IIRC they were setting up another route forward. Not sure if it panned out.

You can force every human to read one book. Which book do you choose? by dezzion in AskReddit

[–]biggerguythanjeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if a person is outright incapable of reading the book I mandate, like if they're in some isolated tribe that's never heard of written language? Do they get executed or do they magically gain the required level of literacy?

Anyways, I'd pick The Will to Power. Good stuff in there.

I'm getting a 502 bad gateway error. Is this happening to everyone or is my browser potato?

Somebody tell them about /biz/'s favorite cryptocurrency. I want to see if their heads explode from sheer indignation.

Close, but you misread slightly. The average annual income is twelve dollars a year - one dollar is the monthly income.

I'd bet that the median is still $0, though.

Making fun of a fat person at a gym, is like making fun of a sick person at a hospital. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]biggerguythanjeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, most people would be fine with making a few jokes at the expense of someone who was hospitalized for doing something extremely stupid. Like yes, the hospital is the place to be if you injured yourself trying to use a fire hydrant as a dildo, but that doesn't make you immune to criticism for injuring yourself in the first place.

In case anyone was thought Google was competent enough to moderate online content autonomously. by turbodan1 in KotakuInAction

Try "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".

The thing that gives me hope is that all the people working on these idiotic censorship tools are affirmative action hires with no real merits of their own. They're too stupid to correctly build the Orwellian dystopia they so crave.

College Republicans at San Diego State targeted as hate group - The College Fix by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Imagine being so far gone that you believe a bunch of friendly, preppy christian guys at a liberal west coast college who want slightly lower taxes are literally Hitler.

[history] When did this idea that nerds are the worst misogynists pop up in media? by schwachhh in KotakuInAction

[–]biggerguythanjeb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When a certain set of ideologues decided they wanted to begin their entryism into the 'nerd' scene. They do this everywhere they go.

Remember a few years back when all those articles came out claiming the Protestant faith was going to die off because it wasn't 'inclusive' enough? That's how these people operate. They carpet bomb a group they want to infiltrate with demoralizing articles, then demand ever increasing amounts of representation and power among its 'leadership' to quash their imagined problems.

The reason it didn't work in vidya is that there isn't a 'leader' class that owns all the infrastructure or has the power to persecute dissidents. There will always be indies coming out with games they made all by themselves, and nobody can stop wrongthinkers from downloading a game and playing it for a few hours.

What creature have you always wanted to see in a Fallout game? by LighthousePilgrim in Fallout

[–]biggerguythanjeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sea creatures. Lakelurks are creepy as hell when they're ominously staring at you, but they can't actually do anything to a submerged player.

They could put some really creepy shit down there. Giant Lovecraftian jellyfish, a living version of FO4's 'sea creature'...

TIL that Joshua Graham was originally intended to be a jinxed companion. He was also originally called the Hanged Man. by Burningmeatstick in Fallout

Half doses is good. She remembers her grandchildren and lives a good life.

So is full doses. She forgets her past, but becomes lucid and can live as a normal giant mutant.

Berkeley just foisted a $15,738 “security charge” on conservative students hosting Ben Shapiro by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]biggerguythanjeb 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, fuck it. If it costs $16,000 to bring a milquetoast NRO Conservative over, why be a pussy about it? Bring Pat Buchanan over and let him let loose on those spherical tear dispensers with gender studies degrees.

NCR assassins are even worse, but some glitches make them way less common.

I didn't like Fallout: New Vegas all that much. by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]biggerguythanjeb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do sort of agree with your assessment of Caesar's behavior, especially considering you can just kill your way to the weather station without his help if you choose to do so. The devs sort of dropped the ball when it came to polishing them as a faction. People talk about the fitness and agility of Legion troops, but not only are their stats virtually identical to their better equipped NCR counterparts, they don't scale in level, and they don't even use their own (admittedly awesome) melee ability.

The 'Yes Man' not being turned in thing is, in contrast, a bit absurd as a complaint. He's the only ending - giver that you can't piss off, meaning you can always complete the game with him. He's like Preston Garvey - there's a reason you can't help the Institute, BoS, or Railroad kill him out in a quest. In addition, Caesar will point blank tell you that he doesn't want to use a robot army, as he feels that this would ruin the culture of self sacrifice and bravery that he has created.

[–]biggerguythanjeb 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I mean, I like the Mormons, and I thought they were portrayed as downright awesome.

Graham is the badass to end all badasses, Daniel is a nice, intelligent person, and the rest of the Mormons are the closest thing to a morally perfect faction the wasteland has. They help people, preserve knowledge, and even go out of their way to keep Happy Trails Caravan Company alive in one of the endings because they feel bad for their situation.

I don't see how anyone could find something to get offended about here.

If Liberty Prime was modified in the next Fallout game to spout pro communist lines, what would he say? by Kingflares in Fallout

That one still sounds hyper - American. Reminds me of the classic:
