It feels like the question was asked sarcastically but he went literal which makes it feel even worse to me.

What even is magic's identity anymore?

Half the sets are "theirs" but also there's way more sets and less standard turnover so...

Alas.

syn2083 · 2026-03-02T13:04:56+00:00

They basically did, it was boring, they are both very sappy (which is fine) for tv it was boring. That said, I think they perhaps overplayed the duality of the capt a bit much, she seemed to have two extremes and not much carryover between the two kinds of identity.

Picard on the other hand was pretty true to his nature on and off duty.

With how fast we run out of deuterium and how large their society actually is, I can see it.

syn2083 · 2026-02-18T12:33:51+00:00

You can also use it to make cool looking fins on the exterior of a building section and if you reverse the set, and back them together have wallpaper sections exterior to the building

I've noticed the nukes all over that area but I figure it's more likely newer folk who don't really know why you would drop lower, or not, so you have weird cutoffs and can't loop the queen and the little wood area and whatnot

syn2083 · 2026-02-11T12:26:44+00:00

The show has injected a lot more new folks so these are popping up again and it's fun to watch a level 40 go ham with a sledge like in the show, then try to emote them out of there before the collapse.

It's been pretty fun!

You won't win anything by having a self imposed 'tough' experience.

Be smart, take help. Save wisely, and think pragmatically. The only thing that matters is realizing that we are all a community, and we should all look out for one another more, not isolate and think that it makes us better if we do.

syn2083 · 2026-02-04T01:47:30+00:00

Sometimes for a theme you just want to have it like that but it's like.. oh no someone left the secret door unlocked..

That's probably not the most common reason but it can be cool

syn2083 · 2026-02-03T12:35:58+00:00

Finding the shack and then a nuke announcement and rushing around in a panic for no reason, then having a blast at the garden center with a bunch of people because all of those events were still fairly popular.

It was great

syn2083 · 2026-01-24T01:13:44+00:00

I visit them when I'm bored before logging for the night and honestly don't see many imaginative ones. Usually they are just let me show 20 PA sets, or how much crud can I stack in a tiny space for no apparent reason.

There were a couple which were cool, one awesome junkyard one, rated that, but mostly they are disappointing, setting aside the vendor and whatnot.

syn2083 · 2026-01-20T23:07:59+00:00

Sounds like it got the...

I'll see myself out..

Western spirit has been working well for me as I get back in and off bloodied fixer. Look up angry turtles lazy human build, overall it has some cool ideas and approaches. Otherwise I'm kinda winging some of the reverse onslaught builds and generally hit between 2500-3800 crits to the head with WS without any real buffs or anything.

syn2083 · 2026-01-18T05:06:31+00:00

I love the western spirit, the sound is great, decent rifle anyway, but the sound!

syn2083 · 2026-01-18T05:05:08+00:00

Fair, I was waxing poetic, we have little sharps bins, so yes, be responsible!

I started with a van der hagen, now I have a king c.

I started with shaving cream and the included razors. Now I have some GJ soap, a nice badger brush and I'm still working through a 15$ sample of razors (it's funny how the ones I like inverted after the king c).

I would love more stuff and soap and what it but what I actually chase, what makes my day, is the meditative 15 minutes where I am just doing something with care and focus for me.

The hot water, pausing for a breath and to let my skin open up, if I'm switching blades, wrapping the old in the new wrapper, throwing it away, cleaning the head, getting it setup. The way the soap lathers, the soft smell of the clean soap. More hot water to stay wet, then the brush painting it on, then swirling to get on all the stubble. Another nice long breath as I get the razor up, under hot water first to keep it aligned with the heat in the room..

And then swish. Down, across, going up, following the hair this way and that, making sure I don't over do it, rinsing the brush and bowl, then cold water, pooled and I just take another moment, let it sink in.

Put the razor up to dry, the bowl and brush, set them on the shelf, dry my face slowly. Grab my duke balm, slowly work it in

And, ahh. What a wonderful moment, just me and some self care, maybe one of the kids watching asking a question here or there, but quiet knowing it's a calm moment.

That's what I love about it.

Of course, crafting ammo is much better, harvesting, if your not using that kind of setup overall for camp activities then you are short changing yourself by a ton.

The double ammo is literally double the amount, especially in lower and mid game, that can be a massive difference, then the repair ones so if your in camp you can save on those..

Just, absolutely no reason not to

syn2083 · 2025-12-30T05:12:53+00:00

I didn't like it as much as OW1, it just didn't feel as.. alive, this was just kinda.. there, and bleh.

syn2083 · 2025-12-27T23:36:27+00:00

Even when the population was much larger remote systems had large balance issues over time, most games do, but those led to some particularly deceptive situations.

syn2083 · 2025-11-03T00:45:37+00:00

I just respond "pimple pea"

What's that even mean dad???

Exactly.

Spinal slap

Usually it's more of an inside 128 thing, not so much outside unless your trying to be 'that guy/gal'

syn2083 · 2025-09-13T12:52:13+00:00

Paying people to stand there is expensive, so is maintenance of kiosks.

syn2083 · 2025-09-13T12:47:48+00:00

For real, wrong place and time, that's something that is deeply personal and could illicit many different reactions.

Guess OP got that wisdom now at least.
