Parts, maybe.... probably.... okay possibly, but not everything. Also, once we stream I don't watch what Dave puts up. I hate hearing my own voice on youtube. I get judgmental when I hear my voice because I know how my voice can sound verses how it often DOES sound and that gives me... irritation. Anyway, I hope that clears things up, because no one can trust inebriated Nancy.... we know that she is a crazy cyborg cannibal in a pink dress, who would trust that?!

 Update 113So today we take a break from our scheduled Bobblehead hunting trip when MacCready breaks down and finally explains what he's looking for out here in the wasteland. His kid's got some kind of plague-ish illness and he's heard that there's a cure in an old medical facility nearby. I'd say that things don't look good for the kid since we've been traveling together for weeks, but since MacCready's a pal we go ahead and do some hospital spelunking through the ghoul haunted corridors until we find what he's looking for. Thesaya posted:I get that, but I hope you understand that I am still going to give you poo poo for silly things you might say. That's fair. And also, now that you say it that does ring a bell. ultrabindu posted:Dave you hosed up. How you forget to switch on the laundry? I pressed the button, but evidently did not press it long enough for the machine's liking. And I get a reduction in sentencing since what was in the washer was pretty much my work clothes. Actually you could say that my sentence was having to go downstairs and grab cold work clothes out of the dryer the next morning when I was getting ready.

A comprehensive breakdown of every contraceptive, foam, IUDs, the pill, etc. complete with a teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a cucumber. Then there was the slide show presentation on STDs. Image after image of diseased genitalia burned into my brain. But I think the stand out was my Chemistry teacher hooking up a pickled gherkin up to two electrodes turning out the lights and running a current through it and proudly announcing "Gentlemen, this is what an STD looks like". I think their whole objective was to scare us out of wanting to have sex ever, however they underestimated the need of horny teenagers to get their rocks off. Weird thing was that they told us masturbation was totally fine but that porn would warp our brains. Which I guess was fair enough.

The standout memory from our sex ed, which was part of our Biology class, was our teacher telling us to remember to always pee after sex to avoid UTI's. It was pretty chill in general though, I remember that I was a bit meh about there only being a single page about homosexuality in the book, since that was around the time I was starting to think about those things. I have heard that in other schools it has been much more awkward, (more than from the fact that we were teenagers,) so it obv varies here too though. Oh, and in Swedish, the phrase "the birds and the bees" is "flowers and bees". I never thought about the fact that the translation isn't literal until now.

Update 114 Today we start out by sending our scavenged medication through the ghoulpostal express and then move on to another cause near and dear to MacCready's heart: Killing Gunners. Our next objective is the Small Guns Bobblehead, and it's actually at Gunner HQ. That's bad news for them, but great news for anybody who's all about some mayhem. We're going straight in and killing everything that moves, including possibly MacCready if he keeps wandering into my line of fire. New poll is up here since we had Piper with us last night on the stream. ultrabindu posted:

Flowers and bees actually makes a LOT more sense with the whole pollination thing and that actually being tied to how flowers reproduce. The birds and bees thing is just confusing, as Bart Simpson observed when he said "The sun is out, the birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them - as is my understanding."

Update 115 Today we're picking up with the new stream and cleaning up some loose ends. We get that elusive Bobblehead and kill all of the rest of the Gunners (although on at least one occasion it doesn't go well) and then head back to Sanctuary to trade MacCready for Piper. While we're there we go ahead and rename Curie's knife and admire her wardrobe decisions, and then give Dogmeat a toy because he's been a very good boy. The voting's been active already, but you can still vote on our next companion here. ultrabindu posted:RIP MacCready, you tried to save your son but you walked infront of a high powered rifle. And he did it a couple more times this episode. This actually highlights a huge quality of life improvement over this game as compared to Skyrim, as in Skyrim that would have killed MacCready.

Update 116 This update marks the beginning of our adventures with Piper, starting with a trip out to the Mass Fusion Building in search of the Strength Bobblehead. There's some relationship drama on the computers and a Gunner commander in power armor at the top, but otherwise it's a regular day at the office. Once we're done there's a settlement in need of help and then we're off to the Warwick area to prep for our next Bobblehead hunt. Meanwhile, companion voting continues here.

Update 117 Starting off in today's update we leave Warwick and stop by the FMS Northern Star to make sure we didn't miss anything that would explain the Norwegian Ghouls, only to have raiders show up and attack the settlement we just left. After rescuing a small child from three power-amor wearing raiders it's time to head back to our real goal, the Endurance Bobblehead located at a nearby Poseidon Energy facility. It's swarming with Raiders, and just as we get inside Piper decides that this is the perfect time to talk about her problems with her sister. Once we've had a heart to heart and killed every living and non-living thing in the building it's on to Malden, where there's a vault under a middle school. There's some dark times ahead. ultrabindu posted:Piper + minigun = 100% bae There's just something about a girl with a heavy weapon. seaborgium posted:You really should call Piper's minigun just "The Pen". It is mightier than the sword after all. I'll have to go back and look at the various names that were suggested. I still like Stop The Presses, but The Pen is pretty good too. I'm amused by how we're actually naming specific random weapons that our companions have picked up. I loved Plasma in Fallout 1 and 2, but I haven't really enjoyed it as much in the later games. Not sure why, but it just doesn't click.

Update 118 It wouldn't be Vault Tec without a creepy experiment, and this one's a doozy. We're in Vault 75, where there's an elaborate system of keycards to navigate and a setup that let a fragment of the Vault population watch the rest unobserved. The place is crawling with Gunners, and there's a possibility that this is actually the vault that they originally came from although that's never really confirmed. A series of terminal entries give details from the perspective of both the watchers and the watched, and there's a reason they put this place under a school. Let's get down to business To defeat The Gunners Love it! bman in 2288 posted:Ping, what are you doing with that rocket?!

It's nice that they mixed up the dungeon designs by adding something new but I'm not sure keycards was the way to go, if you've ever played the old MSX Metal Gears, they were the nadir of gameplay since you had to have them equipped and only certain cards got you through certain doors, so you'd have to constantly cycle through them to find the right one because gently caress remembering what's the right one. I feel like we talk about Metal Gear a lot. Vault-Tec are so cartoonishly evil it's great. I reckon that the company chief scientists just channeled the spirit of Pavlov to ask him about different ways to gently caress with people and dress it up as an experiment. I like to think that the senior Vault-Tec officials are off in some sealed bunker cryogenically frozen and somehow having video feeds from all the vaults beamed into their dreams just because they could.

Update 119 Today we're concluding the story of Malden Middle School and Vault 75. If you thought we'd already hit peak level of cartoonish evil, we're about to blow past that into outright super villain territory. Our path takes us through the rest of the Gunners in the Vault, and after that trip it's definitely time to get some fresh air. Like near a Satellite Array. ultrabindu posted:It's nice that they mixed up the dungeon designs by adding something new but I'm not sure keycards was the way to go, if you've ever played the old MSX Metal Gears, they were the nadir of gameplay since you had to have them equipped and only certain cards got you through certain doors, so you'd have to constantly cycle through them to find the right one because gently caress remembering what's the right one. Metal Gear is kind of a cultural touchstone that I think has a lot of influences on the later Fallout Games. At least we don't have to take these keycards into a hot place and a cold place, and the game is kind enough to actually just automatically use the one you need if you have it. Regarding Vault Tec that's pretty much the case... the entire program was meant to be a way to run experiments on isolated populations, with only a lucky few vaults designated as controls. For anybody else you were pretty much guaranteed to have something screwed up going on behind the scenes. Also, I love the red and black and bloody all over for an album cover that would go over a collection of Disney songs. There's always blood on the snow in the end, isn't there?

Update 120 We're picking right back up with the Satellite Array (but not with You're Welcome), where there's a dead Brotherhood of Steel Scribe and a bunch of soon to be dead super-mutants waiting for us. After that we're turning in some quests and going back to Sanctuary to play dress up and put together our bobblehead collection. We've finally caught them all! Also, new poll for our next companion after Deacon is here. Wa11y posted:The H in Jesus H. Christ stands for Howard. Like from The Lord's Prayer. Ouch, dad joke ahoy!

I've heard a lot of debate about original language and dubbed versions, but I guess distribution has gotten a lot easier. Do you prefer the Swedish dub? The cut is actually my fault. I lost track of time when we were playing and would have ended up with a 53 minute update so I had to pick a point. That one just stuck out because of the moment where I had to plug in the controller.

Update 121 Today's video marks the first one from Wednesday's stream, so we're ditching Piper to hang out with Deacon but not before we rename Piper's signature weapon. Once we pick up Deacon we're off to take care of a few Railroad quests, and in very short order we're reminded that there's more than a few things.. off.. about Deacon. But we push through the raiders despite his antics and place the MILA before picking up our dead drop. It sends us to University Point, the remains of a quaint little university town that is now crawling with Institute Synths looking for something or someone. Voting for our next companion continues here. Thesaya posted:See, this is something you guys never get to feel. The pride of watching your first subbed Disney film. Mine was Hercules when I was like 11 or 12. To answer your question, the films from my childhood I watch in Swedish, newer ones in English. So Hercules was subbed, but only children's films get dubbed.. so there's like a dividing line where some Disney films are for children and others aren't? That's actually kind of interesting if so. I wonder what makes the difference? We made a conscious effort to minimize the wait for reading this time, I hope it helped. ultrabindu posted:lol It's like that suicider was riding a hoverboard to his demise.

For some reason that reminds me of the line about how losing one parent is tragic but losing two begins to look like carelessness. And there's actually a story Nancy has about someone's extremity escaping the body, but one thing I've learned from knowing here is that growing up on a farm involves a lot more body part loss than you would imagine.

I noticed it takes forever to load FO4 on a SSD in borderless window mode with vsync on, or runs way too fast with vsync off. Apparently its due to the game engine code being tied up to the framerate like a DOS game 20+ years ago. Never change Bethesda.

Update 122 Our main goal with today's episode is exploring University Point, a sprawling complex that's now full of synths and Mirelurks but that was at separate points filled with students and settlers. The computer systems are still operational and the email tells a tale of hidden military research and a snooping dean before the war, although a couple also tell us about a young girl from just a few years ago who stumbled on data that the institute wanted. In neither situation did things end well for most of the people involved. At least Deacon isn't stripping quite as much, so that's something. New poll, as a reminder, is still up here. Palladium posted:I noticed it takes forever to load FO4 on a SSD in borderless window mode with vsync on, or runs way too fast with vsync off. Apparently its due to the game engine code being tied up to the framerate like a DOS game 20+ years ago. Reminds me of something similar I saw on an old freeware game that I booted up some years ago. You were supposed to dodge asteroids in a spaceship, but the game had been written with the intent that it would run on the old 486 systems from the 90's. I booted it up on a 2006-2007 computer and the rocks were a blur. I won anyway, since it had been so badly designed that if you just stood still you'd reach the end. Thesaya posted:Oh not not at all!

It is more about the point you know enough English well enough to watch a subtitled version instead of the dubbed one. That makes sense, and you're right that it is a bit different here in America. It's still a fun milestone if you reach a point where you know another language well enough to watch a subbed film, but it's an individual achievement rather than a normal part of growing up. ultrabindu posted:

Update 123 As we break into the bank deposit at University Point Deacon decides it's finally time to tell us a little bit about himself, making his timing about a thousand times better than any of our other companions. We take our loot, a unique laser pistol, and leave only to find that we can't turn in either of our Railroad quests. Because we built the teleportation relay with Railroad help, Desdemona and Tom won't talk to us about our quests until we use it and go inside the Institute. With no other choice we head into the Institute to meet with its leader, a mysterious man known as "Father." Ongoing poll for the next companion is here.

Update 124 The cat is well and truly out of the bag about our father-son relationship with Father, also known as the wee baby Shaunmas. He wants us to get acquainted with the Institute so we go on a tour. It's all very civilized, with departments and department heads and synthetic gorillas. Basically everything you could want in an underground science bunker. So naturally while we're here we meet with the Railroad's contact and make a tentative plan to liberate a bunch of synths and then accept a Synth retrieval mission from Shaun. We're going to have to figure out our loyalties later, but in the meantime we can collect from both sides.
