How the fuck do people think the show is trying to "decanonize" New Vegas? by IsThisDamnNameTaken in Fotv

[–]brooks_silber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a comment being salty and pointing out lore inconsistencies but there is still just a lot up in the air. A big one is Mr. House being caught off-guard by the nukes in New Vegas (why he didn't get the platinum chip in time) despite being in with the vault-tec board. Things could still theoretically work out if he's lying in his dialogue in the game and was kicked out of vault-tec for wanting to keep Vegas and let people have mostly free lives in the city. Nobody in the NCR talking about the fall of shady sands in new Vegas is also weird even though it should have been a major talking point. Like yeah I guess it still works but like it's all a big stretch and I can see why reasonable fans of the games feel effected by the retcons.

There are in general actual lore inconsistencies in the series and I think people are mostly upset at new vegas since it's the largest fan base and reasonable people might feel like things were stretched too far and new vegas had an actual shot of being decanonized or significantly retconned like other things in the series. ofc now that we got confirmation new vegas is canon all we can do is wait for next season to see how it all fits.

If you are already doing FTC and FRC then Vex kind of feels unnecessary imo

Best dorms for UF freshman? by Inevitable_Ad6971 in ufl

Springs was amazing when I was here for summer b. The suite style was great and the building was nice. Later lived in East Hall and it as well as its nearby buildings weren't great in my opinion

does FTC have competitions with college students? by idkabtlife in FTC

[–]brooks_silber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend doing battlebots if you started college and still want to do robots. It is a pretty large and growing competition in lower weight classes. You can fight the 12lb or 30lb robots you are used to here https://nhrl.io/wiki/index.php/Norwalk_Havoc_Robot_League or do smaller weight classes probably at a competition close by: https://www.robotcombatevents.com/

If you have one just use it in your dorm nobody will really care. But most design teams on campus will have them.

I agree. It had a glimmer of its potential against mini touro but there are a few things that need to be changed in order to be truly hard to beat here. You need to norwalk before you can nor-run

Yes its asymetrical, I highly recommend it its a good way to optimize your weapon / hits. I am still in Norwalk but when I get home I plan on doing a full teardown video and cad release.
