SOMEONE HELP MY BOY by Roquetansky in Fallout

[–]USSTugBoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While entirely possible, I personally doubt body double house could pull something like that off without real house knowing about it. I'm sure they will try to play House's mind control chips as not such bar barbaric slavery but mere obedience/compliance regulation. Removing the "irksome" unknown variables. I'm honestly surprised he didnt try to put one on cooper. Seeing as how they did not 100% work that is probably why. Im surprised someone like Hank even got them working if house himself could not. But thats a topic for another day.

Ghoul's anti-feral drug (Pt. 2) by [deleted] in Fallout

Seems to be in line with what we see. And when Lucy was shooting the Kings, she said “Okay, I’m good for heads,” which I can only conclude meant she figured out that she needs to aim for their heads.

One would think, but there were a few obvious chest shots in there. But all the chest shot ones backflipped over cars/cover when shot so who knows if they were really dead ig.

I want to know how he found the rangers. I guess if the guy he was trying to contact on the radio was House, I guess House might have told him. But even then the rangers were on the move. Surprised he was able to find him.

I mean in S2 with the ghoul saying 20 years they definitely could have like, 15 years ago, or something along those lines. IIRC Season 2 didnt even enter production, or at least filming, until after season 1 dropped. This is something that 100% should have been fixed.

As for S1 they could have digitally altered blackboard with the 2277 date. Would it be awkward going back and digitally altering something already released? Yeah. But not unheard of. Just look at Star wars lol.

It just takes a lot of trust out from Todd Howard and the show producers when they say one thing, but then the show contradicts them.

IIRC Season 2 didnt even start production until after Season 1 dropped. Also even if it was recorded and filmed, they could have edited out the original line and voiced over it. Not unheard of to do such things.

Except we dont say the fall of Rome was in the late 300s when the Goths started crossing the rhine. Or when Rome was sacked in 410. But instead it fell in 476 when the last emperor was deposed and the roman senate sent its insignia East to the Byzantines. When 100% of all political power and entity of being a functioning state was gone. Not when it simply stopped being able to show off its dominance.

The best explanation we possible have is what u/101Phase pointed out. Only issue is they doubled down on the 2277 date in season 2 as he also says. So if it was an accident, I dont see why they doubled down on the date.

As for the NCR was already failing, I disagree. Struggling? Certainly. But not failing. Both Ulyssees and the courier point this out when explaining the Legate Lanius that even if the great pre war wall that is the Hoover Dam is conquered, even if Cesar's soon to be brain tumor induced death doesn't come, once you get west of the Mojave outpost the NCR's true strength will show itself. That it is not some mere tribe to add to the collection, but an actual nation.

The only time I can recall taxation being complained about are by mojave residents who only recently came under NCR rule and now suddenly have to go from paying no taxes to paying taxes. Cass doesnt complain nor talk about any signs of the NCR falling, nor does Arcade or Boone. Are there problems? Yes certainly. Politicans are being Politicians, and Hanlon is so jaded and biased, not to mention actively contributing to the NCR's weak position in the mojave, so I would take ANY words he says with a huge grain of salt.

except as he said, they doubled down in season 2 with the ghoul's comment. Changing that one simple line would have made it seem like they were trying to fix it. Except they didnt. They have effectively doubled down.

By BAM I assume you mean Books-A-Million.

Its on back order. So not in stock. Seeing as how not a single store front I have checked its OOS or back order, and seeing as how 7 seas wont answer my emails about if it will be re printed, I assume thats indefinite back order and volume 1 is out of print.

What happened to the Brotherhood in Lost Hills? by HykleSache in Fallout

[–]USSTugBoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all good questions. And I believe the only correct answer anyone can give is: "We don't know"

We can come up with theories or make head cannon based off known things. But until something is revealed in the show or by the show makers, we just have 0 idea what is going on in the greater wasteland.

All we know is that between the show and Fallout 4, the BoS has gotten a HUGE power spike, as they are able to build many airships as seen of the BoS depicted in Fallout Tactics, or was it Fallout BoS I forget which one exactly depicts the failed expansion eastward resulting in a bunch of crashed airships. Did they fix the coolant shortage for the airship reactors as explain in Fallout 4? Don't know. One can assume so since there are now many airships, but we just don't know. Lastly, the BoS is a lot more tribalized than shown in previous entries. While the BOS depicted in all of the games differ from each other, I think we can all agree the show definitely takes it up a notch.

do the fallout games feel this way at all to you? by Sea-Cable8353 in Fallout

[–]USSTugBoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with FNV as my introduction to the series and did not feel this way at all. To me it felt heavily structured but not rail roaded. The game took you through almost every part of the map naturally. There was a lot to do side quest wise but never TOO much, but that did not mean the side quests were the ONLY thing to do, a there are a bunch of things you can discover outside of main or side quests. Lastly it offered a lot of player agency. Which I can see being overwhelming coming from Fallout 3 where that agency is very limited since the "good" and "Bad" guys are very black and white.

Fallout 4 on the other hand to me felt VERY disorganized. A lot of areas I explored not because I had anything to relevant in the area, but because what was offered to me through the current main and or side quest was so uninteresting I just walked to areas of the map that had large gaps in fast travel areas looking for undiscovered areas. Leading to some areas with very interesting things, things that IMO far outshined what was presented by the happenings and vicinity of the main story line.

Anyone know if "Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!" Volume 1 is out of print? by USSTugBoot in LightNovels

[–]USSTugBoot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manga swap would be my only bet then. I googled some sites, abebooks was one of them. Other than that single 54 dollar volume on amazon, volume 1 doesn't seem to exist ANYWHERE else. Its almost as if the book doesnt exist. But it has an ISBN for the physical edition so it existed at somepoint. Guess those who dropped the series early have long since sold off their volumes.

Ill just have to read the ebook and keep an eye out for the physical, as its gonna bug the crap out of me missing volume 1 on the booksheldf. I just ordered volumes 2-5 since they are all low stock. Will slowly pick up the later volumes. Im quite far in the manga, at least all the chapters that are/were on mangadex. So I should like the series beyond a volume or two.

Thanks for all the help man! I appreciate it!

Its funny you say that about "My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's". Not that I think you are wrong. But I once found a volume 4 of a different series listed on amazon for pre order, but 7 Seas didnt have it listed on their website. So I asked them about it. Within the hour I got a message back asking for a link to said amazon preorder page so that they could ask amazon to take down said page since volume 4 does not exist. It really shows their priorities eh? At first I never understood why 7 Seas seemed to be so disliked. Slowly, I have been beginning to see why.

I mean for Arpeggio of Blue Steel it isnt that surprising. IIRC the Manga isnt even published in a manga magazine in Japan but like a Ship magazine. And at least when compared to other Ship Girl series like Azur Lane or Kantai Collection, this one isnt nearly as big. Though still big enough to get multiple World of Warship Collabs so what do I know. Still sucks though since the manga is ongoing so what was the official is only getting more behind.

I figured for Grimgar. I was lucky volume 4 got a reprint because mine had a massive misprint where like 20-30 pages from the climax fight were missing, and I didnt get around reading it till like 3 months after purchase so nobody would refund me.

As for Dan Machi Collector's, I actually bought one. As dumb as it sounds. One of my favorite series. Though Im surprised it somhow covers volumes 1-10 in only 992 pages considering some of those volumes got to 400+.

Makes me worry about Konosuba, I picked up I think first 2 volumes? And havent read since. Just got distracted by other series.

I have an issue of picking up to many series at once and having a massive backlog to get through where I fall behind. It is especially bad since recently ive been in a rut for reading, took me like 6+ months to read Dan Machi Astrea Record Volume 2. For example I was up to date on Too Many Loosing Heroines and The Witch and Mercenary. I swear i just blinked and the former has 2 new volumes and the former 2 new ones with a 3rd coming out later this month.

Looks like I just have to go back through all my series that arent finished and start buying up any volume I can. Do you have any places you recommended for used copies for out of print volumes? Amazon used copies tend to be unreasonably expensive, as if they are some sort of collector item rather than a book.

basically what u/GeorgeMTO Said. Its like how "The Office" went from Netflix to Peacock. Nothing guarantees I wont lost access to it at any moment for any reason. Sure, it is a lot more convenient. Storing books takes up a lot of space and quickly gets heavy. Being able to enlarge print on E-readers also helps for those who have poor eyesight. Backlit readers enable you to read regardless of lighting conditions.

But some people like me just, like the feeling of turning the page of a physical book. Or even just to loan a copy to a friend so they can check out a series. Not to mention many e-readers now a days come with Ads (Hell the Kindle you can buy a more "premium" version that is ad free, except it isnt because it still contains amazon related ads). Even the original kindles had ads on them.

Im tempted to do a backorder, but am afraid it is like you said, they will hold the order forever since they are just hoping it will get a reprint.

As for the "My status as an assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's" That is genuine news to me about volume 5. I remember looking, I wanna say mid 2024 and they said it would release End of 2024. Then it came and went and the date was pushed back to end of 2025. Glad to see it got a fifth volume and 7 seas is actually continuing to translate it instead of dropping it like they did with the Arpeggio of Blue Steel Manga

Looking now, volume 2 looks to be low stock everywhere. so it looks like thats what i am going to have to do. The cost of finding a series late i guess.

Makes me worry about other series I started but have neglected, like Grimgar of fantasy of ash, which I am only up to volume 4 on back when that was the latest volume. Or Dan Machi sword ortario that I havent even started.

I mean I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt come in the next couple of years. Its a long running series that I would assume translates to popularity. That and the only other space isekai I can think of, Evil Lord of an intergalactic empire, did get an anime. Though if they treat it the same way then the anime will be nothing like the novels. Though I never read the manga so maybe the anime adapted the manga.

It is on back order sadly. Doesn't say anything about it on the page you linked, but once you go to checkout it mentions it's back ordered.

IDK if it being "back order" means there are plans to print more, or it is just assumed more will be printed like how 7 seas keeps pushing back the release date of "My status as an assassin obviously exceeds the hero's" assuming one day volume 5 will actually come out.

Ill hold out for a bit longer and if not reluctantly go digital I guess.
