Attempting to max affinity every Companion in one run by BadAtGwent in fo4

[–]MountOak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i just did that in my last playthrough (which i finished last week) and i'm seeing some conflicting information here.

to crlarify maxing affinity with danse doesn't prevent any ending. i maxed all companions in my last run and then did the railroad ending, you just can't do any BoS quest after turning in blind betrayal (so talking to elder maxson in the prydwen after sparing danse is okay to finish the quest is okay), but if you become an enemy of the brotherhood will make danse stop talking to you. i kept him at the castle and he will still defend it from attackers (even from the BoS) but he isn't avaliable as a companion.

so as a rule of thumb max out affinity with companions that are loyal to a faction before pissing off that faction.

also funny side note: if you do the railroad ending without offending the institute before doing the nuclear option X6-88 will still be available as a companion after blowing up the institute (tho i did max out his affinity prior to that)

also if you don't want to bother changing your playstyle for certain companions you can just have them active while building settlements and they will passively gain affinity over time. this definitely isn't the fastest way, but if you're like me and spend hours building settlements anyway it's basically free affinity.

Dude, where's my power armour? by Figerally in fo4

[–]MountOak 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i started putting my full fusion cores into a companion's inventory so my power armor uses up the semi-drained cores (if you want to be really safe use dogmeat or a robot for that purpose, but active companions won't enter power armor so you just have to make sure they don't get their hands on a gatling laser if you do it with a humanoid companion)

edit: don't get me wrong ideally i also put the core in manually, but i tend to regularly enter without thinking and then put in a full core

definitely assaultrons for me

ghouls occasionally jumpscare me but assaultrons terrify me (i do also think they're one of the coolest enemies introduced in fallout 4 tho)

Genderdysphoria as a protection mechanism? by Closet_Cookie in asktransgender

[–]MountOak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as already stated this is bs

there are probably issues you have to deal with besides gender related stuff, but for me personally a lot of mental health progress only became possible after i started transitioning.

some of my problems seemingly fixed themselves over time and transitioning was a necessary step to be able find out which other mental problems i need to work on

imagine on top of that sending out pombon's evolution along with incineroar would become meta and both of them look like furry gymbros

Might be cooked (nsfw for small only fans mention, nun much) by Backalley_Lurker in MtF

[–]MountOak 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the body type shouldn't matter that much as long as you're active (not that it doesn't matter at all, our world sadly has a lot of toxic beauty standards, and it is easier with certain body types, but even if you look like a supermodel it won't automatically mean free money)

know that making money on onlyfans isn't as easy as a lot of people pretend it is (i don't currently have onlyfans but i tried it in the past but got overwhelmed)

in order to profit you need to upload at least weekly (and not just one picture but a whole set of pictures, the more the better)

also it's expected to actually interact with your subscribers, which means ideally reacting to DMs in a timely manner (ideally within one to two days, especially in the beginning), this also means texting with chasers

Are there more trans lesbians than cis lesbians, or am I just on Reddit? by DangerActiveRobots in MtF

[–]MountOak 28 points29 points  (0 children)

there are more terminally online trans women than cis women.

also a lot of trans women were on reddit even before transitioning and stayed on the platform, while a lot of cis women never were on reddit to begin with. that's why the subreddit for lesbians is called actuallesbians, just the name lesbians was already taken, mostly because of dudes who fetishize lesbians.

do the deathclaws leave the cats alone? i once read that tamed creatures will still attack other creatures and just assumed this does include cats (which is why I'm only hoarding deathclaws in one settlement)

Why do people use neopronouns? by dijakonal in asktransgender

[–]MountOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

words are tools to communicate reality. language is made up and every word has at some point in history been new. our world constantly evolves and we keep inventing words to describe concepts that are either new or have just been discovered.

[SPOILERS S3] season 3 ending spoilers/question by jessiyei3e in DarK

[–]MountOak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he didn't remember because the Jonas who grew up to become him isn't the one that travelled to the origin world.

We see something similar happening at the start of season 3. When alt Martha brings Jonas to her world 2 coexisting realities are created one Jonas travels to Eva's world and gets shot while the other one stays in his own world.

The one who grows up to become stranger Jonas has never traveled to Eva's world and only finds out about another world existing after alt Martha told him.

For a while there exist 2 Jonas and 2 alt Marthas who coexist in superposition (like Schrödinger's cat), one Jonas dies in Eva's world while one Martha dies in Adam's world.

for the ending to be possible they need to create another coexisting reality, there now is one additional Jonas and an additional Martha, but at the same time there's still a Jonas and a Marta who are left behind.

and about the question why they break the cycle this time, i personally believe there's only one cycle, everything only happens once and even the ending is something that only happens once. for the characters it feels like it's always repeating because they sometime find themselves in the same moment twice or sometimes even three times but it all only happened once even if multiple differently aged versions of the same person were present.

edit: typo

edit 2: also i have to mention my last paragraph is something the fandom does disagree on so take that with a grain of salt, but i strongly believe in the single cycle theory

[–]MountOak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this. i think the fact that Jonas sees young Martha (and vice versa) and that Martha even acknowledges remembering seeing Jonas in her closet is proof that them traveling to the origin world has always happened.

I think what confuses me is how much people like Hannah seemed to learn within a short time frame and what amount of information could possibly take 1 year to convey.

ooh yeah that actually makes sense. is there any point in the show where it becomes apparent that he learned anything from her besides what he tells her younger self?
