its time for a little game theory y'all

*spins chair around backwards*

what if Jared was actually in a Hillary Swank's Boys Don't Cry sitch, and Ivanka is actually a lesbian, and in order to fool Trump and gain his blessing for her hand in marriage....

realtalk swank did some amazing work in that movie

one of those things that just hurts to watch because she made it real as heck

whereas if parasites like jared or ivanka had to deal with some actual physical and emotional trauma id just sort of nod and welcome them to real life

I mean you could just play Far Cry I guess?
Fallout 4's problem is that it completely sucks dick at being an RPG

i never played 4 because it looked bad, but this does apply to 3 and new vegas

far cry is fun but it's not the same whereas fallout as cool but trying to actually shoot rats or whatever feels awful

the wikipedia article on this game is charming af

The game itself was fun even though there was no combat. It was so peaceful and relaxing to just farm items or create art or breed beetles or try to figure out beer brewing or cutting gems or a whole bunch of other poo poo.

You could completely ignore the political stuff.

They have no trouble spotting them. They just don't want to get rid of them.

They have a flag that can be assigned to a Nazi account so that it can't be viewed in countries with laws against that. But they won't delete the account because they either don't care or actually want Nazis using Twitter.

fallout 3 had you cant hit poo poo even if you aim perfectly without high skill points in shooting

New Vegas and 4 have you can hit everything perfectly with good aim but the damage you do is stat based

ok yeah New Vegas is a great game that's built on a complete dumpster fire of an engine, I'll freely admit that.
like on console the game just didn't animate enemies that were more than like 25m away from you, their models would just be flopping around in their default position. it was hilarious

Look at this babby who didn't go stealth + pistols

Also Fallout 4 on survival mode has such good combat/exploration/etc compared to every other game in the series but then only 4-5 quests that aren't garbage that I fully understand why fans hate it but that doesn't make it any less fun to sneak up on a camp, kill them all and then steal all their water and duct tape

Also, donald tromp? Bad

no it unlocked later in the column based on your special stat, so each perk had a minimum stat to go with it
