[arctic talon]

Nihilus will be Chaos's playground

intentionally

[storm jungle]

Jay really thinks they are gonna close the Rift

[arctic talon]

GW has treated it that way

[storm jungle]

💀

[arctic talon]

it is Chaos's "dominant" area

its kind of stealing from AoS

[languid meadow]

my goatcrons will...

[arctic talon]

lol

[crystal forum]

idk i hear DnD had different overarching eras

[arctic talon]

but whatever

[storm jungle]

🥀

[opaque coyote]

Nihilus is pretty cool tbh

[storm jungle]

DnD isnt a tabletop game

[crystal forum]

maybe in 30 years 40k will change

[arctic talon]

DnD has multiple different settings

[languid meadow]

still one of my fav endings from BFG

[arctic talon]

yes it is smh

[languid meadow]

it's so stupid

[storm jungle]

tbh its not

it just goes to show what happens if 40k was relaistic

[languid meadow]

I meant

[storm jungle]

and there was no tape holding factions like necrons back

lol

[languid meadow]

stupid hilarious

[storm jungle]

yeah like

people got no idea necrons can steamroll most shit

but dont because uhhhh

[winged jacinth]

as far as tabletop games go D&D is basically a tactical miniatures game in how it handles combat lol

[storm jungle]

"dementia"

[arctic talon]

D&D was literally referred to as a roleplaying wargame

in 1e

[languid meadow]

uncle ruckus racism against their own

[crystal forum]

i wonder what the next "big" event in 40k will be

[opaque coyote]

They're also busy beefing with each other

[arctic talon]

Like TTRPGs fundamentally did not properly exist lol

[crystal forum]

it's going to be another primarch right

[storm jungle]

👎

[storm jungle]

Correct.

[arctic talon]

Maelstrom stuff(technically)

but also yeah Peter

its gona be peter

lol

[crystal forum]

peter griffin

[languid meadow]

Petar

[winged jacinth]

i think 5e being the forgotten realms again might be the first core setting reuse
not that 4e really had one

[crystal forum]

peetah

the fist is here

[storm jungle]

the IMPERIAL Fist

[winged jacinth]

still cant believe they have rogal dorns imperial fist still in the phalanx

[languid meadow]

uhhh I know Vashtorr had a part to play in the new cawl book I wonder if he'll be involved in anyway with petor

[arctic talon]

1e 2e are both greyhawk but switched to forgotten realms near the end of 2e
3e and 5e are forgotten realms
4e is uh Points of Light sorta

[languid meadow]

since he hasn't really done much at all

[opaque coyote]

"magic pain glove"

[arctic talon]

Forgotten realms is kind of their default setting now

[languid meadow]

in a bit

[arctic talon]

lol

[winged jacinth]

4e was basically just the dessarin valley floating in the void lol

[arctic talon]

Eberron is cool as well

Yeah

[crystal forum]

cadia would have been cooler if the phalanx blew up with it

[arctic talon]

ngl

[storm jungle]

He is

[arctic talon]

4e had a lot of good ideas

they're prolly gona have peter and Vashtorr work together

for brand synergy reasons

lol

[storm jungle]

the leaks said GW is gonna connect Vashtor more with IW for commercial and tabletop reasons

[arctic talon]

yeah

[winged jacinth]

they learned all the wrong lessons from 4e its a real shame

[storm jungle]

which makes a lot of sense tbh

[arctic talon]

Zey like Ze boring martials

[storm jungle]

also

SHUT THE FUCK UP

ABOUT D&D

NOW

[languid meadow]

Vashtorr getting another W over Bel'akor

...

[winged jacinth]

dilara after the chat was about helldivers for like 2 hours

[arctic talon]

tbf

[storm jungle]

And?

[arctic talon]

Bel'akor has not had an L in 40k

[crystal forum]

so is fister next or furry primarch

[arctic talon]

since ever

lol

[storm jungle]

Helldivers is cool

because explosions

[arctic talon]

Russ

[storm jungle]

Dorks and Dungeons is not

[arctic talon]

Its Russ

[storm jungle]

because paper

[arctic talon]

because SW have their own dex

[crystal forum]

i expected fister

[arctic talon]

Nah

SW are way more popular

lol

not even a joke

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

SW sell insanely well

[languid meadow]

I mean of course they are

[storm jungle]

they arent an unknown footnote faction like the Imperial Guard

[arctic talon]

Dilara

[storm jungle]

: )

[arctic talon]

why are you like this

sometimes

[winged jacinth]

space wolves get SO MANY unique models

[storm jungle]

Oh my god

[languid meadow]

your choice is
space vikings and wolves
or
yellow autism

[storm jungle]

why do you ask this

IM EVIL

[arctic talon]

idk

[storm jungle]

why is this so hard to get

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/siegfried-gbvs-gbvsr-die-verdrängen-gif-17943989853454082534

[winged jacinth]

do fists even have unique models (besides i assume a few characters)

[arctic talon]

No

just 2 unique characters

they had a unique datasheet in 6e

bcs of a supplement

it was for tactical marines but shittier better

[storm jungle]

Fists = Trash

[crystal forum]

IF are pretty basic anyways

[winged jacinth]

yeah lmao a primarch isnt gonna be their 3rd nonstandard model

[arctic talon]

IF are literally the basic bitch chapter

lol

Tbf Iron warrior have no named character minis

lol

but chaos primarchs are diif rules

I'd assume

[crystal forum]

their second foundings are so much cooler

[opaque coyote]

Don't forget the alternative choice

Dark Extremely Religious Autism (male edition)

Not to be mistaken with Dark Extremely Religious Autism (female edition)

[winged jacinth]

oh i meant like chapter specific models so obliterators would count

[arctic talon]

Crimson Fists, BT, Executioners all mog IF

[languid meadow]

honestly surprised they never got a Honsou model, I bet he'll get one with this upcoming release with how he was tied to Vashtorr recently.

[arctic talon]

Obliterators aren't legion exclusive

[winged jacinth]

wait thats IW

[daring creek]

ai catto

[winged jacinth]

dont the fists have cool techmarine variants

fuck im cooked

the iron HANDS have cool techmarines

[arctic talon]

look all I'm saying is they wear human skin

[languid meadow]

can't wait to make one in slopmarines 2

[arctic talon]

and thats awsome

[winged jacinth]

games workshop 40 years ago i swear to god naming your chapters

[crystal forum]

do you think AI will ever be able to get cat movement right

[storm jungle]

🫡

[storm jungle]

This isnt AI

its real footage

[opaque coyote]

Honestly at this point it's getting harder to find SMs that don't use human body parts

[crystal forum]

with all the cat footage online i have no idea why AI simply cannot get cats to move correctly

[daring creek]

I believe everything dilara says

so its correct

[arctic talon]

not trained on it

enough

[languid meadow]

Sheepsus

[arctic talon]

is my bet

[storm jungle]

🫡

[crystal forum]

there's SO MUCH cat video

[crystal forum]

i think cats just move too weirdly

[winged jacinth]

one day we'll have enough training footage of cats playing banjos

[opaque coyote]

I mean the AI still have trouble with humans and they have way more training on that

[storm jungle]

ive seen like

[arctic talon]

wait no

[storm jungle]

tons of AI vids that capture cats

i think you just consume the wrong slop

[arctic talon]

whatever its on topic

Anyways

KILL GROK

[crystal forum]

i dont watch AI slop dilara so i wouldnt know i guess

[arctic talon]

EXECUTE ELON MUSK

[storm jungle]

you do, you just did

[winged jacinth]

cats doing normal cat stuff is really well trained on

[storm jungle]

bro thinks hes above us

[daring creek]

what the hell

[opaque coyote]

Grok switching between being lobotomized and being based

[winged jacinth]

thats a good chunk of the video

[crystal forum]

you posted it

[opaque coyote]

At this point it's a mercy

[storm jungle]

unofficial Emperor theme

[storm jungle]

[crystal forum]

pretty sick

[arctic talon]

KILL ALL VAULTIES

not the ones at vault city they're allright

[languid meadow]

No

those ones are mega racist

[crystal forum]

did they use a WW2 american helmet

[arctic talon]

can't belive you just called something from the fallout show not awful 💀

[arctic talon]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

I find it funny that the first war between the BoS and NCR.

The BoS literally just melted the NCR's gold storage at the last minute as one last fuck you.

Which is used as an explanation for why caps are used in NV

[crystal forum]

it's because it's 1:1 with the game

[arctic talon]

there's only like

2 NCR NPCs

with a combat helmet in NV

lol

[opaque coyote]

They usually have one with goggles

I think they're canonically MP helmets

[languid meadow]

SPEAKING OF MPS

[crystal forum]

you'd think with amazon money it would look less cost cutting

[languid meadow]

Body cam off since Navarro

[winged jacinth]

why would melting the gold make it not gold

[crystal forum]

i guess if it becomes gas

[arctic talon]

oh yeah fun fact about fallout New vegas

all the NCR/Legion NPCs at the dam have special outfits

to obscure their faces

this is to take up less processing power

[crystal forum]

ye

[languid meadow]

We're getting an NCR trooper outfit in 76

[arctic talon]

because the PS3 and Xbox 360 would fucking explode

like an IED

[crystal forum]

they would still explode

my 360 often did

[winged jacinth]

slick trick

[crystal forum]

it was common for my 360 to just freeze in NV

i'd have to unplug

[winged jacinth]

i never noticed it especially since rangers are always masked and legion usually has a lower face mask at least

[arctic talon]

weirdly enough there's a version for NCR rangers

same with the BoS

[crystal forum]

are they using accurate AR10's

[arctic talon]

when they already have fully enclosed helmets

[daring creek]

Wait how would faces use up extra processing power?

[crystal forum]

would be a nice touch

[winged jacinth]

faces have more polygons than a mask with flat faces

[daring creek]

ah

[arctic talon]

we don't see those troops guns, but the prop department leaks seem to indicate yes

[crystal forum]

ah cool

im glad they put the effort

[winged jacinth]

/ you can hide low poly counts better on uniform curves

[arctic talon]

its kind afunny

[languid meadow]

Oh yeah I really liked this scene in the newest episode

[arctic talon]

how many prop leaks

they've had

[crystal forum]

with so many extras it's inevitable

[winged jacinth]

tbh its marketing

[crystal forum]

these people arent being paid enough to care

[winged jacinth]

fallout fans love seeing the thing

[arctic talon]

genuinely love all the House scenes

[daring creek]

Do I need to know fallout shit to enjoy the series or

[arctic talon]

lol

This one is fucking great

[languid meadow]

great scene

he killed it

[crystal forum]

it's made for non gamers

[arctic talon]

genuinely nailed house

so well lol

[daring creek]

lmao

[crystal forum]

let alone fallout nerds

[winged jacinth]

house always reminded me of disney was that intentional

[arctic talon]

literally only part of the show

I have 0 complaints about

House is excellent

always

[arctic talon]

probably intentional

with the show

[winged jacinth]

hes a real walt type

[crystal forum]

it was intentional

[arctic talon]

the way he dresses in the show is def super disney coded

[winged jacinth]

vegas is his epcot

[crystal forum]

house is modelled after disney

[arctic talon]

in the games we don't see enough variety

but he still feels very walt

[crystal forum]

his old image looked closer

wait let me get it

it was so creepy

[winged jacinth]

his pic on the screen in NV looks a lot like i remember official drawings of walt

[spare osprey]

Mr. House is the only decent boss in the Mojave.

[arctic talon]

but like its hilarious

[arctic talon]

OH MY GOD

[crystal forum]

this is the beta house

[arctic talon]

yeah

thats

walt alright

[winged jacinth]

aaaa

[daring creek]

fugly

[arctic talon]

how House is literally correct about everything he's ranting about when he gets called a lunatic

[languid meadow]

same gun as the first

[arctic talon]

is fucking insane lol

[languid meadow]

I saw I think a soumi?

[arctic talon]

Like he's right about everything

he just sounds crazy

because like

[crystal forum]

also if you're star trek fan, mister house is voiced by the guy who plays odo in deep space 9

[arctic talon]

yknow

[winged jacinth]

and whos laughing when his lasers shoot down the nukes

[arctic talon]

THERE IS A SHADOW GOVERNMENT AND THE WORLD IS GOING TO FUCKING END WITH NUCLEAR WAR IN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW

THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT CONTROLS THE US GOVERNMENT

AND VAULT TEC

AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE US

Thanks House

[crystal forum]

is that what he's like in the show

[storm jungle]

FREDDY MERCURY????

[arctic talon]

only once when he's totally stressed out + trying to convince someone that its all fucked, aside from that he's just like in NV lol

[languid meadow]

His prediction lines up with AI in the Adams Airforce base btw

[crystal forum]

i like house because he's obviously not a good guy but he has valid motivations

[arctic talon]

but its like ingame

when you don't handover the platinum chip

[spare osprey]

He so goofy.
While also being marginally correct throughout the game.

[arctic talon]

House gets angry

[crystal forum]

guy survived a nuclear war i think he has the right to think everybody is stupid

[storm jungle]

Capitalism.

capitalism is only bad if im not the one making money

[winged jacinth]

house is a captain of industry

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/corruption-gif-17615751311869700042

[languid meadow]

Oh yeah and the T-45 power armour feeds my PA headcanon hmm yes

[arctic talon]

ngl

T-45 being a total shitbox is funny

which we know it is

but like them finally showing it that way is funny

[languid meadow]

also Goggins apparently had a panic attack wearing this

[crystal forum]

his problem is he just has so little faith in humanity that he will inevitably create the same system that caused the war to begin with

[winged jacinth]

accurate to military provisioning

[storm jungle]

tbh that would happen with or without him

[winged jacinth]

they've gotta order the same thing like 3 times before they get a good one

[arctic talon]

T-45D in lore is like

[languid meadow]

but yes the T-45 in the show is closer to the 3/NV types of power armour which I like

[arctic talon]

the only actual good T-45 version

lol

[crystal forum]

i think that's a theme in the west coast games yeah. NCR is just recreating the shittiness of the old world

[arctic talon]

the rest of the T-45 line is uh

questionable at best

[arctic talon]

I want T-51 so badly

best armor MK for Fallout power armor

[crystal forum]

how much do you think these PA will sell for on auction after the show ends

[winged jacinth]

why does enclave armor look like aliens

[arctic talon]

Because its meant to intimidate

its also why they name it edgy ass things

[winged jacinth]

guess that makes sense

[crystal forum]

enclave is the bad guy faction basicallyt

[arctic talon]

Black Devil/Hellfire

ect.

[crystal forum]

they have literally 0 redeeming quality

[arctic talon]

the Enclave use terror and violence

[languid meadow]

actually I think we will in some capcity

[arctic talon]

as their primary tools

No point negotiation with Muties

[crystal forum]

they're like if NCR didnt even attempt to be good

[languid meadow]

with ||the NCR power armour having around the same shoulder pads as the T-51||

[arctic talon]

only people the enclave weren't going to slaughter

were Vault dwellers who hadn't become muties

and other people in the enclave

💀

[winged jacinth]

i hope the show makes a reference to a thwarted attempt to launch the nukes to tie up that stupid fucking recording in mothership zeta lol

get rid of it!

[arctic talon]

which is to say they were gona kill almost fucking everyone lol

[opaque coyote]

I actually like the detail of the arms being shorter.

It's because it uses their actual arms instead of the later iterations which have an extension

[languid meadow]

yeah it's like the older depictions of the armour

also the alaskan scene is hilarious but also cool

[crystal forum]

which recording

[winged jacinth]

the idea that none of the prebomb politics and war actually mattered because really aliens pulled the trigger was such a weird bit

[arctic talon]

the one where the aliens are interrogating a officer for nuclear codes

[crystal forum]

also i find it funny how in mothership zeta there's just a huge part of the earth that's still glowing green from radiation

[arctic talon]

lol

[crystal forum]

what a goofy DLC

[languid meadow]

it's pretty close lol

[arctic talon]

ngl

the Chinese they're speaking is

so stilted

it feels like they got told to use english cadance

[crystal forum]

is that in the show?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[opaque coyote]

Those types of flaws just make the T-45 cooler for me

[crystal forum]

i didnt expect china to be in the show

[arctic talon]

theres prewar stuff in the show

they show Alaska

[languid meadow]

Writer prob barely knows Chinese

[arctic talon]

we get to see The Ghoul's time as a marine for a bit

[arctic talon]

nah all the chinese is correct

its just acting direction

the sentence strucutre is off

but its fine

[crystal forum]

i legit thought amazon would try to steer away from showing china too much as the enemy so the show can be shown in china

[languid meadow]

I mean structure wise

[arctic talon]

ah

[languid meadow]

should've added that

[arctic talon]

they got actual chinese speakers for the role

so I'm surprised they didn't just tell them to do "what feels natural"

[languid meadow]

||https://youtu.be/i9WW9FI9VT8?si=Zc80Uti7_rDRqWbo || here Jay if you don't care for spoilers this is part of the scene

[opaque coyote]

Probably because Amazon has like zero presence there

[arctic talon]

anyways Avallone is only pissy about the NCR blowing up because he didn't get to nuke the NCR

lol

[crystal forum]

it looks pretty good

[opaque coyote]

So it doesn't matter to them

Their main marketplace business got kicked out by Alibaba

In 2019

[crystal forum]

gotta love cold war communist uniforms

[vagrant fox]

Degenerates like Avellone belong on a cross

[opaque coyote]

Prime Video is banned in China

[languid meadow]

I love how Tim just loves the show despite some of its flaws

[crystal forum]

i wonder if the DLC's happened in the show

[opaque coyote]

So just

Eh

[crystal forum]

ah

[languid meadow]

also the Chinese troopers dont use the chinese assault rifle

[crystal forum]

what do they use

[languid meadow]

but the ceaser does

[arctic talon]

AK lookalike

er

[vagrant fox]

Sensible to just find enjoyment where you can, it's not his baby anymore

[arctic talon]

wrong reply whoops

its the IRL Chinese AK copy

as far as I can tell

[crystal forum]

meh the chinese assault rifle is close to an AK anyways

[arctic talon]

Yeah lol

[crystal forum]

doesnt matter much

im not an AK guy

[arctic talon]

like I'm 99% sure they just

got actual Type 56's

lol

[crystal forum]

makes sense since those are cheap af

[arctic talon]

Avellone wanting to Nuke the NCR in every fallout game he worked on is fucking hilarious tbh

[arctic talon]

wanted to nuke them in Van Buren then and then NV

lol

[crystal forum]

we sorta nuke them in lonesome road

[arctic talon]

no he wanted Ulysees to nuke the entire NCR

as the start to it

lol

[celest cedar]

love the look

[crystal forum]

but i get why he'd want NCR to be dealt a bad hand for once

[arctic talon]

the player getting to nuke the NCR/Legion/Both was something he didn't want

but hey you get to do it instead

and somehow the NCR and Legion know

[crystal forum]

there's no real depiction of NCR where it deserves to keep existing in the same way

it's just not a good place

[celest cedar]

House having a meltdown over being called lunatic is so funny

[arctic talon]

Tbf

I don't blame him

when he's right about literally everything he yaps about lol

He's absolutely an egotistical prick

but justified crashout lol

[celest cedar]

then 200 years later he wouldve had the same crashout if you refuse to give him the chip

[arctic talon]

tbh his crashout over the chip is way more aggresive lol

[crystal forum]

i wonder if he's dead in the show

[arctic talon]

then his crashout over being called a lunatic

the diorama's at the end(which are non canon) show a dead body in the lucky 38 in the pod

so who the fuck knows

[spare osprey]

Silly faux-cowboy calls you silly when you're wearing a so-not-silly hat.
(This is serious. Not silly.)

[vagrant fox]

Don't they have them/one or two in the legion camp?

[languid meadow]

also olivers dead body

[arctic talon]

yeah

[languid meadow]

yeah

[crystal forum]

oliver is in the show?

[arctic talon]

the ending dioramas being non canon is

weird

[languid meadow]

which is weird they didn't use that prop

[vagrant fox]

Huh, yeah that's weird

[arctic talon]

his dead body is

but its not canon

[crystal forum]

lmao

wdym

[arctic talon]

they have a cute little diorama

in every end of episode thing

[celest cedar]

the last shot we get of House so far is him putting the device he used to upload his brain to the computer presumably

[opaque coyote]

He's just salty that he didn't get to nuke shady sands.

So that's why he hates the show

[arctic talon]

they had a diorama of the NCR and Legion murdering eachother for that one

and it had a dead Oliver

[crystal forum]

is the season over

[opaque coyote]

"BETHESDA NUKED THE NCR BEFORE I COULD."

[arctic talon]

stabbed by someone

nah

not over yet

[crystal forum]

well NCR is finally depicted so i might actually watch now

[arctic talon]

I'd wait

[crystal forum]

i'll still wait for last season episode

[arctic talon]

we've only got a bit so far

[crystal forum]

in case something horrible happens

[arctic talon]

but yeah he's dead in the end of episode diorama lmao

or at least its probably him

not sure who else it could be LOL

[languid meadow]

He's the only one with that hat so it has to be him

Also the old NCR flag is there

[arctic talon]

its so weird that they made all these dioramas

but they're not canon lol

like whats up with that lol

[languid meadow]

There's the one in flagstaff I think for EP3

[crystal forum]

maybe they were made before the story was fully written

[arctic talon]

Maybe

[celest cedar]

whats going on with Avellone

[arctic talon]

Avellone is pissy about everything randomly

lol

and says that Bethesda wants to keep the wasteland a wasteland forever

yknow

ignoring the fact he wanted to do the same thing

in Van Buren

and NV

[arctic talon]

also he's kind of a fucking weirdo

but thats unrelated

[vagrant fox]

Avellone is just an ass

Some good ideas but still

[languid meadow]

Yeah this is flagstaff I think

[arctic talon]

ngl I wonder how bad the Legion's infighting is

back in Arizona lol

[languid meadow]

North is prob gone and their foot hold in grand canyon doesn't exist

uhh the map in A51 has some hints

[crystal forum]

josh sawyer is the only guy involved with the writting i care about

for NV

[arctic talon]

also they made freeside less of a shithole

[arctic talon]

in the show

[crystal forum]

lol thats kinda funny isnt it

[storm jungle]

Show ruined the entire IP btw

just letting you know

[arctic talon]

relevant

[crystal forum]

they made the less popular side of NV look better and the most iconic one look worse

[languid meadow]

I saw the silver rush in the background kind of dilapidated and I was happy

pricks

oh yes and finally seeing laser weapons be used in live action was cool

[crystal forum]

why is tim cain lumped in with todd howard

[arctic talon]

because some people hate him for 0 reason

[crystal forum]

tim cain gets like none of the hate todd howard gets

tf do you mean

[languid meadow]

He likes a lot of the new stuff fallout does

[crystal forum]

the entire community loves the guy

[celest cedar]

FNV if it cooked for 2-3 more years

[languid meadow]

so some fans hate him

[arctic talon]

THEY PUT THE BEAR AND THE BULL IN WEST VIRGINIA

[crystal forum]

he's just not focused on shitting on it

[languid meadow]

oh yeah also the new laser pistol design

which is a mix of the Fo4/76 and older ones

[crystal forum]

also like todd howard deserves some of the hate

[crystal forum]

not my boy tim

guy who hasnt been involved in fallout for decades

[arctic talon]

its kind of funny how many random gun designs they've done

for the show

[languid meadow]

He's guilty by association to these people

yeah I like it

mixing of old and new, bringing back old, and making new

[crystal forum]

im happy with original designs

i hate if the setting stays like 4 forever

[languid meadow]

I love how the new laser pistol looks

I hated how it looked in 4/76

[arctic talon]

yeah

[crystal forum]

im disappointed that they decided to keep the assault rifle 1:1

[languid meadow]

the 4 one?

[arctic talon]

its not 1 to 1

[lament shoal]

Looks fine to me

[arctic talon]

and its not the only AR

[languid meadow]

they just made it what iwas supposed to be in the game

[arctic talon]

funnily enough

[crystal forum]

i saw pics of it

[arctic talon]

yeah its only used by power armored stuff

It looks a lot better in the show imo

and I hate the things design lol

[languid meadow]

the Fo4 AR was supposed to be an LMG they just turned it into one for the game because they cut the chinese assault rifle

[crystal forum]

they just changed it slightly

[lament shoal]

I like the big ass lewis gun style assault rifle, fuck anyone who disagrees with me

[languid meadow]

I love it

[crystal forum]

you guys call it a lewis gun when it's clearly water cooled

[lament shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-handshake-muscle-strong-man-gif-5783927

[languid meadow]

https://youtu.be/rGLGWeOtO3E?si=ec33Y8tj5rjYiPZ0 also yes I love how energy weapons are in the show

[crystal forum]

it has a fucking tube

[arctic talon]

Maximus deadass has idiot savant

lol

[crystal forum]

it looks like a WW1 water fed machine gun why call it a lewis

[opaque coyote]

Personally it still looks fucking stupid

But slightly less so

[celest cedar]

lewis gun aaah

[opaque coyote]

I personally prefer if they just used the god damned minigun

[celest cedar]

it looks stupid

[opaque coyote]

Mini guns are cool

Rotary Guns are cool looking in general

Fuck give them the shoulder mounted machine gun from Lonesome Road

That'll make an impression for sure

[vagrant fox]

I'd have liked to see the fo3 minigun with the backpack

[languid meadow]

Also the grand canyon elder has the 10mm from the first 3D games

[crystal forum]

stop calling it a lewis gun!!!

[languid meadow]

like how we saw the classic one in S1

[opaque coyote]

Power armor + Minigun is fucking cool

[lament shoal]

YOU LOOK STUPID

[storm jungle]

Dude that Lewis gun looks great

[lament shoal]

:(

[opaque coyote]

There's a reason why it's used so often in promotional material

A giant power armored dude wielding a gigantic fucking Minigun is cool

[crystal forum]

PA looks way better with a minigun finally somebody says it

[celest cedar]

I mean you cant tell me with a straight face that the AR is not a lewis gun despite the suspiciously lewis gun like tube shape 💀

[lament shoal]

Its clearly inspired by the lewis, so I'm calling it a lewis

[celest cedar]

next thing you know the chinese assault rifle isnt an AK..

[arctic talon]

Power armor looks best with a minigun correct

lol

[opaque coyote]

I mean for fucks sake

The first introduction to the enclave?

A dude in X-01 committing an atrocity using a minigun

[languid meadow]

"Dude, it's a real fucking ice box!"

[lament shoal]

And that cutscene isn't even canon apparently

[opaque coyote]

Now that's some good shit

Wish the backpack was back

[crystal forum]

look at how the barrel is lower on it, it looks way more like the mg08 barrel

[lament shoal]

But they totally would do that lol

[crystal forum]

also the assault rifle is water cooled

there's literally a tube or pipe on it

[arctic talon]

so funny how they ignore the fucking alien lol

[celest cedar]

aint the Lewis also a watercooled gun

[vagrant fox]

PA definitely needs big chonky guns, it's the biggest reason I don't think the AR is entirely off the mark

[opaque coyote]

I thought it was?

And they just killed the group that waved at them so that they could scare the rest into compliance

[crystal forum]

WATER

[opaque coyote]

Like kill a couple to get the rest to follow you

[languid meadow]

that's not X0-1 btw that's APA which is different

[opaque coyote]

Sure the enclave didn't need to do rhat

[languid meadow]

X0-1 is pre war

APA is post war

[arctic talon]

X-01 is shittier then APA yeah

[crystal forum]

the alien is a recreation of the fallout 3 aliens too

[opaque coyote]

I know, but it's based so much on the X-01 that they might as well be the same thing

I think the X-01's are just prototypes for the APA

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/enclave-fallout2-gif-23731058

[crystal forum]

it should just look less dieselpunk and more atompunk

[opaque coyote]

And the APA is X-01 perfected

[languid meadow]

also I love how energy weapons burn holes in metal now

instead of scorching them

[lament shoal]

Some peeps in the fallout server im in were talking about how it wasn't and the devs at the time just needed a cool intro for the enclave

[arctic talon]

it is non canon yeah

Which is fucking hilarious

they needed the enclave to aura farm

[languid meadow]

I can't take it seriously with how he holds the minigun

ngl

[opaque coyote]

Ah.

Well it's still a lasting first impression

[vagrant fox]

I more or less agree, I saw fanart of a souped up BAR for PA and I'd have preferred it in that direction

[lament shoal]

The enclave would 100% do that shit tho lol

[opaque coyote]

Most definitely

[lament shoal]

Gunning down innocent vault dwellers just because

[arctic talon]

maybe next game lol

[opaque coyote]

Kill a couple to ensure compliance to the rest

[arctic talon]

Bethesda won't chicken out of making Power armor only guns

[opaque coyote]

The Deldar do something similar brw

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think the funniest gun is the fucking

Fucked up Desert Eagle

[languid meadow]

they took a lot of the criticism to heart when making 76 PA

[vagrant fox]

In a small 40 years

[languid meadow]

like with fusions

they'll prob change even more

[opaque coyote]

Like legit they literally just added a fucking hand guard to a Deagle

And added some scifi shit

It's funny

[lament shoal]

I recently did the 76 mission where you gotta explore the abandoned enclave bio research lab with the AI that's trying to kill you the whole time. Its been a while since a video game mission has made me feel creeped out that way

[opaque coyote]

Still kinda ugly looking though

[languid meadow]

Also you can hear a gatling laser in the background near the end of the clip

which is cool

[opaque coyote]

I honestly would've preferred if it was actually a desert eagle

Instead of whatever the fuck they did to it

[crystal forum]

btw this isnt much important but i like how laser guns in fallout always acted like actual lasers

instant beams

not like 40k

or star wars

[opaque coyote]

True.

The only exception is recoil but that's nerd shit. And it's not like Fallout is realistic

Radiation doesn't turn you into a ghoul

[arctic talon]

star wars's laser guns aren't even called lasers iirc

lol

[opaque coyote]

...well it does but you don't get the benefits

[opaque coyote]

They're basically plasma tbf

[languid meadow]

they're plasma technically

[arctic talon]

radiation in fallout is literally magic

lol

just treat it like a fucking soft magic system

[lament shoal]

What's the difference?

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I fucking wish they did more with the radiation guns

[crystal forum]

the beams are instant

there's no travel time

[opaque coyote]

They're cool but the problem is how ineffective they are.

Because they're only good against people

[arctic talon]

fallout lasers are always an instant beam
lasers in 40k are beams that have travel time and a "bolt" in some depictions

lol

[crystal forum]

they feel like actual lasers

[opaque coyote]

I think it varies heavily

[languid meadow]

they're kind of bolty in the show

[opaque coyote]

But 40k generally doesn't have a complete laser in all depictions

[lament shoal]

Too bad they're kinda ass in the game

Most creatures being immune to rad damage except humans

[opaque coyote]

I think the Lasguns in Space Marine 1 aren't bolt

[languid meadow]

yum

[opaque coyote]

More like a complete laser beam

[lament shoal]

Ah gotcha

[opaque coyote]

But then again SM1 isn't exactly accurate with the gun lore

Melta moment

[languid meadow]

I like how RT did it

having both versions

[lament shoal]

No plasma weapon reload anim in sm2

[celest cedar]

aaah tale as old as time
hitscan vs projectile weapons

[opaque coyote]

I like to think that red is just the standard setting while the yellow color is like

High power

Since yellow means it's hotter

[arctic talon]

Plasma weapons not exploding or veneting hot plasma on you

inSM2

is so fucking lame

[crystal forum]

yellow lasers are pretty uncommon idk why

[arctic talon]

They're llike

randomly in some 40k art

[opaque coyote]

Because red looks cooler ig

[crystal forum]

i meant irl

[arctic talon]

and then also red as well

oh

[opaque coyote]

Oh

[arctic talon]

probably expensive?

I'd assume the gas to run them is $$$

compared to others

[languid meadow]

oh yeah camp golf looked great

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it's because they're too expensive

Green and red are cheaper

[lament shoal]

I gotta pick up my latest rt playthrough again, it was fun

[crystal forum]

red is on the lower end of the visible spectrum so any other color is higher energy per photon or however the term is i forgot

[lament shoal]

Was running a crime lord character with dual wielding stub revolvers

[opaque coyote]

Also ngl by pure artistic opinion

I like red lasers better

So...

Yeah

Red is cool

Red = evil

Imperium evil

It's also why Volkite weapons are like

My favorite conceptually

[languid meadow]

yeah sure whatever

[lament shoal]

They showed green las bolts in one of the latest animated shorts

[opaque coyote]

The Frontier moment

[celest cedar]

monsterfuckers be like

[crystal forum]

is it just me who doesnt want to fuck things in my childhood games

[lament shoal]

Jay posted this

[opaque coyote]

That's because there's a lack of twinks and hot men there

Jk

[languid meadow]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Fotv/comments/1qfeunc/walton_who_is_that_chicken_lover_its_this_fuck/

[crystal forum]

they could make entire movies about the DLC's

[lament shoal]

Paladin Danse:

[crystal forum]

i hope they do

also before ending fallout topic

did you guys see the game show

it will be so bad

mister beast games type shit

[lament shoal]

Ngl a far harbor movie or show would go hard

Loved that dlc

[languid meadow]

besides DIMAs minecraft mind game

it's pretty good

[crystal forum]

https://youtu.be/dHJ0qg--7pE

[lament shoal]

Yeah that was the only painful part lol

[celest cedar]

Snake oil salesman aka Fisto lover

[lament shoal]

The fog is coming

[languid meadow]

I really like how they didn't change its design

[arctic talon]

There have been 6 games made about why this is a bad idea

[opaque coyote]

DiMA's true mental defenses was tedious and forced gameplay

[crystal forum]

guys i know this show will be memory holed the moment it releases but please make fun of it with me

[opaque coyote]

All along

[languid meadow]

I'm glad both protectron designs exist in the world instead of just 4s

[crystal forum]

they made a fucking squid games reality show. there is no limit

the form asks you to describe what your SPECIAL attributes are

like on 1 to 10 how intelligent are you

or strong, endurance, luck

the show says it will test all the SPECIAL perks

[lament shoal]

Yeah thats gonna be biased as hell

[crystal forum]

so how tf will they test luck

just play slots

[lament shoal]

GAMBLING

[languid meadow]

Also I think it's eating a gecko

[crystal forum]

oh yeah ofc asking people to describe how INTELLIGENT they are will bring great well rounded people

im guessing if you fill out the form as narciscist as possible you will be picked

because these shows love drama

they want assholes

[lament shoal]

Reality shows like this typically tend to be cringe so I'll skip watching it

[crystal forum]

i'd fill it out but it asks for like all your private info and i'm 100% sure they will sell that

[vagrant fox]

I didn't realise the 'freaky' guy was the biggest yellowbellied coward of everyone here

[crystal forum]

im not giving my adress unless im chosen ffs

why even

[lament shoal]

They give you a higher intelligence stat if you can write down your ssn correctly by memory

[crystal forum]

also i wanna see the people with dump stats

i bet every time they interview a contestant it will flash the SPECIAL on screen

and you just see a guy with 1 in everything except luck and agility

or maybe 1 in endurance is a cancer patient

[lament shoal]

LMAO

1 strength and its Ricky Berwick

[crystal forum]

this will be so bad but i will probably watch it high

the show will prob only pick people with passing knowledge of the series

but i want to see a guy say please assume the position or smth

[vagrant fox]

They'll just have to watch some Oxhorn vids it'll be fine

[crystal forum]

smh tks mantis way better

i love how like half of the early wave fallout NV revival youtubers turned out to be genuinely insane people

like that guy who unironically supports the legion

[languid meadow]

uhhhh

the fucking

elijah guy

[crystal forum]

him too

but there's another who straight up thought legion are correct

[languid meadow]

no I was saying he was the legion supportor unless there's another

oh

[lament shoal]

Jay how long do you think you could last in a room with fisto

[crystal forum]

well i'll be honest

fisto hasnt been maintained in a long time

and he is quite rusty

[vagrant fox]

Mr 'freaky' once again backs down

[lament shoal]

LMAO

[crystal forum]

there is not a single pleasurable looking part of this robot

and going by his name i assume he uses his claws

[arctic talon]

Fisto showing up in the TV show was not on my list lol

[arctic talon]

It can kind of turn into a hand, not really

[celest cedar]

wheres your sense of adventure

[crystal forum]

even indiana jones doesnt like snakes

[languid meadow]

I love how the old design looks in live action

[crystal forum]

my sense of adventure has limits

[lament shoal]

And you called me basic

For shame

[languid meadow]

you know those old boomer fingers where they're bloated and shit

he has those

[crystal forum]

they didnt do an animatronic

[languid meadow]

He doesn't move in any scene

[crystal forum]

oh

[languid meadow]

he has the classic voice and sounds tho

[crystal forum]

i thought it was a suit but i guess not

[languid meadow]

like the humming

[crystal forum]

will they show a robobrain

[lament shoal]

They already did I think

[crystal forum]

those things a freaky

on purpose

[lament shoal]

You get to fuck one in fo4 lol

[celest cedar]

Please assume the position.

[crystal forum]

in NV they're all like either monkey brains or ex prisoners

[languid meadow]

pretty sure the only thing that doesn't have a physical prop is the yao guai in S1

everything else has a physical puppet/animatronic

like the deathclaw is puppeted by 3 people

[lament shoal]

Even the deathclaw?

[languid meadow]

yea

[crystal forum]

damn

thats effort

[lament shoal]

Wow lol

[crystal forum]

im honestly not a fan of deathclaws

i dont hate them either

im just indifferent to them

[celest cedar]

Courier either didnt fully cleared out Quarry Junction, or that a new breed of Deathclaws nested there and then they somehow reached Vegas

[vagrant fox]

I quite like how they look in 4 and the show, be careful who you call ugly in middle school or however the meme goes

[languid meadow]

In episode 5 it's said ||the deathclaws are from quarry junction drawn there from the fighting between the NCR and Legion||

[crystal forum]

the cannonical courier did NO side quests

man was focused

[celest cedar]

its always a joy seeing FNV fans seething in every little minor detail that these fuckers get angry about

[languid meadow]

"It's not canon because I DID this"

nerd

[crystal forum]

ive just accepted that fan made stuff will always be what i prefer so all this official stuff is a fun alternate universe that i dont have to care about

[languid meadow]

Also again they mixed the old design with the new

sharper longer horns/lankier

[crystal forum]

fallout is mainstream again and the next fallout will be god awful garanteed so im not setting myself up for disappointment

[lament shoal]

For me this is canon:

[crystal forum]

there's no way current bethesda will make a good fallout game

[languid meadow]

tbf I don't even think current bethesda will be making the next fallout game

considering how long it'll take

[crystal forum]

would be best for everybody if they dont

but they prob will

because it's a flagship series

[vagrant fox]

Maybe they'll somehow get rid of Pagliarulo and it'll somehow have decent writing

[languid meadow]

not even finished with TES6

I meant like the current people there

I'm still on the cope train for the fallout 3 and new vegas remasters

since I know the fallout 3 one was leaked by the guy who leaked the obliv one

[crystal forum]

i dont think it's a lack of talent that made games like starfield trash

[celest cedar]

I believe it

[crystal forum]

people are huffing so much copium

did people forget how lame the 4 remaster was

or whatever it was

they'll either add in more shaders to the games and call it a day or remake the entire game in a new engine

which one is more likely

[celest cedar]

I mean the oblivion remaster is that

kinda

they included new voice acting

[languid meadow]

added new features as well

like some modern ones from skyrim and shit

also removed a bunch of the dogshit from the OG

[crystal forum]

i guess they could add shit like grenade throwing hotkey

[languid meadow]

I think they'll modernize a lot of it

like ADS

nades

[crystal forum]

im kinda biased since i straight up dont understand remasters

[languid meadow]

I think the obliv remaster is like

one of the best remasters? it's not a remake

just old fixed and new coat of paint

gears ultimate edition is also up there

[crystal forum]

i think the weirdest remasters i've played are the metro series

you straight up cannot obtain the original 2033 and last light

like why try to erase originals like that

[languid meadow]

Yakuza just did that as well

it's shit when they try that

[crystal forum]

it's just weird

[celest cedar]

Oldrim moment

[crystal forum]

metro sometimes even brings back the originals for FREE

but like once every 4 years

for like one day]

and if you miss it you're fucked

i got 2033 but i really want the original last light

i genuinely think the original 2033 is better than redux

[languid meadow]

oh yeah sprinting will also prob be added to the remasters if they're real

since they did it for obliv

[crystal forum]

i hope they add a directional flashlight

that always bugged me with 3 and NV

the nearly useless pip boy light

[languid meadow]

||https://www.rxddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1qgksnl/like_i_saidirksome/|| they're making tiktok edits of the Enclave again

[crystal forum]

please do assume every enclave fan is a fascist

[languid meadow]

It's like black templar fans

not all black templar fans

but always a black templar fan

[crystal forum]

enclave is straight worse since it attracts those annoying type of americans even more

[languid meadow]

also I'm trying to think of the voice clip of UpIsNotJump is being used here

I don't remember it

[raven stone]

I mean it is an entire story set in America so…

[vagrant fox]

I should do an enclave run in OWB you're right

[languid meadow]

ERB....

go my S'lanter

[crystal forum]

btw 1898

[languid meadow]

I do like how you can take reformist enclave but you're still the american gov so you're still assholish

[crystal forum]

[languid meadow]

Holy shit

the deep state aah

[crystal forum]

i just had to look it up because these numbers always have some fucking dog whistle

[languid meadow]

the beautiful number of 8 and 9 always up to some bullshit I hate it

[raven stone]

You know what the funny thing with me is?
Even if you told me any given one secret cabal group is holding all the power, I genuinely could not find it in myself to hate them.
I simply don’t have the energy or time or worry about things far beyond my immediate life lol.

[vagrant fox]

If I'd do ERB I'd probably pick purist next time
Gotta evilmax

[crystal forum]

there is a cabal of people holding all power it's called rich people

it's not even secret

[languid meadow]

Why can't our shadow cabals be cool

instead we're ruled by dorks

[crystal forum]

they're not even cool yeah they're fucking morons

[raven stone]

Imagine if our world is genuinely part of the Imperium without us knowing and the Alpha Legion is running the Illuminati -

dead

Vanilla MacArthur is so funny to me since you have
Normal evil Enclave
"Reformist" Enclave
Super fucking evil Enclave

Ok I finished The Fellowship of The Ring. Still mogs most Black Library novels after all this time 💯 💯

[crystal forum]

thats like comparing a fillet mignon to a mcdonalds hamburger

[vagrant fox]

Yes

[languid meadow]

I know ECR has a Colonel Autumn path with a "reformist" path so it's him using project purity and bettering the wasteland just so he can rule it lol

[vagrant fox]

Oh I should give ECR a try

[languid meadow]

I'd wait

it's getting updated very soon

same with Rust Belt

[crystal forum]

i wonder how far old world blues has gotten

[surreal nest]

besides me

[vagrant fox]

Yeah later this month or next right?

[languid meadow]

to Manitoba/Oklahoma

[crystal forum]

damn nearly halfway through the US

east coast maybe in a decade

[surreal nest]

i love a good outrageously evil faction

[languid meadow]

Next major update is midwest

[crystal forum]

i hate it in the wrong setting

[surreal nest]

fallout in mexico would be fire

[languid meadow]

I think

[surreal nest]

40k just makes them seem admirable

but i like stormtroopas

grimslop can remain in the grimslop setting
