House Always Wins - Lemmy.World

Whatever happened to linking to actual source content?
Not being in a news sub?
Nah. Forums and Reddit ( old Reddit ) had pretty high standards for a while there. People would get chewed out for using screen shots or have half assed posts.
Genuinely, this could be good marketing for the TV show that Amazon could do - would just have to make it clear somehow that Mr. House wasn’t involved in the show.
I mean he literally was in the show though, and seeing that the teaser for season 2 is literally New Vegas… Well, the current state of the NCR says that they probably didn’t win at Hoover dam. And the fact that there’s still lights on say that it’s probably not Caesar’s legion that won either.

Bethesda and the show runners themselves have said that Shady Sands destruction came only months after the war for the Dam which the NCR won. The show itself also mentions that Shady Sands was basically revenge for them winning the Hoover Dam. But we know not which faction nuked 'em. Enclave? Brotherhood? The Legion (which would be weird since they don’t use technology)? House? Possibly even Benny/Yes Man/player protagonist character.

Edit: Oh man… They could even write it as a gigantic joke; Shady Sands coincidentally was wiped off the map shortly after the events of NV by Fantastic when he accidentally activated the Archimedes II orbital cannon inside Helios One.

Unless I misunderstood the show, it was very directly stated that the overseer had nuked shady sands as an act of fuck you to his ex-wife
My understanding was that but it wasn’t because of his ex more so that any successful civ would undermine the concept of his vault recolonizing the world.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think it’s about 50% of each
yeah but the ncr includes regular surface dwellers too. probably the idea is more like that of the enclave in fallout 3; wipe out all the “mutants” and repopulate from there
Lucy’s dad? I might have zoned out through that… I watched it all in one long go so the last few episodes are hazy. 😅
Yeah some justification that he needed to do it so eventually him and the rest of the ceos from the vault could take over and half that he was vindictive prick and wanted his wife ( the ghoul Lucy mercy kills that’s chained to the table at the end) to have nothing and to be without any respite now that she had forsaken his control and the vault
This needs a spoiler alert
If you can tell me what to do to do that I will edit it
The problem is the tags don’t actually seem to translate through apps and the Fediverse so I’ve just been going old school and saying SPOILERS AHEAD

Who the fuck wrote that headline?

House is not an anti-hero.

The word “gaming” in gaming journalist is often a caveat not a qualifier.
I just wanna say, that I absolutely hate the Vegas Sphere for all it is and stands for. Thank you.
What does it stand for? I’ve been to Vegas quite a bit in the past couple years and have seen it plenty of times.
The inequality of wealth for the American people. Who needs this giant neon-billboard? Each year it’s getting more difficult to make ends meat. Especially for a city in a desert you would think a better investment ought to go to water or poverty instances. But no, look at the pretty lights. Isn’t that cool for an hour? Well you’re stuck with it for as long as you live there.
it stands for “fuck your eyes”
I don’t hate everything about it but this is the most idiotic thing to start a fundraiser for.
Well I’m not talking about the fundraiser specifically. Just the Vegas Sphere in general. Apart form it being a total eyesore. It is nothing but a colossal, all enveloping ad. That’s all it is and can ever be. A total mocking display of current day capitalism. I feel so bad for all the people being forced every night to view this glorified neon-billboard.
Ah yes, the sphere, before they put that monstrosity up Vegas was a shining beacon of anti consumption, fighting the tenets of capitalism one casino at a time. Definitely a current day thing, no history of anything of this sort in Vegas.
Alright touché. But I much rather have an ad working from the inside (aka a casino) than an ad working from the outside. Case in point Las Vegas, once again, just a got a little worse to live in.
It even looks like a snowglobe. House indeed always wins.
