Well... The Gulper is PROBABLY one. Eugh....

Also, I like the little touches they put in to shout out the games. Big MT appearing, the hacking screen. I almost liked Minutemen Radio showing up, and liked the subtle nod about it being unpopular. (Though I think that was more BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MORE SETTLEMENTS MARKED ON MY MAP!)

No glitches, either. And Prime Video didn't crash once the entire time I was watching it.

2/10. Terrible adaptation.

lmao, fair. Miracle of Sound did a song about playing New Vegas and it ends with the fucking game crashing. Should have found a way to work that in.

It should be. Takes like two seconds to change it to twitter and leave a properly embedded link.

Maybe Fandom should fix x links not working properly.

How's the show for someone who has never played a single Fallout game?

As someone who enjoys the games, you don't need to play them to enjoy the show. They show things so you have the right reaction to other events. Though if you've never played the games your reaction might be "uhhh" versus "oh fuck, no..."

I havent finished the show yet. I am saddened by this news

Also the above post. Omfg I was hoping to see them

Man, I'm still a little sick from the Gulper.

Honestly, love the little easter eggs, like the dead super mutant. And the fact that every time they show Maximus in Iron Man cam, they used the FO4 Power Armor Hud.

Oh what's this odd taste in my drink, starting not to care what anybody thinks, come on, let's get out of this place

Anyway, no, I've never really done for the Draco in Leather Pants trope personally. Or any similar ones.

Maybe board owners should understand that content creators (aka posters) decide what gets posted, and they shouldnt go surprised_pikachu themselves if limitations lead to people leaving or a shutdown.

Fandom is a poster child for a greedy corp that only cares about ad revenue. They don't see us as "content creators", and for the record, if you aren't actively making guides, you aren't one. They see us as the product, not the people consuming the product. What they're selling is us viewing ads. We're the product and ad agencies are the buyers.

And if you want to discuss politics, find a Reddit sub. Well, most of CE's more prolific political trolls are probably banned because even Reddit has tighter standards than GameFAQs.

Karovorak posted...

if everyone would move there.

Why? So people can refuse to comprehend Fandom doesn't want political discussion and ruin those boards too?

You overpaid for Skyrim. And I'm tired of pretending all the re-releases at full price from Bethesda were okay.

It's mostly CE because CE is full of people who insist on pushing limits.

To wit: Fandom has all the political boards shut down. To a reasonable person, this would appear that Fandom does not want political debate. CE promptly complained about it for a week then proceeded to ignore the obvious, and frankly got worse about it. And now Fandom has said "Since CE won't get the message, CE is now private."

CE is naturally full of people who went "Surprised_Pikachu.jpg"

The really impressive part to me is there are people who were around when LUE got shuttered for being a magnet for toxicity and bad publicity, or at least know about it happening, and are still surprised it happened to CE. And that happened well before Fandom.

TC obviously never worked retail a day in his life.

I would rather take classes to professionally film drying paint than work another day in retail. I would rather get punched in the sack by Mike Tyson every day for a year than continue working retail. I would rather be hand wash the Eiffel Tower naked than continue working retail.

I've read a webtoon with almost this exact premise, except it's actually considered a curse because you'll suffer when you die again if you do unto others more than they did unto you.

So, now she's siding with Trump?

Granted, Trump was all for a bam before Biden supported it.

008Zulu posted...

Maybe this will boost support for trains.

Not really. There are a lot of issues with Amtrak in the US that prevent it from being a reasonable alternative to regional airlines. Similar costs to flying is one. If you pay for a roomette you'll at least get slightly more space, but it's not significantly cheaper. If you account for travel time you could argue it costs more in fact. Second, Amtrak leases trackage rights for most of the rails they run on. This is an issue because UP, CSX, NS, and BNSF (I think that's all of the Class 1s in the US anyway), aren't exactly keen to let Amtrak go ahead of them. Which shouldn't be an issue because they're required to give Amtrak priority by either law or regulation, except not only does no one follow this regulation (with impunity), the length of freight trains in many instances actually exceeds the length of passing sidings, so if they stopped, the next train couldn't get through in either direction. So they physically cannot follow the regulation. Which leaves two solutions, neither of which are really feasible. First, we can build Amtrak owned trackage to avoid the issue entirely. Which won't happen because it would be tax payer funded, and it's incredibly unlikely you could sell that to the American taxpayer that tends to favor airplanes overall anyway, and that's before the airline lobby gets involved. Option two, actually enforce regulations that say Amtrak always has priority and freight must wait for it to pass, which would require making a regulation that says trains can't be longer than the shortest passing siding on their route. Alternatively you could make the Class 1 railroads make them longer, but I'd assume that regulation would naturally cause that. This won't happen because of the railroad lobby. A lot of bulk material we depend on moves by rail, so they've got more power than most people would give credit for.

So, I actually looked it up. As far as companies that make a wide-body jet airliner, I found 4.
Boeing and Airbus, and if you life in the US that's all you'll likely see.
Ilyushin, which is Russian and the Il-96 is only in low rate production, and is only operated by one company not owned by the Russian Government. Cubana, of... Oh fucking guess.
And Comac. Which is the brand name for a Chinese state corporation. They're trying to get certified by European agencies.

It doesn't really improve if you go to narrow body, it just adds Tupolev. Also Russian.

There aren't really a lot of airplane manufacturers.

Solid_Sonic posted...

I actually tried to find rumors about companies eliminating people they find problematic but in the very least they've done a good job of covering up their deeds if the rumors do exist...

I mean, looking at the circumstances, it's reasonable to be suspicious. Especially when Boeing is not only the only US manufacturer of airplanes in that class (and in the West generally they're part of a duopoly with Airbus), but they're a huge American defense contractor. I almost wonder if they did have him assassinated, if the assassin was late though. Given "former Boeing safety inspector takes own life amid Boeing safety flaws debacle" is a lot more innocuous of a headline than "Boeing Whistleblower found dead in car in apparent suicide after testifying", especially when your subheading is going to say "he was due to testify a second time"

Granted, this is one of the few times WWE being bad at consistently having a canon timeline of events works out to a positive.

(supposedly?) the regenerative breaking

I have doubts on that, since regen turns the motors into generators, rather than applying friction. But it's late and I can't be fucked to do the research on it. But knowing how regen works makes me doubt it effects tire wear, especially when the batteries being heavy as hell would have a bigger effect, especially when you use the friction brakes.

Who funded the study?

I had no idea Red vs Blue was still going on.

Both of these were the most suprising things ice heard today

BlueKat posted...

- Drivers say they're routinely getting blinded by surrounding cars' headlights.
- This isn't because headlight regulations have changed regulations on brightness haven't been altered in decades.
- In reality, it's due to misaligned headlights, taller vehicles, and the changing hue of the lights.

Interesting...according to this, headlights aren't brighter, they're just misaligned, higher up on vehicles, and of different hues? I mean, I feel all of those are true but I swear some are definitely brighter--maybe some car companies are just skirting the regulations

The hue is the biggest reason they feel brighter, I think. Red at 500 lumens feels dimmer than blue at 500 lumens. It's something to do with how each wavelength interacts with the rods and cones in your eyes. LED headlights are by and large "cool" white, versus the warmer white you got with halogens. So I suppose the real solution would be to use warmer LEDs for headlights.

I don't get Kevin Nash and his NDA 4Life crap.

I saw a thing claiming that Nash had said because of his relationship with WWE, he couldn't attend Sting's retirement match in AEW at all, even in the audience. I'm not sure what his role there is, if at all, and don't feel like looking it up, but Nash has always had a reputation for backstage politics. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he's hedging his bets on this, just in case Vince somehow manages to worm out of this and make it back into WWE. I don't think that will happen, but it's also not my job on the line if I call Vince McMahon a piece of shit and he gets back into WWE. Figure that Nash is probably thinking about the steroid scandal and working under a "he beat that somehow, so he could beat this too" logic.

-Crissaegrim- posted...

Breaking an NDA is a worse offense than repeatedly sexually abusing people?

If you're not a victim of the abuse, but could get royally fucked trying to fight the legal storm that breaking the NDA would cause? I don't know Nash's financials, but he could well not have the money to defend himself in court. And well, moral victories don't pay your mortgage.

Politically, Joe Rogan is an ass, but wasn't he involved with UFC? Professional fighters have really strict health standards compared to even the NFL, let alone WWE which is effectively stuntmen performing theater.

Concussion safety is feasibly one of the few things Rogan would have the slightest clue what he's talking about.

Vince mcmahon is terrible but kurt angle is a psycho. He just loves to wrestle and go through the pain, it got so bad wwe had to distance from him

There's also this. Kurt was released so he could go rehab his neck in the way it SERIOUSLY needed. I'm fairly sure it never really healed after he broke it winning a gold medal (yes, that really did happen). Instead he went and started wrestling in TNA. It's honestly amazing he's not more fucked up than he is physically. Especially because he's absolutely on steroids, he wasn't in the Olympics, but after years of tearing himself apart wrestling he absolutely is. Take a look at Angle in his WWE debut through the early 00s, then at the end of his first WWE run and TNA run, and beyond. Angle got absolutely jacked. And a lot of it is around his neck, like instead of rehabing it, he's tried to build a bunch of muscle up to make up for the fact at least one vertebrae is sort of fucked.

I've learned that's the reason that police cars have/had the red light over the driver side.

Honestly, those lights are so fucking obnoxious now that they've crossed from safety feature into safety hazard.

The same thing with new flashlights. You can't get anything with normal brightness anymore. They must think everyone is legally blind or something.

Look man, with a flashlight, generally speaking unless I need a low light use, if I pull it out I want the brightness to be something like "high noon daylight in Arizona."

Post was a Keebler plant manager in Grand Rapids in the early 1960s when he was approached by executives at cereal giant Kelloggs to create a breakfast food for the toaster.

So plant managers were also responsible for research and development? Holy shit corporations really got their money's worth in the 60s. I've worked in manufacturing and can't imagine any of those idiot managers being expected to do this.

I think it's more that plant managers were listened to by the R&D guys when they had an actual good idea instead of being written off as "that dumb fuck in manufacturing".
