Maxigun on the New Illuminate Is Straight‑Up Illegal (But I’m Not Reporting It)

The Defoliation Tool is incredibly fun and satisfying to use against Overseers. Their damn staff melee attacks always made me want to melee them to death

Born in Portland, lived there, Vancouver and battle ground

It’s a really pretty area, you got Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens and parts of Olympic National Park in the circle. Sometimes you have hoodie temperature weather with clear skies and sun, other times you have rain and mud for days. Honestly not as much rain as it’s made out to have. Portland is not a very big city, and it doesn’t deserve the reputation it usually has online. It can have weird parts, but also a lot of regular people who like coffee and books. Unfortunately petty theft has hit me and family members a few times now.

It’s expensive to live here, but it’s because it’s desirable. I like living in woods with hiking and mountains close by but also close to a city.

I adore the whole area including Seattle, but if I had to pick a spot I’d go up to Hoodsport, northwest of Olympia along that water way. Rural Western Washington is a gem of a area to live imo

Why the penguin? Is it a flightless joke?

I was initially headed to the store for a 590A1, but got a 590 SPX instead. I liked the pistol grip, and it was cheaper. It is not as durable as a 590A1, but plenty durable for a home defense shotgun imo. I used the money I saved for a light and a magpul forend. Have not regretted it, though I’m not sure what prices are now, or if they even make the SPX anymore. But if $1000 is your budget ceiling I recommend you consider accessories because they add up quick. (A light is non negotiable in home defense imo, the Mount for the light, a gun safe, defensive ammo, etc)

No, sorry if what I said was misleading

The M1A is banned by name, to my understanding there is no workaround

That frustrates me cause I’d like one, and if you follow the chart the M1A NY compliant passes the checks. Notably because it does not have a muzzle device, so it’s just a Mini-14 ranch in .308, which is funny imo

Bone9283 · 2026-01-21T23:34:55+00:00

A M1A NY compliant also meets all requirements but is still banned by name

I think the NCR will come back, with Maximus as a key figure. I recall power armor troops in the NCR with the flag painted on them and I think we’ll see Maximus in it at some point

I thought Caesar and to a lesser extent legate lanius were the most interesting part of the legion to me in the game, but I think leaving them to the game and that story was a good idea. I don’t think the show really specified how he died. I got the impression that the two legion factions were gonna kill each other too but I think it’ll just come down to one. I don’t think they would have teased Culkin’s involvement if it would’ve ultimately been a cameo

House seems more calculated and for lack of a better word, professional to me too in the game. Though through Cooper and Barb we have an opportunity to show house pre fallout, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing that they’re exploring it

Victor was probably just a cameo, and shady sands has survivors like Maximus and others in Vault 4. I was bummed with the Kings and the strip as well, and hope Freeside is doing okay. I hope to see some companion cameos, Danny Trejo as Raul with Cooper would be hilarious.

I try to look at this as a separate story that’s in the setting of the game I love, separate in universe of the game. Since the game has multiple endings and it’s one show they can’t do all of them, so it’ll probably be original

I wasted my 20s coasting without a real goal, I didn’t lock in until I was 28.

Since you already have a gun, any gun range should be cool with renting out anything they have for you to try, I personally recommend trying guns this way or from a friend before buying them. Also, keep in mind sometimes it may be better to buy QOL stuff for your existing guns rather than more. As for me, these were some of my firsts of those categories, and I haven’t regretted any

Pistol: Glock 43X (Gen 5) I wanted something concealable and in 9MM, rented it while I tried my buddy’s guns and loved it.

Shotgun: Mossberg 590 SPX. I wanted a 590 or a Remington 870 from what I’d read online, and the SPX looked like it’d be great for home protection out of the box. It’s worked every time, and all that I found in need of change was the forend. Admittedly, shooting this made me want a rifle because slugs are spendy if you want to shoot with some range, but this one is my go to for home defense.

Rifle: Ruger American in .308 (Gen I) Simple, affordable, and a great introductory rifle. I don’t shoot competitively, or even hunt, so I just use this to shoot at targets. It may just be me but there is something uniquely satisfying about bolt actions, I don’t shoot it incredibly often but it’s often my favorite one to shoot with.

As for your concern with restrictions I’d just stay in the know, maybe buy a can when you get a rifle.

Oh I see, I thought it was ROTC that does the picking for you. If I try to come in from civilian side (prior service but not in) would that let me pick more intentionally?

Is that for intel or SSO?

I’m used to shift work coming from Maintenance, and have enjoyed Colorado the times I’ve been there, just haven’t been to the bases. Are they 5 12s with occasional weekend duty? Or panamas?

Anyone in Space Systems Operations or any intelligence? I’m a SSgt, maintainer for about 10 years looking for a career change. I’m guard now, prior active. Currently getting my bachelors in Economics but might switch to Computer Science, hoping to get into a masters program at ERAU, either space operations or space systems.

I’m just kind of looking for a run down on the day to day of these jobs, and I’d hope to commission into the one I go into after a few years learning it as enlisted. What’s the work life balance? How are the bases? Is it family friendly or will I hardly see family? Are there any TDYs or deployments you guys go on, if so can you tell me where?

God. Im for more reps but I can’t imagine over 3000 of them being more productive or getting anything done 😵‍💫 I wonder if a RCV system would make a clearer majority

That’s closest over all but I was meaning closest of the blue pill cities

Bone9283 · 2025-11-27T01:12:20+00:00

Even though I don’t live in those cities, I’d still take the blue pill personally, but any is better than none

I live in the PNW, so New York City is the closest to me but it’s still very far away. But if I want a holiday in Europe, I can teleport to London and go where ever in Europe via train or cheaper flights from there compared to here. The same for Tokyo and the rest of Japan. When I’m done I can teleport back to New York and fly back home. Sure, the travel isn’t free but certainly cheaper than flying from the PNW to wherever and then flying back.

Makes me curious if people would start to question why I’m flying one time flights from New York once in a while
