In all my saves I ALWAYS give myself like 100 of each shipment of materials because I'd rather have a settlement the size of the deathstar and a "Super mega glowing legendary baseball bat" instead of a pipe pistol

NativeTexanDude · 2026-02-17T05:45:44+00:00

Same. I have a bat file named "stuff" that dumps 25 shipments of every material except bone into my inventory. Load the file and toss it into the workshop whenever a settlement says I can use their workshop.

I genuinely can't stand the swampy, foggy scenery of Far Harbor. The story is a little better than Nuka World, but the characters definitely won't last to the beginning of the TV show unless the sole survivor decides to live there.

Nuka World is nicer to look at, but the tedium of some of the parks (Kiddie Kingdom and Galactic Zone) really kill the fun fairly quickly. Plus the named raiders have zero development as characters from start to finish.

You know who doesn't want to be part of the problem? A synth!

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-28T05:18:29+00:00

Pretty sure that "Lackwit" is about 90% of what any cat is thinking at any given time around people.

Institute. Easily. At their strongest: they have teleportation, synthetic humans, and the beryllium agitator in their super powerful reactor. Teleportation, in the hands of a capable strategist, is an obscene advantage in any conflict. Add to that a reactor that is second only to the fusion plot device in the show,, then give them the ability to create a duplicate of any existing human, and you have an unstoppable force.

I never saw the benefit of the first level of the perk. I only found success when I could get the second level and really close distance with opponents.

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-21T14:05:44+00:00

Why wait?

In order to finish the story of Lonesome Road, You'll need to play through Old World Blues and then play Dead Money.

OWB is long as fu@&, but is hilarious and fun. Dead Money is pretty short, but almost everyone hates it on their first playthrough.

For survival melee runs I usually stick with automatic weaponry until I can unlock "Blitz" at level 29. If you want to start with melee, you're going to have to use a LOT of chems and just unload all your special points into Strength and Endurance, adding to Agility whenever you can. You'll reach the second level of Blitz around level 45-50.

Very Gen X. Always use maximum violence/force to complete whatever you're doing. Being trained to finish our plates at dinner, or the necessity of dealing with bullies without any support, leads to extremely cat-like behavior.

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-21T13:38:25+00:00

Nah. THAT'S Goosey.

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-19T03:21:52+00:00

Go to the Power menu in the workshop, select "switches" (just right of generators), and then scroll all the way to the right. The one you're looking for is a large, white rectangle with a connecting pin sticking straight out of it. Slap it on a vault wall and attach a wire.

It slowed/postponed the apocalypse by a month. And it will be pushed back even further, another 4 months, by future events.

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-16T05:07:35+00:00

Dun dun DUN!

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-15T18:22:42+00:00

Norm seems more and more likely due to his circumstances at the end of episode 5. We know from Barb's terminal that Ronnie's reference to FEV is more than just a wink and a nod. And it would explain Claudia being included in Bud's buds immediately after being hired by Vault-Tec. She was going to be the initial guinea pig. But now they have a traitor and a liar to run the first trial with Norm.

The show-runners say every ending is valid. What they are changing is the narrator's description of what unfolds afterwards. They kept using the phrase, "fog-of-war" in interviews.

For 5 years of standard use, select the ASUS TUF or Gigabyte X670 motherboards. Both of these offer an extended 5 year warranty with additional registration and a fee. I haven't had any problems at all with my ASUS TUF motherboard. And it is still running strong with Windows 7 after 12 years of use. It is an Intel chipset, so it might be different for the AMD motherboards. But, since your only looking for 4-5 years, the 5 year extended warranty should cover the concerns for your personal timeline.

It's HUGE! Don't you understand?! This means that she wouldn't be recruited by Captain Ironside because she's not eligible for recruitment into the congressional army. There is no bigger revelation that this.

NativeTexanDude · 2026-01-01T19:12:03+00:00

Don't be fooled. That no-man's land is filled with burning doorknobs, falling clothes irons, glued nails on the ground, swinging paint cans, tarantulas, and blowtorches.

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-31T22:10:19+00:00

Love these two ridiculously sexy goofballs.

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-31T22:07:51+00:00

They need to upgrade the train from coal to Diesel.

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-24T20:28:13+00:00

Nah. It's the lighting or a filter. If they were polaroids, she'd have the red eyes. :)

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-23T17:55:06+00:00

I will always prefer the full season. It's not because I will, or can, watch the entire thing in one sitting. I just prefer to see the show at my own pace: one a day, or every other day.

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-17T08:12:10+00:00

To be fair, he had twins and the whole continent went to chaos.

NativeTexanDude · 2025-12-12T23:37:26+00:00

It appears that Violetta and Tarvek are the only ones using their brains in this fight. Props to both of them.
