When Phantom was upset about missing notes during a ritual, overthinking and scared that Papa might kick him out of the band, Dew showed him that video of himself absolutely butchering his solo in Faith. The one where he mimicks shooting himself in the head.
It made Phantom feel better.

i dont know anything about fallout except its a wild west postnuclear survivor game and there’s a jaunty lil dude who’s always giving you a thumbsup? Anyway i would love to know your thoughts on water collection/distribution and/or the economy of mended stuff.
sorry your brain is on the brink
In the context of fallout? The post-nuclear Water economy is the backbone of three different games; the plot of the first involves you getting kicked out of your fancy underground Bunker City in order to find replacement parts for the water filtration system, and the rudimentary post-apocalyptic society you explore uses a currency backed on the water standard (in lieu of the Gold Standard- one bottlecap for one bottle of water.). Water Merchants (those with access to water towers, etc) are power players in the nascent political ecosystem. The (not-very-well-considered) plot of the third game involves trying to get a widespread water purification program working for the DC area. And the central conflict of New Vegas (sometimes referred to as "the really good one,") consists of the local powers brawling over control of the still-functional Hoover Dam due to the control it would provide over the regions freshwater and electricity supply.
I liked New Vegas's take on the scavenged-equipment economy the best. The setting shift to Nevada (previous games by the same writing team being in California) is in part meant to reflect that people back west have simply run out of old-world materials to scavenge, and are now back to living in actual cities that they build out of novel materials, eating food they grow and cook- which makes for a boring place to set a game, hence the shift to the "frontier" of Vegas, where you'll encounter neo-western "prospectors" (scavengers) looking for new claims to tap for pre-war resources to supplement what re-industrialized society can produce. Many of the weapons and armor-sets you use and fight against are encountered in a mad-max style environment, but many of them aren't implausibly-still-in-use antiques- they're being manufactured by a largely off-screen 21st-century-styled liberal-democratic society that's rebuilt enough to redevelop mass consumption and arms conglomerates, the negative externalities of which are spilling out to affect those on the frontier.

(Kit and Monnk seeing the Wolfpack with maroon armor and Plo casually wandering around)
Kit: Such a nice team around there right?
Monnk: No sir, just Wolffe being really polite with his limits.
Kit: Excuse me what?
Monnk: Wolffe always hates and afraid of netborn because he thinks they could hurt him or his brothers. He will kill everyone including his own general and himself if anything happens to his Pack.
Kit: Well that's scary but seems fair.
Monnk: At least general Koon seems managed to get Wolffe's trust, Wolffe is not biting anything or anyone like the time in kamino.
Kit: I see. It's hard to hate master Plo unless you have evil desires and diseased mind.
Monnk: Guess I can agree with that sir.
(Many months passed, Kit and Monnk seeing Wolfpack again but with gray armor and and Plo with Wolf art on his vambraces)
Kit: Ah, there are they again! It's always good to see they...
Monnk: HOLY KRIFF HE DID IT, HE ACTUALLY DID IT.
Kit: Excuse me commander what did I miss?
Monnk: The general, general Plo Koon, is wearing Wolf patterns, the proof of Pack. He didn't just get their trusts and respect, he actually managed to invited as a member of the Pack.
Kit: Wait, that vambraces are gifted from Wolfpack, right?
Monnk: Yes, Wolffe will never let anyone wear their signs who is not in Pack.
Kit: That's heartwarming.
Monnk: Now Wolffe will kill everyone and himself if anything happens to his Pack that includes his general Koon.
Kit: Well that's still scary but seems fair.
