That’s an interesting point that I hadn’t considered, the comparison to Google indexing in the early 2000’s may prove to be very apt with the number of people I’ve seen using chat GPT as a search engine.

Very cool! It’ll be interesting to see what the purpose of weird tube appendages are in the future.

no, because I normally start brewing at 8 in the morning to fit into my schedule.

Oh my god I never learnt this! That would’ve made the final level so much easier

I’ve got such mixed feelings about Fallout 4. Yes, the story isn’t great but tbh I was never expecting it to be very good. This game does come from the same company that in Fallout 3 wouldn’t let you send Fawkes into the water purifier because by doing so you would break the story (sorry for spoilers on a 15 year old game).

Obviously where the game really shines is in the gun play/ combat and the gameplay loop. Those two factors alone make me want to replay FO4 every so often, however whenever I do, I always find myself inexorably drawn to settlement building, each time I do a replay I try to do as little of it as I can but still end up taking ages setting it all up.

I remember when I first completed Fallout 4, feeling underwhelmed by the story, I comforted myself by thinking “They spend ages working on the creation engine for this release, I’m sure that on the next game there will be more focus on the story”. welp, 8 years since the last (single player) Fallout so it looks like that ain’t happening anytime soon.

The link rot from this is going to be monstrous, RIP

I’m worried the sucsess Netflix has had forcing people to stop password sharing is emboldening companies to perform policies such as this :(

My advice is only really applicable to PC, but don’t be afraid to cheat a little bit for QOL. Things like using player.additem for firewood when crafting arrows or a mod to bypass lock picking (if you hate the mini game) , things like that.

Normally for cheating like this I would say you’ll end up missing out on the way the game was meant to be enjoyed, but that kinda goes out the window when you’ve racked up 1,000+ hours.

They truly are playing by the Elon handbook now.

BBC good food is pretty good for me, can be at little hit and miss but more than makes up for it with having a massive catalog

Unreal stuff. It looks like spez thinks the PR cannot get any worse so he may as well go full scorched earth.
