  • Seriously, poop isn’t some kind of horrible thing that won’t wash off. It isn’t radiation, it isn’t going to burrow in the skin and resist removal.

    No, it literally does that. Try this. Go touch your poop. Really rub it into your skin like you’re wiping your anus. No go wash your hands with unscented soap. Smell your fingers. I guarantee you you’ll smell shit. Wash them again. Same thing. You literally can’t wash it out. You just have to wait.

    There’s a reason we always shake hands right handed. It’s because your left hand is for you know what.




  • Yes, and they should be required for fast-travel and have built-in storage. Let them be used for fast-travel even without having already visited a location by just picking a spot on the map if there are clear roads between here and there. Occasionally have random encounters when fast-travelling which take place in temporary locations, after which you just get back in the vehicle to continue the journey.

    Add an optional driving mini game for giggles.

    And then make the wasteland huge. Multiple towns and cities, not all on top of each other. Put important caves, power plants, army bases and such in the middle of nowhere, so you have to know where they are to travel to them effectively. And also let players see distant landmarks as silhouettes like in Wind Waker.

    Vehicles shouldn’t need fuel. Fusion Cores should last effectly forever. It’s a dumb gameplay hack to have made them short-lived.

    “This fusion core has been powering our whole building for years, but if you take it, it will only last in your power armor for one hour.”

    But wear and tear should be extreme unless you spend a lot of time and money fixing your vehicle up, but then it can also get stolen, so that’s risky, but you can always steal it back if you can find it! Imagine finding the camp of the raiders who stole your vehicle, killing them all, and finding all your stored gear spread amongst them.






  • When you watch a video using Sync, like from redtube, you are actually asking the Sync server to find the video in the link and send you what it finds. Same with downloading a video. This is because the Dev constantly has to update the code that extracts videos from websites.

    So he knows all the porn you watch.

    (I’m just guessing what’s going on based on my own usage of the app and seeing this url. Either that or it’s pure spying and not needed at all.)


  • I meant for the sniper shot to work, not to damage things, but I was wrong about that. I learned this yesterday. In fact, if the cube hits your primary target, the sniper shot will not hit them. It applies the AOE damage in a certain order, and then the sniper shot targets the last enemy that was damaged.


  • I’ll check it out, but I’m also learning Python scripting in GIMP, and I found a really nice batch plugin called BIMP that can do things like crop, resize, and much more on many files at once.

    Although I hear the python-fu thing is going away in version 3.0, and instead you’re just supposed to use a code library in a standalone Python script. The python-fu thing is handy because it adds new menu items for the scripts you make for easy access.



  • Telekinesis to get your thrown weapon back, and probably a couple of Shrouding Fog pots, though one is usually sufficient. Use it when the warlocks start spawning, but you can delay it by hiding behind the throne. Also, use whatever thrown weapons you have to trigger more snapshots, even if they’re not killer.






  • Ring of Sharpshooting isn’t required and doesn’t actually synergize with the Shared Upgrades talent because it doesn’t increase the level of the thrown weapon; it only increases the damage and durability.

    To play sniper, all you need to do is dump upgrades into a single thrown weapon. Shuriken is ideal because it doesn’t spend a turn to throw when you spot an enemy while moving.

    Here’s how it works:

    1. You spot an enemy while on the move.
    2. Throw +8 shuriken at them (instant)
    3. Use Sniper ability with an unaugmented bow (instant)
    4. Use normal bow attack if they are still alive.
    5. Enemy now gets their first attack.

    If they were a ranged enemy, now they get their first attack, but they’re dead because they’re squishy. Shuriken is the best because you can kill ranged enemies before they even know what’s happening.

    If you augment your bow for damage, it’s unlikely they survive step 3, but now even your normal attacks are slow. You risk getting jumped on my rippers and such. With good enchantment, a speed augmented bow is amazing. With a high level thrown weapon, your 3 quick arrow hits will deal upwards of 30 damage each.

    A +8 to +10 thrown weapon is usually sufficient, and you can use the rest for armor, wands, and rings. The Troll blacksmith helps a lot with reforging thrown weapons, so don’t use the second or third shuriken or whatever.

    Other choices for the thrown weapon:

    1. Boomerang. It comes back! Fun with a damage augmented bow because during the two turns the sniper shot takes, the boomerang comes back.
    2. Tomahawk. Massive bleed damage.
    3. Force Cube is AOE, but it still has to actually hit your primary target.
    4. Literally any other. You just need it to be upgraded to trigger Shared Upgrades. It’s fun to experiment with them.

    Make liquid metal from other thrown weapons to then make Telekinesis to get your upgraded thrown weapon unstuck from bosses, or to pick it up in a pinch from across the room.
