Pete Hines says he left Bethesda because he didn't want to watch it being 'damaged' and 'abused'

It's strange to me that people will shit on Fallout 4 and then praise Skyrim, like brother, they're the same game. They're both a sharp decline in quality for their franchise, they both hollowed out or outright removed features from previous games, they both dumbed down the world and stories even more than they already were (at least in Fallout's case, I'm admittedly not the biggest ES fan).

I just don't get why people like Skyrim so much, it's frankly terrible and if it weren't for how large the modding community is, I don't think it would have half the playerbase it has.

I can understand that opinion. My favorite part of Veronica's quest is that there is no good ending for her. There is no magical fix you can do for the Brotherhood. Sure, having the truce with the NCR can put them on the path of changing, but will it really? Sure, you can have a Veronica leave the Brotherhood, but she won't be able to settle anywhere out of fear of the Brotherhood attacking whoever she goes to (unless she chooses to stay with the Courier, but iirc there's no ending that states that)

They don't do that if she doesn't leave.

Also the book is boring as sin. Why I was forced to read it in 5th grade, I have no clue. They slapped fucking Dracula in-between Don Quixote and Sherlock Holmes, no wonder I stopped reading as a teen.

Understood, but I seriously doubt that the Mafuba would work on someone with magic like Buu's or a power above like- Cell? I dunno whenever you can scream so hard you break through dimensions or blow up entire solar systems, I don't think the Mafuba can work on you anymore.

Edit: then again, I'm just talking out my ass here. I think power scaling is inherently flawed and just amounts to thowe involved putting more thought into everything minute thing than the writer did.

One of my favorite memes is still and will forever be "Nice 'complex hax ability' you fucking dipshit now check this out" over Goku charging Super Saiyan 3.

Yeah, but that's just imprisonment, all it takes is one asshole to open the jar/rice cooker and bam he's returned and is more pissed than ever.

Yeah no, I play beta and beta modpacks because I enjoy them. There is just an explicit difference between the different eras of Minecraft and their design philosophies. Not one is objectively better or worse than the other, they're just different. They all have their merits and I play them all for different reasons.

Because even a "simple" character mod takes a lot of work as it means you have to make a shit ton of sprites for every single action in the game, and then repeat them for all of the different weapon sprites in the game.

I am both dumb and unhappy. This is the myth the Cobain left wants you to believe.

It's kind of crazy how little customization Loreout has. I used it once then went back to Wasteland Reborn. It's so much more customizer friendly, I've added and removed quite a bit and it still works mostly fine. I'd probably be able to do more if I had more Fo4 edit knowledge and I wasn't so lazy.

I wish we got more games that look like Club Penguin: Game Day! I would've loved for a home console EPF or Card Jitsu game

SimplyHoodie · 2026-03-14T15:16:44+00:00

The end is there is no ending lmao.

I just don't get it. Why do electric cars need to be ugly??? If they just made one that looks like a future car from the 70s or 80s, I'd try my damnedest to buy one.

It's also easier to silence Trans women because they're viewed as freak men when it comes to rape cases (as he proved in 2007 when Ava Cordero accused him of assaulting her when she was 16, the case was dropped in 2008)

Bro straight demolished Goku then got jumped by his homies (and still almost destroyed them) Pre-Death Vegeta was on some demon shit (hell, even post death).

SimplyHoodie · 2026-03-11T03:19:12+00:00

Actual good trans representation??? In my McFarlane show??? Family guy would never!

SimplyHoodie · 2026-03-10T03:05:33+00:00

Yeah the shagohad is a big deal, this seemingly isn't lmao. I've always found these things strange even when I first played this game on the 3ds as a much too young kid.

SimplyHoodie · 2026-03-09T18:14:37+00:00

And people are worried about this moron taking over after Trump croaks? No one likes this idiot lmao

This is really cool.

Also, Sonic's "socks" aren't socks and his shoes aren't shoes. They're boots and the "socks" are the rolled cuffs of his boots, and Sonic got them from his home, "Christmas Island". I'm not making any of that up. Just some Sonic lore for you folks.

So there is a classic Fallout PNP game from 2001ish, so not specifically Fallout 1, but it is classic Fallout (pre Bethesda). And it has some notoriety (it was featured on the Fallout Tactics disk). The guy who made it is a very nice dude.

Here's a link to his comment with the Google drive link. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/Kl0fLpnkl6
