The game where you could zap children to death with a raygun getting offended by a CEO who’s actions sentenced untold scores to death getting his comeuppance? Oh yeah, it’s reddit bootlicker time.
Remember, these are the same people who think the Enclave are cool
We need to take video games away from G*mers. They can’t be trusted around them.
Every time they miss clearly stated text, we take a hammer to their gaming hand
Or the Brotherhood of Steel for that matter. Then again I guess its not surprising given their IRL interest in techno fascism…
It’s funny because my foundational memory of the BoS is getting sent to The Glow on a suicide mission
They made a powerful enemy that day
It’s kind of funny that the canonical ending of Fallout 1 was
The Brotherhood of Steel helps the other human outposts drive the mutant armies away with minimal loss of life, on both sides of the conflict. The advanced technology of the Brotherhood is slowly reintroduced into New California, with little disruption or chaos. The Brotherhood wisely remains out of the power structure, and becomes a major research and development house
And in Fallout 2 they’re barely in it. Only in the late game giving you some cool stuff to use against the Enclave (implants, power armour).
I wish factions had been allowed to fizzle out and new ones arise, just like how Fallout 1 had the Union of Atomic Workers who were already pretty much wiped out by the time you enter the scene.
“but I liked [redacting] the [prostitute character] it’s totally different!!!”
The killing kids in Fallout 1 and 2 is complicated. Because I think the edgiest people do it for a joke.
But I remember one time when I was playing the game when I was probably too young for it, I had a random encounter with Raiders attacking farmers. I swooped into rescue the farmers and as we moped up, one of my companions let burst with an SMG, missed a raider and killed a child instantly. Then the enraged farmers, men and women, turned and starting attacking us with their fists, and my other companions started gunning them down, as I genuinely panicked. In a cold sweat I looked over their dead bodies and reloaded my save.
And like I still remember that now, as a powerful random moment in a videogame.
Oh yeah, it’s reddit bootlicker time.
the amount of support that this ass hat gets online is astounding to me; why do they like him so much?
I don’t follow, who are you talking about?
social media outside of lemmy has a LOT more people condemning than condoning the assassin.
That’s disappointing but not surprising for anglos.
agreed, but the extent to which is mind blowing for me since part of me was hoping that americans were getting better at understanding why our situations suck after the election and this sort of response is making it crystal clear that we’re at least generations away from that kind of understanding; i just hope that their efforts to solidify ukraine’s leverage against trump or our unwavering support for isreal doesn’t push us into ww3 before that happens.
They politicised Fallout. Fallout.
You gain Karma in New Vegas for killing Van Graffs and Omertàs, idk how this is different.
okay I retract my original comment about that being a possible makeshift weapon. If I had to hazard a guess that looks like a USP with a very fancy suppressor. Further reinforcing my other assertion that this was a professional hit job.
That CEO guy must have pissed off some VERY nasty people.
This image looks like it was touched up by AI. I would hold judgements like this until more information is available. But I can assure you that you are correct in your assumption: all CEOs have pissed off people, nasty or otherwise.
okay well I rewatched the video and I still hold the view that it was a professional job.
professional just means someone was paid to do it, you can be a skilled amateur
That’s not the same gun, the image is edited
Why would a professional hitman engrave their bullets though
Well so far they haven’t been caught
Everyone keeps coming out with these wild takes, it isn’t hard to use a gun and aquire a suppressor. This could be anyone, doing this for any reason.
Oh my god he used a suppressor, must be a pro hitman
Also this is an edited photo, the gun doesn’t have a suppressor in this image.
nah he was clearing malfs, not cycling a welrod clone
sucks that they have a pic of his face
but also, new site emoji??
its definitely not him
I was just going with what the article claimed
yeah i was just letting you know
that would be crazy
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
This image doesn’t look right…
It is most certainly a fallout gun photoshopped in for the bit
I think it’s meant to be a browning HI power with pearl grips, like Maria the gun Benny shoots you with at the start of New Vegas.
I heard the sparkle sound
Why? Everyone loves the Mysterious Stranger.
They do have a big iron on they hip
