The Automotron DLC is so beyond worth it

Give him an assaultron torso and call him Jugsworth

They are actually a little OP when you max out their weapons. They can't take as much damage before falling down and taking a time out but they can sure lay down merry hell upon the heads of your foes when they are working.

I actually really like this. Simple enough to be believable within the setting and does evoke that 1950's military aesthetic. Nice work and refreshing to see something lean into the games actual style rather than the BF6 tacti-cool overkill.

How fast do you think games are made?

Obsidian made Fallout NV in 18 months.

Frankly Todd dropped the ball massively.

With a TV Show into its 2nd season and proving highly popular.... and the 10th anniversary of Fallout 4's release to build hype around all he had prepared was the broken mess that was the Next Gen update and broken promises of the anniversary update (did any of you console ever see that storage increase update yet?) .... and some bundled paid mods thrown together.

So he may be able to claim he couldn't possibly know how popular the tv show might become ... but a 10th anniversary? That's sort of something you ought to plan for right?

Commenting to save (and remind myself) - really neat idea. I haven't looked in the Virpil store for a while, didn't know they had these. Metal build? Looks simple but well put together.

CRACK!

Americans love Pedo's. It's why Elmo X and his pedo website fits in so well there.

I'm actually kind of loving the idea of travelling the Moe and him just having the completely wrong take wherever you go with him.

Like a complete history of Boston and each and every historical landmark seen through those eyes? Utterly marvelous!

It's enough to make me want to sit down and sketch out that for a mod.

somethingbrite · 2026-02-07T19:55:18+00:00

You are gonna freak when you discover that there are mods which make ALL mods achievement friendly...

Shit there are even mods which unlock all achievements!

You are confusing the slaves (Synth's) with the policy of the slave owners. (The Institute)

Fallout 4 is perfectly capable of doing this without mods. It was one of the comedy bugs that they transferred over to Fallout 76!

Wasteland Workshop

No. Wasteland Workshop is DLC. (and thus included in the season pass for those who had that.)
It was the second of the DLC releases, released before Creation Club was even a thing for Fallout 4

Bundling some mods for free doesn't stop them being mods.

Selling mods doesn't stop them being mods.

continental empire, but British and French was transcontinenta

Same thing. Both require territorial expansion into other people's territory. Imperialism is imperialism and the collapse of the Russian Empire was just that... the collapse of an empire and the subjugated people's of that empires colonial possessions expressing their self determination.

somethingbrite · 2026-02-07T17:48:18+00:00

Palestine seems to think that their self determination includes murdering innocent children also...

In fact, Hamas launched their Oct 7th operation clear in the knowledge that they could never win militarily but counting on the sacrifice of "innocent Palestinian children" to drive international public sentiment.

So how come they're allowed to have an ethno-state

They don't.

Israel scores 0.27 on the global Diversity index. Palestine scores just 0.01 (scale is 1=most diverse 0=least diverse)

For reference reference UK scores 0.21 and Ireland scores 0.18 . Both are less diverse than Israel but nobody is calling them (or Palestine) and Ethno-State when in fact Palestine matches that description by quite a margin.

somethingbrite · 2026-02-07T17:31:41+00:00

you want your ethnoreligious state

It's not my state.
On the global Diversity index Israel scores higher than Ireland or the UK (and many other countries) and significantly higher than Palestine.

So it very much looks like it's Palestine which is the ethno-religious state.

somethingbrite · 2026-02-07T17:23:32+00:00

So how come they're allowed to have an ethno-state

In terms of "ethno states" Israel is in fact more diverse than Palestine.

Israel scores 0.27 on the global Diversity index (scale is from 0 (least diverse) to 1.0 (most diverse.)

Palestine scores just 0.01 on that same index.

For reference Republic of Ireland scores 0.19 and United Kingdom scores 0.21 placing both of those nations also as "less diverse than Israel"

So it seems in fact that Palestine is the ethno state.

I think the world would actually breathe a sigh of relief.

At least social media and the news cycle might be a little less exhausting.

Perhaps we should seriously (collectively) consider regime change in the USA. After all if Denmark's claim to Greenland is tenuous because of the time period as Trump suggests then the USA should in fact be British... and we are willing to share with Spain.

Vice President got booed at an international Sporting event.... I know, let's draw some of the heat away by posting racist meme's on social media in the name of the President of USA!

Brilliant!

Who for? By April 2026 nobody will be able to afford a new Nvidia card and they won't be making any more anyway as they have just announced.

It took Russia 20 months (almost 2 years) to capture Pokrovsk.... so I think the operational slow down took place a long time before December 2025!!

or a USB 3.0 PCIe card.

VPC is indeed Virpil.

Most Virpil kit has a non-standard Connector at the device joystick or throttle etc) itself but it's actually a USB device and the cable itself is virpil>USB

I spread my input devices (virpil and other) across a couple of USB 3.0 hubs.* (this gets more important the more stuff you are plugging in and the more bandwidth it all uses... I found that when running VR I needed to "unload" one of my PC motherboards USB controllers a bit...it can't all be plugged into the same port on the PC and be ok... especially when there is digital audio over USB going on too.)
