Bastard-in-armor - Not Your Boyfriend (I'm A Woman)

Cashiers should not only have chairs, they should have raised platforms to sit on so they can look down at anyone who purchases anything

been awhile since I've done one of these so here's more text chat nonsense i've encountered

Whatever they have going on is funny.

I'm being completely fucking honest, it wasn't me this time. I think it's someone who likes motorcyclists as much as you do, because I have never experienced "the Spiral" when it comes to watching "silly motorcyclist dancing videos."

i can recommend looking at a few (max like 10 to prevent the Spiral) silly motorcyclist dancing videos to refresh the eyes, purify the heart, embolden the brain, and also water your crops (but also seriously wish you feel better)

Oh that "I'm going to search 7 chests at tilted towers" post was a joke following a trend of posts I've already seen, I'm doing alright! But I will watch silly motorcyclist dance videos just for fun, it's good for morale.

Do you think the fella responsible for the Stig sideblog counts

Zoomer jigsaw: I want to play an iMessage game

Sometimes I say something stupid to people and I just want to go, "DISREGARD PREVIOUS COMMUNICATION" so we can just move on instead of me quickly trying to come up with an innocuous explanation for what I just said that doesn't make me sound insane or like I just made a massive social blunder

we joke all the time about “author’s obvious fetish showing up in the work” but i think we should also talk about “someone with that fetish thinking it’s fetish material bc they’re incredibly into that but the author didn’t conceive that anyone could find that hot”

It’s honestly just disappointing to know that after over 50 years, they finally used this old Star Wars concept art and they just turned it into a scary monster. The original painting isn’t an action or horror scene. Luke isn’t scared. The organism is grazing calmly on fungus and doesn’t even have teeth. It’s sad that they couldn’t let a big alien “spider” just be a gentle baby. Expanded universe lore eventually held that the “spiders” were the immature stage of the *trees* on planet dagobah, which was an awesome concept.

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
