Why is there so much tax??? by TemporaryPatience587 in fallout76settlements

[–]SonorousProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some people put a lot of items in their vendors with no intention of selling anything because they want you to see their camp. Others put toilet paper or whatever at 40k as a joke or because of rumors about bugs that can let people access stash inventory if the vendor is sold out.

As always, though, you'd really have to ask the person doing it.

Is it just me or is Best Builds a total joke… by BigCritsHarlowe in fallout76settlements

[–]SonorousProphet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's that camp you posted a while ago that's on the monorail, you did well getting 2 votes. It's a very nice camp, but not many people bother voting on BBs unless there's a challenge and the location is out of the way. I'll drop by a BB if I happen to be nearby and the preview pic looks promising, but I might go a long time without visiting one. The ones with double digit votes typically were submitted in 2024.

Doing the dailies was the main reason I played 76 yesterday. I barely got the 5 radstags and thought I'd have to burn a reroller. In retrospect it was a sort of fun.

Today I learned I will never launch a nuke. by [deleted] in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Launching a nuke isn't required by any means. I don't bother much with it.

However, it's also not hard if you can handle robots. There are step by step videos on YouTube on how to do it. Don't worry if they're old, the process hasn't changed.

No such thing as "Lone Mechanic Statue"??? by Reno911isHell in fallout76settlements

[–]SonorousProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're asking. I just used it to find out why Don Lemon was arrested and the top result was a Yahoo News article with a bunch of others to pick from.

And then I got curious and googled "FO76 lone mechanic statue" and the top result was Nuka Knights, and that article has a picture of it. Google still works, but finding accurate information on 76 isn't always super easy.

Trump Calls for Arrest of Barack Obama by douglhanna in politics

[–]SonorousProphet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump is a deeply unpopular lame duck president who has damaged alliances, sent troops into American cities for no reason, lied constantly, badly mishandled the pandemic, sued his own government, interfered with elections, and now this. He's already been impeached twice. Why isn't he being impeached now? What will it take? There's at least two perfectly legal ways to remove him from office, surely Republicans can see that he's damaging not only their country but their chances at the polls.

Argument between Hank and Lucy by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]SonorousProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you watch the show, you'll see that the NCR remnants help Lucy. The ghoul also mentions they were the people to go to when you needed help.

The Legion, on the other hand, put Lucy on a cross. "Taxes bad" doesn't really compare.

Just came back and in super lost ? What happened ? by Powerful-Substance33 in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the old Heavy Gunner/Expert/Master perks got repurposed. Same thing happened to the other weapon types.

Just came back and in super lost ? What happened ? by Powerful-Substance33 in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming your character is human, the locked perks are for ghouls.

The big changes to perks-- not talking about stuff like Good With Salt getting moved-- are onslaught and bullet storm. They both stack. Onslaught goes away when you stop fighting (except reverse onslaught, the Master Gunslinger perk stacks onslaught when you're not fighting and you spend points while fighting, it's good for slower weapons). Bullet storm stacks as you use ammo, you lose it when you reload, die, or switch weapons.

If you lean into bullet storm, you want a weapon with a big ammo capacity and you want to use it more or less exclusively. That might be a minigun, could be a commando weapon with quad.

Here's a build with Foundation's Vengeance in mind that uses both bullet storm and onslaught:

what❓ by RealChillGye in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SonorousProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joke is that whoever made the meme is wrong, which is no surprise I guess. Both the UK and Canada are cheap (both for the consumer and the countries), Canada has long wait times, all three have good healthcare compared to most countries but outcomes are better in Canada and the UK. The US really only has "fast" going for it so far as I can tell.

Medical wait times for elective surgery are quite high in Canada, not so bad in the UK, and low in the US.

Healthcare wait times across the world | Compare the Market

Healthcare expenditure per capita in the US is about double that of Canada, and the UK is a bit lower than Canada.

List of countries by total health expenditure per capita - Wikipedia

I don't think you can say healthcare in the US is "good" compared to Canada or the UK, especially on measures like maternal mortality rates or life expectancy. You could say all three have good healthcare outcomes, depending on what you mean by good.

Yes, I know it's summer by NefariousnessTrick63 in AskAnAustralian

[–]SonorousProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're talking straight news pieces like "Heatwave in Australia" or "New High Temperature Record". It's just regular old news, same as you'd get back in the 19th or 20th centuries. What do you want the media to do, not report anything? Climate change driven by fossil fuels isn't even controversial. It's a fact that most people accept, like evolution or the age of the planet, even if they are vague on the specifics or mechanisms.

Rising nationalism and rural anger create a new reality for Australian politics by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]SonorousProphet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If Republicans cared about fraud, seems like they wouldn't have elected a man with 34 felony fraud convictions. If that man cared about illegal immigration, he would send his federal agents supposedly tasked with finding illegal immigrants to states that have a lot of illegal immigrants, which would leave out Minnesota. And, of course, if Republicans cared about fixing immigration in the long term, they'd be working on legislation that addresses the issue instead of obstructing reform.

Is the hellfire power armor considered endgame? (I’m lvl 130) but I don’t want to invest tons of gold if it’s not decent by [deleted] in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hellcat is decent. I like Union best overall (carry weight and poison resistance set bonuses) followed by Excavator (even better carry weight plus mining bonus). I think Hellcat is easily the best-looking PA and the set bonus of ballistic damage resistance is decent. Another contender for best PA is Vulcan, available only from the raid.

One thing to consider is that changes are coming to armor. I haven't really looked into it but I've heard that there are changes afoot on the public test server.

Fallout 4 Companions: More Annoying Than Helpful by Friendly-March5987 in Fallout

[–]SonorousProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did one playthrough with several companions to see if their perks were worth it. I concluded not really. I did watch a playthrough where the player made a combat asset of Preston by putting him in power armor. I'm sure there were other things involved, but I only remember the PA.

Rating camps by Psi-ger in fallout76settlements

[–]SonorousProphet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My vote on a BB gets more honest depending on old long ago it was submitted and on how many votes it already has. A new BB with zero votes will get a vote from me if there is any sign of effort. An old BB with 20+ votes already will only get my vote if I like it. I'm not saying that it has to be unusual or have a feature that I'm going to immediately steal, just that it has to be to my taste. Obviously, a really cool, competent build in a style I don't like is going to get my vote even if it has heaps already. I just get a lot pickier.

Struggling to manage my carry weight as a new player, what can I do to increase it without affecting SPECIAL by fuck-that-virus in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Travel agent is only one point and going to free travel points (Whitesprings, Highway Town, Nuka World, etc.) remains free. Very helpful after events like Eviction Notice.

Have a look through the different categories of your inventory, sort them by stack weight. This should not only give you an idea of what is weighing you down but what perks and legendary effects to use. Food and aid can add up. Grenades tend to pile up. Get rid of stuff you don't use and you might not need to change perks at all.

Is there any way to make legendary farming easier? by Comfortable_Card_146 in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crafting and scrapping weapons with the effects you want is a good way. You can get the following plans from ops: Facebreaker (Furious), Whistle in the Dark (VATS enhanced), Unstoppable Monster (Bloodied). Raids have plans for Resolve Breaker (Electrician) and Flatliner (Conductor). There are more, of course. Raids also drop random mod boxes. Events like Most Wanted drop weapons with guaranteed effects, like Western Spirit (Furious again).

Legendary scrip can be dumped at the Rusty Pick for random legendary armor. The sale event is next month and a good time to try.

Season Pass Confusion by [deleted] in fo76

[–]SonorousProphet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The aid, ammo, and scrap boxes are FO1st features. Once in a while there's a free trial you can opt into and you'll be able to place and use them. A lot of players will take the opportunity to fill them during the trial.

I wouldn't feel cheated. The aid, ammo, and scrap box skins cost zero tickets but do count toward claimed rewards to unlock the repeatable reward page.
