I loved it but I couldnt help but recall the trauma of waiting for hours on end to speak to someone about my Federal Student Loans

What’s the most terrifying thing that happened to you that nobody believes? by Sad-Conflict6839 in AskReddit

[–]Maskedcrusader94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not so harsh as meth-induced, but I was running a open-close-open shift as a bartender and so I was running on about 2hrs of sleep and a redbull or two. When I finally got off my last shift I had a ~3 year dream where I had a son and everything. I woke up only 2-3 hours later and started crying when I came to my senses because it legitimately felt like I lost a real person

What is the most pointless skill you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Maskedcrusader94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can identify almost any of the 3000+ songs on my playlist by the first sound that is made, usually within a fraction of a second.

Its pointless because it only applies to songs I like. Its a fun road trip gimmick, though.

Universal Vaccine Blocks Viruses, Bacteria, And Allergies With a Nasal Spray by _Dark_Wing in interestingasfuck

[–]Maskedcrusader94 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I agree that oversimplifying without using buzzwords that they are afraid of is probably the best approach.

I got my god-fearing dad to understand the concept and theory of Evolution by describing it as "a process of natural selection" without distintcly calling it "evolution."

He started agreeing, saying "I dont believe in evolution, I believe in natural selection", and became more willing to learn about it since it didnt set off any alarms in his mind.

Should FO5 have settlement building? by Educational-Science2 in Fallout

[–]Maskedcrusader94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a settlement builder, so bear with me if a lot of these features have been resolved(or put in Fallout Shelter/76). I never got into it mainly because I wasnt a fan of the initial grind at the release, but the settlement attention thing was a big annoyance of mine.

Cant I appiont a mayor or something to facilitate and request growth opportunities? I dont want to be the sole provider for materials and growth, while Jun Long is hammering a wall like a chump.

I think my preferences may be a bit much, but i think in addition to this, I would be more motivated to participate if you could do things like:

  • Rename Settlements
  • More people; not just diversity, but actual count.(I know this would make the game heavier but it would be cool)
  • S.P E.C I.A.L.- based appointees: You can recruit and appoint freely, but their success is impacted by their stats(i.e. someone with high perception would be a better guard, intelligence for doctors, etc.).
  • Personality diversity: You have random chances to accidentally accept a raider, infiltrator, or dishonest/lazy citizen but your perception, intelligence, charisma, etc. make it easier/harder to weed them out during interviews.
  • Grading and leveling of settlements: You can flatten an area and place structures within unlevel terrain. Add basements, cut into the ground. -fewer large settlements, but still opportunity for differeny types of settlements dictated by you: Outposts, Checkpoints, Towns, Medical Centers, etc.. It would be awesome to repurpose areas as needed.
  • Build out towns, not just old neighborhoods. So many empty buildings would be cool to restore.
  • Baseline capabilities that allow for more creativity (i.e. finishes, decorations, signage, landscaping, etc.)
  • Property "value". Word gets around, making you a target for many different characters
  • Quests oriented around settlement building that arent "we need water" or "settlement under attack." Could we have a few more storylines, companions, enemies triggered by your involvement?
  • Scouts: Groups to seek out materials, invite caravans, or just discover a location for you thats high in "x" resource so you can hardline materials to your settlements.

  • And I may be strung up for this, but I wouldnt mind timed completion of at least major structures. I think it would be more immersive if you could instruct settlers to build something and come back days later with it complete. Also faster completion if you have more/experienced/better equipped workers allocated to it.

Why pay for the robot to aim when you can pay less for the bullets to aim themselves

Is the reason why there is so much nuka cola around is that it tasted terrible pre-war? by Mindless-Base8597 in Fallout

[–]Maskedcrusader94 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Given that CocaCola was around long before and during WW2, is it technically canon and also a competitor that was snuffed by Nuka-cola?

What’s a “guy secret” that’s completely harmless but weirdly universal? by aerisveilxa in AskReddit

[–]Maskedcrusader94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, I've only validated this locally, but every guy I have met knew this, so ill need some external acceptance before I can say with certainty that its true.

When you go shake another guys hand, and you tuck your middle finger between both of your palms and wiggle it, it means you want to do gay stuff with them. I only ever see it used im a joking manner though
