I’m a fan, the ergonomics remind me a lot of a Dualshock 3

Oh cool I just assumed you were the one downvote on my comments in this thread lol

And Fallout 1 and 2 not being culturally relevant at this point doesn’t really mean anything, it’s off topic. It just means those games aren’t popular anymore either. But New Vegas has long outlived the bethesda games in pop culture, and imo that’s bc it’s actually well written and interesting on account of the writers having actual knowledge and passion for the franchise (and being better writers in general)

I definitely remember New Vegas being panned on launch, I was kind of part of that when I was too young to know any better lol. But immediate acclaim is very much not an indicator of good media, and tons of all-time classics are panned and misunderstood on release and only appreciated in hindsight. That is very much the case here, fallout 3 and 4 have no cult following or cultural staying power compared to New Vegas, shown by how almost nobody loves them like NV fans love NV and hardly anyone talks about them anymore other than “I would not rob you of that” and “another settlement needs your help”

I’m not saying you can’t prefer 3 or 4, it’s kinda weird and rude downvoting all of someone’s comments just bc you disagree with them about fallout cx

Black Isle became Obsidian, so yeah it’s their thing in every way other than legal. And I don’t like the bethesda fallout games at all. 3 has a story and setting even more creatively bankrupt than The Force Awakens, 4 can barely even be considered an RPG, and they’ve both got bland bethesda writing and characters rather than the iconic stuff from the Black Isle/Obsidian games. I haven’t played 76 but at the very least it seems like bethesda finally did something original with the franchise rather than just copying and pasting everything from the west coast onto the east coast and slapping a green filter on it.

I don’t want a critically acclaimed AAA bethesda RPG, I want another Fallout game. And compared to NV, how much cultural significance does 3 have other than people making fun of it? I see a ton of references to and memes about New Vegas, but not many about 3 besides “it is your destiny and I would not rob you of that” or “death is a preferable alternative to communism”

Sorry to hear that :c my experience has been pretty stable, I use New Vegas Anti-Crash and some unofficial patches, I can share my mod list if you wanna give it a try

Fallout is their own thing tho ;-; bethesda has no idea what they’re doing bc they’re not at all connected to the material, I wanna get at least one more good fallout before I die

Permethrin is amazing, massively recommend. You treat your clothes with it and it’ll kill most bugs (including all ticks) on contact and it lasts for weeks

If you want to write a song that captures those moments, and for it to be meaningful expression of your feelings and story, you’re not gonna accomplish that with “ai”. If you wrote the lyrics or melody or other parts, you should learn how to use some software or get and learn an instrument so YOU can make it, rather than a robot that doesn’t know how you feel and isn’t gonna create anything with heart or soul. It’s obv harder but it’s so much more satisfying and rewarding actually creating your own music and art

Is the track “ai” generated or just the cover pic?

This looks awesome, I’d love to help test it :3

The Battlestar Galactica reboot has a couple really great examples. Starbuck is still a cocky, horny flyboy, but with a ton of juicy bad habits and emotional baggage to unpack, overall a much more compelling character imo. And Colonel Tigh is the holotype specimen for The Mediocre White Guy, a whiny pissant with a major drinking problem and a codependent relationship who’s super unqualified for his position as XO, and is only there bc of cronyism.

I’ve been looking at modern fighter jets for some inspiration in my sci-fi world I’m making, and I was kinda shocked to learn the US is the odd one out for having a relatively small gatling gun with a huge rate of fire and 100s of round of ammo. Turns out most modern jets use much slower firing, higher caliber autocannons and only have like 100-200 rounds on board. Reminds me of how the US almost exclusively used a bunch of .50s on their fighter planes during WWII while the rest of the world started mounting larger cannons on their planes

When air force 1 goes down:

Left unity doesn’t include right wingers who are willing to throw away and entire election because they won’t stop supporting Israel. If you wanna win an election, try actually appealing to the left instead of obstinately moving farther and farther right along with the party you unconditionally support

I voted for Kamala btw, so don’t bother trying that angle. And I will never, for any reason, support newsom and his anti trans, anti homeless, fascist platforming ass. If you’re already supporting him, you’re exactly why Kamala lost, and why he’ll lose in 2028

This whole case is fishy as hell, prob a false flag conspiracy, certainly not a genuine attack by someone who opposes ICE. Nobody, certainly not an edgelord, would write “anti-ice”, it reeks of bullshit the same way as when republicans burn flags and graffiti their home and pin it on Antifa. And ofc nobody but a stormtrooper could go into an attack with the intent of hurting ice or liberating a camp and only shoot detainees.

Hey where are the epstein files?

Extra vile considering Mamdani’s still super popular and the election hasn’t even happened. Reminds me of the blue push to act like progressivism is done and support right wing pieces of shit like gavin newsom when the party’s rightward shift has demonstrably been incredibly unpopular and has cost them multiple elections

I always thought that either the republican party would split into fascist and ultra-fascist, or democrats would go far-right. So glad I get to see both while they all unite against anyone and anything to their left :D

Go for Eric. Whether or not you can handle being platonic friends with your ex is up to you, but there’s no good to be had from putting off other romantic interests in favor of someone who doesn’t want the same kind of relationship as you, and likely never will. If being friends with your ex and dating Eric is too much for you, just take some time apart, or separate on good terms.
