It is not my fault that your language have to use a loan word to describe feeling joy at others' misfortune! Oh, and I am using the word schadenfreude because that is your loan word, but the saying about it being the only true joy is all Swedish.

Update 77 We're back, and this time we're taking Cait to get her addictions cleared up. Before setting off we've got a bit of armoring to do, and we're also going to do one last favor for the local settlers near the Atom Cats. The catch is that we have to find the place first, and there's an Assaultron Dominator and a very unfriendly group of Gunners between us and there. It's going to get a bit rocky, but that just means that we need to get creative and maybe do a bit of experimentation. I've decided that we're going to push on ahead after this week's stream and keep with Cait since we're probably pretty close to maxing out her affection. Next week's stream is going to be focused on getting to the final main game companion and introducing the final faction. seaborgium posted:Just curious, are you ever going to use energy weapons? I've always been a fan of plasma rifles, and it looks like you're starting to pick up energy weapon ammo more now. I might use them to show off a bit... I'm generally more of a fan of standard weapons, but there are some fun weapons out there like the plasma sniper rifle. I think we found a pretty good laser weapon in this week's stream so I may give it a shot.

Update 78 With today's update we've finally found the Atomatoys factory, but the Brotherhood of Steel is already there doing my job for me. I'd love to leave it at that, but they're not very good at it so we have to do some clean up. After that we can finally head south for Cait's companion quest, but there's a lot of distance between here and there. Lots of abandoned buildings, weird shrines, and a summer camp that comes complete with it's own Deathclaw! We'll be a lot closer by the end of today's episode, but we're not there yet.

So the key point of Schadenfreude is delaying your empathy until afterwards. I suppose that's a fair description - I'm reminded of a time when I ran my bicycle into a yield sign and my friend asked if I were okay and then started laughing his rear end off when I said I was. He just got the order wrong. Cannot unsee!

Seems you're getting to the point where you're running out of side quests. Maybe it's time to advance the main plot a bit then collect up some more NPC quests. How does the bullet damage work? Is it a dice roll with multipliers from your weapon damage stats and perks against the enemy's resistance? The game varies widely when it comes to how effective your weapons are.

Update 79 Today we're finally reaching Vault.. 95, I want to say, and going in to cure Cait. The only problem is that it's literally so full of gunners that they're practically pouring out of the vents, and they've brought some assaultrons with them. It's nothing we can't handle, but it's going to take a minute or two. ultrabindu posted:Seems you're getting to the point where you're running out of side quests. That's kind of what I'm thinking - there's actually two additional factions we haven't yet met, and the first one has all kinds of associated quests. There's also some scavenger hunting we can do for bobbleheads, and it might be worth it to do some of the faction quests to get to a point where people can make an informed choice on them. Eventually we are going to have to pick a side. I have no idea how the damage works, but it might be an interesting to see what's going on behind the curtain.

Update 80 Today we're taking a slightly long episode to make sure that we both finish Cait's quest and explore the Vault to find out the sad story of what happened to the inhabitants. Also, turns out that the Grognak costume was NOT the best choice for this, so Cait gets some new clothes. Might be too little too late, but I'm sure she'll appreciate it. seaborgium posted:You did get a decent energy rifle this time at least.

That final quest cutscene really showed the limitation of the game engine. It probably would have carried more weight if you both weren't awkwardly standing around holding weapons.

Update 81 Today we're doing something we haven't done in quite a while: the main quest line. You might vaguely remember something about a missing son, the Institute, and a scientist living out in some place called "The Glowing Sea." So after a little bit of resupply that's exactly where we're headed, and it's pretty much exactly what it says on the label. Also, it's full of ghouls, radscorpions, deathclaws, and other nasty critters. But we're not going to stop until we find Virgil, at which point we will. Very promptly. ultrabindu posted:That final quest cutscene really showed the limitation of the game engine. It probably would have carried more weight if you both weren't awkwardly standing around holding weapons. I suppose I could have put up our weapons before the cut scene, but... eh, I never put up my weapons. It's dangerous out here. Bad news on the still, though - I'll check when we play tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure you can only use a still in a settlement that's under raider control. The alternative is to open up a bar in Sanctuary, but we need two levels in the Local Leader perk and I just don't have the perks to spare for it right now.

As someone who has grown up with real trees, we usually carried them home on our shoulders or on a plastic sled. (4-8 blocks, like 1.5 km at most.) Now, I understand that you are US car dependent people, but do you realise that Christmas trees are usually wrapped in plastic mesh and thus does not scratch up your car at all? Also, tip, saw off the bottom of the tree and then cut a cross in it to help it absorb water. sugar cube or aspirin in the water might help a tiny bit but in general it is bullshit. Just make sure to not let the tree run out of water and it'll be fine. Oh and lights, remember, you don't really need lights towards the side/sides that is against the wall.

Update 82 So we've finally found Virgil from the Institute, and we can get some answers - we're just probably not going to like them. The only way to crack into the Institute's teleportation network is to hunt down and destroy a killing machine that walks like a man and literally pull the technology out of its head, so today we're starting the quest to chase down a Courser and pull off a reverse Terminator scenario.

It would be nice if they were no more than 1.5 KM, but sadly here in the US everything is somewhere else and you get there in a car. The main issue wasn't so much scratching as it was that we got about a 6.5 - 7 foot tall tree that wouldn't remotely fit in a four door sedan and we have no way to tie it to the roof. The cutting a cross isn't something I'd heard before, but we did saw off the bottom so there'd be a fresh cut to absorb the water. I had never even heard this holiday, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Americans trying to say Worcestershire sauce well never not be funny. With respect to the Hobbit and Fantastic beasts, the main problem was pacing, if a movie goes along at a fairly brisk pace you'll still be entertained. There's nothing wrong with stretching things out to 3 or 5 films as long as you get through the material quickly whilst still having you audience keep up. The Hobbit films ground to a halt at frequent points and you could tell exactly what the filler was, be it a character that was not in the book or an action scene that outstays it's welcome. The editing is key. It's funny you mention pulling in supplementary material in the Hobbit because the entirety of Aragorn's and Arwen's relationship in the Lord of the Rings came from the appendices, it's barely mentioned in the body text of the novels so it can be done well.

Update 83 A long one today, but I definitely wanted to get through the Courser and finish that particular quest. We're climbing the tower and killing every Gunner on the way up, but they might very well have mistaken us from the courser at this point. At the top the Courser has some prisoners, but he also has a Stealthboy. I never did finish that sentence, but the main thing with a stealthboy is that using a weapon that gives off a bright flash and gives away your position isn't the best idea. Watching the video I realized that I didn't even say anything before killing a bunch of tied up gunners, so that got dark QUICK. On the plus side we saved a synth, but we're also probably never going to see her again. ultrabindu posted:Americans trying to say Worcestershire sauce well never not be funny. I know how to start saying Worcestershire, I just don't know how to stop. I'd agree on the pacing, and you're right about the Hobbit and where it drags. That said, at least the appendices were part of the book. If I recall, all of the extra stuff in The Hobbit came from different collections and note fragments that were published separately.

Update 84 After a quick visit to Dr. Amari we're off to walk the Freedom Trail, which winds its way past super mutants, raider bases, and ghoul nests. Turns out that there is a real Freedom Trail in Boston, which I imagine is fairly similar. At the end of the trail we've got a new faction we can do missions for, as well as a new companion we can bring along. I've decided that since we're light on side-questy stuff it's probably time to do some faction quests. You can vote here for which faction you want to see more of, or post alternate ideas or things you want to see.

Deacon's got a secret mission that's sure to get us in good with his boss, and all we have to do is fight our way through a secret bunker full of Institute synths that's located under a doughnut store and recover a lost prototype.

After watching us pick a lock she pours out her heart, and we have an awkward moment with Deacon standing right there. But in the end we find the prototype and just like that we're in with the Railroad. They've already got a mission lined up for us, too: a dead drop and a synth to escort to freedom.

Update 88 Today we're off to the wreck of the FMS Northern Star, where the ghouls aren't feral so much as they're foreign. I almost wonder if they didn't just get super frustrated after a couple hundred years of nobody being able to speak to them and went rogue. After that we pick up the Luck Bobblehead, which actually does allow us to give 110% in regards to Luck, and then close out by heading back to the local farm and chatting a bit. We'll pick back up tomorrow with last night's stream, and I think we have enough footage for about six episodes so there should be something under the digital tree on Christmas eve. ultrabindu posted:It's the timing.

I am back at update 82, (really should try to watch these when they come out but sometimes I feel like different kinds of LPs you know,) and just wanted to give my two cents about the book/films thing. Fantastic Beasts and The Hobbit really aren't comparable in my opinion, since they are very different kinds of books. Now, I haven't read Fantastic Beasts, but it seems to be a fictional bestiary more than a novel. I definitely agree about the Hobbit though. I honestly haven't watched it because I don't like being disappointed, I do however plan to watch the fan-edit at some point. I just never seem to get around to it. Edit; at episode 83, a very minor thing about vegans. some vegans have a holier than thou attitude, not a lot. It's a case of a vocal minority. It's just a pet peeve of mine, since I know several vegans and never seen them be preachy, hell, I've been to a barbecue party hosted by vegans and the only problem meat eaters faced was that they had to grill their stuff separately due to the cross contamination issue. What I have seen a lot of though is people complaining or joking about vegans being preachy. But as I said, minor thing, pet peeve, and I in no way disagree with Nancy on the actual topic. Edit2, update 86; You just got into a romantic relationship and Cait keeps bothering you about resting for the night. But you just won't take the hint will you? Poor Cait. You should invest in a double bed to make it up to her. Make her feel special before she realises you are loving her and everyone else who is hot and willing. Edit3, update 87; I have had a bunny who gnawed off the bottom branches of the Christmas tree (luckily he couldn't reach the ones with ornaments on them,) and a dog who loved to drink out of the foot of it because, hey, novelty! Neither ever got sick from it. I wouldn't worry too much. Also, you have reached the point where you are actually saying dog in Swedish by pronouncing hound weirdly. (hund) Edit4, update 88; as your resident Swede I can tell you that they are speaking Norwegian. Which is amusing since it looks like an industrial fishing boat and that is a huge industry in Norway. I'd like to imagine they just went wildly off course. Oh and we do look mostly alike, that is not a bad thing to say. Finns look a bit more slavic than other Nords but that's all. And the dude said Åh nei, not oh nein. So, meaning is the same, slightly different word. ...I am starting to wish I would have been there for the stream for this. Oh and now you called me out! You got the name right Nancy, don't worry. When I made it up I was too young to realise that I should have used an i instead of a y for the sound I wanted, I was like 10. Things they have said so far; Du vil angre angripa oss: You will regret attacking us. (the grammar is really off for this one btw, although it might be right in Norwegian. Doubt it though.) Åh nei/nei: Oh no/no. Du dräpte honom!: You killed him! If you ever go to Gothenburg Sweden I would love to meet you. And Finnish is finno-ugric, and it's super weird and one of the hardest languages to learn. Oh, and English is a Germanic language, the main one actually, so of course they're similar. Scandinavian languages, (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese,) are northern Germanic languages. Oh, and calling languages accents isn't really polite Nancy, just so you know. Japanese have so many distinctions for rank and social groups it's not even funny. Like, the slightest change in relationship has a different form of adress. Oh, and I am female.

Now, I haven't read Fantastic Beasts, but it seems to be a fictional bestiary more than a novel. I think having the author directly involved makes a big difference to how organic the expansion feels. It could also have been just a difference in quality of production. I'm looking forward to seeing more in the Fantastic Beasts series, but if they were coming out with a series based on The Silmarillion that would have to be one HELL of a trailer to get me to show up.

Probably colors our view just a bit - which, relevant to today's update, when we get to the part about vegans the entire point of what we were saying is that you can't tell anything about the content of a person's character based on their veganism, just the contents of their stomach.
