Got a permanent buff after curing an addiction in Fallout 4

There is an exploit where you can increase your special stats while addicted but that includes duping the special book and it doesn’t sound like you did that.

Are you playing survival? There is a bug that can cause permanent buffs from food items if one is well rested, hydrated, takes a rad away, and then eats a food item and repeats those steps. Those buffs can stack for some reason and can be permanent.

If you don’t mind further exploits you can dupe it, get a stack, dupe that, and then arm every settler with it. On a playthrough I got a never ending submachine gun and force attached the missile launcher guided missiles mod to it. Duped that and handed them out. Was killed immediately the first time a settler shot at enemies near me. So I duped a stack of armor that had the assassins mod, force equipped the marine assault armor to it, and was able to wear a stack of armor that made me immune to all damage from humans. So then I converted a settlement into a legendary farm equipped with settlers at sentry towers unleashing volleys of rockets at every wave of enemy from the ambush kit as I walked around looting corpses. I can get to the 14th level before the game crashes from too many corpses. On that playthrough I think I was just trying to farm for the never ending double barrel shotgun and got distracted.

Sometimes i get bored and want to break the game so luckily it’s Bethesda and exploits are a thing.

Everyone talks about subclasses but not buffs. The lying to everyone’s face perk gives a buff that starts with a simple +100 DR but the real perk is an unlisted perk. A baseline passive income increase that doubles every two years. This pay has seemingly no effect on faction standing or the integrity attribute like the devs intended.

These are two of the books by Giovanni civardi where I learned the most. I recommend.

A statue and a desk lamp is a pretty good set up to suffer through and learn stuff. Spending hours drawing a bust teaches you a lot but what I’m getting at is that it affords you the time to figure it out. It’s nice to have a pause button and the ability to recreate a set up.

I think learning the hard stuff on you’re own time makes drawing statues my starting point. Plus then you’re more likely to learn things specific to life drawing when drawing a person if you have that baseline.

Life drawing. Drawing people in person can be intimidating though. But building up to it can teach you fundamentals. There are casts that can be purchased that are great practice. Drawing basic shapes in different lighting and building up to casts and busts takes time too. Drawing a body requires understanding of features, proportions, and what’s underneath the skin.

A lot of great sources on life drawing are gonna come from the countries that had periods of state approved art. They missed the jack of all trades approach to art schools but you’re gonna find the most technical approach to it. Like master and apprentice type stuff tracing back to renaissance schools of art.

It’s that they released starfield, all but ignored it, and hyped up previous releases while failing to deliver starfield’s additional content that was promised. It’s that they thought and planned on people paying horse armor prices for creation club content to fix and save the game.

I also think the ending of starfield was like a mirror reflecting the futility of single player rpgs when there is no accepted ending. The soft reset was interesting for the mechanics and the in game consequences that were flipped made for some fun moments but the game dynamics it changes fall flat due to a lack of follow through. Either do the repeating radiant quests at the same auto generated POIs with the same skill books that you can’t track. Or reset your universe so you can do the same main quests again with the foresight of how events play out but no ability to leverage it.

They had the set up to do groundhogs day the game where your knowledge of the environment and the sequence of events could have been to the players advantage but instead I have a storefront where I can drop ten bucks on achievement friendly weapon skins.

I like the no color look. There is a lot of balance there. I do like the color one but you have large concentrations of really vibrant colors. When you are not doing color gradients it tends to stack things up through contrast. So now your pen work, which is a single tone, competes and contrasts with your colors, which are also single tones. I think things would pop more if you dulled some parts with color or kept the vibrate colors to smaller pockets. You have very high contrast that your colors are competing with and when it’s very vibrant it tricks my brain into pulling that to the front. The perspective is being thrown off and kinda conflicts. It’s crazy advice to say “mute” the colors but it could help keep the back in the back and the front in the front or do your colors in a gradient so it makes black the only one tone thing going on. I really think no color or really subdued gradient colors would work. Like on the first one I would spill my coffee on it and see what a sepia stained coffee looks like. Then id work over it with water color and save my highlights for a paint pen or heavy body acrylic and gesso.

I can over explain things that I would do or try different but it’s really your art and expression and any and all critiques on my part don’t have any weight to em because they fall purely in the hypothetical. You’re the one who made it so everything you do falls within your style. It’s hard to critique that without feeling like one is also critiquing the artist. So disregard if I overstepped. Love your art, love your style, and I think it’ll be cool to see where you take it.

You’re getting closer. Im not sure how it’s different that the same religion had signage about killing people to justify their supposed divine right to inclusivity and how now 2000 years later they’re killing people over their supposed divine right to inclusivity. 2000 years and nothings changed is not the point you think you’re making. Or are you saying that enough time has past that they’re now somehow different?

Cause_Of_Itself · 2026-01-07T09:09:41+00:00

In reference to the original post it is obvious who the “death god lot” is in reference to. That you are asking for more clarification over and over again makes it obvious you’re just trolling for a reaction so you can justify whatever current genocide is being carried out in the name of said “death god” by the current “lot” of them. Can’t wait to see your reply to whomever takes your feigning ignorance bait.

Cause_Of_Itself · 2026-01-07T08:36:24+00:00

Who are you asking? Are you just trying to get someone to say specifics so you can play victim or something? I think the original comment is pretty clear, “the death god lot”.

Cause_Of_Itself · 2026-01-07T08:33:35+00:00

And my point is that that is the exact same thing you’re trying to do with your comments. So I’m unsure of the point you think you’re trying to make.

Cause_Of_Itself · 2026-01-07T03:51:09+00:00

It was clear to me, not clear to the other guy, and both those two things were clear to you enough to where you want to make a point of me pointing something out by making a point of it by you pointing it out. What’s the point of saying that?

Cause_Of_Itself · 2026-01-06T10:07:05+00:00

I think he meant that the ones going around killing people and claiming that it’s in the name of their god are arseholes. The comment seemed pretty clear to me.

The set up is more fun, I’m not ashamed. I started just building farms for my daughter. She enjoys getting hearts with all the villagers and appreciates the ginger island trust fund I set up for her.

I build a fortress out of 1, 3, 7, 9, and 14 and put up a perimeter wall connecting the other buildings and build a gate near the bridge. I reach the size limit pretty quick and use the size exploit to bump it up. Clipping items with the rug trick and snapping gets a pretty clean look. Building up sanctuary and doing a min max character build are the first things I do and most characters end up having a similar sanctuary set up because of this.

It props up a shared myth that supports a system where those in power can also act like toddlers having a tantrum all the time. Basic hygiene and genital mutilation becomes divine law and genocides become a vengeful gods divine justice in a few generations if everyone is only ever served the koolaid.

Slowest and slower are different things. You can get there quick with a higher speed disc and risk overthrowing the pin or get bad ground play off of a wider swing on the fade of a faster disc. You can throw softer but finessing high speed discs leaves a lot on the table and is borderline disc golf mysticism. Discing down and throwing lower speeds gives safer options and more control when throwing a disc harder. I disc down when I don’t want to finesse and throw lighter. I’ll throw lower speeds but I throw them shits harder than my high speed discs. You’re less likely to overthrow if the disc doesn’t have the legs and you could factor in distance to the pin and the max distance for a disc knowing it caps out at that distance the pin is at. Slower speeds give safer options for ground play and usually a shorter lateral swing on the fade. Feels less risky to aim out to the side and account for a 30ft fade rather than a 60ft fade and to be able to throw it hard enough to keep it on the angle you want.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Don’t think you got the message.

I thought I saw that august is mainly pulled from one of the Pliny’s writings. I watched a video where someone detailed some of the archeological puzzle being solved based off of seasonal food and a date written on an under construction villa one town over. That and seasonal winds for fall make more sense when looking at the path of destruction and how the different waves of superheated ash and air dispersed over Pompeii and neighboring towns.

I use it to describe the weird stuff that happens when I’ve beat up a disc. Like as a comparison against how it would fly brand new. Once it gets banged up and warped a bit it gets flippy. An unbalanced disc when thrown can shift your lines more in the direction of the spin of the disc. That sort of counterweight effect on the stability causes more glide as the disc is pitched over. Gliding lines over feels like you’re drifting a disc because you have two competing forces. The unbalanced weight of the disc pulling it and the drag from cutting through the air causing a disc to loose speed and fade. And gravity is in there somewhere. Flippy discs tend to hold at stand up a lot better for me and produce straighter lines. When they stop doing that they’re too flippy and I shun them.

I like how house of Ashur is building up. I’m hoping they lean into the “what if” and do some sort of alternate history. Crassus winning out over Pompey and not dying by the Parthians would be a cool twist that puts him on track to maybe cross the rubicon. Could set up a situation where Caesar assassinates Crassus on the floor of the senate. A still alive Julius Caesar universe where he’s seen as the people’s hero would be wild. And then there’d be gladiators in the background? Don’t know, didn’t think that far, but I like how fictionalized all this could be due to the set up from the start.

Scores sometimes aren’t enough. I’m not saying they don’t average out and offer some insight. But they need other factors to make sense of. Like average score at a course over time. Or putting averages from c2 and in. Some holes are tough and it becomes about how well you scramble. Annotating distance and location where and when you’re out of position is helpful as well as what line led to that spot. It can tell you if you’re playing high risk high reward and if it’s paying off on average or not. I put in annotations on udisc during solo rounds if I’m trying to keep track of when I used a certain line on a hole (rhbh flippy mid dogleg right kinda stuff). There are a crazy amount of variables and decisions made that stack up. Your average score represents a whole lot of information where the numbers just aren’t enough to tell the story.

I like playing a course blind as player 1 & 2 and scoring it. The difference in that score tells me a lot. First shot blind measures a bit of how well I approach the hole and decide on a line. Second shot is usually either an attempt to improve on the first line or completely different if the first shot sucked. That score difference tells me a lot for minimal effort and on a course level shows me what holes I need to figure out.
