        There’s a mod for that :p

        Maybe we can get a mod for this :)

        Also, if this was in the game, it would probably be a remnant from the time before, when there was grass to mow.

        Someone probably would have converted it to a death robot though.

          Even just as a wrecked static prop it would work.

          Vehicles are possible in the FO engine, NV has a few mods with vehicles.

          This may be an ancient reference… but it should be like the tractor from Forgotten Hope for BF42.

          Literally slowing that walking speed, haha.

    I can well imagine that these are the kinds of things conservative Americans think of when they babble about the good old days.

    Perfect. When climate change makes the outdoors unlivable, but you still really really need your manicured green desert in front of your house. Love it.

      The lawn has been plastic for two decades, since the Earth is unlivable even for grass, but you still like going through the motions.

    This is the future!

    Once the atmospheric CO2 levels rise high enough, this will be sold with an included CO2 scrubber. Then you can mow your lawn without getting symptoms of CO2 poisoning. Like in the good old times in the 2020s!

      Wouldn’t the CO2 levels have to increase massively for that to be an issue? I feel like this is hyperbolic.

        that’s why we engineered the lawn mower to run on only the dirtiest fuel available, and a sufficiently inefficient engine that it consumed 50 liters to mow the average lawn!

    Just plant a garden, smoothskin. You could have berries, flowers, and wildlife instead of a monoculture you can’t digest.

    Also sold under the name “Sunburninator 2000” and “Skin Cancer Deluxe”.

    Using this device with period-adequate lack of sunscreen will turn you into a Fallout character alright.

    Why do you say that? If it’s polycarbonate it would filter out UVa and UVb, like cheap sunglasses. The guy that mows my lawn is in direct sunlight.
