My favorite ever pronoun story has to be one of my German professor’s. He fondly remembers being mugged by a gang of teenagers in Dresden, who used Sie (formal you) the entire time.
So there’s a Pip-Boy app? And it does exactly what it says on the tin. You can control your Pip-Boy from your phone. But… why.
Like maybe if you’ve got someone sitting there watching you play, you can let them navigate, select quests, feed you in battle, whatever… but how many people have someone sitting there (that you’d trust with your character’s pip-boy) who would do that? And why on earth would you ever pull up your pip-boy in game and then move to your phone to operate it?
Now… if I could just turn off the player’s arrow on the map, I’d have it open for that purpose. (I’m playing with no ‘activated’ quests or locations so there are no hovering arrows pointing me in the right direction… and having a to-the-foot gps system tracking me on my map isn’t quite fitting with the rest of it.)
My brother uses the app to prank me. He’ll be in his room and he’ll turn it on to turn my radio on and give me a jump scare, or strip my character naked so I get gunned down in a fight. Back when I was lucky I could shoot anything, he’d copilot and stimpak my character when needed. So it used to work!
