Quick recap for all you filthy normies and tourists.
Fallout TV show came out last week. (It's good actually! 
). According to Bethesda it's fully canon in the fallout universe.
But uh oh! The autists (me 
) got mad because the show heavily implied that a location (NCR Capital in Shady Sands) that is important to the events of Fallout: New Vegas was destroyed in the year 2277. But Fallout New Vegas doesn't happen until 2281. (Again 
)If true this means that the events of Fallout New Vegas could not have occurred as they are depicted in the game. 
But it's all good, Todd the God 
came out today in an interview and established that the location was destroyed after the events of New Vegas; thus the timeline is restored.

What a fricking mess lmao. "
Yeah so uh the capital was destroyed in 2277, which is a date that takes place right after 2281

Why does a world 200 years after the bombs fell still look like a shithole? Nagasaki is a thriving city right now.

In the games the NCR is depicted as being almost prewar. Everything cleaned up, factories, cars, they dropped all that for the show (that should've been set on the east coast but writercels are too ego laden to not make it about hollywood

I still wish Bethesda just made Van Buren set in Denver.

It's like a billion times easier to shoot in the wastelands right around LA for a trillion reasons regardless of the show, but for a post apocolyptic story that happens to have a lot of it take place in Cali and the Mojave, idk cali is a pretty good place to have it

The show takes place in 2296.
Fallout: New Vegas takes place in 2281.
You're kind of r-slurred.

I want to point out that this isnt clarification to save New Vegas from being de-canonized, because it's pretty clear it was done initially to wipe NV from canon and give them their own slate for it.
The reason they're doing it like this is because they forgot that a character in FO4 mentions the NCR elections in passing, and thus their initial canon nuke also de-canonized FO4.

This seems spiteful for no apparent reason. Haven't watched the show yet but what NV plot points do they have to retcon so badly that they would risk upsetting a famously-neurodivergent fanbase?
My problem with the retcon is just it makes the Fallout universe seem fundamentally silly and doomed. "No matter what happens in the story, we will just blow up a bunch of nukes to reset things whenever we feel like."

Maybe if you forget you're talking about Bethesda, they never got over being mogged by New Vegas

Crisis averted. We never should have doubted Todd. With this holy declaration the only criticism of the show is now mute. Can't wait for children's cartoon and Fallout 77

Shady sands even being “fallen” would be a huge deal but it's not referenced ever in the previous games so this whole thing is r-slurred Bethesdshit slop. Don't even get me started on the power players decided to just nuke the world and run dumb experiments cause they're mustache twirling evil guys
I will at some point write a long post about the dumb shit of this tv show despite kind of liking it for what it is

This site has done nothing but bring me down as a person. everyday i come in here and all you do is tear me down insult me hurt me with your words and do nothing but harm me emotionally physically mentally and I just can't take it any longer this site is so abusive and toxic it's crazy. no one even realizes how disgusting all of your behaviors are. every single time I talk or type or even do anything or interact with anyone on the site everybody just goes against me and gangs up on me like a pack of wolves and just attacks me and i didn't do anything to deserve these attacks and these hurtful words. i literally just try to be nice to everybody but nobody ever wants to be in my shoes and nobody ever tries to sympathize with me and see where I'm coming from all of you just see me as the enemy and as the bad guy that's trying to ruin the site or something when really I'm just trying to spread positivity. you guys act like I'm some kind of virus or disease, constantly casting me out so much, making me feel so left out and so alone in this site. it's fricking driving me insane I feel mental and I feel like a weirdo just being around all of you because of how you treat me. at this point in time, I've given up on ever trying again and ever becoming any of your friends because I just know your feelings towards me clearly. i know all of you hate me and never want to be around me again or never have anything to do with me. it's clear that you all think I'm a joke and that I'm stupid, idiotic and boring. it's so mean because I literally don't do anything to you guys but you guys always act like you hate me and it makes me feel so confused because I don't know what I did to deserve it. I feel like I should just leave because clearly nobody wants to be around me and everyone would be happier if i left anyways so i'll just go and i hope all of you find happiness in life and i'm sorry for all the troubles i've ever put any of you through. i give up. goodbye.
