I love how the parrot got fucked by the transition BUT the donut came out fine and unscathed. This can only be the worst possible timeline.
It's a conspiracy.

Takes up far too much space to say far too little.
Well, that’s fair but I’ve been tasked with making Fallout related with « citation needed ». What would you do? Because I don’t have any ideas.

Something like this?

Yes, it could work. since you guys seem to have ideas: I was requested to make Fallout themed variations of the following:

Green: done
Yellow: in progress

Brofist
Yes / thumbs up / agree
No / thumbs down / disagree

Thanks
Citation Needed
Informative / Interesting / Makes you think
Cool Story Bro
WTF am I reading
Facepalm / Retarded

So if you have ideas for those, let me know. Providing Vault Boy references of what you mean would help as well. I’m sure some of you are more aware of what Vault Boy can represent throughout all games and various perks.

So Below
Informative / Interesting / Makes you think
Each of these are very similar, but just a few degrees different. And I think the original buttons for each of them weren't quite on-point with the buttons use and meaning.

Makes you Think is easy, just give him a big, pink brain. That or a cartoonishly oversized forehead.

I know the emoji is popular, but I'm all for Fallout-ifying all of them. For animations, make the brain throb, have a vein pulsate, or maybe just animate electric sparks around it.

For Interesting, have him read a book. But for Informative, have him read a newspaper.

To better distinguish the similar yet different uses of Interesting and Informative, some subtle distinctions need to be made. For Interesting, vault boy should be largely covered by the book with only part of his head and side visible, with a more involved or enraptured expression. For Informative, keep his torso more visible and keep his regular/neutral expression.

You’ll need to discuss that with the staff, I’m just providing the art. It originated from a suggestion by rusty which was then approved by DU.

Ghulgothas Peachcurl Great references. My understanding (and I might be misunderstanding) is that elements separated by / would be merged as one button to reduce clutter. For instance “yes” and “agree” would be one button since their meaning is nearly identical.

Yeah, I just discovered this. I heard legends of poor codexers who only had 1 button, and I pitied them. Then came the day it happened to me... or so I thought. I was afraid to click that Brofist button with the regular buttons nested inside for fear that I'd give someone an underseved Brofist.

The bottom-right brofist definitely needs to be replaced with something, to better reflect the new nesting of buttons within.
Personally, I'd remove 'Brofist' because it's not representative (it's a button for all ratings). I made this:

I also made a second version for once it's been clicked/pressed:

In action:

We could therefore replace the text "Brofist" and the "brofist" icon with something which is more representative (a button for buttons).

How about instead of big red circle make an empty circle and cramp inside 4 or 9 as tiny as possible the most prominent buttons.

Which would however eliminate the convenience of quickly rating something "brofist".

(also: please no blinking red light under each post ;) )
