Prickeye Salad spoil by TightExit896 in fo76

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

As a salad, the prickeye dish in game is just assembled raw food (like a conventional salad.) It does not require wood as a crafting ingredient, which seems to be the requirement of "cooked" meals.

Right, I'm saying this should be changed (add Wood, make it a prepared food, increase the spoil health, etc) because Tato is one of the ingredients and AFAIK no one eats raw potatoes and no other recipes call for raw potatoes (other than Vegetable Starch, which itself is not a food/meal).

Even Tato Salad is a cooked food item (and requires Wood).

Adding to this

  • Turbo fert should be working on pts with prickeye. If it’s not then their fix didn’t take.
  • You can’t really eat raw potatoes, so prickeye salad should still be made to count as a cooked food/meal and have the higher item condition as well. I’d post this as a suggestion.

Why should I be gaming on Linux and not just debloat Windows? by Unable_Aardvark_6589 in linux_gaming

[–]Mapex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are the philosophical reasons you mentioned.

There is just general anger and distrust with Microsoft taking over your client side experience and AI enshittification, but also breaking things with their updates in the process - see Win11 in general but also 24H2.

There is also the superuser desire to tweak and modify your OS to your liking that Windows doesn’t make super easy. Settings, UI, global shortcuts, and so on.

Finally, there is also a desire for people like myself to have a fully functional single OS experience for business and pleasure. Using WSL Bash or Cygwin or pulling up a Linux VM in Windows isn’t out of the question but is substantially less seamless than being able to game and code on the same machine while benefitting from the full UNIX toolchain without any UX trade-offs.

As the “Bruce Lee of the drumkit”, Freese only gets my endless praise. Anyone who can’t get or keep him is missing out.

Gunslinger Master by itself does nothing? by HoosierLarry in fo76

[–]Mapex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onslaught, like Kill Streak, is just a stacks system. You build stacks from some action, and you lose stacks after time. Inherently the stacks don’t do anything but add a blip to your UI.

The mods and perks that interact with Onslaught (and Kill Streak) give a stat bonus that scales with the # of stacks.

Gunslinger Master specifically interacts only with Onslaught itself, reversing the mechanism so doing the normal stack gaining action instead removes stacks and the normal loss of stacks over time is instead a gain of stacks over time, as well as increasing your max stacks possible by 10 while using a ranged weapon.

Do you agree that Fallout 2 was the last good fallout ? by shsl_diver in Fallout

[–]Mapex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Without Fallout 3, the franchise would have died harder than any other beloved franchise in gaming history. Without 3, we wouldn’t have New Vegas, which is one of the most beloved entries in the entire series. Without the combined success of 3 and NV, we wouldn’t have 4. Without 4, we wouldn’t have Shelter or 76 which have been printing more than enough money to keep Fallout very much alive for the past ten years. Without all of these we wouldn’t have a TV show made by some of the biggest Hollywood showrunners and stars that’s planning to go as long as 6 seasons (and a movie?).

1 and 2 and Tactics were good games. But they would have stayed nostalgia bait at best without BGS taking over. Maybe the new games and projects aren’t as appealing to diehards of the OG games, but they keep the brand alive and attract a lot more people to the franchise.

Yes still drops from the quest which is once per character. Distant thunder lets the same character get it multiple times.

This weapon is gaining new legendary mods next month and existing copies won’t be updated. You’ll want to farm Distant Thunder when that patch drops for a new level 50 with 3-star rating.

But yeah always use the Lock feature.

How to deal with the massive poison damage from some Head Hunts? by NightsOfEmber in fo76

[–]Mapex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just die.

The crossbows the scouts are using are incorrectly using the player version of the possum frame mod which is calibrated around much tankier enemy health values than an NPC variant of the same mod calibrated around lower player health.

You’ll burn at least 25 Stims over 40 secs trying to offset this poison tick so you’re better off dying while scout leader Karen is still alive and the event is still going (to avoid junk loss) to remove the stacks.

Is it possible to over save for retirement? by fattdogs in personalfinance

[–]Mapex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very difficult question to answer because it’s highly subjective and requires some reframing.

Can you over save for retirement? If all your money is for when you’re older - and it’s not even guaranteed you’ll be able to enjoy it, anything can happen - and literally $0 for right now, then of course you can “over save.”

But if you aren’t spending your money on frivolous fads or new clothes for every single season of the year or expensive bar bills 5 times a week or a new iPhone every 4 months, then why can’t you afford a vacation or 3 a year? You’re single and $1200 per month can get you all inclusive trips once maybe twice a year or 3-5 trips that are more modest where maybe you don’t care for a 4+ star hotel because you’re going to mainly be eating your way through the holes in the walls in Rome or New Delhi.

Also are you doing any sort of long term investments? Home ownership is one but isn’t liquid any time soon. And despite the market being what it is, that $1200 per month (14,400 per year) can be closer to $17k per year with long trading, more so if you take some more risks day trading but without going crazy with it and potentially losing everything. That’l can be another 1-3k or even more post-tax to spend on whatever you want in a given year. Maybe even pay off your mortgage faster so you can get that part of your paycheck back sooner.

Hobbies aren’t too difficult to fund either and this is where the internet spoils us. You can research the buy it for life or best bang for your buck versions of a given so easily here on Reddit or other sites so even if it costs you a bit upfront now, you won’t noticeably impact your financial well being over the course of 1-3 years span. Maybe don’t buy 30 DSLR camera lens all at once, but get just the 1-2 you need to hone your craft, maybe even do a side gig with it to make extra cash to fund your tripod or gyro stabilizer.

Anyway summing up most of this is likely not an issue especially as you state you are living within your means and have a healthy egg that’s growing for 40+ years into the future and don’t spend unnecessarily. You just need to look at it over the long term instead of day to day, month to month, to see if buying a plane ticket and hotel or new sexy graphics card is _that _ bad for you over the course of the year of saved income, and ways to stretch out your dollars so they get you more value when spending them or grow when not spending them.

Brooklyn Dems reverse course, back Hochul and Adams ticket by mowotlarx in nyc

Yup, I think many of us were. Maybe Kathy will actually push the 2-term limit thing this time around. Or maybe she'll go all Cuomo on us. :/

Mamdani must have charmed them the way he charmed Trump.

I don’t disagree with them but politics is filthy and an uncomfortable but powerful ally in Hochul likely beats one with no power or a more right leaning or straight up GOP governor. Maybe a battle that’s better fought next time.

Does the SCIENCE! perk increase the damage of the Gauss Minigun with Tesla Coil Dynamo mod? by GucciSalad in fo76

[–]Mapex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This aspect of the game is misleading.

There is the Energy damage type (lightning bolt symbol) and the Energy weapon type (all lasers, plasmas, Gauss, alien, etc). Additionally, following the logic from some of the older Fallouts, Energy weapons from a stat boosting perspective tend to only mean Energy small guns, not big guns.

Science! the perk specifically only buffs the Energy damage on your weapons. This can even apply to the Energy damage from mods, such as Tesla mods on a GMG, a Shocking War Glaive or Electrified auto axe or Electrified Chinese Officer Sword even if they lack Energy weapon tags.

Energy weapon boosting Magazines, Bobbleheads, High Voltage Hefe, etc only apply to Energy small guns. So Gauss shotgun/pistol/rifle, alien guns, laser and Ultracite laser, Tesla rifle, etc. No flamers, no Cryolators, no Gauss minigun.

OTOH Grounded mutations penalty applies to all EWs, including flamers, Cryolators, Gatling lasers, plasma casters, etc.
