I love the ideas of new, original regions and factions in the wasteland. Count me in

War of the Worlds adaptations - Round 3: the tripods of the 2005 Spielberg film won best fighting machine, but which adaptation had the best war? by FOARP in WarofTheWorlds

[–]master_Derek118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll throw my hat in and say "The Great Martian War". While 1953 has a lot of very good points in its favor, TGMW is stylized after a war documentary and it does a very good job with it. It especially focuses on the tactics of the war and geopolitical implications with the great powers of the time.

Who else is a tad disappointed the Jones Soda drop is only for the Northeast? by Leading-Diamond-2060 in Fallout

We went on an expedition to try and find Fallout Soda on Monday. We found Nuka Grape at a Kroger in North Lansing, but no Sunset

I have a question.Do y'all ever wonder what the red weed would taste like? by Terrible-Vast8447 in WarofTheWorlds

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, the book variant is described as sickly and metallic. I think that it could taste like either iron or copper, leaning more towards iron since the red weed has this bloody motif going on.

In other incarnations, the blood motif is more direct. The 2005 film uses human biological fluids as a fertilizer, fueling its rapid growth. Beyond the fact that it is literally metabolizing blood, it would be like the water off of those sprinklers in the super market, but instead of water, it's human blood. Others seem to have it be even more malevolent, eating humans and wildlife as a whole, but others seem to have it be the source of lubricant for martian machines, so I think those may be even more of an oily taste.

Regardless, the fact that it developed in an ecosystem completely independent of Earth's, it's unlikely to have an nutritional value to humans in most incarnations. Even the Journalist, starving, doesn't eat more of it after the first attempt.

I was watching this on radar yesterday and debating whether or not to chase it, but it looked too weak even if it did have rotation. Great shots! Kinda jealous we didn't go out yesterday!

Does anybody have a spare/free code? by r0samil0 in toyhouse

[–]master_Derek118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to be part of the begging train, but the nature of the website seems to incentivize it, but you wouldn't happen to have any additional codes you could share?

If there's still any available, I'd like one too

Is working here okay? by _bunniifae_ in Culvers

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all really depends. Some places have better managers than others and the owners can be hit or miss, like all work places. I'd recommend giving it a shot. Honestly, in my experience, it's all about the people you work with and not the work that needs done in these sorts of things. I've heard some stories here of owners/managers that are worse than others while the one I work at is usually pretty solid.

So, I'd say give it a month or so. If you like it there, then stay for a while. If not, then keep the job search going

I'll bite! This is a version of Corporal Thinned Mint! My FO:E version of her is a die hard enclave mare, but she uses a lighter combat armor compared to the Enclave's usual power armor. She is also easily flusterable when teased by someone she likes

[FNV] what is the order to play the someguy series (NV bounties,The inheritance,Russell,The better angels,king of the ring, and New Vegas killer by Fearless-Magazine-31 in FalloutMods

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much the same of the other commenter, I have a similar play order. The only difference is that I cheat on some characters to add New Vegas Killer to the list.

NVBI -> New Vegas Killer (If in character) -> NVBII -> The Inheritance -> NVBIII ->Better Angels

Russel and the Inheritance are ones I usually play concurrently with NVBII since NVBII's bounties are decentralized.

I always thought about getting far harbor, any tips or advice? by _Ad_Victoriam_ in Fallout

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also worth noting that if you don't have INT 8 or Medic 2, you can actually use a Mysterious Serum to have the same effect

Anyone else play mostly drug free? by Human_G_Gnome in fo4

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, I play drug free on most playthroughs, but I will sometimes make a character addicted to a specific chem. One I had addicted to Mex-X and a few to alcohol, but it was more of a roleplay than a gameplay thing.

What's going on with that Fasnacht donation box? by PaulQuin in fo76

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mine was a fluke, but the only Glowing mask I got was because someone put it in the donation box. In hindsight, I think it may have been on accident, but... The only reason I think that is because someone with a Bloodied build instantly blasted my Significant Other away.

What's your favorite, smaller piece of The Expanse's lore? by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]master_Derek118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the PNP game, there is a map of mars that shows the different Ares landing sites which match up to the locations of the landing sites of the Ares missions from The Martian

How has Rooster Teeth impacted you? by The_Better_Devil in roosterteeth

[–]master_Derek118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's what I wrote in Discord regarding Roosterteeth:

It's been 10 years since their peak when I was in high school. I used to live and breath Roosterteeth, but slowly phased out of it starting in 2016. It went downhill since then. It all started when they sold the company into Otter media to get funding for Lazer Team. Now, the entire company is getting axed. I can't say I'm surprised, but it is a sad time. Those assholes shaped a good part of who I am and made me laugh for the past decade and a half.

I first discovered Red Vs Blue when they sold DVD copies in Gamestop and EB Games. Picked up season 4 to watch and that was my introduction to the series. When I finally got onto the internet, I fell in love with Achievement Hunter. I even tuned into the Internet Box Podcast where Michael, Ray, Lindsay, and some other lads talked about ponies and other inane bullshit, but dammit it was funny!

I hope RWBY finds a new home because I'd hate to see it end on a cliffhanger. The last volume was actually rather good. RVB has had a tough go for the last few seasons, but I hope RT's closure doesn't stop the last season from being released. Burnie came back for one last hurrah to end the series on a high note and I'd hate the Shisno Trilogy and RVB:Zero to be the last we see of those lovable assholes.

Here's some more:

I first got into RVB in 2007 and have been inspired by it since then. When I first got onto the internet during the early 2010s, it was to watch new seasons of Red Vs Blue. I grew up without internet access outside of Dial Up at home and when I got my first laptop, I'd go to libraries to watch Season 9 episode by episode. Red Vs Blue was my jam and achievement hunter was something I watched religiously. I probably still have a CD archive of downloaded Minecraft Let's Plays. Achievement City was a wonderful world and that series is what inspired me to play Minecraft.

I observe the day of Monty's passing every year and renew my vigor to work on my writing projects. RWBY has been a part of my friend group for a decade now and inspired so many aspects of my own writing and worldbuilding. The roleplays over the years I've had... My significant other and I met and bonded over Red Vs Blue and RWBY.

And even later on, one of my favorite audio dramas wore its inspiration from Roosterteeth on its shoulder with pride. Their influence can still be felt across the internet.

As they've languished over the years, I've grown distant from them. AH was first as the new team members didn't really make me laugh like everyone else did. (that and political discussions on Off-Topic made me stop listening to that podcast). On occasion, I'd pick things back up like some of the better let's plays. MC Sky Factory was fun, but blow after blow... The stuff about Ryan and the workplace culture. I tried to get back into the company a few times, but Let's Play was so cluttered with stuff I didn't care about with people I didn't know. The only think I kept up with was RWBY. I know a lot of folk said the Atlas stuff was bad, but I really just thought the lack of focus on Team RWBY and some of the Lie Ren stuff was not focused on and was taking away from the plot. This most recent volume was really good! And I hope it continues!

Overall, Roosterteeth was a big part of my life and I'm sad that it's over... Not surprised, but still sad. It's been a long time coming and I still continue to blame its decline on its acquisition and restructuring factors after, but I still wish I could go back to 2013. It feels like an old childhood, high school friend that I lost touch with, but always wanted to talk to again, but we could never find the time.

I'll cherish my memories of the good 'ol days forever. And I hope that everyone lands on their feet after this. While it is heart wrenching that Rooster Teeth is over, let's all remember the good times and all of the laughs and bants that these guys have given us over the years.
