arcade is the best but the yes man ending is unconditionally the best thing ever

after you shoot your way into the fake Romans' base and deal with the centurion there, the NCR general shows up and is all like "great job kid, we'll take it from here" and then a horde of soldier robots roll up behind him and you get to go "actually I've got this from here, gently caress off" and it rules.

holy poo poo I might go replay just for that

Right? It boggles the mind.

Playing video games does not make you a "Nerd" either. Making your whole life about video games does make you a Nerd.

Saying "only Nerds like Star Wars" or "only Nerds play video games" is complete nonsense in this day and age.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:

As a Millennial myself, I found accusations of our sensitivity, narcissism, and sense of entitlement to be personally offensive and dismissed them as wholly unfounded. However, after I started my own business I came to a startling realization.

According to a recent study performed by Red Brick Research, over 80% of hiring managers claim that their Millennial employees display narcissistic tendencies. Perhaps even more troubling, only 27% of managers believe that their young employees are team players. The negative sentiment expressed by the hiring managers surveyed stands in stark contrast to the view that Millennials have of themselves. For example, over two-thirds of those surveyed see themselves in a management role in the next five years. At the same time, 58% of the same respondents reported that they intended to stay in their current role for fewer than three years. Unsurprisingly, 52% of Millennials viewed the concept of employee loyalty as being overrated. When asked about what they value in a job, the top three responses were exciting work, flexibility, and control.

To be honest, the statistics that the study presented filled me with dread. It turns out I was a lot more of a typical Millennial than I thought. Prior to founding BodeTree, the longest I�ve ever stuck with a job was just over three years. I always held the opinion that I should be in management, and I viewed loyalty to a company as antiquated as the concept of pensions. These traits seemed perfectly reasonable at the time, but now that I owned my own business I found my expectations changing.

Once I was in charge, I found that the very traits I rebelled against earlier in my career were the ones I found most valuable in my employees. The best members of my team were loyal, dedicated, and humble. I expected that most people we hired would have these traits hardwired to some extent, and that overall performance would fall in the middle of the typical bell curve.

My Millennial employees, however, were frequently unable to cope with tasks that were boring but necessary, and their performance suffered as a result. At the same time, salary expectations were high, praise was expected, and everyone believed they should be in a leadership role. In short, much was expected from the company with very little provided in return.

lol gently caress this guy
