    Another serious topics: Are intimate realtionships a worthless investment?

    Both. I'm sure people get married because it's the thing they're supposed to do, but I couldn't tell you how many or who. And nature requires that we fuck like rabbits or become extinct. Seems simple enough to me. Actually, I think the one cross that cross that heteronormal guys do bear is that...

    So what lore has Bethesda done gone fucked up?

    About a quarter of the reviews for FO4 are negative, which is surprising to me for a triple A title.

    Also sums up my feelings about Avatar.

    What if?: Alien Invasion

    The common assumption in the thread is that it's a large alien nation spanning multiple systems attacking us. Okay think about that. How unified are the countries of Earth? Why assume aliens are unified? A lot depends on what they want, how they got here, how expensive it is to get here and...

    robots, how do they work, and main differences from our timeline.

    I don't think it's damage. The implication is that yeah, the body is a necessary part of the biological computation that makes a person a person. So like, hormones and stuff.

    What suddenly no longer exists

    They just are. They bum me out. Evidently chimp wang isn't much better either.

    robots, how do they work, and main differences from our timeline.

    The brain bots specifically use brains as the cpu, but the process of extracting the brain wipes the personality from it. So it's not good for much else. The Think Tank seems to have gotten around this, albeit, only partially, since the process of being a brain in a jar seems to unhinge them...

    Aghhh. Whyyyyyy.

    What suddenly no longer exists

    There's an irritating mentality that I don't understand, am always blindsided by and never really consider to be a thing. Simply that people equate with being able to state things by definitively by rote, and doing so confidently, is the same as being learned. If you don't have answers then it...

    What if?: Alien Invasion

    Literally nothing known about that. Also, travelling at relativistic velocities is silly because of the absurd energy required, and also the fact that getting there would probably blow up whatever you're trying to accelerate. And still take years and years of travel even if you managed the task...

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    Uhhh, I never claimed that. So it's not relevant. You're realllly overestimating the impact drug use has on population growth. Comparing the 17th century to the 21st is like night and day. And it's not like societies have zero mores about drug use. Legion just go-pants-on-head zero tolerance...

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    Viability isn't the problem. Not by a long shot. There's a lot to indicate that NCR and House are viable for a given value of viable.

    Fat Shaming: What's NMA's Thoughts?

    We're not talking about prolonging life on a machine or something. Aging is aging because it's the quality of your life that's breaking down. Muscle is good because if you're older, you have more to lose and you're less likely to be the frail person that slips and breaks his hip and needs one of...

    Ulysses is kind of a moron...

    I'd say the writing is pretty bad on a lot of levels, which is why there's even a debate. You can do characters with off-kilter or odd beliefs and do it well without them seeming too pretentious about it. If Ulysses is just very angry and it poisons his judgment, you can portray that too. NV...

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    Okay, very quickly I find a logical problem. Investigating this with a lazy google search I find: https://www.quora.com/How-were-women-treated-in-the-Mongol-Empire Turns out that the Khans in their "Good Ending" is a lot more like the Mongol empire than the Legion. Not really surprising given...

    Fat Shaming: What's NMA's Thoughts?

    I have a dad that is a scientist. He'll posit there are about a thousand little idiopathic things that go away if you exercise regularly because humans are adapted to some level of activity and poorly adapted to being sedentary. That isn't just obesity related stuff, but the general ability to...

    Weapons and armors

    Pipe weapons just infuriate me. For one thing, just give the player a 10mm pistol. Your game is a shooter. Give him a gun, not a theme park progression RPG-lite gun. Lore-wise, every damn Vault had the stupid things.

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    Annnnd? Much of the NCR and the Mojave has culturally superior attainments in medicine, gender stuff and not having slavery. I can appreciate in an abstract intellectual way that the Legion is an unprecedented cultural powerhouse in Nevada, but that's has a lot to do with nothing. The Khans are...

    Weapons and armors

    Ironically, holographic reflex sights were prototyped well before and larger versions were in common use for anti-air guns or aircraft mounted weapons. It's something I had to look up and went, "I'll be damned." There's no way even these things wouldn't have seen use a few decades into the 21st...
