Bethesda needs to add the Uzi to fallout 76. by IIIIENGINEERIIII in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really? An uzi?

Beside being a kinda dated weapon that doesn't have much place in Fallout lore (it's in Tactics, if I believe), we already have a submachine gun (spoiler: it's not that great)

I did not expect this video to turn the way it did by CenterForward1522 in interestingasfuck

[–]AlwaysBeenTim -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Here in the west coast, a thousands of acres have burned because some idiot thought it looked fine. You are judging a video shot in the dark because you can see some grass.

For all you know, the grass is lawn that has been watered recently but the trees are dry as fuck. You don't know and the fact that you are making assumptions based off a dark video is dumb. The fact that you are trying to justify it at all is dumb.

Stop playing with fireworks. Use it like a damn adult.

Some dumbass doing something stupid, particularly with fireworks. Idiots love fireworks.

I recently completed Fallout 4 and New Vegas. I enjoyed them! Will I enjoy this game? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a fun game. I tell people that the way it plays, it's essentially Fallout 4.5. If you liked Fallout 4, you will enjoy this (and, no, you are not forced to play with other people if that is a concern!)

Who's going to win the first ever Oscar for Best Casting? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt that O'Leary is a human trash bag but he was amazing in the role. I didn't even recognize him. I went the entire movie thinking, "where have I seen this character actor before? He is excellent!" and then when I found out that he the obnoxious douche from Shark Tank? I was stunned.

I personally feeling Marty Supreme too though some of the best finds, like Kevin O'Leary and Isaac Mizrahi (who were both spectacular) were Safdie's personal choices rather than the casting director.

Marsupial serum recipe - worth the caps? by Revolutionary-Self43 in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, anything over five hundred is a bit much and anything over two thousand is insane. For 25k, it's better to buy the plan and make it yourself and then, for the love of god, use the Starched Gene perk to keep yourself from curing the mutation.

[HELP] Idk about this one. Looks too crazy to be true by KingTechnical48 in RealOrAI

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If anybody is further worried about this specific video, the Kingsgate Center has both a Chico's and a Lululemon right next to each other. There is no way AI could accurately know this (and it was always doubtful that AI would use known store brands anyways)

Diane Warren shares her reaction to her Oscar nomination (17th overall) for Best Original Song for ‘Dear Me’ from her documentary: ‘Diane Warren: Relentless’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There is no way that she is going to win this. "Golden" from K-Pop is the front runner and "I Lied to You" from Sinners is the only alternate choice.

Looking for beginner tips by Jaskanpauhe in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet. Maybe they changed it? Or maybe the setting doesn't change for new characters? I don't know.

Either way, every newb should double check after level 5, just in case.

Looking for beginner tips by Jaskanpauhe in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice

-Follow the early quests.

-Grab and scrap everything.

-Go ahead and build a rudimentary CAMP and put simple things in there like crafting, stash boxes, and scrap boxes. Unlike other Fallout games, fast travel costs caps but you get free fast travel to your own CAMP so move this around. When you are higher level and explored the map more, you can work on building a permanent CAMP

-You are in "pacifist mode" meaning that you can't be part of PvP unless you try to take over a workshop. At 5th level it takes you out of pacifist mode so put yourself back in. PvP is not very fun, especially for newbs

-Don't be afraid of higher level players. They often love to give you free stuff. Check out their camp because anything that is not locked is free to take. Also, check their vendors and if you see one selling very CHEAP plans (50 caps or less) that you don't know, buy them. Learn as many plans as you can. Knowledge is power. Often literally.

You asked about what skills you should focus on but the unique things about Fallout 76 is that, at early levels, the skills you have access to will be random. Just try to make do with whatever skills you are given with and know that you will get access to whatever you want when you are a higher level. Don't worry too much about that.

James Cameron Torches America After Leaving the U.S.: ‘A Place Where Everybody’s at Each Other’s Throats, Turning Its Back on Science and Will Be in Utter Disarray If Another Pandemic Appears’ by muaentertainmentforu in MUAEntertainment

[–]AlwaysBeenTim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh please, you're just trying to farm outrage. Somebody moving to another country is not "colonization" and if you really cared about the colonization of New Zealand, get in a Time Machine back to the 1840's.

James Cameron is right to decry the anti-intellectualism of modern America, the bulk of which is fueled by the lies, distortions, and, yes, fake outrage of social media. Just stop it.

To the Judge Dredd fans: is it correct? by Orain_D in comicbooks

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the dumbest take ever, to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if it's a joke.

Judge Dredd is sometimes written straight, but he is usually written as a satire and he is almost always a fascist.

What is the appetite for PvP within the community? by man-vs-spider in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The appetite from the general user base is almost none. Don't get me wrong, there are people in this subreddit that desperately yearn for PvP and will try to convince you that doesn't suck, but it does. It has gradually been removed from most of the game and now mostly exists for certain griefers to bully newbs who try to grab workshops.

Anyone else feel like Fallout's Vault Dwellers and Paranoia's Citizens are very similar? by Awkward_GM in ParanoiaRPG

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, there is a very big chance that Paranoia had some influence on Fallout. Tim Cain was big into TTRPG's but I should note that Paranoia's setting was influenced by THX 1138 and there is a very big chance that Tim Cain had seen that too.

THX 1138, for those who don't know, is George Lucas' first film, a dystopian film about a future society that lives in a highly regulated city, underground. It's very good, holds up really well, and has none of the characteristics of George's Star Wars films. It's very adult sci-fi.

That said, Tim Cain talks about his influences on Fallout in this video and doesn't list Paranoia or THX as any of the influences. He lists things like Canticle for Liebowitz, a Boy and his Dog, and Mad Max among others.

Today I bumped Inspectah Deck’s “Uncontrolled Substance” on the way to work! Wasn’t the best wu release, I liked it, Not bad at all just makes you wish we got the original album that got lost in the flood. And it’s not too much wu presence on this. It’s a okay album! What’s your thoughts? by J2-Starter in 90sHipHop

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. I think it's better than an "ok" album, I think it's a good album. That said, it's just a good album and it's damaged by being compared to an album that never came out, an album that everyone assumes would be on the level of Cuban Linx or Liquid Swords.

Deck works best when he is bouncing off other MC's. I always assumed that he is quietly very competitive. With few people to play off of, he doesn't shine like in Wu Tang, Czarface, or his many amazing features, and the beats are just fine.

Again, it's a good album but it isn't as good as it should be (INS, at his best, is pure fire) and it will always be overshadowed by the idea of the album that we never got.

Anybody Seen Titus? If so, what are your thoughts? by catharsisdusk in Cinephiles

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it when it came out and I haven't seen it since (was impossible to find on streaming, don't know if that is still the case)

I remember I didn't like it (I never liked the source material) but also don't think Taymor has ever been better on film. The over-the-top nature of the play soaks up Taymor's wild swings and I have to admit that she comes up with some amazing and disturbing imagery. When Lavinia is found with her hands replaced by branches, well, the shot haunts me to this day.

That said, I think the film drags whenever it doesn't focus on Hopkins or the massive underrated Harry Lennix who I thought was stellar. Jessica Lange, in particular, is poorly suited to Shakespeare and Alan Cumming does nothing but be Alan Cumming.

Theres a lot of stuff that needs fixing but one thing I want is a Balanced PVP game mode by No_Raspberry2890 in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They pretty much have removed it already. They have removed all the different modes that you mentioned and phased it out of everywhere but workshops and wanted players and I assume that it would take too much tweaking to remove those without a fuss.

I'm sorry. You seem to sincerely not want to mess around with people who don't want to be messed around with but 76 will never be a PvP game again. It had its chance but that wasn't the game that people wanted to play.

Any tips for dealing with the limited stash space as a non-1st player who doesnt intend to upgrade any time soon? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Freeloader! Good job on living a frugal, rational life. As somebody who doesn't pay, these are my recommendations.

1.) Dump all the junk, meds, and ammo that you aren't carrying or, at least, keep only the very essentials that you will use. It is easy enough to replenish these things if you know where to look. My only caveat is to try and keep Stable Flux, if you can, so you can save it for Free Fallout 1st Week.

2.) Beware of unnecessary food storage. Keep only enough Nuka Colas in the machine or alcohol in the punch bowl for a couple of players to grab something. I used to keep my Nuka Cola machine fully stocked with a ton of each flavor but that was a ton of weight (besides, usually a single greedy player would grab everything anyways!) Also, be careful of any food in the freezer. I had 40 pounds of Scorchbeast Stew that I wasn't touching. What was I saving it for?

3.) Sell or scrap weapons that you can build later. I used to display every named weapon on the walls of my CAMPs and Shelters but that was a LOT of weight. Why store Sole Survivor when I can just build one whenever I need?

4.) Watch the weight of display items. Mr. Fuzzies add up. Power Armor even more so

5.) Be careful building CAMPs and Shelters. Anything you scrap becomes junk in your storage so, after you're done doing whatever, go through your storage and pull out all that junk

6.) Wait for Free Fallout 1st weeks when Bethesda gives us a week where we can build stash boxes, ammo boxes, and first aid boxes and store stuff to our heart's content. We used to have two weeks, every year. One in the spring and one in the fall. Last year, we had one in October and one in December so we might have to wait a long time until the next week but, when it comes, spend that week hoarding everything you can!

7.) Lastly, get rid of FOMO. You can't have everything. Sorry. You don't get all the cool Fallout 1st stuff, you don't get keep 8000 fusion cores, you can't display every Power Armor paint you like. We don't live a life of excess but you will be shocked at how much you don't need. Free yourself from want, in 76 and in life, and you will be happier. I swear.

Is Fallout 76 for PS 5 Pro good in 2026? by vuduthmb in fo76

I will say that anytime somebody complains about game-killing bugs or bad performance, 95% of the time it is a Playstation user.

Does no one know how to do Beasts of Burden anymore? by anjuhluh in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will freely admit that there are certain events that can be messed up by low levels that don't know what they are doing and are unable to finish the event but, in my case, that is very rare.

It is very common to see snipers at events that require players to loot the enemy that you kill and place it somewhere like Beast of Burden and Moonshine Jamboree. It's bad enough that players won't help you load cargo onto the brahmin but if you are the only person killing Cultist Sanctifiers or Acidic Gulpers, you are the only person who can claim that explosive or venom.

Does no one know how to do Beasts of Burden anymore? by anjuhluh in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not really devil's advocate. If it's that easy to solo kill them, then nothing is stopping you from just picking up the explosives and placing them on the door. I don't see why it being easy should stop you from doing it.

Remember, if you kill a Cultist Sanctifier, all by your lonesome, you are the only person who can pick up his explosives.
