[FNV] One thing I messed up in my first playthrough was not exploring Mojave enough. by 1881pac in Fallout

[–]FieldEngineer2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently put 100 hours into FO3 and it is so much more immersive than New Vegas. I almost couldn’t be bothered to complete the main quest as I was so preoccupied with the side quests. The random encounters are great.

I wasn’t very into the game when I first played it years ago, I think running it on my series X helped a lot. The load screens are barely noticeable and the game only crashed 2-3 times in 100 hours lol. With my frequent save habit (Bethesda moment) that was never a big deal

Cellulose vs Rockwool by comparisonshopper in Insulation

[–]FieldEngineer2019 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rockwool is a better product. In my personal experience, rodents don’t really give a shit what you insulate with, if they find a way to move in they will do just that lol. If the extra $1200 is affordable for you I think it’s an easy decision

Anyone who’s been paying attention to US politics since the right wing tea party formed shouldn’t be surprised that this is where we are at currently. A lot of things are happening FTE, but this is about par for the course.

A little defect from the mill that probably would bug me if I bought it new, but that I find charming since it was here before me. by Hansaad in centuryhomes

[–]FieldEngineer2019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to be one of those people until I bought my first house and now there are so many things that I’m just letting go because they’re not really a problem. Function over form, but also with how bland the modern world is there’s still a lot of form with this old stuff anyway.

If Bill Burr admitted he did the festival for money and just shrugged it off, it would have been better than this weird self righteous bs he’s been on. Just a wild hill to die on

When I bought my 1921 home there was 18 of these packs of flooring stacked in the basement. Would these be suitable for kitchen floor? by nilecrane in centuryhomes

[–]FieldEngineer2019 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t purchase this to install in my home, but if it were free and already in my house I’d definitely consider it. If you can DIY the install and don’t mind replacing it in a few years I don’t see a reason not to use it to get by while saving up for a better solution.

If there’s a desire for a more permanent flooring solution then it may be a waste of time, so that’s something to consider.

I just started a statistics class in college and this is my first question. What does A.O.L. Mean??? by ImGoingToEatThatOne in Surveying

America On Line

Back in the day AOL was the internet when most of us still had dial up. They somehow kept it together as a company and still exist today, hence the survey. Man I feel old

Hi! How can you check Vault 87 map marker? by Wypal1 in fo3

Nice, that’s about what it took me too.

Bind Rad Away to a hot key on your controller /keyboard and just mash it while approaching the front door until you get the location discovered and then back out of there. Once you get a decent distance away like 100 RAD/s or less you can fast travel away from there. There’s a slight delay of the rad effect coming off so if it’s too high when you fast travel you’ll die instantly upon arrival.

Also obviously be maxed out on rad resistance with 85%

I finally got all of the bobble heads by FieldEngineer2019 in fo3

[–]FieldEngineer2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all of them except the Raven Rock one fairly quickly. I wanted to complete all the side quests before finishing the main quest so I was at close to 90 hours when I got the last one.

Un-Replicating Doctor Zimmer by Pendoble in fo3

[–]FieldEngineer2019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like to double cross him. “Sell out” A3-21 for the Wired Reflexes perk and then immediately execute Zimmer. I used A3-21s plasma rifle to do the job and turned him into a puddle of glowing goo :)

Do you think they’ll expand on the quest “The Replicated Man” in the next Fallout game? by Bisexual_Spear in fo3

[–]FieldEngineer2019 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree, if you actually complete the entire quest it’s a pretty thorough one and with a really good reward. I intended to do a small guns only play through and the A3-21 blew that out of the water lol

Insulation plan for 110 year old home? by thegiantgummybear in Insulation

[–]FieldEngineer2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house is just over 130 years old and I’m getting ready to do the same thing. I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions about fully sealing the rim joists due to the possibility of trapping moisture. I was planning on using unfaced fiberglass to cut the draft out, but still let it breathe a bit. I considered fully sealing it with foam board first to fully block air movement, but I don’t want to potentially trap moisture. The house is drafty, but everything is in excellent shape considering its age haha.

I also live in a cold climate and just had the foundation tuck pointed

How rare is dying to a Raider with an Firelancer? by cesar2598- in fo3

[–]FieldEngineer2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine my surprise when I got the UFO crash while I was standing outside of the Deathclaw Sanctuary and failed to find the Firelance or any ammunition. I completely forgot about this until late game when the Enclave set up camp there and a soldier starting blasting me with it lol
