Watched the premier episode of #Fallout and #AmazonPrime not only ran ads before the show but interrupted the show 3-4 times to play unskippable ads. 😡
Ads before were bad enough, but this is absolutely jarring & bullshit for a service I pay for.
Can't even seem to find any info about an ad-free tier for Canadian subscribers.
Really makes the "oh, it's streaming on Prime" discovery into a disappointment than good news.
@syntaxseed@kboyd I turned off renewal on my Amazon Prime because of this. I’m sure no one is measuring rage over there, but I hope someone is measuring the correlation.
@ramsey@syntaxseed this wouldn't be so bad if tv shows were still made to have adbreaks. but often times they will just cut it in the middle of a conversation because the timer said so.
Si quelqu'un l'a achetée à l'époque et souhaite s'en séparer à un prix raisonnable (sur eBay c'est du grand n'importe quoi), contactez-moi :)
Retoots appréciés :)
En buvant le café, je me relance dans une activité que je n'avais pas pratiquée depuis... 20 ans. On va peindre des figurines #NCR. Et voir si j'ai un peu gardé la main.
Właśnie przeczytałem, że główny wątek w #Fallout4 jest jedną z jego mocnych stron. Autor tego zdania musi mieć naprawdę nisko postawioną poprzeczkę :D
A poważniej - doceniam w tej grze główny wątek za to, że wybory gracza mają wpływ nie tylko na zakończenie. One sprawiają wrażenie, że mają duży wpływ na świat gry i to jest fajne, chociaż chciałbym więcej.
Fajne jest też to, że cały główny wątek jest dosyć spójny i nieprzesadnie prostoliniowy, ale nie nazwałbym go dobrym. Fajny jest sam początek, wprowadzenie z mocniejszym akcentem. A potem jest... miałko (pomijam i tak to, że zwyczajnie nie lubię wątku syntków)
Nawet zwrot akcji w momencie odnalezienia Shauna (w teorii dobra rzecz) następuje trochę za wcześnie, bo nie mamy okazji znielubić kierownika Instytutu (w sensie konkretnej osoby), żeby odnalezienie Shauna było znaczącym zwrotem.
Z pewnością twórcom serialu #Fallout udało się na tyle dobrze odwzorować typy postaci z gry, że odświeżając sobie #Fallout4, aż musiałem sprawdzić czy Norm MacLean z serialu i Neil Freund z F4, to nie jakaś rodzina :D
#Fallout - the post-apocalyptic game set in an alternate, atomic-powered reality - kicks off our new Campaigns & Coffee short-format podcast. With the sound of laughter echoing through the vast caverns of the Lair, hosts Ken, David, and Josh talk about the new #Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime, the video games that inspired it, and the session zero for our upcoming #Fallout2d20 actual play.
@lairofsecrets It is such a relief to get Season 4 out there.
Life's been challenging for the crew over the last few months. I'm supremely grateful that we're still able to get together to chat, laugh, sling some dice, and geekout about things like #Fallout
i haven't seen anyone talk about this project, and i can't believe how fast it has matured since i peeked in on it last year.
Fallout 1 & 2 Community Edition are full-on reverse engineered re-implementations of the game engines for win/mac/linux/ios/android.
FO1 was never much of a problem, because it ran very well in dosbox for decades. but FO2 was always another story - it was a 32-bit windows-only title, and it's always been a real pain in the ass to run.
I played a lot of (too much of?) #Fallout 3 and NEW VEGAS from the late aughts through the early 2010s but it’s only on seeing the TV series and replaying FNV that I realized: hey, the worst bastards in the setting are all revanchists, accelerationists, or revanchist accelerationists.
I think it’s because the TV series really hammers the point home in a way that the games maybe don’t, even though it’s a strong through line in the series.
My favorite #fallout fun fact will always be that this song (as with most of the soundtrack) is actually from the sixes for real
Atom Bomb Baby is another great one. I guess the Big Iron On His Hip meme is probably Fallout's fault too, even though I think that was well known before
@SirTapTap Fallout do have a nice story, but I like the affecting gameplay-lines e.g. hometown to be Megaton or instead that other city
remembers me of "Teudogar & the alliance with Rome" as downloadgame (removed quite a while), but also "Fable 2" (a game on consoles) with either a bright halo or devil's horns, if karma's nice or bad
Le documentaire "The Atomic Café", sorti en 1982, a eu une influence considérable sur les thèmes, le ton et l'esthétique du premier #Fallout.
Le film est entièrement disponible sur YouTube dans une version restaurée et mérite le coup d'œil. C'est un regard sur l'Amérique de la guerre froide, sa paranoïa et son obsession pour l'atome.
North Carolina bans medical masks (seriously), US/UK/NZ surging, covid 60% deadlier than influenza, weird new variant symptoms, US: no fall vax for uninsured, covid ripping through New Zealand schools, rAW MiLk eNTHusIaSTs, masking on the Fallout set, and more.
Heute ab 20:00 im Stream: Wir spielen das #Fallout RPG von MODIPHIUS. Eevie leitet und es spielen: Mháire, Bananepic, Weteeff, Walker und Moritz! twitch.tv/orkenspaltertv
Das fantastische Teaserbild stammt von der ebenso fantastischen Schlipsheim https://www.instagram.com/schlipsheim/
@mentallyalex lol Skyrim is like that for me. Such a deep an interesting game. Easy to become the character you're playing and immerse yourself in that world. Heck, I may end up playing both Fallout 4 and Skyrim again now. I especially like the Dwarven architecture in Skyrim. Both intimidating and spectacular.
@Adam_Cadmon1 Oh my gosh, me too! My first "play through" I suppose you'd call it, I finished the dwarven questlines and really didn't want to.
Like many when video games took off in popularity I had contemplated trying my hand at developing them. I knew a few in the industry and really backed off once I learned how difficult a hill it was to climb. For every one Todd Howard there are about a million not Todd Howards. :blobcatlaugh:
Developing video game franchises seems like being an author on hardmode. Like, you have the same problems authors have, with a more niche environment, more restrictions, and fewer friends. :blobcatgiggle:
Imagine growing up in a bunker and everyone you know growing up in that same bunker only to learn your dad is 200 years old, the ultimate Company man and the world had been shaped to fit the desires of that Company? #Fallout
Co jakiś czas trafiam na jakieś materiały i filmiki dotyczące Fallouta (serialu i gier).
To jest ciekawe, że w grze, która miała jeden z najlepszych systemów wyborów, który realnie wpływał na zakończenia oraz świat gry, ludzie jako "kanoniczne" przyjmują tylko jedną linię historii i zakończenie :)
It's really funny that #Fallout tries to make a statement by making huge wads of Pre War money worth 1 cap like other clutter...but they fucked up by giving it 0 weight actually making it fantastic (but very limited in amount) currency gameplay-wise
"Although bottle caps cannot be dropped, they can be put into other containers (e.g. for safekeeping). However, if you place any in an owned container, you will lose Karma for taking them back out."
Bethesda, please
I just want to play ONE game where I don't have to assume my character is a thief because it is completely impossible to NOT steal
Fresh out the oven, version 0.8.5 of the open source space game #OutFly!
✅ New flashlight
✅ Redesigned HUD, with #Fallout-4-like bars for health/power/O2, and #car-dashboard-like warning lights
✅ New, well-balanced cruising vehicle
✅ Implemented power drain
✅ Much improved texture for #Jupiter
Btw, see how the hat of the #pizza chef doesn't cast a shadow? Because it ain't real! Just an #AR illusion, which you can toggle with <TAB> :)
