An NCR themed lower was pitched in the big PSA thread.  We caught shit from the normies thinking we were retarded for wanting a California themed lower.

They'd probably infringe on Bethesda's copyright and trademarks by doing it, so I doubt they'll do it, and the chances of getting license is basically 0.

Yeah, if you look past the nostalgia / "ooo, it's the Fallout universe!" factor, it's a really dumb show.

While the ghoul character is interesting... do we really need to spend 20 minutes of every episode showing his past life in great detail? Probably not...

And the tranny.... holy shit I was hoping they would kill him/her/it off in that battle at the observatory.... talk about a character that provides nothing to the story, but serves only to check off some DEI checkbox for the production company... JFC.

Think of how stupid the average person is.  Half the people in the world are more stupid.    Sure they can be that stupid and it's not like Vaulttec was selecting for intelligence in most cases.

Why would random bubbas in a department store with a Mr. Handy have FEV in injectors?

I think JET makes the most sense, given the application device and how it’s sourced from the hillbillies in the store. JET doesnt make sense for staving off further feralness though… Maybe he was just experiencing withdrawls.

We were discussing what was given to Thaddeus by Dr Chicken Fucker.

I also doubt it was any form of FEV though. Even the Institute couldn't refine that into something that amazingly good.

Started rewatching and there are some major plot holes.

Moldaver is not a ghoul, but is over 200 years old.

If she was in cryo she wouldn’t have the 200 year old ghoul of Lucy’s mom, nor built an empire.

Moldaver knew and cared for Lucy and her mom yet sent someone to fuck and then kill Lucy?

Hank somehow didn’t recognize her when she infiltrated the vault, but then knows who she is at the end of the vault raid?

I genuinely think they changed directions at the very last moment to make Moldaver into a good guy and fucked some of their story up.

The show never explains how Moldaver survived, we are left to assume she had some form of cryo tech like the Vault Tec executives. She met Lucy's mom when Lucy's mom fled the fault and wound up in Shady Sands, where Moldaver was already some sort of leader. When the vault nuked Shady Sands Lucy's mom turned into a ghoul from exposure to the bomb.

Entirely possible. The only way you can justify Moldaver trying to kill Lucy is that she assumes Hank's influence had made her a hardcore vault dweller, and thus the enemy of the Nude California Republic. There is something of a question of whether Hank would have met Moldaver when he left the vault to retrieve Lucy from Shady Sands... we are left to assume that either by some magic coincidence he never met her, or he did and he is trapped by not mentioning she is from the outside because that would reveal to the vault that not only had he left the vault but that the vault had nuked an established government on the outside. So either Hank, a guy who nuked a whole city to hide its existence from the vault was willing to sacrifice a lot of his own vault to continue that lie, or he just didn't know who Moldaver was... either way is functional yet kind of goofy.

The chicken fucker may have had the fev. I don't think dude is going to turn into a ghoul, iirc, that's from exposure to radiation.

Fo4 has the worst story line of any of the ones I've played (3, NV and some of 4).  In 4, all of the factions are garbage and you basically have to pick one. At the time, I had friends that helped different factions, so I decided to help the railroad so we could compare our stories and I got bored with it and quit playing.

I don't get to play games basically at all anymore but if I was going to play again, I'd probably start a new character in NV.  IMO, it's got the best story, enough crafting and mods to your equipment to be interesting without it being annoying like the settlements in 4.

Yeah, he's not a ghoul. Knight Maximus Dumbassus was just stupid and Lucy doesn't know any better to challenge it.

It's a mutation of some sort. Probably not FEV. That'd be pretty lore breaking if Dr Chicken Fucker could concoct that in the ruins of a bombed out clinic, unless Thaddeus starts gaining progressively more severe mutations in S2, I think we can rule out FEV.

And I'm telling you all, even though 76 is the bastard step-child of the franchise, it's the "Healing Factor" mutation serum.  The comments about colors definitely hinted at that, as the fluxes used for serums are referenced by different colors.

The show doesn't go into detail, but the "raiders" are possibly the remnant of the NCR from Shady Sands. Or they are just regular raiders that Moldaver leads in her little Griffith Observatory hippy commune Nude California Republic base.

Realistically the NCR had to have had far more towns and bases than just Shady Sands, and the show is kind of oversimplifying the NCR in both size and viability. Nuking Shady Sands would be like someone nuking Sacramento... it wouldn't suddenly make the rest of California vanish. I think the writers just wanted to eliminate the NCR as a faction and this was their way of doing it.

Watched it, was OK.  But nothing very good.

As with every series, 8 hours is too much for writers to come up with plots and scripts for, so there's lots of time wasting filler to meet the contractual obligation.

It's not well written, but then few things are.  Some glaring points:

The vault is supposed to run out of water in two weeks and it's never mentioned again, instead half go to the other vault.

The Ghoul is beaten up by Knight Max-pad, then later on kills 2-3 of them due to the weak point in the armor - whatever the writer needs, it happens.

Why didn't the one vault recognize that the other vault were Raiders, instead of the people they've been dealing with for years?

Everything is ready for cold fusion, all it needs is a magic McMuffin from the head and a secret password, or something.  Don't you also need to have fuel / equipment / tools / infrastructure?  Cold fusion isn't a software program that just needs the access code to work.

Commie broad can do it all - invent cold fusion, be a commie, live 200 years, found a new government, have sex with women.  Boring and bad writing.

Knight Maxi-paid is a waste of screen time, and contributes nothing.

Lots of the usual crutches - when the plot tails off and no one knows what to do, put in a pointless sex scene, or an exploding head with buckets of blood.  The shock value is supposed to take the audience's mind off the bad writing.

I won't bother with Season 2.  Between this, and the Boys turning into a toilet snake, as well as the ads now on Prime videos, even older ones, I don't think I'll renew my Prime membership.  It's up to 150 bucks or more, can't remember, and you can get free shipping with a certain dollar amount of purchases most times anyway, or at least you used to.

I don't really get wound up by an entertainer's politics.
I try not to, but it seems the left lets politics consume everything they do

Why didn't the one vault recognize that the other vault were Raiders, instead of the people they've been dealing with for years?

Primary intervault communication is via “email”; the only time they actually see them is when it’s time to exchange members for breeding.

Years could go by without actual eye contact.

I discovered that the company making fallout (and other video game) lowers is local to me, emailed the owner, and he is happy to engrave lowers for me. I've had a Nodak 601 lower in a box for 15 years. Next gun project in progress!

Just for shits and giggles, I went onto Steam and got my account up again.

Found and downloaded Fallout 4 from my library and installed it on this new computer.

It found my last saved game from 2016 and I was able to continue my play from there!  Technology has gotten amazing

Don’t forget to install the hi-res texture pack (it shows up as optional DLC) if you already haven’t installed it.

Also, don’t forget to install the Phone/Tablet mobile pip boy app so you can use your pip boy on a separate device.

If you don’t have the cardboard holder for your phone, a little duct tape works quite well to hold your phone to your arm.  You loose a little arm hair when you remove it but it is well worth it.

Painter's tape works as well and is the proper vault suit color.

She is a nasty little thing.



We just finished the last two episodes Friday night.

They set up a second season PERFECTLY.

I think they used the term "telegraph".

It was more like chat, when you finally got to see it work.

Moldaver knew and cared for Lucy and her mom yet sent someone to fuck and then kill Lucy?

Hank somehow didn’t recognize her when she infiltrated the vault, but then knows who she is at the end of the vault raid?

I genuinely think they changed directions at the very last moment to make Moldaver into a good guy and fucked some of their story up.

Moldaver was in a pod for a while, then came out and started the New California Republic.

She just missed getting killed when Hank nuked Shady Sands.
