I think the word tankie has been appropriated by the left in the same way the word chud has been appropriated by the right. We use the word tankie to refer to ourselves unironically, even though the word itself originated with the right.
Speaking of the word chud, I try not to say it anymore. The right wing just sort of owns it now and it’s like saying based, cucked, cringe, or woke. I don’t expect to be taken seriously when using these words. But tankie, I think I can be taken seriously at least among leftists by calling myself that.
(Meta) confirmed bachelor/lady killer combo isn’t bad, it just isn’t great. The damage bonus is okay, but human npcs are only maybe half of all npcs in the game and out of the human npcs most of them are male. The dialogue choices you get from both traits are useful but knowing this game like how the people who go to watch Rocky Mountain horror picture show know every line, i usually prefer to use violence to get what I want.
Perk slots are the most valuable thing in this game, I prefer perks that provide combat bonuses. Light touch is great for critical builds, rapid reload is good for shooting, heave ho is good for explosives, and these are just level two perks. Confirmed bachelor/black widow are still “meta” in that the damage bonus they provide against male human npcs is useful (femme fatale/lady killer not so much).
Unless I’m going for a max damage possible or speech build, I usually avoid these two perks. Now you may think that doing less damage is bad, it’s not. Even on very hard enemies in this game are incredibly weak if you prepare carefully. What I want in perks is utility and synergy with other perks. If you pick the right perks, you don’t need vats.
Personally I believe that food should be distributed solely in a cafeteria setting so that it would be easier to exclude certain foods from peoples diets.
Go around the war memorials and call everyone there fascists. Just do not shut up about how great China and North Korea are. Carry around the communist manifesto and stand on the street harassing everyone in broken Japanese about how great Karl Marx is, also buy an anime body pillow, as anime is the only good thing to come out of Japan. You would fit right in, everyone would love you. Also when on the train it’s customary to play your music over the speaker phone as well as eat gas station sushi with your mouth open. But please wear a mask!
