    If you brought Ben Franklin into the modern world you’d lose him within a couple hours then find him again in Goodsprings NV hungover and missing his pants.

    Edit: If you read NV as New Vegas and not Nevada you need to turn off the 500+ modded semi corrupt New Vegas install and go read Blood Meridian or something.

      Oh no you’re not putting that on everyone else. It’s American’s fault for just randomly deciding that everybody else should know where AR is. If you’re going to two letter abbreviate places they at least have to be places that the international community has ever heard of, America is full of nowhere places that haven’t turned up in popular media and no one from the international community has ever gone to.

        Nevada has Las Vegas, Reno, Area 51, and half of the Hoover dam. I’m pretty damned sure most folks have at least vaguely heard of the state, also I’m making fun of Fallout fans seeing the abbreviation of NV and reading New Vegas and not Nevada.

        While Nevada isn’t the most notable state it does pop up quite often in popular media thanks to Vegas. It’s not like I’m referring to fucking Salmon Idaho or fucking Hebron Kentucky. Its basically the American version of Normandy or Gdańsk, culturally and historically relevant but firmly in the lower end of the top ten.

      Does it often get attacked by boomers irl too?
