Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.
Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

this is great for two reasons
1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly
2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

![4-panel comic. (1) [Roomba next to two people] PERSON 1 to Person 2 with white hat: The Roomba keeps my floor clean. But what do I do when the *Roomba* gets dirty? (2) PERSON 1: Simple: I got a second Roomba and a ramp, so they can clean each other. [a second Roomba takes ramp to be on top of first Roomba] (3) PERSON 1: After the tops are clean, I flip one of them over so they can clean each others’ undersides.

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story…
