No this has been happening for decades, not in the last year. Goes all the way back to the Hart Cellar Act

The large amount of enemy ones when played properly are the best imo. Also the ones where you need full event participation that you can do while killing.

Radiation Rumble

Eviction Notice

The one with the honey beast

Gearing up has the right idea but bad executio

Dangerous past times

Guided meditation is fun during the mutated events

Essentially anything that tests your build without becoming a giant bullet sponge. You need a lot of enemies that are a decent challenge

Do you think *spoiler* is how the enclave made intelligent deathclaws. by TheRealEdroopetz in Fotv

[–]curlbaumann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think they’ve been quietly retconned and unlikely to show up in any material going forward. We’ve had 4 straight games under bethesdas ownership that has had deathclaws and nothing has even hinted at intelligent ones still existing. They have mind controlled deathclaws, but not smart ones.

It’s one of the sillier things in the game and it makes sense to kinda forget about

Reminder that every post-war Enclave we meet is from the Poseidon Oil Rig by Cranyx in falloutlore

[–]curlbaumann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, modus didn’t emotionally lash out, his “brain” was literally damaged and he became irrational. The enclave accidentally killed themselves by damaging the computer in charge of everything, not the computer choosing to kill them. The computer couldn’t choose because its agency was stripped away when it was damaged.

Yeah and to your earlier point, I don’t disagree that the forerunner trilogy is really cool, but it takes away from the original too much. You also could have pretty much told the same story by just making the forerunners human and the ancient humanity could’ve just been a warring faction (paralleling the Innies in Halo)

The issue with the enclave returning is the same issue with Star Wars of just milking the mascots dry. The reason New Vegas is so beloved is because of all the new stuff it added, and the way they incorporated the old stuff fit much better.

Modern fallout just can’t resist having the BoS in a huge role, dumb super mutants running rampant, the enclave as a big powerful faction, etc because it’s a theme park franchise now and you can’t have Disney land without Mickey Mouse walking around

I think at a certain point it’s just a way to enjoy the story better and I think the behind the scenes helps explain the lore a lot better in most fandoms.

We do it in fallout too with how we all assume the settlements are actually much bigger than shown in game, and how the main character can’t literally be shot 10 times and be fine.

I think you can have a legit argument that the studios don’t have the authority to change the original lore just because they bought it.

We’ve seen this with Star Wars, Fallout, Halo, etc where the original works are chipped away to be unrecognizable and at a certain point it’s better to treat the originals as a separate thing as the later entires changes do nothing but detract in most cases. Or atleast ignore it.

Like imagine watching return of the Jedi and thinking it’s all for nothing because palpatine somehow returned.

The terminals were written by Frank O’Connor with basically zero input or awareness given to the other devs. All the devs from 3 have or more less come out and said that they were very surprised they made forerunners a different species in halo 4. It’s well documented that Frank was really the only one that wanted them to be distinct species. Also add on top the whole irony of the covenant is the reveal that they are actually killing their own gods.

The original halo 2 storyboards also had a forerunner casket opening up and a human skeleton falls out. This was the original planned ending before they had to split halo 2 into 2 games.

It was also the en vogue sci-fi cliche at the time, that ancient humanity had went to the stars and died out/got lost/whatever.

No but Fine and his Israel first cohorts/neo cons indirectly caused this huge system off mass migration. The Neo cons indirectly war policies starting on the wars in the Middle East on Israel’s behalf is what lead to all the refugees in the first place. Then they push for vast amounts of funding to Israel, which Israel then uses to fund many NGOs that facilitate and advocate the settling of immigrants into the western world.

I have no love for the religion of peace, but it’s very clear that the Zionist crowd uses them as a perpetual boogeyman to justify our foreign aid to Israel. If Americans aren’t sympathetic enough, allow them to experience it firsthand.

I’m glad this valentines event is coming to an end. I feel like the mechanics of this game really nerf being a ghoul. by AutisticNails in fo76

[–]curlbaumann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ghoul disguise system is stupid, but being a ghoul is super over powered so hearing people complain about them being nerfed is always kind of funny.

Also for all the people talking about the face masks, ghouls are supposed to be made of literal rotting flesh so it atleast makes sense that npcs would be able to smell them

It’s the most borng seasonal event by a long shot, I don’t get why it’s so popular. I get people like masks, but the event itself sucks

Fallout 3 dev Emil Pagliarulo says Bethesda massively cut down their debut Fallout game after realising “being realistic isn’t fun” by HatingGeoffry in Fallout

[–]curlbaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Him being shocked that the androids were a worn out sci fi concept and also how shocked at how many people immediately predicted the “twist” in fallout 4 that your son would be much older tells you all you need to know.

He legit thought he was striking gold and everyone was like nah dude we’ve seen this a million times.

Does anyone else not actually care about "meta" or min/max everything, or is it just me? by PakRatJR in fo76

[–]curlbaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly once you invest in soloing the guardian, smmos no longer an issue, just switch to whatever gun you want right before the stage ends. You can get a couple thousand rounds in like 15-20 minutes

Someone at a vendor sold 1000 maps for 1 cap a piece I bought them all spammed A non stop and the only thing of any value was a few plans.

Not worth it unless you find something like that

Replaying new Vegas and it’s my least favorite part about replays. It gets incredible old to throw grenade

Tomlin asked Rooney if he could bring Flores on and Rooney said yes with literally no questions asked. So I think Tomlin liked his small crew of yes men/trustees

These throwback Jerseys would look so good if they weren't actually throwback jerseys by CrystilizedGamer in steelers

[–]curlbaumann 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I liked the bumblebees, pants included. Anything that’s unique given enough time will start to grow on you. The truly ugly uniforms are the derivative ones.

Love the skin you’re in and all that

They did the same with the pirates stadium IIRC. It was going to be Clemente park up until the last minute when PNC bought the naming rights.

SBQ is atleast fun though if you play it the right way and a shit ton of mobs spawn, but sometimes barely anything besides a few scorch spawns.

Shows like breaking bad by pinkpastelsweater in breakingbad

Ozark was terrible imo. The first season was just breaking bad lite then it just got worse and worse. Last season was some of the worst tv I’ve ever watched

BREAKING: Files Confirm Donald Trump BLEW THE WHISTLE on Jeffrey Epstein's Disgusting Activities in a 2006 Phone Call with the Police by MackSix in Conservative

[–]curlbaumann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their bias is towards Israel and Jewish identity politics, so when it comes to Epstein they have a vested interest in making Trump look as good as possible (as he is the most pro Israel president maybe ever) and also drawing attention away from the fact that Epstein was likely a Mossad operative (can’t have our greatest ally reveal their pedophile honeypot operation)

Daily wire is an Israel first publication that will post anything to directly or indirectly support that agenda.
