Speedrunning to have sex in the Fallout series by tomatoanus [YouTube] “Speedrunner tomatoanus, who you may remember from his world record Fallout anthology speedrun (and his rather colourful username), has returned with yet another wacky video. Not content with whizzing through Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas and 4 in under 90 minutes, tomatoanus' latest speedrun is all about sex. Specifically, getting it as fast as possible. Like a night out in Magaluf. Similar to his other world record speedruns, tomatoanus played through the games considered by the community to be the "main" titles in the Fallout series, with the goal being to have sex in each game as quickly as possible. This apparently has its own unofficial category, called a "sex%" run, and has already been attempted by a number of speedrunners in Fallout 4 (check out these ones by Jinjenia and Duchys).” [via: Eurogamer]

tinder needs this dry narration as part of the app, like a golf tournament commentator but for swiping.

Once you started to lose you would probably keep losing, because one of the effects of Janx Spirit is to depress telepsychic power. As soon as a predetermined quantity had been consumed, the final loser would have to perform a forfeit, which was usually obscenely biological.

Ford Prefect usually played to lose.[1

Did not expect surprise Pepe. That kind of soured me on this.

And, to absolutely be that person, a quick note that the Jinjenia link concludes with him beating the woman he has had sex with to death with an extendable baton.

Damn. I didn't know about the Pepe. My apologies.

This did kind of twing my dudebro-worst-side-of-gaming sensors when youtube started recommending it a few days ago. I fucking love the fallout games, and love that they were so free and unrestricted in what you could do. Guess it was pretty inevitable that the gamer world would reduce that to "lol sex".

Judging only from the description provided, I personally find this extremely unsurprising. I feel like there’s a good deal of overlap between right-wing internet reactionaries and people who are really into the idea of sex as conquest (virtual or no).

I did not even know there was a sex mechanic in FO4. I played that game for over 100 hours but I can't recall a character I'd have even wanted my PC to have sex with, I barely tolerated them toting along on my adventure in the worst game I've ever beaten. This is an amusing speedrun category for certain, sex/relationship mechanics are hilariously awful and problematic and this is a natural extension.
