Pirate101 dating sim. Let's make it real guys.
My special talent is pretending I want to contribute to society and be a normal person
400 million years of wizardry and the 'counterspell + fist-sized rock' strategy has yet to be meaningfully improved upon
Notes from JE Sawyer's stream:
Toward the end of development, every location would have a day or half a day to complete. Most of the border locations suffered from this like Searchlight Airport, and thus did not have a lot of time for Lore™
Something specific JE Sawyer wanted to add if they had time: more bug testing, postgame, more Legion content
Testing for Caravan took place during idle times like lunch. Implementation was not difficult. JE says he regrets making it not as easy to understand.
The musical cutoff point was JFK's assassination
"Arcade is not my self insert 🎵"
JE sang the Lonesome Drifter's songs because there weren't many options when they realized they should implement performances. He didn't put them on the radio because he felt it wasn't professional enough. When Bethesda used his Home on the Wastes he was surprised
He chose Goodsprings because when he visited it he liked the idea of starting somewhere small and isolated.
"I feel people responded well to Veronica and Arcade at a time when lgbtq representation was not very common"
"Arcade does not represent me in the game."
Arcade was JE's player character but so was Jean Baptiste-Cutting, and he is also not JE's self insert
He is happy that Arcade is part of the conversation about how representation happens and that as a result there is a broader spectrum of representation. He has seen the discussion about whether being "gay" is a character's entire personality
Carry weight can be a good part of playing a game, but sometimes it just feels vestigial
He feels that karma was more or less vestigial and unnecessary
JE designed cazadors
Vault experiments: were mostly recycled from their time at Black Isle
There's one JSawyer mod, other modders can use it and do what they like just be clear that their mod isn't his
The reason why the Legion has less content is because the devs designed the content on the map from the inside out
He likes the feel and aesthetic of Fallout 4's power armor, but doesn't like getting power armor early. Prefers a sense of progression in equipment depending on stage of the game
Lip sync for NPCs is procedural
Likes Zachary Levi :)
New Vegas's orange tint was found early. Pre-Fallout 4, the lighting engine was not strong, and without a tint everything washes out.
Multiple currencies was JE's idea
JE disagrees with Avellone about the setting being "too civilized" and prefers post-postapoc where people try to rebuild
6, 10, Kings, Jacks are his suggestions for Caravan
The only planned possible "romance" was getting elvis-weddinged to Cass
His rules for music: nothing past 1964, mostly country, some ratpack, more down tempo and mellow songs
John Gonzalez did the writing for Benny, and the Tops characters
THE POWDER GAMERS
Sunny Smiles was never supposed to be a companion
Ulysses' dialog was so big it wouldn't fit on the disc to be a vanilla companion
Cass was the second largest companion
"The ghosts in Baja" are an intentional mystery
Fallout Berlin. Fallout Midwest 2. Fallout New York. Fallout Quebec
Camp Forlorn Hope was a lot of work, mostly by Charles Staples
the sword was struck into the riverbed and where the water parted to either side of it a great city was built and when the sword was drawn the river closed like the jaws of a serpent to swallow the city

it's always sunny in new vegas
description under da cut
[image ID: 4 images, fallout new vegas redraws of episode stills from the tv series "it's always sunny in philadelphia". all dialogue is in the form of captions typical of tv shows, with a white font on a black subtitle box.
eli, lelelego's courier, and rose of sharon cassidy (cass) are standing in a dirty public bathroom. cass is lighting a very short cigarette. eli is standing a few paces away, looking weirded out. cass says "so, uh, you're gay, huh?
cass, standing in front of a cubicle. she's still lighting the cigarette. she asks, "for pay or for free?"
eli, looking to the side like he's confused by the question, says "uh, for free, I guess."
cass, now putting the cigarette to her mouth, smiles and says, "chump." /end ID]
also, the pics were from alwaysshoutyinphiladelphia :>
Wearing this on a shirt while all the soldiers at Hoover Dam shuffle past me miserably because their general just got thrown 700 feet onto concrete and popped like a grape on impact
When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"
When the Good Place said "Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also 'Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“
so i've got family in nyc and i visit every so often and i like to just wander around the city. so i go to FAO Schwarz the big toy store just to look around right when the new star wars movie was coming out (i don't remember which one but one of the new sequel ones that wasn't rogue one) and just as you would expect, there are a million star wars toys but my eye catches on one particular set of shelves where they have these little dolls
and there are a few general huxes and a few reys and a few finns but then there's a shelf and a half of LOBOT (seen above).
Now, if you didn't grow up with an unhealthy obsession of original trilogy star wars lore between the ages of 12-14 you might not understand who this figure is. he is this guy
and gets flashed once on screen with this shot as a kind of jumpscare which I think was kind of mean to the actor that they just used his face with a head massager as a jumpscare. anyway, i'm getting carried away, but the point is he only shows up in the background of a few moments in the movie after that. in the credits he is even listed as "lando's aide" and he acquired the name lobot because he ended up having no lines in the movie and people suggested that he was lobotomized and his brain was replaced with those metal things seen above. anyway, the fandom went wild with it and came up with all kinds of stories but none of this explains why, in one of the most famous toy stores in the usa, in the middle of a star wars craze, i found nearly 200 lobot dolls on racks and only a handful of other star wars characters. i tried explaining how weird this is to my partners and family members and friends and everyone just looks at me with this blank robotic stare.
now, i just occasionally spend a moment or two every day thinking about whoever it was that decided to overproduce an insane quantity of lobot toys and what they're up to these days
Worst workplace environment ever.
some of the funniest shit in A New Hope are Luke's reaction to his uncle and aunt being burnt to a crisp and Leia's reaction to her entire planet blowing up, lol.
like...there are no intense emotions under George Lucas
why are there so many people who fetishize MLM in roleplay communities. If I see you describe a relationship with two men as "yaoi" I will run for the hills. Goodbye

Hello, Video Game Youtuber. Despite being a "lore expert," you appear to have not noticed that the main character of the game you love uses they/them pronouns. You have 30 minutes to speedrun editing the correct pronouns into all your videos or I will detonate the bombs planted inside your gaming PC, killing you instantly
Man, I sincerely hope the lawsuits against Senate Bill 458 in Montana succeed. Its binary and strictly "biological" definition of sex (which it applied to many different laws) was clearly meant to prevent transgender people from being legally recognized.
Also, it's hilarious because if you happen to have missing parts in your reproductive system, you won't actually fit in the definition for "male" or "female" here even if that's your biological sex and what you identify as. LOL
And of course, there's Senate Bill 99, which prevents any kind of gender affirming care for minors, though it was blocked in September. Not sure how long that will last though. For some reason, there's always so little coverage on these issues, so you have no idea what exactly is going on.
you know i was thinking about it and since both the force and the inner workings of the human mind are arguably non-observable phenomena i think force-based academia should look a lot like psychology. current arguments and achievements of note include:
are the living and universal force actually different???
are the living and universal force actually connected at all???
those two factions of academics who hate each other's guts and theories and methodology (feat. pragmatists who figured out that the theories work together really effectively when practiced??? just saying)
FIGURING OUT WHY IT WORKS IS SECONDARY TO THE FACT THAT IT DOES WORK, JOCASTA
YOU CANNOT JUST DO THINGS WITH THIS METHOD WHEN YOU CAN'T ESTABLISH ITS SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY, YODA
that one researcher who accidentally won the space nobel prize in physics while trying to figure out how it is Physically Possible for the Jedi to do That One Thing
we have no empirical evidence that "the force" exists and therefore we can ONLY make conclusions based on observable events--- (loud angry yelling)
incredible amounts of popular misinformation and pseudoscience being distributed to the public still somehow
psychometric abilities: discrete or dimensional?
look. this experiment was completely unethical and we would never do anything like it today BUT---
this used to be true but then we told people about it and it changed as a result of that awareness. no we're not lying to you----
everything can be 100% traced back to a biomedical source
nothing can be 100% traced back to a biomedical source
force abilities are actually linked to overarching social factors like socioeconomic status of parents and--- *yelling from the back* OKAY BUT WHAT DO WE DO WITH THAT
look. listen. 60% applicability is golden in this field. you're a hard science researcher you wouldn't understand how hard it is to study an invisible energy field with a mind of its own
and, of course, the interdisciplinary argument staple
that isn't actually a real science :/

Reblog if you would date a robot. I'm not a robot I'm just asking for a friend. I have skin.
Fallout New Vegas has an impressively cohesive thesis considering how big of a game it is. The theme of “if society cannot move on from the past, it will repeat the sins of the past” is present in all of the main factions and most of the minor factions. The DLCs extrapolate that to a personal scale.
I just can’t think of a theme that is THAT integral to every part of the game in any other fallout game I’ve played
