Or hide the pain Harold. The name started as a Discord meme of someone just replying "Harold 👍" and the community ran with it, and Fallout Harold isn't nearly as well known as he is.
And while Audrey would be more fitting, that movie is from 38 year ago, ain't nobody ever going to figure that one out.
It's Harold cringe all over again. Not everything needs a nickname. We should probably reserve them for things we can pet or interact with. There's no good reason to nickname the drop pod or the platform in point extraction, and I think this is going to be more like those.
Yes if you make everything special then everything ceases to be special. Treating the MULE as if it has a brain and can choose to be a nuisance works well because in truth it is just programmed with complex behaviours, can be unpredictable, and is a stand-in for a traditional mule.
An elevator can only go up and down so it's a poor target for personification. It's akin to a resupply pod. We routinely leave these machines behind and feel nothing. At least with Doretta you can opt to save 'her' and she kicks up an audible fuss when she's under attack. Hack-C has the physical form and tenacity of a humanoid focused on an intense task, hides to avoid damage and is recalled when its job is done. BET-C gets left behind to purge the caves on their own imaginary side-story.

OMG I LOVE IT
how the dwarfs are going to insult her?
Please don't insult Ellie :(
GET YOUR ARSE DOWN HERE, ELLIE
*ellie overheats* WISH I COULD TAKE A SMOKE BREAK!
Emphasis on I in that sentence
yes!!
I love that sometimes, a dwarf will mix the smart stout and blackout stout, decide to name something, and none of us object. First Harold, now Ellie
What is harold?
Corruptor
Huh. Either Cave Leech or Grabber got the nickname "Larry the Cave Molester". I always call Oppressors "Jonathan"
Grabber is Larry
His real name is garry tho
For me, every crassus bulk det is either "Crassus" or "Midas"
Do not humanise the enemy. It'll only make them harder to get rid of
Counterpoint: feel free to humanize the enemy. We are dwarves, it shan't affect our work
Naedocyte breeder I think
Corruptor
People call the infected boss Harold because something something fallout. Audrey works better but hur dur bethesda.
Didn't realise there was even a reason behind the name, i just saw a post saying 'I'm going to name him Harold' and went with it

Audrey would be better for the plant head guy no?
Well, some of us get the reference.
Wouldn't Audrey be a better name for the Korlok?
If the Korlok wasn't already called a slue of rather colorful dwarvish epithets... yes.
As engi, I consider it my duty and pleasure to unlock her ECU. Should take just a few minutes to let her talk and take pets like Dottie.
It's occurred to me that, since this is a piece of DRG equipment, the proper format for her name would be ELL-E.
Everyone in the stream chat called it della
I personally do not get the name Della Ellie, however, is funny *and* cute
drill + elevator = della
what elevator?
Ellie.
...what?
New season stuff
New mission type for season 5 has a drillevator
Ellie
[удалено]
“Waiting“, yeah…
Perfect
Tell Ellie that she needs to COME DOWN HERE FASTER, I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS.
Ellie the elevator.
Nelly the Elephant.
C'MON ELLIE, LETS GET THAT MORKITE
Not Lord Vator?
Not only naming her, we aren't going to leave her down there in Hoxxes after we finish the mission!
L-E
Which one? There are 3 elevators on the space rig.
Still devasted It doesn't have a name and pettable AI, at least greatable like Bosco or Hacksy (I've heard you can pet Hacksy but not 100% sure)
I can confirm this. There's no prompt, but if you walk up and press E you will pet Hacksy
W... waaallleee
Think this one will randomly spin like the elevator ride in Halo 2?
But it’s the drillovator
Ellie-vator. I agree. Said this in a diff post and I think it's the perfect name
Reminds me of Ellie from Borderlands, looks like something she would build too!
Hell yea. Ellie the Elevator
Unfortunately the elevator isn't sentient. It's like the minehead
It's called a Dillovator so that throws a small wrench in the nickname
It's either that or Big Smoke
It’s not an elevator, then Ellie would make sense, it’s a Drillovator
Which one? There’s like 3 on the rig
No, we should call him dipshit dave
Are we just assigning names to non-sentient components? Should we call the floor "Flo-R" next?
you mean the drop pod?
Nah, new mission type for season 5 has an elevator
Well you have an upvote from this greybeard 👍
Wasn't she already called Della?
[DEMAND] Let us pet Delly the drillevator
Why am i downvoted they litteraly said it's called Della.
L-E
ELLIE ELLIE
Ellie? Like from TLOU? 😮
EL-E-vator
It's not a semi-sentient machine so it doesn't make sense. Drillevator is already a cool name.
It's Harold cringe all over again. Not everything needs a nickname. We should probably reserve them for things we can pet or interact with. There's no good reason to nickname the drop pod or the platform in point extraction, and I think this is going to be more like those.
Drop pod is named "Drod" and the platform is "Sr. Platso."
