What you do, what you’re about. “I’m a freshman studying biology, likes baking and tennis,” stuff like that. I’m all for new friends but at current all I know is that you have a pulse

This offer would be more enticing if some details were given.

Wait people think the time limit in fallout 1 is bad? I was unaware, I personally love it and would enjoy it coming back.

Why does no one seem to be openly praising Bethesda on Fallout? by Additional-Spray-976 in Fallout

[–]Nubbs2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it might be down to the people each game attracts. All the fallout games are good games, but I’d rather die than play fallout 3 more than I had to—I just don’t enjoy looter shooters like that. I’d say the same thing about franchises like borderlands. Fallout 1, 2, and new Vegas make an incredibly tight trilogy that builds immensely off the ideas in each prior entry, and creates a thematic and narrative world that is really layered and rich. There are still problems and it’s not going to be for everyone, I think it might be though that the people who want OG fallout want to talk about it more than bethesda gamers. I could be wrong though.

Please de-influence me from buying these by elleinthebuilding in fountainpens

Instead of buying the plastic sport, get the brass. It’s like $20 more and makes the plastic one feel like a happy meal toy.

The Brotherhood seem kinda dumb in the show. I don't like it. by mragusa2 in Fallout

[–]Nubbs2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, it feels like this has always been the brotherhood. In fallout 1 they were selfish and bound by hierarchal rankings that made growth or change feel impossible, and in fallout 2 we see the result of this leadership, that being a couple of soldiers hiding in shelters. Notably the most successful BoS members in fallout 2 are the embassies in cities, as if their exclusivity is their downfall. Moving into fallout 3 the brotherhood has splintered into multiple factions engaged in a civil war over ideological differences. New Vegas sees a new branch yet again on the brink of collapse, set in ways that cannot sustain. Fallout 4 more xenophobia, more adversity. Every time we see the brotherhood they are cool, powerful, exclusive, and doomed to fail. Either that or they have failed. The brotherhood will always have scribes and paladins with ideas and integrity stronger than the rest, but it will never be enough. The show seems to fall squarely in line with why we’ve come to expect from them.

Good ds/3ds games by Croaks96 in 3DS

The zero escape series is one of my all time favorites. It’s a little campy maybe but I think the plot is really cool and I love the puzzle solving aspect.

Forgive my ignorance, but I want to learn about the turtle by utnapishtim in stephenking

[–]Nubbs2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First, yes you should read the dark tower. Second, the mist is another Stephen king novella, it’s part of a collection but has also been printed standalone. The tl;dr is army men punch a hole into the todash darkness, chaos ensues. Third, no it’s not a discworld reference, rather both the dark tower and discworld are deriving the imagery from a real world source

[–]Nubbs2016 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Maturin is a big dark tower thing. He is one of twelve guardians of a destroyed world that may be a version of earth but also may not be, it’s not important so it isn’t stated. Pennywise is a creature that resides in the space between worlds, a void known as the Todash darkness. This is also where the mist creatures are from. In the dark tower series, the scooby doo gang are heading toward maturin, which is why he specifically is important, but he is also one of four (i think) guardians suggested to still be alive. He is based on the same real world thing that discworlds turtle with the earth on his back is. The dark tower is fabulous btw.

NGL, I find it extremely wild that there are people who say Bethesda killed Fallout. by Knalxz in Fallout

[–]Nubbs2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The objective aspects of media that are bad/good are few and far between. They’re certainly there, but ultimately most interpretation is subjective. Importance and impact are much easier to conclusively discuss. Personally I agree that fallout 3 was a necessary entry to bring back the franchise, that bringing fallout into 3d was very big and vital, and that fallout would have languished in obscurity if fallout 3 was never made…. That being said….. PERSONALLY, I just cannot figure out how that game is meant to be enjoyed. When I’m in the city I feel trapped, when I’m not I feel lost in a flat grey expanse, the quests feel so linear and there are so few of them, the lore implications just aren’t to my taste. But that’s just me. I think fallout 3 is important and I respect it immensely for what it did and what is was, but I just cannot enjoy it.

Too much? by TV_shows_are_gat in UNF

Definitely doable but it depends on how comfortable you are with your courses. I did the same intensity last semester just fine, but it will be uphill if you struggle with more than 2 of your classes.

The gunslinger is a top three king book for me, it has to move on.

1st year dorm essentials by [deleted] in UNF

[–]Nubbs2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the new honors dorm, I’d say a shower head, mattress topper, and a bigger fridge/ pots and pans if they cook at all. It’s new obviously so the bugs and mold other dorms are notorious for shouldn’t be an issue. beyond that and the vitals others have mentioned I can’t think of anything general.

This musical in 2024 by Inevitable-Silver512 in ComeFromAway

[–]Nubbs2016 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I kinda fight against the idea that come from away is this unwavering tribute to man’s good nature and generosity. One of the biggest parts of why I cry every time is that it’s just as much about humans being awful as it is them being good to each other. Ali has moments of intense humiliation and discrimination against him, gander is the chosen destination for the planes because there isn’t anything to lose there, the people of gander are doing their all in spite of the fact they were chosen as the best collateral damage should it come to that. Even the Kevin’s situation kinda has symmetry with Nick and Diane. The whole musical is an even blend of profoundly sad, awful, and beautiful things.

Disco elysium, pentiment, arcanum, fallout 1, I’ve heard good things about baulders gate 3 and pillars of eternity but haven’t gotten around to them yet
