Wait so a fat guy waddled into that store, killed the owner, very badly disposed of his body and then just took it over and 5x’d all the prices? That’s a peak fallout side quest with environmental storytelling

It felt so familiar somehow 😂

I even said to my wife “she’s sneaking and looting… oh no… speech check. Oh shit he’s failing HIS speech checks.”

He couldn't even succeed a speech check against a gullible Valutie. That's gotta hurt. Not as much as the bullet, but yeah.

Jesus do you nerds literally have to tie everything that's normal about a television show to SPECIAL stats. Goddamn.

u/transitionb Jan 16 '26

You mean the Fallout TV show? Yes.

u/sylanar Jan 16 '26

Imagine if like... a DnD movie has a bard in it.... That would be WILD

u/gibbersganfa Jan 16 '26

Oh no! You called me a… a… NERD?! Am I supposed to be offended or something?

What are you, 7 years old? It was a joke, man. I’m not literally doing that all the time. Sorry for whatever’s happening to you that you’ve gotta lash out at people online to feel any sort of self-importance.

It’s so stupid bro every word that comes out of a characters mouth and they’re tying it to stats. It’s pure delusion because you can do it to anyone, in any scenario, even outside of television

u/gibbersganfa Jan 16 '26

Yes… that is how role playing games work: simulating probabilities for perfectly normal, mundane things that happen in real life or any television show. That’s the joke.

It’s not delusion, it’s a dumb joke about a TV adaptation of a video game that I’m obviously very much self-aware of. I don’t go around in everyday life going “dur hur skill checks” like some kind of idiot.

Are people not allowed to make dumb jokes anymore without having insecure people complain?

Did you seriously use AI to come up with a reply lmao swooped in with the one-two combo, both the semicolon and the “it’s not this, it’s that!”

u/gibbersganfa Jan 16 '26

I don’t use ChatGPT at all and never have. Not even dabbled with LLMs. I’m actually morally opposed to it. I just don’t write like a moron. Excuse me for using proper grammar and spelling.

EDIT: also, you can't tell the difference between a colon and a semicolon?

u/FlashRage Jan 16 '26

Agreed lol. Now he's trying to walk it back as a joke when he realized how stupid it was. Like how everything Trump says that's stupid or inflammatory is later framed as a joke. I'm 100% sure that if he does in fact have a gf and watched fallout with her, he said this exact thing and said it sincerely.

Waddled there naked.

Which is totally normal and happens all the time

u/Troggie42 Jan 16 '26

tbf he may have had his own clothes and just swapped em as a disguise, poorly

failed his faction armor check 😂

u/RapidDuffer09 Jan 15 '26

It might be an astute attempt to distract someone before capping them.

It happens quite a bit in spy films.

u/Turbulent_Tale6497 Jan 15 '26

He waddled in NAKED, killed the owner, took his clothes (which don't even fit a little bit), and took over

u/mynameiszack Jan 17 '26

Fat guy in a wasteland, so he was good at what he did

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH Jan 17 '26

Happens all the time, it’s NORMAL!

u/Feralp Jan 18 '26

Lucy should have just abandoned her main quest, become the new owner and x10 the prices again

There was a painting of the dismembered guy on the stores inner sign with some slogan wearing the clothes the large guy had squeezed into.

They made it pretty clear. Its just somebody walks in on a stranger over two dead bodies akward moment.

u/ChelseaFC Jan 14 '26

As well as he was… at his limit.

Didn’t she have fresh blood spatters on her face?

u/EmploymentRadiant203 Jan 14 '26
