How were you supposed to know it makes you gay?

>makes you gay
You control the dialogue options you press.

>>725550754 (OP)
it doesn't make you gay
it just gives you the option to flaunt your tight boipussy when applicable

Ngl I always thought Bachelors are just volcels

>>725551872
That's the point. Bachelor is both a literal and slang term. Its either someone who doesn't have sex with a woman for a while, usually during early adulthood, to avoid the tethers of marriage etc. or someone who is homosexual.

>>725551872
I dont think cofirmed bachelor is a term that can be slangified

>>725550754 (OP)

It was a newspaper term when they were fairly sure a celebrity was gay but didn’t want to sued by saying it outright.

>>725552826
Things is zoomers don't know what the term confirmed bachelor would mean. They probably call someone like that "Booty ahh blud".

>>725550754 (OP)
Sad thing is even with the gay perk Black Widow is still far better because it has more "I win" dialogue options

why am i not surprised

What really shocks me about this sort of thing (and sort of related, the infamous [glass him]) is people have access to the largest collection of human knowledge readily available allowing - in mere moments and clicks - to seek out the definition of words and phrases yet this is a seemingly an impossible task.

I suppose these days reading a dictionary is the literacy equivalent of "you didn't beat the game".

I'm not going to consult a guide every single time I'm not certain about the consequences of a decision.

Is +10% damage really that impactful

>>725553864
It tells you what it does at the perk select screen. So now we've gone from not knowing the term confirmed bachelor to flat out being unable to read.

>>725553864
If you stumble across an unfamiliar phrase or strangely worded term, the correct thing to do is consult a dictionary. The writers can't be expected to write to appease retarded ESLs like you.

>>725553917
No, it's an rp perk you pick for the added dialogue. It hardly matters anyway since the game is so easy.

If I ever make a videogame (lol, as if that'd happen) I'll be sure to make any perks like this say something like "turns you into a mega gaylord"

>>725553917
It's not supposed to be impactful. The main purpose of the perk is to RP a gay dude. The systemic 10% damage benefit is just a little extra so that you don't feel bad for wasting a perk point to be gay.

>>725550754 (OP)
I thought this would make you better at outing gays via dialogue choices and killing them.

>>725553917
Nah, just sneak Ratslayer bro. The dialogue choices might be worth it tho (iirc Knight gives you free repairs but that also might’ve been a mod since he says he does but actually doesn’t)

Shouldn't a gay man deal bonus damage to women

If you feel sexual attraction towards men but never have sex with a man, does that make you gay?

Yeah, that makes you a gaycel

>>725552450
>thinking about dicks makes his damage go up against them
It's worse than that. Your character has a fetish for circumcision.

>>725550754 (OP)
Doesn't the extra damage mean you hate men? I don't get it. Hurting = Bad, thus hurting men should not indicate a positive interest in other men.

>>725554747

From the Wiki. The option is just dogshit afterall, I thought he would give you free repairs permanently. Him suddenly becoming substantially worse at it also doesn’t click

I dunno why people thinking this is gay. I fucked my best bro and he fucked me, I sucked him off sometimes and he would do it to me. I would kiss him in the neck and say "i love you, bro" with a smile. And I'm pretty happy with my wife and she understands that this is what bros do as a nice gesture sometimes. But I wouldn't ever do this with another man I don't know, because THAT would be gay.

Huh?

>>725554447
No, there are millions of English speakers across the world and they do not share all patterns of language. There are terms certain people wouldn't know.
This doesn't mean you should police yourself to talk like you're speaking to a toddler. It's a PC game. The player has internet access. He can google a term and see what it means, and if he can't for some reason, he can grasp it via context or just content himself with misunderstanding one line.

>>725555620
[glass him]

>>725555589
You picked the perk that makes him gay. You could have not done that.

>>725555707
Yeah, it takes five seconds to google "glass someone" and discover it means "hit them with a bottle"

I s2g zesty ass zoomers are intentionally taking it and going "ooooooh no now I HAVE to be gay!"

>>725553163
Tbf it was a euphemism for fags in the 50s-70s which Fallout use as a basis for their universe. It might still have been understood immediately in the 90s when fallout 1 came out but it would probably mean nothing to zoom zoom half of which are incels (and thus confirmed bachelors).

A skill zoomers completely lack. I don't remember people whining about [Glass him] back when it came out. Only recently when zoomies got onto the Internet did this start becoming a thing.

>>725557357
I do, it was a minor meme here.

>>725557769
But how much of that was legit people not understanding compared to people just memeing? These days I can't tell if people are seriously or not.

>>725557871
It was legit people not understanding, which makes sense considering it's British slang

>>725553163

ITT

>>725558596
I bet if it said
>cringe his rizz blud
it would've been understood far more.

>>725557357
Deductive reasoning is literally why people got confused with “Glass him”. The context was some dude whining at a bar, you could see how someone could intuit that as meaning something in the same vein as “give him a toast”

Mind you, I knew what [Glass Him] meant, but because I have object permanence I can understand how people make the mistake. It is wholly different than the confirmed bachelor situation which is a selectable park in a menu and not an active dialogue choice.

Millennial writing once again proving to be utter shit.

>>725555317
When I see an urbanite hipster crashing his novelty 19th century bicycle in front of the Whole Foods, my only thought is "This asshole probably thinks I should have to pay off his student loans."

FNV while it's excellency was the 1st game who game me LGBT+ fatigue, I was a bit intrigued by femnine manners of Josh Sawyer, but also.. the lesbian highway character, Arcade Gannon... and that dialogue with a random NPC on the strip admits his gayness at the 2nd line of dialogue and who wants to have sex with a robot. felt like it was written by degenerate californians.

>>725551872
A bachelor is a guy who's single. A confirmed bachelor is someone will always be single, because he's gay. It's a euphemism from a time when homosexual relationships were scarcely tolerated, so fags were confirmed to be single for their entire life.

>>725555317
When old good new bad is applied in the real world.

>>725550754 (OP)
You have to option to tell another man that you want to suck their dicks IRL too, does that make you gay?
the answer is yes you little gayboy

Why do people *actually* get so hell bent out of shape for having a bi curious moment ever? Like my guy it's 2025, unless you're in a place where you get stoned for it, you're fine kissing a dude and tugging his cock a bit.

You guy your own cock all the time and god doesn't give a shit about that.

>>725563313
It is anons deluding themselves.

massage is always sexual with american because they are gay perverts. confirmed bachelor just means an incel too.

>>725552450
Not just speaking to men. Just seeing a man in the distance is enough to increase your heart rate, allowing you to hit harder and make more precise shots for that extra 10% damage.

Depends, anything below hard with survival turned off doesnt matter much if you want to min max, but its basically free 10% dmg half the time you're fighting humans which adds up alot from the other free dmg perks you'll accumulate.
so choose it if you are doing hard mode runs (and difficulty mods if u have those)
and if ur worried about making ur character gay just not choose any of the perk dialogue options

>>725564424
Forgot to add if ur doing ncr or any non Caesar related runs its basically free damage the entire game at that point

I suppose it's feasibly possible to be in a situation where +10% damage is the best perk option you've got remaining to you, but to do so you'd have to monumentally fuck up your character build.

It's a great perk because it gives you +10 damage against males. Most of the enemies are men.

>>725553864
you should consult to the bare minimum of life experience which would make you immediately be able to understand the meaning of these concepts. its not the developers fault that you are a 30 year old neet with the life experiences of someone who peaked at 12 years old.

Confirmed bachelor is a dated term, but the game is set culturally in a frozen mid century arc so it fits. You just gotta google if context clues don't get you there. Also the only thing that makes you gay is being attracted to and acting on attraction to men. Strategic flirting and flattery is most of what the perk is, and a smart fella can know how to employ this on anyone to his advantage regardless of actual orientation.

"confirmed bachelor" is an old euphemism for a gay dude, because the implication of having no interest in marriage is that said bachelor is into dudes.

>>725550754 (OP)
I wasn't familiar with the term either when I was a lad but because I have at least 100 IQ I used context clues to avoid becoming gay
