Cazadors are just plain more dangerous. Nightstalkers never felt like particularly dangerous enemies to the same degree. Cazadors are second only to Deathclaws in generating an "oh shit" reaction.

Eh, Cazadors have the edge, but Nightstalkers are still pretty darn close in my book. The both swarm in groups and hit hard with poison damage. Cazadors are faster, but they're also practically neutered by crippling their wings.

The biggest difference is that Cazadors stick to their zones, while packs of Nightstalkers occasionally wander out at night along the southern stretches of the map; if you're unlucky like I was on one of my first playthroughs, you can get swarmed and mutilated by the fuckers if they catch you at a lower level on the road between Nipton and Novac.

For starters, if you have multiple layers, you'll probably need to go Layer > Flatten Image (if you want a white / colored background), or Layer > Merge Visible / Shift+Ctrl+E and then delete any unused layers (if you want a transparent background) before you'll be able to save the file as a .png. The current version of PS can be pretty touchy about which file types it'll allow when you go to save.

Beyond that, there's too many variables to give a straight answer. What sort of edit are you making? How many files do you have to go through?

its like jesus holding a loaded gun to someones temple then going "not today"

Did you ever consider that this level of hero worship for Luke Skywalker might be a tad unhealthy?

Most (all?) of the weirder monsters in Fallout are actually escaped experiments, the gulper and deathclaws are not unique in that respect.

Nightstalkers and Cazadores are also weird-science experiments, the latter having become one of the series' most iconic (or at least infamous) monsters since NV released.

I always wondered why nightmarish rattlesnake-coyote hybrids didn't make an impression on the fandom the way Cazadores did. Probably because Cazadores are directly in the path of every new player's 'fuck you main quest I go wherever I want' route once they leave Goodsprings, so they get the benefit of making a hell of a first impression.

Well, it's built on the back of stolen artwork for the express purpose of making said artists obsolete, so it and its purveyors / advocates are inherently immoral to some degree. It's also not creating any new medium the way photography or digital art / 3D modeling did; I watched the SoraAI teaser video and was thoroughly unimpressed, simply because it wasn't creating anything I haven't already seen a dozen times before. It also shares a lot of similarities with crypto and NFTs in that its advocates are tripping over themselves to cement it as the next big thing, the wave of the future, better accept it or else, etc.

Ultimately AI-generated content's only purpose is to flood an already-oversaturated market of visual media to biblical proportions. And even though I can't shake the existential crisis it poses, I still maintain that even if it has staying power, it ultimately won't hurt the digital art market for those most dedicated to it. AI-generated content just happened to make its splash right when people - even the casual observer - are getting sick of obviously-fake, low-effort computer-generated imagery, and are largely rejecting it in favor of either real imagery / cinematography, or computer-generated imagery that obviously has a high level of skill / care put into it.

Right-wing media is in a tizzy over this because they don't have nearly so large of a name fighting on behalf of their candidate.

He's also done an ad for the Biden campaign and I forget who, some Trump taint licker (think it was Tim Scott) referred to him as "some washed up actor" lmao.

Steve McQueen could rise from his grave just to make a passing remark that Trump might have a few screws loose, and the cultists wouldn't skip a beat declaring him a D-list actor who was never in any good movies.

Well, I came into the topic expecting to gripe about them wasting time on a spinoff series centered around the show's least interesting character, but a stage play is...an intriguing concept, at least.

You could make a topic on CE just to praise the ST for its visual effects and it would still find a way to drift into the same old 'Rey is a Mary Sue' argument shortly after the 100-post mark.

Had to double check that. I'm not gonna lie that's very blink and you'll miss it and outside that scene it's still feels like it's intentionally ambiguous.

People with media illiteracy this bad should probably think twice before critiquing it. Are you also still convinced that Walter White was ultimately a good man who did everything for his family?

Anyway, once someone pointed out that Maximus might have been deliberately written to be neurodivergent, his character made a ton more sense. On two separate occasions he completely locks up during the Brotherhood's interrogation and fails to defend himself when a very simple explanation would've cleared things up in both cases, which the more I thought about it was honestly pretty relatable. The big tell for me was how he dealt with having to give the fusion core back to Vault 4; he didn't even really argue, he just kept saying 'no' like a kid who didn't want his toy taken away.

I will always be more interested in Goldberry.

Incidentally, I recently became aware that Rory Kinnear is Roy Kinnear's son (probably best known as Veruca Salt's dad in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), and it was one of those 'duh' moments where I couldn't believe I didn't realize it sooner (partially for the strong facial resemblance, but mostly because there's only one letter difference between their names).

Whenever I look at a HP set, I'm always seeing it as a collection of nice bricks that will look a lot better in whatever self-made build I use them for. The Deku Tree is something I'd actually keep as intended for the foreseeable future.

Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 election, and more importantly, every single attempt to 'prove' otherwise has failed to produce evidence in such spectacular fashion that it would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing.

Well-written characters generally dont need essay length defenses of their characterization. Broken failure Luke isnt a compelling character, he just a disappointment.

Well that's a swing and a miss of a take, perpetuated by the type of internet posters who glom onto 'safe' media specifically so that they don't have to stick their necks out defending it. Plenty of great art / media is also heavily flawed and controversial, and subsequently gets discussed and argued to death. The true failures are either forgotten, or remembered solely for their camp value. Case in point: The Last Jedi still gets waaaaaay more discussion and analysis than The Rise of Skywalker. Or, to put a finer point on it (since I don't want to get accused of suggesting that TLJ is a 'good' movie overall), Luke's portrayal is still fertile ground for argument; when was the last time you saw someone go to such lengths to defend the Canto Bight sidequest?

I got bored of Bob and finished his game, I have FPGE but honestly melee may be the most boring way to play NV

I always do Melee / Unarmed as a secondary combat. Sometimes you need some up-close button mashing to solve a situation and it can be fun in short bursts (particularly when you're on your 30th bullet-spongy roboscorpion in OWB and you just can't be arsed to waste any more ammo on the fuckers), but I could never commit to a full playthrough of it when there's too many fun guns / energy weapons to use.

That is the weirdest euphemism for dandruff that I've ever heard, but still, don't kinkshame.

I'm sorry Capcom that I haven't given a shit about anything you've done in the past 20 years.

Why didn't the Emperor just not be a dick? Do you think he ever considered at one point or another in his life simply not being a dick?

One would argue it's more feasible than houses. When the river starts to flood you can just drive away!

Just gonna go ahead and suggest that, as someone who put thousands of hours apiece into the following video games, the things that made Oblivion and Fallout 3 'deep' compared to Skyrim and Fallout 4 are, with very few exceptions, not really that deep at all.

Why is this board getting so obsessed with the sequel trilogy all of a sudden? There hasn't been a new one in over five years. Just don't watch them if you hate them so much.

All of the sudden? For seven years running now, even the simple mention of 'TLJ' in the topic title will easily land you 100+ posts.

I can predict the future with 95% accuracy, but only if I don't tell anybody; any time I make an open declaration about how things are going to turn out, I'm always wrong.

Super, which of course makes me one of those insufferable weirdoes that will forever put it on a pedestal.

Pretty much my sentiments exactly. The rest of the movie fell flat quite hard, but I liked what they did with Luke enough that it at least helped elevate my overall enjoyment of the ST just slightly above the PT.

I certainly have a greater appreciation for HOAs after living ten feet from neighbors who have gotten progressively shittier over the last several years with no sign of reversing course.

Of course, but it pays to keep a few key outfits in your inventory for passing skill checks, like the Naughty Nightwear and Follower's Lab Coat; in this case the Utility Jumpsuit provides a very helpful Lockpicking boost, and Vault 3 is the only vault that has them.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I tend to do the Khans quest fairly early for two reasons: chem recipes, and early access to Vault 3 so I can grab an ever-useful Vault Utility Jumpsuit without having to shoot the place up.

Fallout 4. Quite surprisingly, the next-gen patch actually did wonders for the game's stability on XB, and it's playable for the first time in almost five years. Almost 50 hours in and I've only had a single crash, and that was from trying to reload a quicksave made in the single-most crash-prone spot on the map; by this point on my attempted playthrough a few months ago I would've crashed literally two dozen times already.

Been having a ball exploring DT Boston with confidence for the first time in years, and am looking forward to building some half-decent elaborate settlements for a change.

I never really cared for it, tbh. "Sanctuary" was a banger, though.

holy crap I didnt know it was Alan Rickman playing Snape.
and he was Hans Gruber from DieHard?!
That dude was a legend.

I wish more people also remembered Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Kevin Costner Robin Hood. Dude was second only to Kilmer's Doc Holliday in terms of committed grand theft cinema on 90's-era flicks.

Pleasing taste...some monsterism.
