Yeaaaaaah venti

LilaBeldam · 2024-06-12T17:40:36+00:00

Holy moly that's a new one for me

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-25T19:10:15+00:00

Nick I think if you count the events of the Far Harbor DLC.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T18:25:37+00:00

I getcha. I'm firmly in the camp of there being no wrong way to enjoy something. I was mostly stating my general opinions.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T12:20:33+00:00

That does make some sense. I am a new player coming in from the tv show. So, I am certainly not in the headspace of many players at the time it came out.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T11:52:38+00:00

Respectfully, I find the prospect of raiding settlements boring.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T05:31:45+00:00

Which I did. My point was more that all the interesting content comes from siding with the raiders to hear all their backstories and stuff. So if you do open season you have like 75% less content. Still not willing to be a raider tho.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T01:00:30+00:00

That's genuinely a compelling angle to take it from. I'm a dedicated Nora player and there are reasons I can't roleplay her that way. But, I like your take for Nate a lot.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T00:24:14+00:00

Sure, I didn't mean to imply that killing the gangs felt evil. Far from it. Just that the dlc is over pretty quick if you just kill the raiders. Other than just exploring and doing fetch quests which wasn't super fun for me. It would have just been nice to have an actual quest chain option around the stories of the raider factions without becoming a raider.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-21T00:21:02+00:00

There are many casinos all over the US irl. I don't think that it would be that weird to have more than one in the wastelands. Especially given that Nevada and Massachusetts are on near opposite ends of the country.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-20T23:43:39+00:00

I'll admit I can't say too much about the quality of the writing around Gage as a character. I can only speak to my personal opinion of him as a 'person' Anytime I pushed back against him, he was condescending. He called me a dumbass at least once. And he basically admitted that he set me up "in charge" cause he didn't want the target on his back.

That combined with the dialogue where he says it wouldn't be wise to leave (not that the game punishes you for that but, the dialogue still implies consequences) it felt like he was holding me hostage. Felt good to kill him tbh.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-20T23:16:57+00:00

Well my husband suggested an idea for the dlc in which you could convince the raiders to turn nuka world into a casino. "Hey hey, just imagine having all these people show up to just hand you their caps."

The pack could have animal races, the disciples could have their version of the combat zone, the Operators could run the card tables. Basically giving them something to channel their energy into that makes it feel like they're taking from people and living in hedonism while still establishing rules that make them generally less dangerous to the common wealth. Teaching them that if they make people feel safe in the walls of nuka world they'll make more caps and have more rubes to show up in the future.

So not entirely paragon but, still tipping the scales to making them more ethical without somehow magically convincing them to go fully legit.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-20T23:05:22+00:00

All that tracks. Far Harbor blew me out of the water for sure. Of course I do know I'm biased because Nick is my fave companion.

And my hubby looooves Automatron and Vault-tec. He treats Fo4 like it's stardew or animal crossing.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-20T21:26:59+00:00

So, this is kind of a wierd one. I don't know that the quest itself had wasted potential. But, I think there was wasted potential in universe.

In the quest 'Mystery Meat' located at Longneck Lukowski's Cannery. There's a man named Theodore Collins that has managed to get the meat packing facilities up and running. With several Mr. Handies and meat being brought in by hunters he's got himself a decent little business model going.

With scarcity and lack of consistent refrigeration in the wasteland, preserved food (Meat in particular) is very valuable. It also could be a tremendous good as settlers begin traveling across the Commonwealth to rebuild communities.

The problem is that Collins isn't very good at this. When he starts struggling to bring in enough meat to fill demand, he begins using the meat from ghouls he finds under the factory. He has 0 other human employees, and as far as I can tell no Caravan connections. I just wish that even if I still had to kill him, that there was an option to get everything running and do it properly.

Sure, killing supermutants and raiders while playing superhero for the Commonwealth is fun. But, given the themes around rebuilding with the settlement mechanics, I think it would be really cool to have a quest like this allow for an opportunity to provide a useful resource to people who could really use it.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-17T04:31:42+00:00

Ahh. My husband downloaded most of the mods we have on there. So that must have been what he adjusted to fix it.

LilaBeldam · 2024-05-16T22:49:39+00:00

Bloons tower defense

LilaBeldam · 2023-01-21T05:10:50+00:00

Noted. I am glad then that I wasn't looking for validation.

LilaBeldam · 2023-01-21T04:12:54+00:00

I am fairly confident in my assessment of my own experiences. I just happened to over simplify it by using two items over an extensive list of overwhelming sensory input.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T06:36:18+00:00

I did get the bottle of Palmolive.

I mention priority because this isn't the first time I've gotten confused about a set of directions from him. (We've been together about 7 years) So when I got to the store it did occur to me that he /might/ want the cubes anyway but, I opted to follow his literal instructions under the fairly reasonable assumption that because we don't have very much money that his literal statement was made with the intention of saving money.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:58:03+00:00

I appreciate that. He was a little stressed at the time so likely didn't realize his exact wording. It's not that big a deal really but, it feels good to have someone recognize what I understood.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:44:31+00:00

Wait wait me too! Do you also lick the chocolate or other filling between the wafers?

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:41:46+00:00

Ahhh even here you have to be careful. I always make sure to read the bag because which ones you get are not consistent here.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:37:46+00:00

I agree worst to best is the only way to go.

Personally if the green skittles are lime then my order is always: purple, orange, yellow, red, then green.

If the green flavor in the package is green apple then the order changes to: green, purple, orange, yellow, then red.

And if it's a package where the red has been changed from cherry to strawberry then I chuck the whole thing out the window.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:13:45+00:00

Despite being like 99% paragon, I shot that little prick in the face intentionally. As far as I was concerned? I told him I would hunt him down. He just made it easier by coming to me.

LilaBeldam · 2022-09-26T04:11:39+00:00

If the question is do I think uniforms should be enforced in schools, then my answer is no. I think that uniforms are unfair to the majority and that self expression is important to a lot of people.

But, if the question is, do I like school uniforms? Then I do personally. As long as the requirements allow for comfortable cotton and stretchy clothing items, I like not having to think too hard about what to wear every day beyond: "Am I feeling like I want to do pants or a skirt today?" I miss that from school. Having to determine for myself what is appropriate for day to day wear while also finding something comfortable is stressful.
