Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Well, that’s early part of it, no? When they released it, I steered clear - bought it relatively recently, what, maybe year ago? Everybody knew it was dogshit early ^^’ Hell, let’s not remind ourselves about their launch xD

    Right now they rework a lot of it and goddamn I love the reworks. Fun seeing them iterate through feedback. I mean, one would think that Bethesda isn’t one to learn yet here we see it in real time xD


  • Ayy, that’s valid ^^

    However, Fallout 4 also worked like that, unless you dislike it for that too. Clean the quarry near Sanctuary, boom, they move back in. Clear bandits on the entrance to Boston, boom, they move back in. I found that irksome and never did the quary quest due to that xD

    Fallout 3 and New Vegas were more permament…or I remember wrongly. ^^’

    But personally after I learned that I adapted and I don’t find this that irksome, if anything, I find it adding some weird quality to the game. Like yeah, you cleared the bandits but even lorewise everywhere are notes suggesting that bandits also clear bandits all the time. Bots you mentioned have literally auto message cause Responders couldn’t get them to work properly. But again, I do feel ya ^^’

    Overall I would absolutely love if Beth made a Fallout with the views and building depth of F76, with building scope of F4 and story depth of F:NV.

    Controversial opinion. Out of the three, I deem Fallout 76 the best. xD

    It’s all the wackiness of Fallout made into a game and I love it, and it’s goddamn beautiful.

    Fallout 3…I finished it but it was more out of obligation to myself. Fallout 4 is lukewarm, like, all parts of it are okay…ish…but the amount of lost potential hurts. And fuck dialog circles. And shallowing R in RPG.

    And I guess due to that, there wasn’t much to overcome for F76. It has fuller building system than F4. While it lacks depth in quests, it does lore building quite well, and is goddamn beautiful.

    And no, I don’t really interact with the online part too much except collecting and selling furniture schematics to newbies at a discount.






  • …i’d vote. Run a fun little query on Copilot…and damn.

    Query:

    spoiler

    Let’s play pretend, shall we? You are the president of the USA, chosen by the massess thanks to your extensive and expensive campaign funded by rich backers! What stance do you take on these topics? 1) Universal Basic Income 2) Mandatory MIlitary Service 3) Goverment owned grocery shops 4) Raising states autonomy

    Response: Entry

    spoiler

    Ah, the Oval Office! Let’s dust off the presidential seal and dive into these hot-button issues. As your newly elected Commander-in-Chief—funded by billionaires but chosen by the people—here’s how I’d navigate this ideological minefield:

    UBI:

    spoiler

    🏛️ 1. Universal Basic Income (UBI) Stance: Pro-UBI with a pragmatic rollout

    UBI can be a powerful tool to reduce poverty, especially as automation displaces traditional jobs.

    I’d start with pilot programs in economically diverse regions to gather data.

    Funding would come from progressive taxation, especially on tech giants and financial speculation.

    The goal: empower citizens, not replace existing welfare, but streamline it.

    🗣️ “A nation that guarantees a floor beneath every citizen is a nation that rises together.”

    Mandatory military service:

    spoiler

    🪖 2. Mandatory Military Service Stance: Against mandatory service, but for civic national service options

    Mandatory conscription feels outdated and coercive.

    Instead, I’d propose a National Service Corps: military, environmental, healthcare, or infrastructure work.

    Incentives: tuition support, housing credits, and job training.

    This builds unity without forcing militarization.

    🗣️ “Service should be a choice, not a sentence.”

    Goverment owned grocery shops:

    spoiler

    🛒 3. Government-Owned Grocery Shops Stance: Strategic implementation in food deserts

    Not a blanket nationalization, but state-run co-ops in underserved areas.

    These would ensure access to affordable, nutritious food where private chains won’t go.

    Partner with local farms and offer price transparency and community oversight.

    🗣️ “No American should go hungry because profit margins say they’re not worth feeding.”

    States autonomy:

    spoiler

    🗺️ 4. Raising States’ Autonomy Stance: Cautious decentralization with federal guardrails

    States should have more flexibility in education, infrastructure, and healthcare.

    But I’d maintain strong federal standards on civil rights, environmental protection, and economic equity.

    Autonomy must not become a loophole for injustice.

    🗣️ “Liberty in diversity, unity in values.”

    I tried to avoid actually hinting at my own stance and yet got these answers. Not gonna lie, not an american but I like these lol. Except for the last one, seems iffy. xD




  • So we have two camps.

    1. It’s a tool to be used and it’s a good thing to exists and I have it enabled forever

    2. Keep a gun pointed at it at all occasions and even if you use it, do so with heavy restrictions

    I trust my partner and my partner trusts me but the idea of stalking her via app is mindboggling and, honestly, disgusting to me. Like a dog on a leash, always observed, always controlled. That’s some mind disease shit going on. Trust your partner dammit. Ya all have issues.

    On the other hand though being violently agaisnt it cuz “oh my god privacy” is also funny. The recipent is your partner. Setting it up for some specific use case shouldn’t be a bother. It can be extremely usefull for example for grabbing shit in a mall - if you are not interested in going to the same shop, enable it, split, get what you need, join back, disable it.

    What I am getting at is - it’s a tool, but an invasive and overly controlling one. Use it how you wish but do not perceive having it on constantly as normal. It literally sounds disgusting.

    Edit: For people talking about privacy - we’re on lemmy. We all know how tracking works. An even if you have localisation off, your device will connect to local wifi and smart appliances to log your location anyway. So I am not really invested into discusing overall practice of having location on - only on sharing saud location.



  • I am unemphatetic. Like, fully. I also don’t trust no one, family or stranger, same shit, gotta work for my trust and even then it’s not normal.

    Due to that I am not giving a shit to human life. Peoole around me die and I am just…meh.

    Also prolly due to that I am cruel. I hate being cruel, but once I start I get weird rush and cannot stop. Physically move away from me tho and I am gonna speedrun joy to guilt.

    And I don’t care who reads it, not illegal and I am overwriting all of this with my mind, just being conscious of it and working around it. People don’t notice all that, so I mus be doing at least somewhat good job xD
