This time I've been going with overly dramatic voice lines for the main story, since I usually went with sarcastic before. I figure the voice actors got paid to say them, and more importantly, it gives the wastelanders something to talk about, that one time a Vaultie swept into town screaming about her baby, buying a bunch of ammo and then peacing out to go on a murderous rampage 3 blocks over.
Also, apparently people have been settling in these settlements I've been clearing out for other settlements. I guess I should build them shit. Or not.
I have the teleporter built, buuut I just put on the silver shroud outfit, and Curie looks pretty bad ass in a clean black suit and sunglasses... I mean, my kid is still a baby, I have plenty of time to track... Steve?.. Shane?... whatever, it doesn't matter, down.
I can't be replaced by AI, mostly because I doubt AI can build a patio, kitchen, and water feature while being able to say "suck my balls!" In 5 different languages.
I mean, who doesn't like sandy yams.
So, the Tesla Cannon kinda trivializes the Mechanist's lair. I don't even have to use VATS just kinda fire it off in all directions and then aim at whatever is still left.
Also when we entered Hubris Comics, Curie pillaged Groknak's Axe for herself, and she was so happy I let her keep it, and let me tell you, she absolutely destroys everything with it! We got ambushed by a death claw and by the time I got turned around she was already fighting it and killed it herself.
Okay, let's get this started again! Got hooked again from watching season 1 of the TV show (please no spoilers for season 2) on DVD. I'm definitely going with more of a completion of exploration. I went with the canonical name of Nora, which surprisingly opens up some name dropping in dialog. I found Curie for the first time, she was my companion for awhile, I have Cait with me now, but I just got her sober so I'll probably switch back to Curie.
Yeah i usually only play for an hour or two at a time.
Outer Worlds 2 is pretty good! Not a fan of the progression system but whatever. I am a fan of them adding 3rd person and customizable prosthetics right out of the gate though and it's still a fun time, I just haven't really gotten to into yet. I've tried Avowed a few times and I just don't like it.
I worked last weekend and did pretty well.
Just for that I'm not going to go back and fix it.Yeah, just checked in with Shiro because he has much broader work experience than I do (he was a 1970s line worker at an auto factory, for example), and he has the exact same life experience I do: You get 10 paid holidays a day, and they're aligned with Federal holidays as much as possible. So seems like this is yet another, "Screw you, Millenials and younger!" moment...Well, looks like I'm moving to California! It's Canon now.
Well played, sir.
After countless hours over however many years I've finally discovered Curie, who is now a synth and pillaged Groknak's Axe from Hubris Comics herself so I let her keep it.

I will say, AI has made it easier to guess political allegiance for men, if they use AI, they're most likely conservative. Women, however, pretty much all middle age women in Wisconsin swear by it. It's a really weird break.
"There is a lot of old tech abandoned here! I'll have to tag it so the brotherhood can pillage it after we're done here" - Paladin Danse, as I'm cramming absolutely everything into my backpack.
Yeah watching the TV show made me reinstall Fallout 4.
I finished season 1 of Fallout. I absolutely loved it! I don't have any criticism.
Yes, it is absolutely amazing! That said don't be afraid to play it on story mode until you get the parry timing down it's surprisingly hard. That said, it is one of my 5 all time favorite games I can't recommend it enough.
So, this evening I found out that my parents' couch can go into a full recline with one button press. Which is fine, whatever. What wasn't fine about it was that I found this out when I was getting myself set-up to paint minis at a TV tray and bumped said button with a paint case without knowing it existed. Suddenly my feet were lifting the TV tray which had minis, a couple of paint dropper bottles, and my full rinse jar on it while I'm trying to grab things so they don't fall and my mother frantically trying to get the dang thing to stop moving. One of the paint bottles almost became victim to the puppy, but we discovered it before she punctured it thankfully. I worked with a kid a few years ago that the first time he rode in my truck he asked "how do you roll down the windows?!" "You just roll them down" How?!! There's no button!!" "You just ROLL them down (shows him how the hand crank works) "Holy shit, I've never seen that before!!"
On the one hand, I'm glad nobody spoke to me last night at work, especially about sports. On the other hand, I kinda hoped someone would ask me about the Super Bowl so I could say "Oh, sorry. I don't watch hockey."But I love the Superb Owl We won!!!!
I've also gotten the first season of Fallout on DVD, I'm two episodes in and so far I LOVE the fan service, not just the main stuff like power armor and ghouls and all that but the tiny environmental details like the wind blowing through the container sounds or the various things littering the ground like it would in the game. That said, I'm only 2 episodes in so no spoilers! I like it so far though.
New game: Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 (on Game Pass).
I finished the main story of Assassins Creed Valhalla, overall it is very fun, but entirely too long but not as obnoxiously long as Odyssey. That said, I did like the ending, even though I picked up on it fairly early on. Overall it was a fun game and I loved the historical name drops as a history nerd. I recommend it, but only if you like kinda grindy open worlds. If you're a fan of Assassins Creed games then I do not recommend as that whole part of the game made absolutely zero sense and could have easily been excised completely from the game.
Good times at work today. The GM quit, the AGM quit, one of the desk clerks may have quit (apparently she left during her shift, but didn't tell anyone that she was quitting), and a couple of the housekeepers may have quit (when they left, they were talking like they might not come back, but didn't actually say one way or the other).Put a sign on your desk that says general manager, start doing general manager things, and next month ask why the paperwork on your promotion hasn't gone through. I like the idea, however you've clearly never been a general manager of a hotel before. I have not myself, but I've worked at enough to know that's a job I wouldn't want to have.
Were you using a sledge hammer and old fashioned star bit because if not that would be faster.... Bosch Hammer Drill with a 3 foot long bit.
New Guy: you should take a picture and have AI visualize it to try to get some ideas! Me: I don't need to, I have an imagination Jose: I think he just insulted you, man.
Also, out here, Land O Lakes is a local brand.
In the Midwest spice is entirely optional and in some circles frowned upon.
Dis-who?Drejk is playing Nioh 3. I can see him.On steam? How do I not have you as a friend there already? What they said!
I would just like to point out that you could sell your crappy little house in Albany and buy 2 McMansions in Minneapolis. I'm not saying they aren't well off, they obviously are, I just want to point that out.
I have an Xbox. Also, I didn't like the second one. They just added Space Marine 2 on Game Pass so it looks like i found a new game, for awhile at least.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla finally broke me. I was cool until I rescued my brother and and you know, rather than help him with his trauma and delusions i go and help my blacksmith find a Welsh wife...?... and then they decided they'd throw a super obnoxious rogue lite section as Niflheim as the god dream side quest. F$~% you, Ubisoft. F@~*. You. Anyway. Time to find a new game.
Meanwhile, in Wisconsin I actually got consecutive days off for the first time since before Thanksgiving. It's cold, like -15 degrees, but that just means I have to wear pants instead of shorts when I go outside.
Dredge is pretty fun! Not too far into it yet.
It is currently -17 degrees (or -39 with the windchill) so unfortunately looks like i won't be wearing shorts today.
Grandpa Impact Hammer. Thankfully I had to go shopping for work yesterday.
Just put what i put in the app for travel notes "F$~~ing Dragon". It's short and can apply to anything.
I worked 55 out of 72 hours.
I do miss having a dishwasher. None here in this apartment, so it's back to washing things by hand, which is admittedly how I did things for the majority of my childhood - as soon as we were tall enough to reach the sink, our parents pawned off all the dishwashing duties on myself and my brother. I've never had a dishwasher until the current apartment. I've lived here 2 and a half years and i still haven't used it.
I'm done with work. I've worked 55 out of 72 hours, shoveling snow.
I have a rock collection.
That is okay, I'd rather deal with the snow than people and politics from the south every day.
Not to be That Guy, but where the f%!! do you live where not driving if it's snowing is even viable. Says the guy doing snow removal and hasn't had a weekend off since the week before Thanksgiving.
Games I plan on actually playing this year are only Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3.
One game I've been playing recently is Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I got it pretty cheap with all the DLCs. It's a pretty fun viking game! Long as f$*#, but fun. It's pretty interesting because right before I started it I'd also started listening to a bunch of history podcasts diving into the Ragnarson invasion of Britain (which the game is loosely based on) so it's pretty fun recognizing the names and places.
I just never had any interest in Breaking Bad. Plenty of people have told me that it's great, but I don't want to watch it. I've seen some clips on youtube that were recommended as "this will make you want to watch", and I still have never felt any desire to watch it. I've also seen a couple of clips of Better Call Saul, but also haven't been drawn to it. I don't blame you! Like I said, it can be hard to watch.
Fun fact! We were going to name Milo, Dexter, but a week before the birth i happened to tell one of my brothers and he said "Oh, like the TV show!" One Google search later and we were looking for a new name. I've still never seen it but I've seen enough clips and memes i don't need to.
