Well I'm trying to do a House-aligned playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, but I very really truly hate him and the terrible asshole things he says :-/

@scribus Interesting, he's my favourite faction to side with on the grounds of pragmatism, he's the only one with a plan (and the actual capability to make it happen) to make humanity go anywhere other than "we'll just be hobos in perpetuity"
He might not be incredibly likable, but in a survival scenario that's irrelevant. -
@nerthos Yeah, I want to not hate him - I mean, a retro-future spaceVegas? Hell, yeah!! He's not even that unlikable, there's a wry sort of amusement to his bearing. But he's too egocentric; he's not preserving humanity, he's feeding his ego and seeking to create a thrallhood underclass to prop HIM up. Ultimately, I don't consider him sufficiently distinct from Caesar. Both cling to old-world ideals and play up some fantasy of the "inevitability" of "their" power. So, I kill him, take his city, and in my mind carry on with developing the space plans in a little more cooperative, ground-up fashion. (Though in all honesty a spacefaring future would be just as hellish as the vaults so iunno w/e i guess lol) Also I make The King governor or something :p

@scribus That all sounds good until you factor in the kind of human resource you're dealing with in Fallout. Ironically the tv show is the best illustration of this, with the main character trying to behave like a civilized person and consistently getting banana'd by everyone.
House's narcissistic approach is a necessity in the world he's operating, without the army of robots forcing the wastelanders to work at gunpoint nothing will get done (example: they're still living in shacks near 200 years after the war)
Plus, he has civilized some factions already, so it's not like he won't uplift the competent and decent wastelanders into better positions. He has to do that for any space settling plan to work, since good people are needed to populate those colonies.
Sometimes, a competent megalomaniac is the only option that can get the job done.

@pandaexpress Around that long yeah, glad to hear it came around for you in the end.
I've been pretty well all around. 2017 was kind of a mess but other than that, there have been a lot more upsides than downsides. Some losses sure, but death is unavoidable, all that is within my control ticks under my rythm and that's all that matters to say life is good.
Made a lot of friends, got new certifications and a different job, dropped my ex and had a lot of fun these last 8 years. All I can possibly complain of right now is that the stock market is not as good as I'd wish lol.Emily likes this. -
@pandaexpress much the same. Purpose in life does wonders for a person.

@zeldatra I've done that at work staff room, and also argued to a full room of coworkers that the axis were the better faction in WWII, nothing happens if you have enough points in CHA.

Sometimes I buy Trader Joe's nuts and snacks at Aldi Nord. I guess that's still EU, since Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi Nord.

OK... When it comes to US services it is quite different. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Youtube Premium, Discord...

Boycott of US products? My daily products I purchase aren't from the US. Only my comics are from the US. I avoid big brand products in general as they are expensive in the first place and their quality isn't worth that much.

Today I planted tomato seeds and put them into my tiny greenhouses: Purple Sunrise, Malina, Arancia, Jolie Coeur, Marmande, Tscherny Prinz, Japanese Crab, Ananas Noire, Black Krim, Tigerella. 5 seeds for each in case some of them don't grow. I want to keep only two of each, rest will be gifted.

@scribus I hope this year the yield will be big enough to fill a cooking pot at once for tomato sauce. Last year was horrible due to rain and infections. Soon I want to grab some free trampolines with side-netting in order to create a simple roof above the plants to prevent damages from rain. All I need are the vertical pipes. Free trampolines are always there. Right now there are 8 in my region.

At my mother's apartment there are metal spikes in front of the windows of the staircase to prevent birds from sitting there and pooping on people's heads in front of the entrance. When I went up the stairs I found something odd. At first I thought it was a brown and crumpled leaf but it was not quite that. It was a bat that has impaled itself with its head first.

i think they should add pirate majima to the new monster hunter game because who else is more fit to hunt monsters? not your hatsune miku character creation, that's for sure

@liquidusmira Fortnite proved that Hatsune Miku, if given an assault rifle and a jetstream sam sword, is more than capable to go hand to hand with Godzilla.
You underestimate her.

Pirate Yakuza beat. Despite how silly it is it may actually be up where with Yakuza 7 and Yakuza 0 as one of my favorite stories in the franchise.

@zeldatra It is probably the most "straight-forward" story of the franchise. It is still convoluted to a degree but it is simple enough. It is not my favorite story but it was still highly enjoyable.

Not only was I getting late to bet but at 3 AM I was rudely woken up by my neighbor because she has forgotten her keys and I have a spare one for emergencies. Yeah... It was kinda one. Yet I am mad that my whole day is gone to crap because I'm too tired to do anything and can't go to sleep again.
