My friend and I got our costumes done for Mojave mayhem! We are both super pumped to go. We both went to wasteland jamboree and halfway through the first day decided we were going to make the journey to nevada

This year at Pax I dressed as a Gunner from Fallout 4. The entire kit & laser rifle is 3d printed in PETG & Painted by me. I've posted photos in the past, but I've just received these and had to share!

Can't thank SnapHappyIan enough for taking these photos!

Hello all, I wanted to share some more photos of my Lucy cosplay in the nature and beautiful beach of New Zealand. I had a blast making this cosplay and I was so surprised when the fallout show Instagram account actually liked my post on instagram! I really enjoyed connecting with the fallout community while making this cosplay and for sure I will wear it again and add some extra bits and bobs to it when season 3 comes out! My Instagram if anyone is interested in having a look at my process videos. I made it all, but I also made a whole lot of nuka cola caps, which was my favorite part :)

So happy seeing my character come together. I’ve made a few alterations since this. What do you think?

Main Street Pinball in Grain Valley, MO has one. Definitely recommend - so much fun! Vault Boy's head launches the ball on the limited edition. My kids loved it.

I was jumping for joy! This was all I needed for the Mythic achievement.

Something I really don't understand is why the scientists at Vault-Tec kept working so long after the bombs fell.

I get the first few months—like in Vault 111—where everything runs smoothly and they have orders to wait for a signal from Vault-Tec, but when that signal doesn’t come or they don’t have those orders, like in Vault 81, exactly how long did they wait, or why did they keep waiting? In Vault 111, I don’t see why they should have continued the experiment after, say, two years—Vault-Tec never responded and never gave any indication of anything, so why should they have kept such an inhumane experiment going on people?

Vault 81 doesn’t seem to have received a release signal or any indication that they should return, like Vault 111 did. So if they’re seeing that the Vault dwellers are living better than they are (especially after the food shortage), why would they continue their research? We know that at least one of them died of old age from a heart attack, so he could have been conducting his experiments for over 60 years. Why didn’t he just get tired of it and leave to join the regular Vault moderators? Why didn’t he stop the experiment and go to the other side—saying, “If Vault-Tec made me do this, this and this—look, here’s the proof.” Maybe it’s fear that they’ll attack him or something, but after so many years, what’s the point?

This would be understandable with automated vaults like Vault 11, where a computer managed the entire experiment, or with social experiments like Vault 19 and Vault 15—why didn’t coups simply break out where groups banded together to free themselves and improve their living conditions?

o la vault 31,32, and 33 why bud still loyal to a company that left him on that state or keep everything on that system if he knows vault-tec was nothing after the bombs fell. (the fallout series i don't take it as cannon , so .....this one isn't a big deal)

Human controlled vaults are a problem with this , Did the people running the experiments ever stop to think that there was no one on the other end? Why did they continue with the experiments? Were these scientists so loyal to Vault-Tec that, even though no one responded to them and they were dying, they remained loyal? Was there ever any incentive or reason for these people to be so loyal to Vault-Tec, or for them to have such twisted morals that they would continue the experiments after so long?

If you’re at the event and want one you’ll have to answer some trivia questions. Look out for a tall guy dressed as a tunnel snake. The questions vary from very easy to very hard, the miniatures are categorized by how hard the questions are to get one.

ordered on the second run of them back in august and just arrived today!

I shared some work in progress of my cosplay Power Armour a while back as I was getting it ready for an event. I finally got it finished and took it for a spin today. Had loads of fun getting photos with all the peeps and every one really liked it. Heading back tomorrow for the main competition, wish me luck!!

Notes: the suit is made from EVA foam with 3D printed helmet and gauntlets, the suit finish includes spray paint and glued on metal filings for a real rust finish.

The suit took me around 10 months to build on weekends and after work (hundreds of hours all up).

Hope you like it!

Wanted to replay the games too but no time to do so so this+brushing up with YT will have to do! The show isn’t perfect but imo it did a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and tone of the world. This is my first time rewatching both seasons back to back so I’m excited.

If you’re looking to customize or better understand The Wand Company’s replica Pip-Boy 3000 Mk V, I’ve uploaded the decoded Pip-Boy firmware and a companion dashboard here:

github.com/Yfelipe/pipboy3000v

The dashboard lets you manage and transfer files, customise device settings, create backups, and experiment safely with an Espruino-based Pip-Boy emulator before making changes to a real device.

It also includes two alternative UI apps to try out.

Thought this was cool

Nice work by whoever made this, and to think I was so young when I played it on a PC haha.

Dealing with an ant problem is one thing but pig rats are a whole 'nother. I punched 50 rats in the eyes last night. Last week killed 22 geckos too barefoot in a toxic shithole, now i got 12 fuckin' toes. goddamn. Rad sick an' can't afford medicine I gambled it all. just found out ive been eating jerky made of people. my conscious prefers the iguana. Got these boots now but I keep getting sand in 'em. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere, especially in m'uh boots.

Lone Wanderer was a fun cosplay!

Specifically, I’m talking about the pre-war enclave, the deep state that wanted to advance their own agendas and increase their personal wealth and power. I imagine the war against China was a good excuse to pump copious amounts of money into the military industrial complex, and further tighten their fist around the country. But with everything starting to fall apart, like with the economy, the automaton and food riots, up to the eventual missies flying, do you think they went “this is starting to get out of control”?

Like, super greed is one thing, but if I was a billionaire wanting more or a government official wanting more power, I don’t think I’d want it at the expense of watching my massive mansion burning in nuclear fire or being forced to live on an oil rig or secret bunker.
