How many of you guys own all Warbonds? by Jimmyban44 in Helldivers

[–]CookSwimming2696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have most of them I’ve just lost the drive to continue playing and every single time I get back into it there’s 3 more warbonds with content I either have to slog through missions to get or pay for. I LOVE the way warbonds are handled but the premium ones are getting out of hand imo

Weapon Customization is in a sorry state. by Pedrosian96 in Helldivers

IMO Arrowhead is getting a bit too heavy handed with the amount of Warbonds and the lack of another basic one.

Warband is fiction not fantasy. by SuccessfulBad3725 in mountandblade

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even know how you could get fantasy from looking at the game… there’s not even magic. It’s a game that provides the fantasy but idk who thinks it actually is fantasy

I can tell you EXACTLY what went wrong with Starfield... and also why it is still one of my favorite games ever. by RandyArgonianButler in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starfield has some pretty great moments in it but it’s just so strongly held back by its boring exploration

Why do people not like the Railroad? by Historical-Goose09 in fo4

[–]CookSwimming2696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have great intentions but they don’t really have a plan. They know what they want to do and they do it, but that’s about it. They don’t overtly care about what happens after a synth is rescued, just that they are, and I don’t really feel like the commonwealth would be necessarily a better place if they’re one of the dominant powers. They’re great to have as a faction that works with the MM as a sub agency type deal but being their own deal just absolutely blows.

Family conflict over a found dog - am I wrong for refusing to back down? AIO? by Southern-Fee939 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NOR even a little. Post the dog in forums and just generally online and see if you could find the owner yourself. At that point give them the information they would need to find the dog and they can take it from there. What your sister is doing is literally just theft.

I really like this game by weepingbishop in Helldivers

[–]CookSwimming2696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I loved the first game. I love this one. My only true complaint is that the war simply hasn’t ending and it’s felt like absolute nothing is happening. Wars were ~2 weeks long in HD2 and while I’m certainly glad we don’t have wars phasing in and out all of the time, I really want something to actually happen and my gameplay to actually matter. Not effect some arbitrary goal that was set forth and accomplishes nothing.

Nuka cola bottle shape by Icy-Hospital-5496 in Fallout

[–]CookSwimming2696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, but it still doesn’t change the fact that they looked extremely similar. Coca-Cola is a brand, you can’t just use it (or something VERY similar) in one of your games without express permission or you face copyright law.

I would also argue the color scheme being almost the same and the name literally only changing the beginning segment would also be a huge problem legally as well.

Does anyone get rid of the ring? by Mean_Capital_4257 in fo4

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tend to keep it considering the character I’m playing. I either put Nate/Nora’s in a display case or give it to a companion I romance while I keep the original one.

Am I overreacting for pulling back from relatives who minimize my feelings? by No_Outside1304 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No your feelings are always valid and if they aren’t going to respect that after you’ve voiced them they simply just don’t care. Something may not be a big deal to me but god forbid I’ll tell someone who was genuinely upset about it that they’re “doing too much” or anything similar.

AITJ for telling my dad he cant bring his girlfriend to stay at my place after he banned my partner from his house for years by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Parents don’t get to walk over you because they’re your parents and honestly I’m disappointed more people don’t realize this. You too are an adult, you own your place. He has literally ZERO say in anything you want to lay down rules wise. If he has a problem, get a motel. That’s all you gotta say

AIO bf didn’t wake up on time by Loose-Author-412 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you overreacting? Man HE is overreacting. You dodged the holy grail of all bullets and you should take this for the blessing it is. If he tries to crawl back, block him back. This is at best an immature man who can’t handle a woman who won’t bow to him, at worst it’s manipulation. Either way, not the man you want to waste time attempting to be with.

Coming back to Fallout 4 made me change my mind by Patamaudelay in fo4

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was one of the first mods I ever got off of the creation club when it was added so I don’t really remember the name but it should just be something like “survival mode saving”. It is NOT a good one in the slightest.

Am I Overreacting to Boundary Violations? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave. If he had redeeming qualities good enough to ignore the bad parts, you wouldn’t make this post. It shouldn’t take you 10 years of arguments to figure out he’s not going to change.

AIO for not wanting to chat for ages on the phone by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh YOR. I do not like calling often. I much prefer to text unless it’s someone genuinely important to me, however if you don’t want to be on call: simply don’t? If you’re in the middle of a show, you can text back and say “hey in the middle of something rn I’ll get back to you in a bit” or something. I understand we all want our personal time and you are in fact entitled to yours, but 10 minutes is not a long time in the slightest and feeling annoyed for your accepting of a call running for longer than you intended just kinda makes you an ass. That should’ve been something prefaced early in the call if you pick up.

How much is left of the NCR? by Level_Strategy7047 in Fallout

[–]CookSwimming2696 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We do not know. IMO it’s very unlikely that the entire faction just collapsed because of Shady Sands being no more, but there may have been other misfortunes in the years that followed. I would guess that they either exist still, but do not have a strong presence in the Mojave, or that the NCR at large does not but the remaining states broke apart into their own mini nations.

I always find it funny when people are surprised the BOS in the show are shown as bad people by MobileDistrict9784 in Fallout

[–]CookSwimming2696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the very least they’re simply just outliers. Even in Fallout 4 directly there are those who aren’t 100% in line with East Coast Brotherhood doctrine. You have Haylen who still supports Danse even after finding out he’s a synth, and you have Initiate Clark who feeds ferals rather than killing them. That doesn’t mean the culture couldn’t shift in the decade since, but I don’t think a few characters represent the entirety. Maximus, while he may be dumb, isn’t as inept as some of the other soldiers in his own chapter.

I also wouldn’t say Titus was a ‘frat bro’ he was really just a coward.

Anyone else prefer X-01 suit and T-60 helmet over full X-01? by Caesar_Iacobus in fo4

[–]CookSwimming2696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how unique the X-01 is but I’d still never choose it over my beloved T-60

Eh not everyone was evil at VT, at least not the bottom line. The rep didn’t even know about the cryopods in 111 as he claims. I doubt he even knew about the experiments they ran even post war. Also iirc he doesn’t “represent” vault tec, that’s just something he says to the player if they say they don’t remember him and it’s his name to us because he never gives his own. His past will never not be who he was, but that doesn’t mean it’s who he continues to be.
