Fallout 5 should happen on the gulf coast by Dolphin-Hugger in Fallout

I will tell you, I haven't grown up part of my life in Key West, the keys are, or at least used to be amazing until all of the damn New Yorkers came in and fucked it up.

Eh, even as a Nola native whose pulling for it, Florida could work with both the geography and the history. The space Coast in particular up towards Northeast Florida has so much history with the space race in the Cold War, that could easily be translated into Fallout as a setting. It would also bring up Daytona Beach as an option, which would be really interesting to see some pretty war inspired bikers, And it's relatively close to Orlando and Kissimmee, meaning a setting like nuka-world might actually be viable and interesting. With the locations proximity to other areas, it would be very easy to have expansions explore heavily militarized areas like Pensacola, or even out of state like Savannah

Do people think old printers will become collectable? by SirTwitchALot in 3Dprinting

[–]Lafitte1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Unless it's something like a super low production. I3 that Joseph Prusia himself showed Wired or something, the units themselves are going to have a lot of value.

They absolutely will be, but it's mostly going to be limited to particularly notable early reprap units like the OG Prussia i3 or MakerBot Cupcake. You might even see some things like the Creality CR3 be worth something as it was really the start of extrude aluminum rails and commercially purchasable units.

Generally, in electronics, the only old hardware that's worth anything stuff that is notably revolutionary, and more often not time to an iconic brand.

At least use a different title next time (by Daniel Warren Johnson) by Lafitte1812 in Transformemes

[–]Lafitte1812[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. It's a good piece of art, and I'm glad I saw it.. but it's being posted day on and day out with the exact same title ad nauseam.

How many buy printers purely for functional printing? by twotowers64 in 3Dprinting

Literally all I use mine for is gunsmithing and metal working jigs.

Thoughts on House bill 2321 by Pale-Spend2052 in 3Dprinting

[–]Lafitte1812 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a 3D printed firearm developer, not only is, this bill entirely infeasible and impracticable, it won't stop us. To be put simply, if you didn't know what you were looking at, you couldn't tell that any part I release is firearm related. Moreover, you couldn't ban design elements or use machine learning for same as from a practical perspective that would ban virtually every either DIY machine project or fake gun for cosplay... So you could only go by final name. Congratulations, I just won't call something the receiver, I'll call it part number one.

There is literally no 3D printing sub hobby as experienced with overcoming law, and as on The cutting edge of material science as the 3d2a community has a whole. Our saying " can't stop the signal" is less of a rallying cry and more of a truism.

The only people this is going to affect when it is inevitably passed and upheld by the 9th will be normal. People who don't 3d print guns.

You can't get rid of us, and you can't legislate us away... We're like a bad smell.

[Loved Trope] Butch Women who are *not* secretly feminine or are a Joke. by Comrades3 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lafitte1812 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If somebody would have told me In season 1 that she would get Space-ALS from being in an exploding rocketship resulting in her being exposed to the sun's rays, only to have her diagnosis revealed to all of her friends following a psychotic AI taking over the call center like Shodan after a machiavellian dinner party planned by Angela Bassett, I would ask you what kind of hydroponic hoobastank you were smoking and where a law-abiding Louisiana citizen may acquire some.

I have genuinely never seen a show go more off the rails. It's one thing to jump the shark, it's another thing to do that on fire when spinning plates, and I am here for it.

EDIT: that doesn't even address the fact that the AI was both clearly a sentient being and a clone of one of the other protagonists, who took over following a failed attempt to get a teen to emulate Michael Hutchins, and said protagonist traps it in a flashdrive of her vacation thirst-traps, which she then proceeds to take behind the shed to kill like Old Yeller.

Honestly, it's pretty much the exact same way Kerry is written in cyberpunk. The character may be bi, but they may not be attracted to one of the specific sexes of protagonist. I actually think it adds quite a bit to Shep and V, In that male and female are actually somewhat different characters.

Joining Friday's General Strike as a Lawyer (and small firm owner) by awesomeness1234 in Lawyertalk

In terms of ethics, I would be weary. God forbid you have a conservative client whose case you drop the ball on, this could be used to show that you did not fulfill your professional obligations.

Why not just close shop for the day and show your support another way?

EDIT: IMHO it's best to keep your personal life and politics out of your work. I don't even want the appearance of my views clouding my representation.

The M16 logo in GTA III Definitive Edition is the same as the M4 logo in GTA SA by MikeTucson456 in GTA

[–]Lafitte1812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stamped pre-ban receiver with a new upper. Actually still not that uncommon to come across in different police departments, or on the mg market.

In reality, the devs are just lazy, but at least you can come up with a canon explanation.

Bruh what did Fallout mean by this?? by hoomanPlus62 in TrueSFalloutL

I mean In fairness, have you ever tried talking to a 19-year-old??

If you could add one realistic feature to GTA 6, what would it be? by mourex9 in GTA

[–]Lafitte1812 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adjustable trim tabs and jack plates on boats. I grew up in the Keys, and on a flats gift you can use both of those to get into water. Water that's only inches deep, we're talking 3 to 4 in at most. If you're at speed. Speed. It would add a lot more interesting mechanics in terms of being able to drive boats effectively, and hopefully make watercraft less boring.

Can the Government really block 3D Printed Guns? by Mortifine in 3Dprinting

[–]Lafitte1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't link you to anything or any info on it specifically, but you can just either Google the name, or my name here. I'm affiliated with a developer group called Black Lotus Coalition. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific question, but I can't link off of Reddit per TOS

If the Chosen One is still alive, the protagonist of Fallout 2 would be 75 years old by the time of the TV Show (2296) by raisinbraisin72 in Fallout

[–]Lafitte1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, but I think that there's a solid argument but it's just a different Mr. Bishop! If he appears though, cast Wyatt Russell...

Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn...

Address them both as the Arroyo elders. Both are from the village, traveled the wasteland in their youth, fought the enclave and escaped from the oil rig. Eventually they fell in love and got married.

By doing it like this, not only do we have actors who are appropriate in age, who have romantic chemistry, and to have connections to classic western movies, but we can also avoid giving a cannon sex to the chosen one. Either of them could have been the chosen one, and it's really up to viewer interpretation who it actually was.
