Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

    I read that tweet as something that wasn’t really about Fallout: New Vegas, and more as something using it as a vehicle for a joke (about adult women being nostalgic for the games they played as teenage boys).

      From what I’ve heard New Vegas is also one of the games with special meaning in the trans community. Celeste is another (slightly more obvious) one.

        The joke is partly that lots of trans women in particular enjoyed this game in particular, so plenty of people who noticed the switcheroo in the tweet will still see it as an opportunity to talk about the game rather than seeing the game as something irrelevant that could be swapped out for another.

      I’m sure you could swap it out for other things and it would still work, like OOT or something.
