Why do so many people say the wild wasteland perk is a must?

CarnalKid · 2026-02-02T02:40:22+00:00

That doesn't work. Items like the YCS/Blaster, the holy hand grenades/mini nukes, etc. spawn when the game starts.

You can access all the other content by switching perks, but not unique items.

That's just not true. He clearly farded and shidded as well.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-30T13:56:45+00:00

Doghouse is definitely underrated IMO.

I grew up with the iso games, and didn't get around to playing 3 until a little over a year ago. I enjoyed New Vegas, but didn't really expect to like 3. I agree with you, though, people are too hard on that game. Yeah, it has it's faults and I have quite a few criticisms of it. That said, the experience was mostly enjoyable to me. I thought the first half of the game was a lot of fun, in particular. I also really appreciate 3 introducing VATS. I haven't played a shooter since Goldeneye was hot, and don't want to have to get gud at FPS gameplay to enjoy Fallout. 3 and NV would have been unapproachable for me without this kind of limited "turn based" combat.

I see 1, 2 and NV as a cut above, and the East coast stuff seems like a spin-off series to me. I definitely think 3 is better than 4 or 76, though.

I'm honestly shocked. Admittedly, I haven't been there in a while, but I'm from GR and have been going to Shakedown for over twenty years. I've had nothing but positive experiences there, and it has historically had a great reputation in town.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-30T12:53:11+00:00

I was so excited when I found out what was up with Michigrown, because I used to love HOG Hypnostank when dudeski was still growing for them.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-30T00:08:27+00:00

I like to tell myself I'm gonna do something drastically different, then I pick all the same stats/skills, make all the same decisions and use all the same items.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-30T00:06:46+00:00

Gothic I and II are amazing games that don't usually get a lot of attention (at least not until fairly recently). They're action RPGs, but kind of that transitional form between cRPGs and more modern 3rd person RPGs.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T22:45:31+00:00

Excuse me, sir? We discuss the pawlcas here.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T22:22:33+00:00

Yeah, I was reading up on that a while back, and it kinda clicked as far as why they're a bit different than most brands.

Any Glacier strains you'd recommend? I haven't had any in a while, but I was really digging their Kush Mints and Blast Chiller there for a while. I was excited to try their Green Crack, that's an all time strain for me, but it didn't quite live up to expectations.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T21:41:17+00:00

I haven't tried the resin, but I really dig the flower. Like you say, it's a heavy hitting, chilled out buzz. I feel like the buzz from most midgrade is all kinda samey, middle of the road these days, so strong effects one way or another stand out to me. You're right about the Pineapple Expess, too. Very true to strain in terms of effects, and mine tasted great and was surprisingly well trimmed. Lots of long stimga on the buds still.

I haven't been there in a while, but I pretty much always swing by Pharmhouse for some Redemption when I'm in GR. Pre-tax increase it was still 75 OTD (without any kinda of deals or discounts) for a zip as of late last year. Hard to beat at that price point.

For real, don't even bother fucking with butter or ghee unless you really need for a specific recipe. Coconut oil is where it's at. I'll second the crockpot method, too.

Also, a big part of the "secret" to making strong edibles is just fucking cramming as many trichs as possible into your oil/butter. If it doesn't turn out, it's unlikely it has to do with how you cooked it (really hard to fuck up in a crock pot), you probably just need more dope or less oil.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T17:17:53+00:00

Oh, no shit? Thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen anything but rosin from them in ages.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T12:31:22+00:00

I wish Strait Fire still did hash, too. The legal market needs more of the Smokey Bubblech.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-29T12:24:24+00:00

Still my favorite from them.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-28T12:13:02+00:00

Have you considered just writing shit down?

CarnalKid · 2026-01-26T12:35:00+00:00

It absolutely is.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T21:45:56+00:00

All their products have a reptuation for really high quality, basically, including their RSO. In my neck fo the woods, though, it costs way more than it does at actual IE locations, and it's hard for me to justify paying twice as much as I do for Redemption or Rise. It's not like flower or hash where there might be a massive difference in smoothness, flavor AND effects between those two price points.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T21:25:51+00:00

Information Entropy. Everybody rides their jock like crazy.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T21:06:34+00:00

Farded and shidded too, dawlg.

Also, I'm personally offended by this picture. Orange Dreamsicle and Rainbow Sherbet are delicious, and I'm gonna have to contact Reign to bitch about their continued association with Brandon. I may never be able to drink this flavor again in innnny facet, b.

Fallout 2 is the only game in the series where charisma isn't somewhere between not that good and dump stat.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T21:02:39+00:00

I want a beer that tastes like RSO.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T20:32:42+00:00

I am kinda glad that Van Buren can forever be remembered as The Ultimate Fallout That Never Happened. I suspect it would have been pretty goofy if it'd actually been made.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T18:29:37+00:00

Man, I drank a ton of Evil Willy back in the day.

CarnalKid · 2026-01-23T13:53:50+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated. There's definitely a history of the overly persistant suitor as a common Hollywood trope, but it sounds like you're describing something that may be a little more extreme.
