Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

He sent me this picture and a video clip and all but explicitly threatened to chase me around with a rubber/foam mallet like whack-a-x games use. Because he wants to play "whack a commie".

Damn, I really hate the Red Scare.

I completely missed that. Although when doing nuka world was not paying much attention

Yeah, it's all just part of that Cold War America vibe that Fallout as a world captures beautifully. I dunno. Some commies really hate it because of the people who like it unironically, but I really love it in an ironic sense. Like, I miss the Cold War because I miss the USSR, but I also kinda miss the aesthetics of the Western world at the time, y'know? So yeah, Fallout makes fun of the Cold War in a way that hits perfectly for me.
