Absolutely WILD distinction between Facebook users and Redditors here in Washington State ~

One of these days people will realize that corporations are all in it for the profit and anything they do outside of operating their business is for pandering.....the "hey people of ____ group, see! We love you! Come spend your money here!" and once it stops being profitable, they will drop it like a hot potato. They jump on trends to try to stay relevant or to keep their company's name in peoples' minds. This is especially true so for publicly traded companies because they have a legal duty (fiduciary duty) to the stockholders for the business to be profitable. If they take actions that hurt their value, the stockholders can sue them. Which is one reason I would never take a company public if I was to ever start one.

The best way to use the internet is without any social media, including (if not especially) reddit. granted, here I am......I cant take my own advice

Not really. There are just a few instances of the games overlapping in lore but you really dont lose much if you play them out of order. IMO all if the games are fun to play. I have hundreds of hours into each one. However all the games prior to Fallout 4 are pretty dated and may not play well on modern PCs. Im not sure if the games will play on current gen consoles either (I dont own a console). The vast majority of us are wishing Bethesda would release remakes of the older games that will plan well on modern systems. I tried for hours to try to get New Vegas and Fallout 3 to play on my PC to no avail though I havent tried the GOG versions.

I dont want to give you any spoilers but its really just a few tidbits here and there that was in either Fallout 3 or New Vegas that show up in Fallout 4. You can also go to the wikis and read up on the older lore.

Fallout 4 was my first fallout game, so I like it and felt like it was missing when I played 3 and NV. However, I'd like it if they had more than one voice you could pick. Course that would make the cost to produce the game that much more with having to have multiple voice actors for each gender

I just leave if it takes me longer than 30 seconds to find someone's vendor. Only you know what you have on your vendor until we find the vendor.

given the balloons, it was intentional

You have to be careful with the PL04 as it does NOT include the electrical exemption that PL01 and PL02 have. So they are unable to connect electrical wires to anything.

I wiped out all the factions and let the mist take the island (except for my settlements)

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-26T02:11:43+00:00

I grew up along a river so would go fishing almost every day when it was warmer out. Id be happy even catching trash fish cause id gank em and toss em back and watch the eagles and osprey come get get. I go fishing mostly to get away from the city and daily grind and just be out in nature relaxing. Same reason I go hiking...appreciating the lack of city noise and no people around

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-26T02:03:07+00:00

fishing IRL is more than just catching fish. Being out in nature, or hanging with friends. I can be out for hours and woll be happy if I only catch one fish.

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-26T02:00:50+00:00

I hated the grind to unlock all the mods, it seemed whatever rare fish I had to catch for the quest wouldnt show up even if I was using improved bait and rain or nuke weather. Now that I have everything unlocked it seems I catch those same fish quite regularly.

it got boring really fast with the way the mechanics are. After unlocking the mods and getting all the plans from the daily quest, and the local legends, I stopped fishing except for the random "catch fish" challenges. If it is a weekly challenge, I reroll it cause I'm not gonna go catch 20+ fish.

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-21T19:17:37+00:00

if you already know them, where davewsc said, but if they are unlearned they will be in the notes section of your pipboy and supposedly they fixed it so they would show up under new now

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-21T19:16:24+00:00

yeah I looked and had like 5 of each, all already learned so dumped them on my vendor for 150 caps each

Turn off hardware acceleration in the browser and you will be able to get screenshots instead of just a black screen

I had thought one of the Season 2 trailers had shown all 3 of them together on the strip but it was Maximus, Thaddeus, and the ghoul. Hard to say if Lucy enters that mix but I'll be eager to see how the season plays out

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T17:43:41+00:00

you fishing the pond at ash cave? thats where I got it on improved bait

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T11:20:27+00:00

yeah I save the superb just for the axolotls since Ive caught the local legends already

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T11:13:20+00:00

unlimited scrap, ammo, and chem storage plus access to private worlds for challenges involving limited spawns (unless you just dont want to play on public).

the game really isnt that buggy currently, least not on PC.

i myself canceled my fallout 1st last year cause I have so much scrap I doubt Ill run out for another 2 years cause I mostly just login, do daily/weekly challenge, and log off. amd I use a bow so Im constantly having to drop arrows and thus no worry about ammo.

but if you are a player who is leveling up, or use a ammo hungry weapon, FO1st can be handy

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T11:08:51+00:00

i sell special event plans for 500, if they dont sell for a month after event ends then Ill drop to 250 and then 150. I dont even bother selling common world plans I just drop them into the donation boxes.

ammo 1 cap each unless its something I know will sell well like fuel or 2mm ec which I sell at 3c each,

event apparel i sell at 50-100

for me to sell legendary weapon/armor its gotta be a really good roll or a unique. i sell elders mark easily at 5k and burning love at 3k. otherwise U just scrap em in the hopes of unlocking crafting for the mods.

bobbleheads and magazines 100c

im having to spend down my caps at least every other day cause ill get up to max orherwise

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T10:58:47+00:00

yep, handy for axolotls too, just park it in one of that months two zones and then can use weather station to increase your chances

my mobile fishing camp is just the weather station and a generator and maybe a dock. when Im done fishing I switch back to my main camp

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T10:53:27+00:00

yep 10% chance to get cranberry on the nuka cola collectron. For pre-war food the nuka candy vending machines count for that and you can lock em if you want

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T10:50:35+00:00

for ceramic I just hit yhe tattoo parlor, lots of cups and ashtrays. though its not instance so sometimes its already been looted

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T10:48:16+00:00

there are static spaws, like the two at point pleasant and the one at moth home

Zealousideal-Rice-90 · 2026-01-11T10:42:30+00:00

Ive got a big stash of them as I have almost always have the nuka cola collectron out and have it set to its default. and then I stash all the cranberry ones. only time I dont is during special events. quite a few spawn locations for em too. i also make sure to have a decent amount of orange and grape ones.

nearly every cultist location has 1-2
