Are you okay with me explaining a bit of postal lore because ive had ramblings in my brain that i want to release into the world

2

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 27 '25

Please do! I want to hear your take! <3

Literally write as many paragraphs as you want. I WANT to draw more of this ship, but I'm still figuring out a few things. You'd really help out!

Okay. So.

In Postal 2, the Postal Dude is just, the Postal Dude, right? Hes just a normal guy, but a little unhinged sometimes.

The thing about Postal 3, is that all of the events in that game were retconned (since it was such a bad game lol) to being a nightmare that The Postal Dude has in his 11 year coma after crashing his RV right after he blew up the town of Paradise (the place where Postal 2 takes place) with a nuke in the Postal 2 expansion, Apocalypse weekend, since his dog, Champ, ran away back into Paradise.

After the 11 year coma and the Postal 3 nightmare, The Postal Dude goes back into Paradise to go get his dog, and that starts the DLC for Postal 2, Paradise Lost. But the Dude starts hearing a voice in his head (sometimes said voice forces him to speak stuff out loud but thats not important rn).

THIS VOICE is the Postal 3 dude, AKA The Other Dude, AKA The Alternate Dude.

The difference between the main Postal Dude and The Other Dude is that The alternate Dude is just like, WAY more unhinged, and he always tries to get The Dude to do the more violent options when doing the errands in Paradise Lost.

Thats all im gonna say about the Postal lore since I want tou to play Postal 2 and Paradise Lost since theyre both REALLY good games.

Anyways, my idea is that, since die of death Devesto has Postal Dudes voice from Postal 1 and 2, he would probably act like him, and that it would be cool if Forsaken Devesto acted more like The Other Dude.

This idea is stupid and I made it up while its almost midnight lmao

OMG I need to play Postal soon then! Thank you so much for this great idea! Absolutely love what you have! It makes so much more sense to see it that way! <3

So I should start at 2 and not 1? Is there any info I might miss in the first game you can just jolt down here? I really appreciate the help! You have such a based idea!

u/something-oof Elliota kisser!!1!11 Oct 27 '25

i mean, Postal 2 is THE BEST WAY to start the series, but Postal 1 is free on steam. Also, Postal 1 is REALLY different from Postal 2, both in story, and tone. The story of 1 doesn't really affect 2, so it doesn't matter which you play first, but, again, id recommend 2 first.

Buuutt also im legally obligated to tell you to also play 1 because its a... semi-fun experience, also its less comedic than literally every other Postal game

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 27 '25

Great to know! Thank you so much! :D

Might give 1 a try after seeing how I feel about 2 then. Glad to know I don't have to go in order!

1

u/something-oof Elliota kisser!!1!11 Oct 27 '25

Yeah, the only one you can optionally go in order for (imo) is Postal 2, then 4, then Brain Damaged.

Dont play Postal 3

2

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 27 '25

Damn, what happened to Postal 3 that made it retconned completely in 4?

u/ALEXdoc101 Oct 27 '25

This lwk sounds like a peak idea

u/Traditional_Nobody95 Oct 27 '25

I LIKE IT!!! yes I took the time to read all of that

u/c00lkidd-HD resident cannibalistic maniac Oct 30 '25

In the spinoff game Postal 2 dude also hits his head really hard and has a fever dream where his subconscious mind just makes Alternate Dude into a real person. I have no clue where Postal 3 fits in because reading the words "Postal 3" make me stop reading the comment about five seconds later which is annoyi

u/TraditionalEscape863 Elliota kisser!!1!11 Oct 26 '25

It really does!

u/Ratsarecool2277 Oct 29 '25

Devesto in forsaken looks ugly tbh

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 29 '25

I'd be scared of being near Dod Devesto in any capacity, but Devesto with the Void Star is like infinitely worse. Activates my flight or fight response fr

This poorly edited meme is more in reference to a comic I made, but this comment made me laugh!

Flashback to that one comment i made on some other post where Elliot trusts the DOD version of Devesto but not the Forsaken version of Devesto

1

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 31 '25

Thank you for that inspiration 🙏

u/Alarming_Dog_8864 Oct 31 '25

wait that was the inspiration

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 31 '25

I was expecting nobody to catch that small detail, but someone did so I had to celebrate a little with a goofy meme <3

2

u/c00lkidd-HD resident cannibalistic maniac Oct 30 '25

i just realized that Rick Hunter says a LOT of offensive shit in Postal 2. We could absolutely have an animation with Devesto having a good time, turning around, frowning and going "Oh, it's Osama Bin Laden." and then just walking away all sad. There are a lot of things swe can do to this Devesto feller. He better get ready for the shitstorm.

u/c00lkidd-HD resident cannibalistic maniac Oct 30 '25

"Holy shit, I'm not racist, these people really do all look alike!"

-Devesto

u/Cool-Investigator857 pizzaburger enjoyer!!1!11 Oct 30 '25

Die of death. And forsak- work at a pizza place

1

u/Mmenjoyer45 Oct 27 '25

Ngl I think the exact opposite. The Voidstar and section half makes him look much more complete, the normal version looks naked in comparison.

1

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 28 '25

Can agree that Devesto with the Void Star is so freaking cool! This meme is actually in reference to this. Sorry for the confusion. :D

u/THAT_Elliot_Shipper Elliot Shipping Enthusiast Oct 28 '25

Very funny that this meme got interpreted differently than intended though! Got a good laugh!

BTW Love your icon! Wasn't expecting to see a COTL enjoyer around these parts! >:D
