I had an idea for a fallout 4 mod, that might be cringe, but IDGAF. Here it is: Somewhere, this crazed wastelander asks the player to recover the holotapes and equipment for something called, oh idk, "Project Battlecry." The tapes contain power metal that plays at frequencies that give buffs to energy weapons, thrash metal that gives buffs to melee, 2000s metal that gives buffs to defense, etc. They were never intended for civilian use so that's why you never hear these on any radio. Is it just an excuse for me to put my playlist in fallout 4? Yes, what are you going to do about it?

And if I can ever mod custom armors and what not into the game, first order of business is going to be to replace that AWFUL overboss armor. Why does raider power armor look like crap? I know it's made of scrap metal, but you can't put skulls and horns on it? You'll break all the rules of making power armor, but adding the stretched anguished faces of your victims is too much? Please.

seriously. Look at this piece of crap. Does this look even remotely intimidating? Is this the kind of thing you'd expect an evil overloard to wear? NO!

Now THIS. This is much closer. a much more terrifying looking suit. Just ask those poor vault dwellers in the opening cinematic of fallout 2

come to think of it... some day I need to sit down in blender and see what this puppy can do on linux.

This is the end result. 1) glitter sticks to the model, obscuring everything inside. 2) the glue on the bottom ran down the side of the globe. 3) the glitter clumps together.

Where did we go wrong?

1) the varnish
2) letting it stay upside down was not a good idea
3) the glitter is crap.

On a more positive note, Blender works phenominally without all this bloatware, so making a new one in the spring won't be a chore to do.

well this is just great, I have to rebuild my entire mod list from scratch.

Dear Bethesda: Fuck off. For the greater good of the game industry, just disappear forever. Nobody wants your shitty updates, or your jeetcoded slop games anymore. You are not a pillar of the industry, you are a cancerous growth. The longer you continue to exist, the worse things will get.

Fallout was never your IP. It was made by beings greater than you that had integrity.

With the recent revelation that everyone on twitter is a foreign shill, I'd like to take this moment to come clean: I'm not actually a dragon. I am, in fact, a chinese alligator with fake dragon wings hot glued on.

I give up. When even third party mod organizer software tells you "YOU VILL HAVE ZE STEAM VERSION" that's when you know the game has been rigged. and like I've always said: if the game is rigged, flip the table.

I dedicate this whelptune to Soythesda. https://youtu.be/IJ9xhsVV42I?si=wOTWVtIOmg-c1Cpf

GA! Still trying linux gaming, trying to find something to fill the fallout 4 hole. Nuggs suggested I try Civ 2 sometime. Going to put that on my maybe list. I remember playing that on PS1. Then we got in on PC, and I would just constantly cheat.

No coolfest 2000? You don't say...

It's december so that means its time for Crimbo gaming! It's time to clean up after another one of Santa's tantrums in Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage. https://store.steampowered.com/app/265210/Viscera_Cleanup_Detail_Santas_Rampage/

Real question - Do you do specific things around specific times of year, for reasons that only make sense to you?

For me, it's playing Icewind Dale once winter starts. It reminds me of wintertime road trips with my parents in the 2000s. This year, if I can get it to work, I'll play the sequel. Otherwise I'll just play the enhanced edition.

Icewind Dale 2 works!
