Can that spray go over paint to seal it all in after I'm done, or should it go directly onto the spackle? I'm starting to think I should just prime/paint tonight and see how it holds for now, as I will probably only have 10 hours total to spray and dry many, many coats of paint. Adding another step beforehand might not let me finish in time. Normally I'd feel bad about slightly derailing a thread but I'm not really interrupting any discussion about what's actually in the game

Adding another step beforehand might not let me finish in time. When you're applying a different top coat, you always want to make sure the bottom coat has cured fully. If it's paint on paint, it's not as big of a deal because spray paint dries quickly and the worst that can happen is the bottom coat shows through the top coat a little, but most resins take a day or two to cure and the paint might react with the uncured portions of the bottom coat and get splotchy or not adhere fully. Are you going to glue on wires & pipes and other bits & bobs afterwards? You might only need 1 coat of primer & 1 top coat, any lettering from the cardboard or whatever that shows through will be partly obscured by the bric-a-brac and might just look like faded markings it's supposed to have.

Yeah, going to add the cable and brackets the run along the top after I paint. Nothing else though, as I didn't really have a good way to add in small details using the materials I have on hand at the moment. I'm using the rustoleum hammered pewter spray paint so it should give it good cover and texture to hide anything under it. I was only going to do a lot of coats to seal in the spackle, but I guess I can do less, see how it holds up, and then do touch ups / resin it at a later date. Right now it just needs to look pretty for photos and survive one or two drunk idiots possibly picking it up, and even without paint on it nothing has crumbled despite setting it down a little two hard or smacking a tabletop when being careless.

Flavor is Berry Lemonade and it's being produced by Jones Soda Company. http://www.target.com/p/nuka-cola/-/A-50148691#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=nuka+cola I'd expect the label to mention Fallout, but it doesn't. If you didn't know Nuka Cola was from Fallout you would have no idea what's up with the bottle. Here's the release schedule for the game somebody over at Reddit made.  New Zealand will be a very popular VPN host on the 9th.

That chart is correct, It's on the official site, right below the system requirements: https://bethesda.net/#en/events/game/prepare-for-the-future-fallout-4-important-release-info/2015/10/08/35 Why even make a chart? It's not that hard to understand.

coyo7e posted:Management ignoring IT is why we will end up in the apocalypse. "Why should we buy a new printer for 600 bucks when this one works just fine and its four toner cartridges only cost $250 each, and last for five thousand whole pages!?" We had this happen with a wide-format printer. Wasted $5k trying to get it repaired and finally gave up when we caught the tech they sent us "field modifying" some of the parts because he was too lazy to send them back when they didn't fit right. The new wide-format printer we bought cost less than we wasted trying to repair the old one. I don't even know why management asks for IT's opinion before making these decisions when they know they aren't going to listen. You are 100% right about the cause of the coming apocalypse. It's going to be some dumb rear end project manager convincing management self improving AI would be the best thing ever to improve the <insert agile buzz words> of their scrum meetings.

There is supposed to be some sort of Fallout trivia thing tomorrow but it appears to be the only thing related to Fallout or Bethesda, wouldn't surprise me to find out that they have something else in store. The event occurs at ~3AM local time for me so I guess I'll find out when I wake up.

I love that flavor, second only to crushed melon which they recently brought back but you can only buy directly from them online for $25/12 bottles. I miss when Jones was so ubiquitous around here that they sold it in cans as twelve packs like regular soda.

Too many times I'll see a shirt that I might theoretically want to buy, only to check the reverse side and have it consists of a giant ad for the company. Bethesda is one of the ones that does it right. If you buy a Red Rocket shirt from them there is no indication that it's not a regular station where you can fill up on gas, diesel or fusion cores.

On the other it's garbage and they're trying to keep it under wraps. I don't know how to feel about it.

They've supposedly been finished with the game since E3 and used the time to bugfix and optimize. I'm doubtful that they're hiding bad things. When companies want to hide bad things they generate hype with excessive marketing and highly tailored gameplay videos. I think they're confident and are just waiting for the floodgates to unleash on launch day.

Inverness posted:They've supposedly been finished with the game since E3 and used the time to bugfix and optimize. I'm hoping that's the case. Review embargo doesn't end until the day before launch. Not that there's really a right or wrong way to do that, I guess, but that doesn't inspire confidence. You maybe avoid major publications only putting ten hours into it before churning out their stuff, but I want more info.

Any game that has a million banners and expertly edited trailers that don't really show anything means I'm going to be extremely wary. Bethesda doesn't need to advertise and it's nice to see a company that rich show some restraint *cough*Rockstar*cough*

Seashell Salesman posted:Who are coke ads targeting? I don't really know but, much like coke itself, they are everywhere. The difference is that Coke has direct competition in the form of every other soda out there. Coke ads still serve a purpose -- they make you want to buy Coke over something else. Fallout 4 doesn't really have any competition when it's releasing, and even if it did the people who are interested in FO4 are still going to buy it.

When you start looking around, you begin to notice that only a handful of titles get HUGE advertising budgets blown on them, many games release just as much information as Bethesda has before releasing their game. My guess is they've realized they don't need to break the bank constantly stoking the fires, people are going to buy this game regardless.
