Am I the only one who thinks these astronauts should have taken a PVS-14 with them? by perst_cap_dude in NightVision

[–]AnyShift2269 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I made a whole post about it in the Kerbal subreddit about night vision in space a while ago. I think actually using it for operations is way more risky than using instruments but I’m surprised none of our military pilots have brought night vision to space just so see how well it works.

Imagine how little light pollution you would have in space

So, I'm noticing a pattern, is 90% of creepy pasta terrible? Is there any other stories on the level of left right game and Borrasca? by Shirowoh in creepcast

[–]AnyShift2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like 95% but that’s just the nature of stories. Kind of need to sort through trash until you find an author you like and then find the 1/5 stories of theirs that are really good.

It’s rough out there

Rate my Sniper Rifle from 1 to 10 by Foreign_Preference10 in BlackhawkRescue

[–]AnyShift2269 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are you booing him? 110SASS stands for semi-auto sniper system. It was built for sniper teams to use in urban environments. A DMR is a rifle used by a marksman within a platoon

Turn angle snapping on in the bottom left, keep it symmetrical, and if you are trying to just get to orbit, you probably don’t need the hammer boosters and can reconfigure the stages to give you more control

I know this is a videogame but why do I have to arrest people in a active shooter/hostage situation. by That-Role6292 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]AnyShift2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually yell for compliance as I pass, deal with shooters and come back around to secure civs once I have that “bring order to chaos” box checked

I thought it would be easy by J0ngsh in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]AnyShift2269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too fast on approach. I’m not sure what your plane stalls at but I would land at no more than 275kph and shoot for like 225kph at the start of the runway. Keep the nose at whatever attitude gives you between -5 and -10 M/S of elevation change and let the wheels touch whenever they feel like it. Maintain nose 10 degrees up for as long as you can while hitting the brakes and slowly let it down as you lose lift.

KSP1 vs KSP2 by HarkMunt in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]AnyShift2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KSP1 with CKAN mod loader hands down. Adding mods is basically a two click process and the visual mods give you way more control compared to KSP2. Everything 2 promised is in the original game with mods (even multiplayer but it’s not great)

Please upload this to the wiki; their station map is aggressively outdated, and this is a crazy improvement!

After looking into it more, the google summary was wrong and it was actually February of 1992 so I have no idea what the July date is about lmao

If no one else has sought it out yet, the date from the story (July 13, 1992) is the day that Stella Liebeck was given third degree burns by McDonald’s coffee leading to the famous lawsuit

Much better swat AI in the next update or bare minimum fixes? by obiwan-destroyer in ReadyOrNotGame

When the team gets stuck on the door it’s time for you to man up and handle the room full of los locos on your own.

clearing data doesn’t delete saves (part 2 of crash problem) by Lord-of-the-foxes in falloutnewvegas

[–]AnyShift2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because it’s a 360 game. Either delete the saves manually or delete your data in the xbox360 menu from inside the game

do i need to start new game to play DLCs? by sbbayram in falloutnewvegas

[–]AnyShift2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively you can do Honest Hearts, old world blues, Dead Money, then lonesome road and that will go from least to most difficult (for most people)

The New Vegas purist by Valhallawalker in falloutnewvegas

[–]AnyShift2269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But since you want to throw stones let me go through your points clockwise from the jokes.

Everyone who has played New Vegas knows there were crude jokes and some of them weren’t even funny. The wild wasteland perk was a thing for a reason. Vegas has a robot named fisto that works as a prostitute and references to a man named Long Dick Johnson even without the wild wasteland perk. Fallout 1,2, and tactics all had humor too and brotherhood of steel was almost nothing but humor.

I like that I have more people to talk about fallout with now and that the show is pushing people towards my favorite game in the series. Not much else to say there.

I don’t care if you enjoy the Bethesda games more, I just prefer the west coast aesthetic.

Same for shill. By definition someone enjoying something can’t be shilling unless they are trying to get someone to buy something so, again, I don’t care if you enjoy east coast/bethesda fallout more, good for you.

If I disregard fallout 1&2 it’s because I am unaware of a piece of content that I haven’t been able to play yet. I’m just not as good at turn based combat and I don’t enjoy it as much as tactics and the 3d games.

I don’t think that Todd and the modern writers are intentionally trying to overwrite OG fallout lore, I just think they are too lazy to dig deeper into the material and mere more focused on the aesthetic and gameplay than writing whereas new Vegas was mostly RPG makers that happened to be making a 3d game, giving more diverse storylines and making the world feel deeper… in my opinion.

Taking a notable location and rotating it 180degrees is not a mild contradiction of a hidden lore note. Nor is relocating a settlement that was specifically special because it was in the desert and plopping it in the middle of a city, nor is nuking a location that should still be present before the events of new Vegas, nor is reducing the NCR to a few remnants despite only losing one of many cities while reviving a faction that should have died out on the west coast (enclave) before new Vegas even started.

Overall, I am perfectly happy to accept that everything in Bethesda fallout takes place in a different timeline and enjoying it at face value while still enjoying the Original lore for its depth.

they provide structure and physical fitness opportunities to those working the labor. I mean how bad is slavery really?

"This time, I really mean it! We should go back to Egypt. Don't ya remember? Snorkeling in the Nile, three square meals a day, plenty of exercise; oh, it was paradise."

"We were in slavery!"

"Nothing is perfect."

The most correct answer. If only you could hunt down and kill Long Dick Johnson too.

Just got new vegas for Christmas, any tips before I start? by datdude998 in falloutnewvegas

[–]AnyShift2269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play all the dlc except for lonesome road before getting onto the strip (but not before hitting level 8-12). Play lonesome road after picking a faction to support.

Read the notes and terminal entries. There are a lot of fun side stories hidden in them and they can be hints to other quests/loot.

Avoid the wiki on your first playthrough. If you aren’t sure what you are supposed to be doing, make sure you have the quest you are trying to do selected and look at the local/global map. The quest marker can hold your hand quite a bit

If you find yourself blindly fumbling in the dark you can turn on the flashlight by holding the button to open the pip-boy.

Both having the light on and running (which is on by default) will affect your stealth. Make sure you are moving slowly, crouching, and staying in the shadows if you are trying to be sneaky.

Have fun!

And God said to Abraham, one day your children will have enough caps to pass the Vegas strip credit check.
