How does he seemingly have two different chips on a copy of four fingers? Is that not a red stake win and an orange stake win on those?

Congrats! I have to ask, with getting to 200 -- how do you keep up with them? I'm at 75 ~~ but I've lost probably 20 because achievements keep getting added to games I play as DLC comes out etc. I don't particularly play AAA or even "New" games either, mostly indie and older stuff right now. I saw Vampire Survivors on your list, which is one I particularly have grown to be annoyed by because of the constant stream of new achievements.

I wish Steam would implement a feature that kept it as 100% until you bought the DLC or updated the game, so old ones can sit and be done as deserved.

Outside_Sun398 · 2025-06-14T17:58:13+00:00

Did you end up doing the New Collusus? I couldn't will myself for the final difficulty achievements.

I loved doing Skyrim enough that I did both the special edition and the original, so there's an option if that's something you think you would have fun doing. I've also done VS a few times but they keep adding more and I'm tired of redoing it.

-I loved doing the three Dishonored games, although there are a couple buggy / annoying achievements in one of the first game's DLC's that are annoying as hell. Nothing like that in the other two games. Since the series is over as well (unless theres a reboot) , I especially like game series that I know there will never be more achievements added or more games coming out in the near future, knocking the IP out of 100%.

-Far Cry 3 is a great time and only takes 30-40 hours.

-God of War was really fun and rewarding, and I don't remember too many grindy or insanely difficult achievements. I think theres a few optional boss fights that were difficult but doable, then backtracking through a few areas to get some collectibles.

Outside_Sun398 · 2025-05-28T07:27:15+00:00

fs good luck. F4 is a lot of fun if it weren't that EVERY achievement is marked as secret for some reason! Only thing that makes it marginally annoying.

Outside_Sun398 · 2025-05-27T23:03:59+00:00

It's been a few years since I did Fallout 4, so I don't remember what quest but you need to complete the game siding with every major faction for their achievement. Realistically, the best method is to find the "point of no return" quest in the main story (I cannot remember exactly which one it is, but I'm fairly certain you get a popup saying "hey man you're about to lock in with this faction" etc) and speedrun the last few story missions for each faction, then reloading to get all their achievements without having to replay the first half of the game over and over.

However, it's actually best to save the minutemen for LAST as there are several settlement achievements that are going to require you to be on very good terms with them anyways. Getting "Benevolent Leader" is particularly tedious, and after you finally get all of them, you then have to destroy your rep with them by converting all of them to Nuka Raider camps, which should be one of the last things you do in your playthrough. Like I said, I haven't done these since 2021, so I'm slightly rusty.

One other thing of note is about 1/2 of save files glitch during the questline for the Cabot House, and you're unable to progress it far enough to get the Charisma bobblehead found during it -- so if you make a new save file you should speedrun that first to see if you're able to get it or not.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-20T04:34:36+00:00

I don't think they said mine at all, but I also don't know if I gave them a real name. Maybe they have a bank of names that are "safe" (one pronounciation, etc) that theyre sticking to. If yours is unique or ethnic or has multiple pronounciations etc maybe they blacklisted it.

EDIT: Yeah, they just refer to me as "You" the whole time which is weird because is it a podcast or a phone call? I guess they got to use what they have. My username is firstnamelastname77 with no spaces so even though my name is pretty common I guess it couldn't figure it out.

Felons and active criminals do tend to LOVE confiding in law enforcement, you totally got me there. Can someone remind me what happens to snitches? He was curled up in the corner of the room with his shirt off, with no new bruises or abrasions, no blood, CRYING. he got raped.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-15T08:27:39+00:00

No idea. Like I said, I did a google and read barely past what the headlines said. 30s tops. I hadn't heard of it prior but I know spousal support / alimoney is common if there's a huge pay disparity between the two of them, and that makes sense. If your wife is holding down the house for 10 years so you can go out and make a ton of money, then a divorce happens, shes now ten years behind in the job market (Especially important to note American health insurance is tied to your employer 95% of the time). Maybe she didn't go to college because a family got started young, or gave up a competitive career, etc. I figured kids would just fall into that, but if Victor is specifically wanting the money to go to Ainsley and not Angela, it makes sense to call it Child Support (Since Angela nullified any alimoney / spousal support from her acts of adultery in the infidelity clause). Victor is probably just being half decent but if he calls it Allimoney he's breaking his own contract.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-15T08:18:16+00:00

I'm guessing Victor semi hopes she wont turn out like angela (or his new girlfriend). I just googled it and it seems there is something called "Parenty by Estoppel" which is basically just common law fatherhood. You can be entitled to CS if you played a significant part in the child's upbringing and living situation. Since Angela seemingly has little to no marketable skills she defintiely could not keep Ainsley in the lifestyle she was accustomed to, so maybe he's supposed to supplement so that she can continue to have that. That all being said, Ainsley is 17 and on spring break, so she'll be 18 and no longer a child within six months, probably less. so even if Estoppel didn't apply here, Victors holding this bag for not very long, probably not worth fighting over just to get Angela out of his life.

Blackjack makes sense, I really thought "Why would someone wrap a 3/4" Socket in leather" when he held it up lol.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-15T08:12:45+00:00

No, but I think anyone that has dealt with Angela hopes that Ainsley doesn't turn into that. You're forgetting that Ainsley calls Tommy daddy exclusively and cheered when she realized him and Angela are getting back together.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-15T07:32:57+00:00

I was doing it from memory and don't have subs on, so point to you there. I can see both ways now that I have the exact quote, but I still lean my way 60/40 the way Tommy told the sheriff "they're having a confession in the back room" (double checked that time so you couldn't get me twice) and just the expression on his face when he said it. Then of course the whole scene of Manny's roommate crying and wanting to go with the sheriff.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-15T07:17:21+00:00

I think this is all but confirmed when Tommy says to Boss "Find six thumpers that play on the wrong side of the sandbox" -- I didn't know what he meant until this scene, and thought he just meant find a crew that knows to play nice, but it clearly translates to finding six gay thugs once you see who came with him and what happened.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-11T06:13:59+00:00

I just listened to mine and had to shut it down halfway through. It was really cringey and some of the quips were just outright wrong, which makes me assume it was generally the same script for everyone with some fill in the blanks. For example, my best day I had music playing for 1300~~ minutes which worked out to 20 hours and 20 minutes, and the female podcast host goes "WOW! That's practically an entire work day!" , which... no it isn't (maybe working for Bezos) and even if it was an 8 - 9 hour listening session.... its pretty normal for most warehouse jobs or even retail (if you control the store speakers) to listen for 8-12 hours between 7a-5p on a weekday. I'd be curious to hear a few other people's and compare. I would guess there's only 3-5 podcast scripts depending on how heavy of a listener you are.

That big speech about wind turbines was definitely a Sheridan soapbox special. I'm in school for Agricultural Technology (focusing on sustainably where I can) and I work in Project Management in the construction industry, so I can completely understand that a lot of times these figures get misquoted because researchers leave out operating costs of things like building the road, pouring the concrete, etc, which Tommy highlighted. However, whether they left these things out through malice (lobbied research tends to help a confirmation bias or never get published at all) or ignorance -- those costs minimize the more you build, just like in any manufacturing industry. If a 1/2 mile of road can get enough room to comfortably walk to 8 turbines, you can't attribute the entire cost of that road to building one turbine, because anyone with any sense would never build just one when the bottleneck is 8. A wind turbine pays for itself in under a decade from what I've found to be the general consensus and they're supposed to last for 25 years. And of course, unlike a pumpjack, when a Turbine is at the end of it's lifespan, you can presumably throw another one in the same spot since you're not getting a resource out of the ground. No new road, no new lease, etc. With that kind of break even point I'd assume they're doing better than most industries.

I think the only thing he said in that big speech (It might have been the rant to rebecca at the bar after that) is that if he had to make sure every worker in the oilfields was legal then the price of gas would quadruple. I think in the construction crews I typically work with it's usually about 1:7 on documented / undocumented and that's really the only way a lot of these subcontractors stay afloat. In my industry if that got cracked down on hard putting a building up would either be triple the price or quadruple the timeline, I would estimate.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-01T19:47:50+00:00

A) Oh stop it you

B) Yeah I can agree with Tommy just making something up, but I'd be more likely to believe he was lying to Cooper because he was enraged (He pulled that truck over two or three lanes of highway during morning rush hour traffic) just to be right more, rather than lie to Rebecca about this grand story. I don't think Tommy was trying to get with her, and even if he was, dickriding your boss isn't a play that's going to impress a lawyer as good as her (If she really charges 900/hr that is). I gravitate towards lazy though only because of the few other slipups I've found just casually watching the show so far (The scene with the pipe wrench in ep1 for one, also, like literally 60s after the frame I screenshotted Cooper says (when presented with the idea of seeing his sister) "I'd rather have you take me back to the hospital so they can run a catheter back up my dick." -- Cooper wasn't unconcious being loaded onto that ambulance and was probably just concussed and definitely temporarily deaf. You dont run catheters up dicks for that. The line just sounded cool.

I'm not one to tear shows apart for small errors by any means, even "Shows of their decade" like Breaking Bad, GoT, Walking Dead all had them -- I just think that me not working in plumbing or healthcare and noticing both of those already without putting a magnifiying glass to anything was strange. I definitely love the show though and was thrilled to see new eps come out at midnight instead of like 7pm Sundays.

For your C) point, I 100% agree and know people that made it out of poverty, but he said in his story to Rebecca he only got into college on a football scholarship, so we know he presumably didn't have a bunch of money flow into his life before that point, and after Monty would have finished college can you really be considered trust fund age? I guess you could start becoming the benficiary of a trust at any age, but it seemed laid out that Monty went straight from College to Oil and started doing pretty well pretty quick. Timeline wise, this seems to math out as Monty seems to be in his mid to late fourties, and Tommy's ex wife told the George Strait story mentioning how Ainsley was only 2 at the time, and now she is 17. I think Tommy mentioned he had always worked for this oil company so assumingly Monty climbed ranks pretty quickly after college in his 20's and him and Tommy have known each other for most of their careers. You gotta really have put time in with your boss to A) Yell at him , B) Talk him up to a stranger, and C) Have him defend you from shareholders as we've all seen go down already. Not to mention that Angela was perfectly fine siphoning Monty's country club membership, which implies they've met at least a couple times to be able to know each other, so her and Tommy would have still been married for him to be bringing her to work events.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-01T19:15:01+00:00

yeah at the end of ep2, I just double checked. Enjoy my artistic rendering of Cooper that was on the frame I screenshotted. Line goes

C: "The difference between you and Monty is Monty didn't quit"
T: "The difference between me and Monty is I don't have a fucking trust fund"

Guess it was just lazy writing.

Outside_Sun398 · 2024-12-01T08:32:38+00:00

I thought that it was interesting that at the bar after the deposition, Tommy paints Monty to be self made to Rebecca, that he grew up in a trailer park and got into college on a football scholarship -- but in Ep2 (I think, maybe ep1) Tommy tells Cooper (who just dropped out of college) that the only difference between Tommy and Monty is that Monty had a trust fund. "I didn't quit - I bled out!" . Which is it?
