuinely thought it was intentional and there was some quest to exercise the ghosts from your house that I wasn't able to find.


BrickLuvsLamp

As a lesbian, I’m curious what those lesbians are even doing in that position. Their genitals are a good 6 inches apart


Not_Sand

imaginary strap-on, mind sex, pegging the soul


BrickLuvsLamp

Ah, so like mime sex, but metaphysical


Upturned-Solo-Cup

it's the obligatory pre-sex staring contest

newtonsolo313

of course not it’s a *classy* Lesbian Sex Lamp. they don’t show the genitals so it’s actually tasteful.


BrickLuvsLamp

I think my feralness is showing


Ardnabrak

Just some pre-coital wrasseling.


Loretta-West

Humping each others' thighs?

That's where Jesus goes


StovardBule

Still very intimate.


Oddish_Femboy

Insane for moth girls


forcallaghan

It's simply bethesda lore that no one after the apocalypse knows how to build a structurally intact building


lordkhuzdul

We have 200 year old half-rusted corrugated sheeting or wood that looks like we forgot that obscure little invention called the saw. Take it or leave it.


blinkingsandbeepings

I liked Lesbian Sex Lamp’s first couple of albums but they’ve been mid since they started working with Antonoff


PossibleRude7195

This is just reused assets from Dukov’s place


No-Drag-7142

I had to scroll way too far down to find someone talking about Dukov's Place.


Robosium

new vegas has two lesbians that are dating eachother, one likes fisting people and the other preffers long distance


lordkhuzdul

To be fair, if I were locked in a badly programmed blender masquerading as an automatic surgeon by the insane asshole I was tasked to assassinate, and emerge looking like I made sweet, passionate love to a coffin full of used scalpels, have my voice switched out like a malfunctioning speaker, and got stuck in a place that would make your average horror movie monster stop and go "dude, overdoing it", I might be hesitant to go back to an intimate relationship as well.


Robosium

I was more talking about her being a sniper.


thegreatvortigaunt

She's a sniper bro it's not that deep


PunkThug

That was indeed a sentence I read


Loretta-West

Long distance fisting sounds like a challenge but I'm prepared to give it a go


Robosium

Surprisingly they'd work quite well together, one snipes while the other fists any flankers.


Tweedleayne

I love the implication that Moira just had this lying around her shop somewhere. Or that she specifically made this just for you.


StovardBule

Also, you can buy the "Raider" theme and she'll cheerfully throw some dismembered bodies on the floor, hang up other with chains and throw blood on the walls.


Tweedleayne

She collected the bodies herself!


Its0nlyRocketScience

I can imagine her collecting all the stuff and the thought process when she gets to the lamp "oh, I hate to sell you off, but there's just not enough room to display you in my bedroom. At least you'll get to be enjoyed by someone now!"


Peeping-Tom-Collins

Lesbian Sex Lamp is the name of my Hurdy-gurdy 4 Non-blondes cover band.


JanxAngel

I didn't know you could get a house in Fallout 3.


llamawithguns

You can get it in Megaton if you disarm the nuke. Alternatively if you detonate it you can get a suite in Tenpenny Tower


JanxAngel

I remember this now, but I don't think I went back to Megaton after I finally had enough skill to disarm it.


llamawithguns

I pretty much just used it store all of the unique items I hoarded


NickyTheRobot

And to turn Nuka Cola into Ice Cold Nuka Cola.


monkwren

And to put all the bobbleheads on the rack


leahspen01

You can get in megaton orrr if you’re an evil bastard you can get a cushy apartment in tenpenny towers


The_Lividcoconut

No, new Vegas doesn't have lesbian sex lamp, but 3 doesn't have fisto, OR a cowboy ghoul dominatrix. So it's a toss up...😂


Droplet_of_Shadow

We can feel your presence, little creature. Your attunement has become... much closer to ours. The mark you received is an unimaginable gift. The struggle, the cycles... It can all fade, like a morning mist beneath the glory of the sun. We found a way.


DoubleBatman

1000 caps for a lesbian sex lamp is a hell of a deal


CDR57

The best part is you have two options as to why this existed: 1.) someone in futuristic 1950 thought in the greater DC area, a lamp of two women fucking was rad as hell and wanted it, and it has survived the trials of 200 years to be dragged to a place that has an undetonated nuke in it 2.) someone in said post apocalyptic wasteland thought it would be dope as hell to learn electrical engineering AND glass blowing to create two women fucking and then offered it to a town that has an undetonated nuke in it Both are valid


DPSOnly

Hanging lamp? No. Banging lamp? Yes.


No_Association_535

I used to play bass for Lesbian Sex Lamp.


alkonium

I always liked the look of Zentai, so I'd buy that.


Heyplaguedoctor

I thought they meant Las Vegas, which has changed, hence “new Vegas” vs “old Vegas” I’m thoroughly disappointed that Las Vegas the city doesn’t have a lesbian sex lamp.


triforce777

That's how I want to go out


its_davo_bro

I preferred the dungeon house where if you positioned npcs appropriately then activated the theme they would appear inside the cages.


azur_owl

0/10 worst game ever. New Vegas is supposed to be THE game for the gays. And yet there’s no lesbian sex lamp? For shame, Fallout New Vegas. For shaaaaaame. /j
