    Hello there. I’m a mid twenties man living in current day, working part time in a home improvement store, and I live alone in a ten bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan with my meticulously groomed pure bred dog, have twelve pack abs, perfectly coiffed hair, and am rewarded with the equally beautiful woman for criminally stalking her throughout the movie and ultimately forcing myself upon her.

    Movies are ridiculous. Ridiculous sells tickets or streams or whatever makes movies money these days.

      Hi I am a reluctant hero who sometimes gets shot but only in fleshy muscles where the bullet always misses major blood vessels, tendons and bones. I also can still hear fine even after firing dozens of rounds indoors without any ear protection.

      We should hang out some time.

      Yeah, by stuffing moss and bundles of cotton in their knickers. If it’s a choice of that or stocking up on pads when I’m raiding Tesco, I know which one I’d rather

        Cloth works well enough that in extreme survival situation you might forego pads in favour of food or drink.

          I can’t speak for all women but I think I’d try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn’t cause thrush and other infections

          Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes

            I think tampons are older invention than bullets. I know tampons have been used for battlefield wounds, but I don’t think that’s their original intended use.

            Tampons are useless for wounds as they typically hold less than 30mL/1oz of fluid. If you have a large wound that is bleeding despite applying pressure, use a tourniquet (which you can make out of any sufficiently strong fabric and a stick)

    To be fair the jacket could have also been from one of her brothers. She had 15 brothers so she knows how to handle herself.

    On the other hand: i dont play games to enjoy while thinking about being dirty, having ill fitting clothes, running out of medicine and period products, etc.

    Thats all irritating stuff i have to worry about in reality.

    I dont want to have to think about those things in game; those arent fun mechanics.

        Would make speedrunning weirder than it is. “Alright we are choosing the male here because females are trash and we ain’t got time for feminine products.”

          new vegas, choose to play as a woman so you can seduce the correct person and get an advantage

          though precisely because it is postapocalyptic it’s less of an advantage than you’d think, because the NCR can’t exactly afford to not put women in positions of power if they’re competent, and a shotgun does tend to even the field somewhat…
