So. I started playing the Fallout games (specifically 4 and 76) after my husband passed away; it was one of his favorite game universes.

Thoughts I have had while playing Fallout games:

1. They can keep the Prydwen in the air and they have vertibirds (which, admittedly, do seem to have about -100000 HP) but not cars or motorcycles? (Yes, I'm aware of the one car, New Vegas, I think? One of the games my husband played a lot, along with 3)

2. Have you noticed THE SHEER NUMBER OF BOTTLES OF ANTIFREEZE in kitchens?

Love the games so much.

I’ve had The Click videos on in the background today while cleaning and pretending to be a responsible functioning adult. I know he loves D&D, and several times today I’ve heard something along the lines of “I need to make a D&D character like this” or that something should be in a D&D campaign.

I also know he loves dad jokes. It always makes me smile because my late husband was a big gamer and was the absolute KING of dad jokes and puns.

Over the course of the day today I heard dad jokes and D&D references several times in different videos, and it reminded me of something that happened in a game he participated in.

It was long enough ago that I don’t remember the exact circumstances, but his character was in battle and the DM had him roll. I should add here that my husband was very creative and could sometimes frustrate a DM’s planned game.

So. His character was facing certain death. Hubby’s roll was perfect. So……a cow fell out of the sky and killed the enemy.
