Much appreciated! I'll be sure to give this method a shot.

Forgive me for the necro, but I was just wondering-- what methods do you use to accurately imitate the late-nineties "crustiness" in these Talking Heads? I can obviously tell some of these are DAZ Studio, but I'm not sure how you get that... "rounded" look to the lighting, I don't even know how...

It also completely destroyed the lore of Twin Peaks, but in a good way and I don't say that ironically. Season 3 was an analytical deconstruction of what Twin Peaks meant and they put in the time and effort to do it. This show destroyed all Fallout's lore during its runtime too, but, well? What...

This is a very old post but I was literally awestruck by the stupidity in this comment. You know literally nothing about history if you think this is even faintly a zinger, and especially if you think the Roman empire fell in some great cataclysm.

And yet characters like Victor are still seen as people by most. You have outliers like Trudy whom still regards Victor as a weird, shifty thing, but everyone else seems to like him. The lines for personhood aren't so definite in Fallout.

I think FO76 is basically shit, but I don't think it's complete shit because the lesser developers and artists on the team clearly tried to make some new designs. Stuff like the sloths, ticks, cryptids, new floaters, and scorchbeasts are all... kinda interesting? Not tremendously interesting...

I think it's fucking preposterous that they bring up the question of whether Synths can be regarded as human when far, far more rudimentary robots have been considered sapient beings with rights in the setting for fucking ever. The debate over whether or not Ghouls/Super Mutants can be accepted...

I think if you love it on its own, as its own game, for what it presents then yes, you can call yourself a Fallout fan. I don't think it actually presents anything new or interesting as a game but I can see some people liking it on that merit. If you think it's the best (or even a good game)...

Which kinda sounds like how Avellone's gone on Twitter, doesn't it? And how he sounds in a few tracts of the Bible, venerated as it is. He brings up good info and stuff but there's a few passages where, on re-reads, I think "Dude just shut the fuck up".

They still have jaw bones is the thing -- and in FO4 they have brow and eyeball bones iirc, so they kinda got no excuse. With the art budgets modern games have they really don't have any excuse to keep going with the weird Oblivion-style race system for Ghouls, especially when Super Mutants get...

100%. I also think Avellone is really overblown as a whole-book writer -- he isn't good at it, flat out. A lot of his worldbuilding writing and intersectional character writing is top-notch. What he did for Prey was shit-hot and the similar stuff he did for NV was golden, but the man has a...

She is sorta Jane without the abuse plotline and like, weakness around abusers, yeah-- though that's not to denigrate Cass's writing or character, she just has a lot of resemblance.

I think that Fallout would work well as a series of vignettes alá Heavy Metal. Pepe Moreno's Bunker 6A From Heavy Metal always reminded me a lot of Fallout.

Even historically during eras when public hangings and even gibbetting were a thing, grave robbing (oft termed resurrectionism) was seen as an unspeakable, ghastly thing -- especially when it served the dissection trade. People do not like the dead to be fucked about with, literally or figuratively.

I really wish that ghouls looked more like Set in subsequent instalments. Not only does he look truly mangled and horrific, he also looks fucking cool. I like that he's truly skeletal -- you can see his fucking shoulder bones -- and it looks like the bolted-on combat gear isn't just for looks...

The Legion have also only relatively recently come into a full war with the NCR on several fronts; previously they were beating the shit out of tribal gangs and disconnected frontier groups which had no such thing as standardized equipment, formations, suppy lines, logistics etc. It's why the...

I think calling Sawyer a Marxist is a bit extreme. He's definitely in favor of more socialized policies but I doubt he's a whole-ass Marxist.

Fallout 2 is drastically weaker in terms of atmosphere and moment-to-moment writing. There might be higher highs but there's sure as shooting drastically lower lows with that game. Individual dialogue moments are, in many places, first-draft dreck if they're not making pretty pisspoor jokes. I...

Whenever I set my resolution to 1920x1080 the game crashes with a generic "memory could not be read" error on launch. Any smaller resolution works. It will play the splash screen then immediately shit itself.

Thank you very much.
