Fallout 4 was an improvement on the two previous Fallout titles in terms of shooting mechanics and graphics, but a downgrade in pretty much everything else, and it's going to be another 6 years until another real Fallout title so that shit is the lasting impression the series will have for years to come


Fallout 3 was the lowest point of Bethesda game development for me, so unlike most people, I went into 4 with my expectations bottomed out. I actually wasn't going to even buy it until a friend described settlement-building to me - I've craved having that or something like it ever since I first played Oblivion. So with me lagging well behind the hype train, I was in a better position to appreciate the criticisms they took to heart from 3 and the slight improvements that came from them: better combat, better companions, better worldbuilding, better main quest structure. They weren't vast improvements, but a stale piece of bread cut from NV's loaf was still infinitely better than Fallout 3's dried turd sandwich.

I don't like Fallout 3 either but I feel like even it did a better job as an RPG giving you choices and taking your stats and skills into account than Fallout 4 did

Nah. I went back and replayed it recently, the choices in that game are as pointless and as shallow as in 4, it's just disguised better by giving you more of them.

Most of us have this opinion about fallout 4 ruining dialog because of new Vegas, not fallout 3.

Bethesda is dogshit at writing and dialog.

I like fallout 4 more than 3, but not as much as NV.

Especially with all the dlc and mods and stuff. I hated settlements when it was for the minutemen because the minutemen are a bunch of jobbers and the settlements were always so needy. Nuka world made settlements actually fun. Taking over some and subjugating others. Defense of them is easier since there are armed Raiders on site at all times. Hell, the Raiders even set up checkpoints on the roads near any settlements they control or subjugate, also, Raiders actually spawn out of nowhere sometimes to help you in battle in the open world.

Also, I love automatron for the simple fact that turning Ada into a nearly indestructible, heavily armored Assaultron with a gatling laser and hammer saw is amazing. I like to play stealth, so it's perfect, as she fuckin runs in and tanks everything while I sneak around doing suppressed heads hots.

Hot take: most games these days with any kind of major hype end up disappointments when looked at through hindsight.

The games most of us still talk about favorably from this Gen tend to be ones we didn't really expect.

Teeth and gum problems are easily the most painful thing that can happen aside from just straight up torturing yourself.

Diarrhea can also be extremely, gut-wrenchingly painful, lol

The worst pain I've ever felt was being stung by a baby bark scorpion in Arizona.

I effing hate those things. I was never stung by a baby one but Ive been stung by adult ones. Ive heard the baby ones are supposed to be the most painful though.

I stepped on it in the dark at 4am while taking a piss that I had woken up to do.

I spent a solid 30 minutes in such intense pain I couldn't do anything but just sit on the floor with my hands on my face.

Kidney Stones. Wouldn't wish them on anyone.

I had a small one as a teen when I was dumb and would drink soda all the time. Never again.

The only way I can feasibly see myself passing one bigger than that tiny one I had, would be to be intoxicated on any number of substances to dull it.

as someone who buys them almost every day: they probably weren't in as good condition as you think. everyone always tells me they kept their cards nice, and they always come in played.

I never played. I just collected. I'd put them in card sleeves, and for the nicer ones in those sealable hard plastic cases.

I used to have a bunch that are now worth a decent amount and in good condition.

Are you sure they were first edition tho

I had first editions of most of the first holo rare cards released. I never got a 1st edition charizard, but I had 4 regular ones.

I used to mow lawns and do odd jobs around the area even at age 11/12 when pokemon first got big in the states. I'd always go to the local card/board game shop and buy booster packs with my money. My family was broke as shit, so doing that work myself was how I afforded stuff like that, and bought a Gameboy color and consoles and stuff.

I think that's why I've always taken really good care of anything I own or collect.

The primary difference is lemon and cherry. Pepsi contains lemon, Coke contains cherry, both in their standard recipes.

Nope, AZ native, gotta have it. Especially in the summer.

I always keep my house at 77 or lower. Idc how expensive it is, I have to live a certain way.

It's pretty expensive to go lower than 78 here in AZ.

I keep mine at 79 but it's right above my bedroom so it's fine.


Yeah... I know SRP gives us peak/off times for power usage but I usually disregard that when it comes to the summer months. I am mindful of it if I'm not at home, though.

I always turn my AC up to 80/81 when I leave the house.

My house is on one of those flat rate srp plans. Where you end up paying the same rate year round, which helps in summer, but if you use high energy stuff during the peak times for that season, it costs more.

I got a talking to recently for using the washer and dryer during peak hours because I had no clean undies for work that night.
