In more terrible news, Jason Damron, who voiced "The Storyteller" from Shoddycast, passed away on September 7th from stage 4 adrenal cancer.

Could they really not have found a better picture of him that isn't a literal soyface?
I liked the dude's voice work, it was great. I mostly listen to the Storyteller series(great watch btw) but there was also a really weird video about an hour long story that is actually just a really long joke, voiced by him. Condolences to his family.
Is his VA actually dead? Shit, it really is an end of an era.

Oh wow, I remember this guy and even Shoddycast before it turned to shit. Damn, both him and Easy Pete's VA passed away right almost at the same day.
Oh wait, this is your first time? I wouldn't have recommended that perk if it is, spoils a bit of fun but eh. Also, holy fuck the magic of someone playing NV for the first time, how I missed it.

fucking around where? please for the love of god don't don't head north of Goodsprings yet. Once I hit level 20, I usually start playing old world blues. trust me, it's a nice way to get good weapons early.

I used to mod the ever loving shit out of Bethesda games but now I find myself using as few mods as possible. I seem to have a very different idea of what Fallout should "feel like" compared to most modders so I typically avoid equipment and story/quest mods. Thankfully the Creating Kit is (usually) simple enough to use that I can make my own personalized mods for some things.

Same, besides cosmetic mods I usually try to restrict myself to bug fix and performance mods to obviously make the game more stable but also to not try and fuck up the original experience TOO much. That being said though, there are one or two mods I can't play without sadly like the sprint mod. I forgot how tedious traversing the land in the old games could be especially without fast traveling. The gunbash mod, because sometimes it's convenient to be able to just break a raider's nose with your pistol grip and the grenade quickthrow mod, because well I don't think I need to explain that one. Those were 3 QoL features they added in Fallout 4 that I absolutely did not mind.
(Other than that, the only real gameplay altering mods I run are the ones that add New Vegas style reputations and speech checks to Fallout 3 content.)

Aside from the horrible shit happening in the Fallout community this week, I always wondered why Obsidian never had House getting into planes or even spacecraft in his final years before the Great War. It would make sense since he is a copy of Howard Hughes but in a retro-futuristic fashion. Seeing DrB0sch of Out of Bounds Inferno fame do this would fit the concept of House wanting a future for space travel and Las Vegas. The only thing hinted at House's interest in spacecraft was his over hundred-year plan. I wish there were more Hughes in House's story. God, I hate how much shit there is in Fallout that could be interestingly fleshed out in the style of D&D or 40k. I fucking hate being a fan of the series.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't gotten Fallout novels considering how many videogames have a book series. It's really a shame that the only ones we've gotten out of Bethesda are the two Greg Keyes Elder Scrolls ones from what I can tell.

If I had a dollar for every time I thought this way, I'd have quite a few dollars.
If he's very much like Howard Hughes he probably got into a near-death crash like him, wouldn't want much to do with planes after that probably. If he was like Hughes he could probably have been sick and bedridden all the time, so that's probably why he'd invest in robots to do tasks he can't as well as the life support systems that also double as a "mind digitizer" for lack of a better term so he can still work. Nothing is mentioned regarding him being bedridden or near-death plane crashes however so eh. He did predict the Great War and was off by mere hours so it's possible he had plans for aircraft and spacecraft he had to scrap due to not having the time to, even if he was close to decent space travel (doubt he had access to the Zetan tech to reverse engineer like the Enclave), it's still space travel. It would most likely take years he didn't have.
Most we got was a graphic novel of All Roads and the old Fallout Bible. It's fascinating how lacking Fallout is compared to Elder Scrolls. I mean, look at The Imperial Library.

Wasn't Hughes spending his remaining days stuck inside and watching that shitty Zebra movie on constant re-run in his room while collecting his own toenial clippings in a jar? That was the whole point in making House reclusive. Plus, we know Robco invested in Repconn, they did so for a reason. House knew which way the wind was blowing, if you don't blow the rockets up we can assume House does something with them in his ending. House was to Robotics what Hughes was to aerospace, I thought that much was obvious.
For the record, the only true piece of cut content, aside from a lockdown mechanic that doesn't work within this engine, was a possibility for a female courier to scan her brain for House using Black Widow. While this may seem like a cut romance option, this was simply intended as an easier way to access his chamber to kill him. Other than that, the Moon Comes Over The Tower quest would have been fleshed out and his chamber would have been more extravagant, but aside from that House was pretty much a finished character. Not much areas in the game can say the same.

Your average Actual Fallout fan has contributed way less to capitalism since they already bought their games on a Steam summer sale roughly 10 or so years ago for exactly $5 (or even just outright pirated them) and are still using the same gaming rig they bought the games on or even just a beaten up 360 if they only played 3/NV.
Meanwhile your average NuFallout fan is paying $15 to $21 every month for xis Amazon Prime subscription (famously a company for the proletariat) and probably has gone through two console cycles (PS4, PS5) ever since Fallout 4's initial release back in 2015. So I'm thinking xe owns two copies of Fallout 4 and 76 respectively and most definitely bought both brand new or even pre-ordered. There's also factors such as Fallout Shelter, 76, and Creation Store microtransactions which probably tallies up to $1,000 or even more if we go from 2015 to 2024... Those things add up quick if we go by your average gacha game player's average.
And not to mention the fucking huge amounts of consoomerist slop that came out. Definitely a critique of capitalism right here when you pay $50 for a dry-ass lukewarm adult happy meal burger delivered by some refugee while also sipping on your 100% definitely-but-we-won't-admit-it child labour sourced flavored coffee (lmao). And they're the one talking about muh capitalism?

RIP as well. Though oddly enough the IRL Goodsprings resident that Easy Pete was based on is still alive, at least.

I still remember the days when I made my own custom Vault 13 jumpsuit(sadly gone now) and was excited to see homemade Power Armor action figures. It blew my mind when Bethesda started giving out lunchboxes and bobbleheads straight from the game with the LE of the games, best Fallout 1 or 2 have gotten were a Vault Tec branded notebook or whatever "Gecko in a Can" was supposed to be.
It's still surreal to me that Fallout has become this big super franchise with tons of slop for sale, and yet it is possibly the worst outcome that could have happened as a fan. I greatly preferred when the franchise was much less public and yet there was pretty much no merchandise for it, actually. Be careful what you ask for.

Ew, fucking Grubhub? I think even partnering with fucking McDonalds would've been more dignified.
