Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

Depends on the context, but generally bows and arrows seem to be the more useful choice here.

Be a bee or be not a bee?

[Jubal]

I would like to be not a bee, if that is the question. In that I like being a me not a bee.


Be Lara Croft or Super Mario?

[The Seamstress]

When I was a young teen playing Tomb Raider, I wanted to be like Lara Croft, i.e. an adventurer-archaeologist. It's still appealing but I guess my appearance and character are more like Super Mario nowadays (minus the moustache).

Be Super Mario or Luigi?

[Jubal]

Luigi, he wears green


In Fallout: New California Republic or Commonweath Minutemen?

[The Seamstress]

Since I don't know them I'll just pick one at random, so let's say the Republic. From what I know about the game so far (which is admittedly not much) I'm probably in some kind of trouble with either choice I guess.

More spoons (literally) or more spoons (figuratively)?

They're both basically towards the "good" end of Fallout factions: the Republic are much more trying to form an actual democracy, though with a lot of the same flaws as pre-Fallout America: they have safety, some services, taxes, voting, and functional roads, but also cattle barons, a tendency to take over their neighbours, a certain amount of corruption, etc. The Minutemen are more minimalist: in their areas (Massachussetts) they basically form a defensive self-help alliance between settlements, so individual settlements run themselves but contribute volunteer soldiers to the wider effort. This is sort of more voluntary than the Republic with its standing army, but is also therefore not doing anything other than safety basics, it requires the Minuteman general to be a good person because there's not really a state to form a check on them, etc. They're both "trying to do their best but with flaws" in different ways.

Figurative spoons please!

A bird is going to come and live with you. A lesser spotted woodpecker or a yellowhammer?
