The Dutch Ghost

I apologize for the drama I may have caused as that was not my intention.

Great to hear it. Has your vet suggested anything?

Not really other than continue giving her the pills I am giving her now, and monitor her condition.
The weird thing is; she has started eating again.

It's so thin veiled that is trying so hard to be "controversial" just for the purpose of getting views, and hence get ad revenue. It's pathetic and shameful.

Specially when the article does such a piss poor job explaining anything, and skims so much from each game to make its "points".

Now that is a fucking work if I ever seen one. everything Norzan said is correct and that is just some rage bait article with the goal of attracting fallout turbonerds to harass the author on social media. jokes on them, there are no more fallout tubronerds, they all died.

Fallout 1&2 are worst then Fallout 76... This is a joke, right?

While I would like there to be references and some links to FO1, 2, and FNV, the idea is to create a setting with its own factions and organizations. So no NCR or BOS, but instead Lone Star and Followers of the ATLANTIS.

I wanna see Fallout Pirates! like those dudes from Water World.

If possible I would like there to be water themed raiders, and yes I had something like the Smokers in mind. They would be harassing the prospectors from the drowned city.

NV is still respected enough by fans to be accepted as canon.

I feel the Van Buren documents leave a more consistent and interesting world than NV at the end of the day.

Hello all, sorry for not responding
Aurelius, that is also what I sort of have. I like FNV but I feel that VB would have been a better continuation and place to continue from.
To much was cut to fit in FNV.

Civ 6 is pretty great now. Prefer it over 5 but mainly because I'm sick of the art deco UI theme.

Two previous Expeditions games are Conquistador and Vikings. Fun tactical encounters mixed with a good amount of choice&consequence in a really interesting settings (games take a few liberties with the history).

I'm looking forward to Gran Turismo 7

Fallout Tabletop should’ve been West Coast. #changemymind

As if it'd be anything else. The tabletop RPG system is even worse. 2d20 instead of 1d100 and they're going to simplify skills

Why on earth you'd want to lobotomize the RPG features for a tabletop audience with an original system that is perfectly applicable to dice rolls in the first place I don't know

The toilet was blocked. Think it happened because of toilet paper, I was having a case of severe runs during this week.
The plumber did eventually show up and the issue was solved within ten minutes.
All that was needed was a plunger which I of course did not have.

That is kinda something you need on hand to save yourself money in situations like that. It is also why in the country you have a trashcan to throw away those piles of shit paper you were flushing down the drain.

The plumber is part of the services the organization provides that I rent the apartment from so costs are at least not my problem.
But having a clogged up toilet is a real pain.
Heh definitely not going to save up the shit paper here.

My chameleons bugs mostly arrived dead because they were sitting at the post office instead of being delivered.

You know what I mean, pandering to the social political activists, feminists, etc.

O, you turned into one of those people...

Okay I do not want to sound like that either, I want reviews that don't pander to anyone, pro or against okay?
Neutral reviews, games on their own merits.
I honestly don't want to discuss or read about politics.

This is an example of an image I would like to scale up. (needs to rotated a little) https://sta.sh/014d290sa81d

This would be the result even with AI unfortunately.

Ah dammit, I see what you mean. It will probably not do any better with those old book covers I talked about.
I genuine wish the original prints were still available.

It all blends together at some point. I find myself recalling conversations from twenty years ago while playing games that relate to the exchange.

Well it is really annoying as I have been looking for that episode ever since I downloaded the whole show.
BTW did you know there was a high demand for accordion repair technicians during the 90s?

The adds during the show told me so.
Also really weird to see old promos for the Simpsons Season 1 again along with promos for Alf.

Yeah if it is about filling a whole you might want to find something else to put in there.

Indeed, something really feels like the "missing piece" rather than another infatuation.
It were these W&W games I wanted to get but damn are they expensive and I hate getting stuff that just collects dust.

I think this article kind of sums up my feelings on my desire for retro collecting https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-12-crippled-by-nostalgia-the-fraud-of-retro-gaming

I felt the same way around 2012-2017 but seems AAA is actually delivering good games again. I mean RE2 and DMC5 made me nut at least.

I managed to overcome the urge and I just turned to Fallout 2 again, playing it with the restoration mod for the first time.

F2RP FTW!

If you can get Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition in a dirt cheap sale, it's worth getting. Actually, on Steam, it's half price now until June 17. May not be cheap enough. Play with mods if you get it.

Oh if I really want it I can get it on Play Asia for around fifteen euros. That beats any sales on Steam.

Something else I wanted to do was bring Tibbet's facility back in a mod/fan DLC. The player would accidentally be caught by the computerized warden and would have to organize a prison break only to discover that letting the prisoners escape into the wasteland is not such a good idea as all are infected with Limit 115.
The player could work with the warden/ODYSSEUS, the prisoners, or work out a solution with both.

I'd have liked to see how that might have evolved. Tibbet's prison was in Arizona, I believe, so you're having fun times in legion territory. How the interactions between the Legion town heads nearby, and the warden could be interesting. Some people may even *want* to release Limit 115 prisoners to spawn unrest in the East. Fun times.

I really had this wish to bring back some of the locations planned for Van Buren. The player would go to Denver to seek the source of the plague, the Nursery to develop a cure, and BOMB001 when the player learns from the Warden that as part of a containment protocol it activated BOMB001 in order to sterilize the infected region.

Good. Then play a game with me. ;)

Play The Messenger. Love letter to Nes' Ninja Gaiden and SuperMetroid.

You are talking to one of the biggest Metroid fans probably on this forum. I adore almost every game except the two first games (to old), Metroid Hunters, Other M, and Federation Force (was okay, not good, especially in SP mode). Hmm, the Messenger

Yes.

I actually read it more than I post. But that might me because I don't have much time usually. So, whenever I have the time, I prefer to post here on NMA or other forums where I am a member for longer.

Although there seem to be a lot of edgy posters around there compared to here. xD

If you want serious talk then you're better off in NMA, if you want edgy stuff then yes.

Never played them actually. In general I don't like fantasy with the exception of Planescape Torment as it was so alien and not Tolkien esque.
I always preferred robots, aliens, science above wizards, trolls, orcs etc.

I think in regards to fantasy it depends on what you do with it.

It seems the earlier ES games were tolkien and has a really gigantic fix on politics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_II:_Daggerfall

Of course, there are plenty of very unique fantasy settings that do not depend on or use the tropes from European mythology/Tolkien esque fantasy such as Asian ones. Don't think there are many East European ones.

Still I prefer sci fi in general.
