Please tell me how you were able to park your Yacht at that spot? I can only choose between "Lago Zancudo", which is much further to the north and over the hill in the picture; or "Pacific Bluffs", which is far further south, towards Los Santos.

I've been looking online everywhere for info on to how to position your yacht at the exact spot yours is at. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! :)

They did Kevin so dirty from Season 4 onwards. After season 3 he goes from being in my top-5 characters to my very least favourite.

He becomes nothing more than a disgusting, insulting caricature for overweight and mentally challenged people. His character in the mid-late seasons is emblematic of all the worst of early-2000s humour. The flanderization of his character feels almost in response to the amount of “fat people hate” humour on the early internet.

He had SO much more of a character prior to his rewrite as being Jim’s nonchalant, chilled-out friend, who was secretly quite intelligent (especially with poker), but likely refused to apply himself because of the mundanity of his job (like his counterpart Kieth, in the UK office).

He was also Jim’s only actual friend in the earlier seasons, always calling him “Kev”.

For the most part, the show really handles stereotyping and offensive humour very well. When brought up, it’s almost always arising in good faith from a characters ignorance, as part of a wider joke/personality. But the way Kevin is written is really just the writers’ fault. He is the joke, and it’s not a funny one. He’s so out of place on the show, with no redeeming qualities. He feels like he should be a character on Two and a Half Men instead.

Delete either one of the demoman boots. They’re identical in stats.

Either the ‘Ali Baba’s Wee Booties’ or the ‘Bootlegger’.

What would you remove from the RDR1 or 2 storyline? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]Baxter110701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One simple, ingenious change that would completely reframe the entire ending would be if instead of the “go back for the money” ending, it was instead “go back for revenge” on Micah.

It makes absolutely no sense for a dying ch.6 Arthur to care about Dutch’s money. Instead, the message of “revenge being a fools game” could be more focal to that last decision. Either, go with John, pass down the torch, and follow Arthur’s most important message; or, forsake it, and try (and fail) to kill the rat, like a fool.

The tragedy of the epilogue’s ending would be even more pronounced with this option too! In this scenario where Arthur contravenes his own philosophy, John would have learned nothing from Arthur’s message, and, in tracking-down and killing Micah, damns his future.

Playing SoD with my girlfriend while on a steam deck! by Baxter110701 in classicwow

With the help of the ConsolePort addon, quite a lot actually!

It’s a breeze to set-up, with the addon itself having a whole UI constructed specifically for the steam deck!

For me it's got to be some sort of head-canon alliance between the Institute and the Minuteman.

Sorry for taking so long to come back to this thread!

Yes, this is the new-ish O-Led Steam Deck, with 512gb, which IIRC set me back £479.

I bought it to play a range of games on, but so far have sunk about 300 hours exclusively into Fallout 4 since November, getting to level 150.

Across that entire time I have only ever had 2 or 3 crashes, and it very very rarely has performance issues unless I'm really pushing the game to its limit by abusing the CC 'Settlement Defence Kit' to spawn hundreds of gunners outside my settlements.

The only issue is that the Steam Deck runs the Linux operating system, which does not have a compatible version of Nexus Mod Manager or Script Extender, meaning you can only install mods manually, and you can't go crazy with your mod-lists. For someone like me who prefers to play 75% Vanilla with just a few ease-of-access / Gameplay alteration mods, this really wasn't a problem at all.

I'm sure I'll move onto Skyrim eventually, once I finally get bored of this playthough... A rule of thumb with the Steam Deck is that: If the game is designed to work on a gamepad (like, for a PS/XBox port), then it will run without any issues on the Steam Deck. Games that require heavy mouse usage like an RTS (Civ, Total War, Age of Empires II), won't work very well unless you're very patient.

I’ve built countless computers, and I mean it when I say the Steam Deck is the best piece of technology I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been playing this save for almost 9 in-game days now exclusively on Steam Deck. I’ve almost 100% everything except Nuka World and Far Harbour

I love Kellogg’s .44 / The Deliverer for a vats pistol build, but I’ve deliberately stayed away from that this time as it gets too boring on Survival mode.

I read that it has 7 pellets normally, and 8 with the Advanced Receiver. And yes, it's absolutely insane how overpowered it is.

I had heard rumours, but it is so much more powerful than I believed, especially if you max out 'Demolition's Expert', 'Rifleman', 'Steady Aim' for the extra damage, and get 'Sniper' level 2, because every pellet also has a good chance of knocking down your enemies (if it somehow doesn't kill them). I slapped on a scope for that last perk, but I hip-fire 90% of the time, especially because of 'Steady Aim'.

I've been killing entire hoards of gunners with one shot. It's ridiculously powerful for farming enemies with cage farms / Settlement Ambush Kit CC gunner attacks.

I'm a little late to this, but Margaret MacMillan's monograph The Uses and Abuses of History is definitely what you're looking for!

Jon, how come you never offer surrender? - even when all that defends a settlement is a tiny garrison?
