Because of my ~delightful~ physical condition, I can’t work. I’m going to have to spend between sixteen and eighteen hundred dollars for a nerve test. A single test.
I’m considering opening simple sketch commissions to help Tim with the medical costs. They can’t be anything too…
Signal boosting!
Lingual differences.
Those damn German rascals…! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
This should not be making me laugh as much as it is right now.
I’m really sorry to interject and make a fuss over nothing, but it really bothers me when people use the American flag to represent the English language. It’s stupid.
I… actually feel offended. And a bit disgusted.
This must be how Japanese people feel about western Otakus.

I… actually feel offended. And a bit disgusted.
This must be how Japanese people feel about western Otakus.
Good news!
I found an old Google Doc containing work on the second chapter of that Fallout 3 fanfic I was writing!
This will save me a lot of time!
Oh god
I just realised
What the Courier meant in Old World Blues
When he says he likes to ‘Find some Cram, strap some duct tape around the lid, good to go’
Oh god and when you say that to Doctor 8, every day you visit him he gives you those things, along with a copy of La Fantoma
You know, that comic with the female superhero in it
Oh god, I feel so filthy right now
AWWWW SHIT LOOK WHAT I FOUND
I’m gonna kick the League’s ass all over again.
I hate to be the Messenger of Death and all that, but 1st / 2nd gen pokemon carts only had saves because of internal batteries, that last about ten to fifteen years.
So enjoy it while you can, I guess. I just hope you don’t have another cart with all 151 pokemon on it.
I find it quite funny (and a little annoying) that during the whole ‘Stripped down to your undies, strapped with explosives and told to do as they say) part of New Vegas’s Brotherhood of Steel quest, your companions get away unharmed.
This was a fantastic chance for world interaction! Your companions could have been hauled off for interrogation, or perhaps strapped / stripped like you were! They could have taken ED-E away, and not given him back until later in the quest! The game designers could at LEAST have added some new dialogue! From your companions, or yourself! Really pile on the indignation!
But no. Your companions (ED-E and Gannon in my case) just watch from the sidelines as you’re forced to strip down at gunpoint by a bunch of big men in power armour. Silently watching.
Judging.
What a bunch of bastards. They’d be crying too.
New Vegas is rather unique among Fallout games, in that the backstory for your character is not laid out. Sure, you’re a courier, but it never says where / what kind of society you’re from, what your upbringing was like, why you chose a career as a courier, etc etc.
With that in mind, think of Dragon Age origins. There’s no generic starting area that all races begin in. Where you start and what you do at the beginning of the game is unique depending if you’re a dwarf / human / whatever, and even though the rest of the game pretty much plays out exactly the same (except certain dialogue choices, of course) this makes each playthrough feel special, and each character different.
Now imagine if a a Fallout game had that. For sake of example, imagine if you could choose at the start of New Vegas, if your character was a:
- NCR citizen
- Tribal
- Legion frumentarius
- Poor New Vegas citizen
- Rich New Vegas Citizen
- Ghoul
- etc
And you started out in a unique zone, with quests that only appear for that choice. And then at the end of that, there’s the ‘Getting shot in the head and waking up in Goodsprings’ thing, and the Mojave adventure begins.
Add some unique dialogue for each choice, and maybe a few unique quests / perks, and it would phenomenal. But of course, this would mean the game taking considerably longer to develop and, well, this IS Bethesda we’re talking about.
Men Can Stop Rape’s new College Bystander Intervention campaign.
Actual good anti rape campaign posters! They don’t shame victims, they ask people to examine their own actions and inactions and protect their friends. And not in a gross excuse for chivalry either, just as people keeping people safe.
I like this.
Yep I agree. I also like how it’s not tying a man taking action around rape to some imaginary alpha male/hypermasculine sort of thing. Like a real man would do such and such.
Hey look! It’s an anti-rape campaign based on being a decent human being! In all seriousness, this is marvelous. I bolded the above for emphasis.
I suppose they’re alright, but to be honest they seem a bit obnoxious and patronising. I mean, just reading these makes me think ‘No shit?’. Especially the name of the organisation. ‘Men can stop rape’. Wow, really? I never thought of that! That’s GENIUS! /s
