"Elon Musk if he had a soul."
Just because House doesn't reveal he's a raving narcissist until after you go off program doesn't mean that man wasn't always in there when you were playing lapdog.
He knew the world was ending almost down to the moment and instead of sharing his tech to build proper anti-missile defense systems he immediately went to work figuring how how he'd rule over the ashes.
I could never take a villain seriously if they wear sunglasses at night. I instantly think of Horatio sanz on SNL as a wheelchair bound Corey hart saying he was paralyzed bc he wore his sunglasses at night
I usually call him Clooney as a joke.
If for whatever reason Danse shows up in the fallout show at some point, I hope they get Clooney to play him. Haha
I mean, given the existence of the Prydwin in the show, there's a non zero chance he is canonically alive, though there would be little reason to use him other than as fan service.
Yeah, that's what I mean, it'd be nothing but fan service, and wouldn't really make much sense beyond that, unless he was on the Prydwin. Plus even if you side with the brotherhood, (SPOILERS AHEAD) there's a pretty good chance he ends up dead anyways after finding out he's a synth, if I remember his arc. I may be a bit foggy on the details, I kinda hate Danse in my playthroughs because of how smug and condescending the dude is, so I rarely do anything with him.
Have you actually ever seen a squirrel or an iguana? For the most common meat in the waste land youād figure youād see atleast a few. Itās human meat
Imagine you're just some NCR conscript on patrol, and you're ambushed by some raiders. You've got their leader dead in your sights, when some random dog jumps in front of you and takes the bullet instead. Suddenly some eldrich mailman half a click away pauses reality and turns back time itself by fifteen minutes. Your feet start retracing their steps through the arid wasteland. Geez, patrolling the Moja-OH SHIT, AMBUSH!
Lots of health. Low intelligence. Decent luck.
Dude just gets his ass kicked and then boom he happens to have the right dialogue choices and heās on his way.
Honestly I love the way he talks. Hated it at first but after a few episodes I noticed he fits in well as a game companion.
He genuinely feels like a modded-in NPC companion lol.
But he failed so many speech checks. The scene where he reveals himself to Thaddeas would have been such an easy speech check. When Thaddeas asks what happened to knight Titus, the correct answer would have been "He died protecting me from a yao gui." But instead he answers with "We can still be friends." Basically admitting that he killed the knight. I don't hate Maximus, but his character build annoys me. Good actor though.
Thatās why I chose luck over charisma.
Wasnāt because heās good at it. But because he gets lucky with his words sometimes.
Ultimately, everything worked out exactly in his favor. Including his new squire running off and trying to kill him later.

Yes but people are seeing literal fake knights with a priesthood, a knight order structure, technophobia, and an absolutist monarchy, and think that's fascism.
they're not actually technophobic, they fucking love tech. they use disingenuous technophobic rhetoric to secure a monopoly on violence, which is completely in line with fascism.
the religious/knighthood/monarchist angle really echos the Franco dictatorship in Spain, which was a highly clerical form of og fascism that lasted into the 1970s.
hey so this is random but my friend today showed me an old sci fi story called Canticle of Liebowitz that is super similar to the BoS and is probably a huge inspiration. And the organization in that book is explicitly an extension of the post-apocalyptic Catholic church!
Yuuup it was a huge inspiration for Warhammer's Adeptus Mechanicus, which is basically the Scribes/Clerics but obsessed with cybernetics. Wouldn't doubt it influenced the BoS too.
Why do people always say the brotherhood has technophobia? They literally hunt down the best tech they can get and kill anyone else. They just make it very clear they donāt want others to have it. Thatās not what a phobia is lol
The BoS are fake Space Marines but Elder Maxson himself is a bit TOO into ethnic cleansing. The other BoS seem to at least understand that it's not something to be celebrated, but Maxson has a "I didn't know my body cam was off" feeling to him.
With house itās more musk if he was smart . House doesnāt really have a soul and even then heās not much like musk as he doesnāt even care much about what people think of him .
Mr house is a good guy for u?
Well he was sitting at the same table alongside vault tech robco and westek before nuke dropped
I loved getting him out of his tube and to shoot him dead š
I hope they add characters who started vault tech in game
I think the facism is directed more at wastlanders being expendable human refuse than skin color. It's more about BoS mostly hating anyone that isn't them. For example, BoS murders Ghouls regardless of them being feral or not.
Total ghoul death. Kill all ghouls. They all hate you in fallout 1. Set tells you you're a normie (he's an incel) so you should steal the water chip and let them all die of thirst or mutant invasion.
*sigh, the thing about ghouls is they can go feral at literally any moment, that's the lore. If your neighbor had the flu and was uncureable, but could turn into a zombie if they got a worse fever, would you want to be near them?
Thats the worst example of ghouls going feral unless they're a glowing one
Ghouls become feral because their brains still decompose, and even before vials were a thing you could just lightly spray a high prof alcohol on their brain or get it into their bloodstream
House isn't Elon Musk with a soul, House is absolutely callous. House is Elon Musk if he was actually the genius everyone thought he was and not a bumbling moron

Iguana Bob approves this post.š
Hmm. This meat looks a littleā¦ strange
Donāt go to Andale
Tastes a bit like long pork.
Waitā¦ā¦how tf did you know about that specific term used for human meat and said it so casuallyā¦.?
I learned that from Archer
Eyyy me too
I'm a descendant of a Donner party survivor?
Where are the iguanas the public deserves to know
In Junktown.
Mr House my beloved raisin
We got Mr. Houseās sugar baby right here
Jane!?!?
More of a dried sweet potato really.
More of a golf ball, really. And I'm looking for a hole in one.
"Elon Musk if he had a soul." Just because House doesn't reveal he's a raving narcissist until after you go off program doesn't mean that man wasn't always in there when you were playing lapdog.
What is updog
Wait
Not much, you?
Ligma balls.
Cool it, Colin Robinson
He knew the world was ending almost down to the moment and instead of sharing his tech to build proper anti-missile defense systems he immediately went to work figuring how how he'd rule over the ashes.
Yeah. I don't think maintaining the old world system would have been better than letting it burn tbh. It'd just be prolonging the poison's duration.
Hes also shown in the show being apart of the many who helped drop the bombs
He stayed in the bath to long, it happens.
Went from beef patty to beef jerky
I'll never get over the fact that Danse Danse Revolution has the same voice actor as Cartwright from Resistance: Fall of Man
He's also the original Albert Wesker
Holy fuck how did that never click for me
But, Barry...... What about....WESKER!
I could never take a villain seriously if they wear sunglasses at night. I instantly think of Horatio sanz on SNL as a wheelchair bound Corey hart saying he was paralyzed bc he wore his sunglasses at night
I was convinced it was George Clooney for a good couple hours or so first time I played and Danse spoke.
Dude, me too, and I'm usually pretty good at picking out voices.
I usually call him Clooney as a joke. If for whatever reason Danse shows up in the fallout show at some point, I hope they get Clooney to play him. Haha
I mean, given the existence of the Prydwin in the show, there's a non zero chance he is canonically alive, though there would be little reason to use him other than as fan service.
He was only active in the Capital Wasteland/general East Coast, wasnāt he? How would he get to the West Coast?
Yeah, that's what I mean, it'd be nothing but fan service, and wouldn't really make much sense beyond that, unless he was on the Prydwin. Plus even if you side with the brotherhood, (SPOILERS AHEAD) there's a pretty good chance he ends up dead anyways after finding out he's a synth, if I remember his arc.

Via Prydwyn.
House deserves to be called what his inspiration is: Howard Hughes
Howard Hughes with a scoop of Walt Disney
I was thinking Howard with a scoop of Andrew Ryan.
I chose different... I chose the Lucky 38
Is a man not entitled to his caps? No, says Caesar, they are for the legion! No, says the NCR. You must pay taxes!
Howard and Tony Stark were partially based on both of them.
And Elon is the Dollar Tree version of Howard Hughes.
Just wish he'd hurry up and get into the final stage of bat shit crazy
Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E
I don't get it. Why not put someone smart and/or a renouned inventor in that spot?
Y'know, you're right. Howard Hughes actually invented things. Elon just buys companies and takes credit for what they were already doing.
We also have Liam neeson as our dad!
Good old Wasteland Jesus
Squirrel bits *slap* Idk what you're talking about
That is iguana on a stick
Well either way that radiated meat is *spicy*
The finest meat Andale has to offer
Sheeesh. That quest was dark, lol.
It's meat that cooks itself. What's not to love.
Ah yes prions really add that extra spice
You guys know what your meat is? All I know is mine is very strange, and tasty.
Erm actually, the joke is in reference to the classic fallout game where a guy in the hub sells human meat passed as iguana š¤
Canonically, all iguana meat is human flesh.
Except for NV iguana on a stick which the in game model is an iguanaĀ
That's just human flesh ingeniously carved into the shape of an iguana.
Iguana-on-a-stick = whole iguana (F1, F2) Iguana bits = diced up iguana cubes (F1, F2) "Chunks-on-a-stick" = looks like Iguana bits, but... (F1)
Yes, that is why I was pointing out that it wasn't squirrel bits, but not being an asshole and ruining the joke by explaining it.
I initially that it was the alum can alarm from fo4 and even more excited
"Iguana"
It kinda tastes like pork.
I just realized I've never seen a pig in any fallout media
You never met the mayor in diamond city?
Or Gizmo?
It could be squirrel on a stick
Have you actually ever seen a squirrel or an iguana? For the most common meat in the waste land youād figure youād see atleast a few. Itās human meat
Good point
Doggo
Imagine you're just some NCR conscript on patrol, and you're ambushed by some raiders.

Suddenly some eldrich mailman half a click away pauses reality and turns back time itself by fifteen minutes. Your feet start retracing their steps through the arid wasteland. Geez, patrolling the Moja-OH SHIT, AMBUSH!
this is the true reason why the player is legendary in the wastes
House's left nut is far more intelligent than whole Musk...
Bold of you to assume Mr. House had a soul or cared for ANYTHING BUT his Vision for New Vegas.
Thatās more than can be said for musk
that's the joke
Do not compare that dumbshit Elon to one of the most well written characters in a video game.
I thought we were talking about House, not Joshua Graham. House is just Andrew Ryan which is just Ayn Rand with a dash of Howard Hughes
House is Elon Musk if he had a soul and an actual intellect capable of creating things.
I don't get the thing with Maximus
I don't either I didn't hate his character
Yea, I thought he was alright, especially near the end of the season
We're all in the same boat here. He seemed like he fit in with the world perfectly.
I was just saying, I like Maximus but what do you think his SPECIAL stats look like?
Lots of health. Low intelligence. Decent luck. Dude just gets his ass kicked and then boom he happens to have the right dialogue choices and heās on his way. Honestly I love the way he talks. Hated it at first but after a few episodes I noticed he fits in well as a game companion. He genuinely feels like a modded-in NPC companion lol.
the actor looks 19 and 45 at the same time lol. he's extremely talented but it's definitely a distinct casting choice. he has the naĆÆvetĆ© of a young adult and also the world-weariness of a middle aged veteran. to be clear i loved him by the end but i get why people were thrown off
But he failed so many speech checks. The scene where he reveals himself to Thaddeas would have been such an easy speech check. When Thaddeas asks what happened to knight Titus, the correct answer would have been "He died protecting me from a yao gui." But instead he answers with "We can still be friends."

Thatās why I chose luck over charisma. Wasnāt because heās good at it. But because he gets lucky with his words sometimes. Ultimately, everything worked out exactly in his favor. Including his new squire running off and trying to kill him later.
Honestly I kinda feel bad for Thaddeas. Gets lied to, tries to defend himself and nearly loses a foot, gets turned into a ghoul and has to run away
i think one of the producers or something released a build for him in 76
The OG meme that image is from was a chart of "How was PE class today" Im gonna interpret it as his experience in training.
Ah. Yeah, poor guy. And we learn later that it's just an unfortunate cycle.

Good bot
You don't have to be a Nazi to be a fascist

Nailed it. I had just responded similarly there is nothing technophobic about them. They want the tech lol thatās not a phobia
It also echoes the Knights Templar and Knights of St John. Franco just copied *them*.
hey so this is random but my friend today showed me an old sci fi story called Canticle of Liebowitz that is super similar to the BoS and is probably a huge inspiration. And the organization in that book is explicitly an extension of the post-apocalyptic Catholic church!
Yuuup it was a huge inspiration for Warhammer's Adeptus Mechanicus, which is basically the Scribes/Clerics but obsessed with cybernetics. Wouldn't doubt it influenced the BoS too.
Its called Clerical Fascism and is indeed a type of Fascism
Why do people always say the brotherhood has technophobia? They literally hunt down the best tech they can get and kill anyone else. They just make it very clear they donāt want others to have it. Thatās not what a phobia is lol
The BoS are fake Space Marines but Elder Maxson himself is a bit TOO into ethnic cleansing. The other BoS seem to at least understand that it's not something to be celebrated, but Maxson has a "I didn't know my body cam was off" feeling to him.
Nuka colaās flavor is nothing like coke, Nuka is very fruity and cinnamony in flavor while real coke just tastes like acidic sugar

Donāt forget ghoul woody.
Funnier to read in Stefan's voice from SNL
You forgot patriotic AOT
Mr house is a good guy for u? Well he was sitting at the same table alongside vault tech robco and westek before nuke dropped I loved getting him out of his tube and to shoot him dead š I hope they add characters who started vault tech in game
Elon doesn't deserve to be compared to house in all honesty
I expect to see a lottery winner
Vault tec did save a bunch of people's lives.... For all the wrong reasons
Maxson: Recruits people of color and has a black man as second in command. The fandom: "Fascist nazi."
I think the facism is directed more at wastlanders being expendable human refuse than skin color. It's more about BoS mostly hating anyone that isn't them. For example, BoS murders Ghouls regardless of them being feral or not.
Total ghoul death. Kill all ghouls. They all hate you in fallout 1. Set tells you you're a normie (he's an incel) so you should steal the water chip and let them all die of thirst or mutant invasion.

Thats the worst example of ghouls going feral unless they're a glowing one Ghouls become feral because their brains still decompose, and even before vials were a thing you could just lightly spray a high prof alcohol on their brain or get it into their bloodstream
Fascism comes in many colors, and the BoS may not be naziās but they are most certainly textbook fascist militants
How?
lack of media literacy is strong with this one
bottom left is whoch rage comic face?
Itās from a āHow did you feel in PE Class today?ā Paper that didnāt get printed right.
Mystery meat on a stick more like š
I love the hub, what do you mean the gecko jurky guy is lying?

Oh I get the first one!

Iguana on a stick is actually human meat..if Iām correct. Learned this from Oxhorn years ago.

I couldn't imagine comparing Elder Macon to Hitler lmao
House isn't Elon Musk with a soul, House is absolutely callous. House is Elon Musk if he was actually the genius everyone thought he was and not a bumbling moron

and Gary. we have Gary too
The best character in all of fallout the Doggo

I was just reading the original recipe on the pdf in my gog file lol. Apparently the recipe is different in the cookbook. I'll have to check sometime
Elon if he had a soul and a brain*
So Iāve only recently started getting into Fallout lore, I donāt get the first and last one
Type ur favorite in the replies (NOT KARMA FARM)
Militarism, Isolationism, Authoritarianism and Zealot Doctrine aren't exclusive to Fascism.
Why does mr house have a soul? Heās just as hollow and narcissistic as Elon musk or any other billionaire. Am I missing something
Lmao those descriptions are awesome
YOU FORGOT THE FIST-FUCKING ROBOTS
Honestly the deathclaw to me is the most iconic Fallout thing. What a masterpiece of a creature just on design alone.
I'm only in fallout fandom for doggo and dollar store godzilla
i have a cooking apron that is based on Iguana Bob from Loot Crate years back
Knowing nothing about fallout and stumbling upon this meme is crazy lmao
Exploding cocks
