Over the past month, Elden Ring's obscure messaging system — a holdover from previous Souls games — has introduced phrases like "praise the dog!", "try jumping," and the stalwart classic, "try finger but hole," to the vocabulary of gamers everywhere. It’s apparently inspired one Fallout fan to add the game's messaging system to New Vegas via a mod called Building Bridges.
Building Bridges is the creation of modder TommInfinite, and it allows players to etch messages into the ground, ostensibly to help their fellow travelers navigate the dangers of the Wasteland. Like in every Souls game, in addition to crafting their own, any player with the mod installed will be able to see these messages.
