    Valve kills its retail gift card program due to scammers

    So probably not an issue many people think of. A lot of disabled people aren't allowed to control their own bank accounts and aren't allowed to have debit cards. Often people with memory issues or on disability for psychological reasons. My girlfriend is agoraphobic, social security says this...

    Afroman keeps trolling cops after winning “Lemon Pound Cake” defamation case

    Afroman is not MAGA he ran for president as an independent against Trump. The primary pillars of his platform were legalization, regulation and taxation of controlled substances and sex work and an end to qualified immunity. He also led a fuck Trump chant last time I saw him in concert. Edit*...

    Valve compares its loot boxes to Labubus in lawsuit defense

    As a New Yorker I am starting to get pretty annoyed with AG James, she keeps bringing suits that seem like they are reasonably meant to protect New Yorkers but her proposed remedies are always insane, like her demanding valve collect more personal information on all users worldwide or that they...

    Interplay co-founder and pioneering game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at 62

    RIP Interplay pretty much was my childhood. Also had no idea she worked on the ports of so many of my favorites (AvP, Baldurs Gate, Might and Magic), hell of a career.

    Strange, unique, and otherwise noteworthy PCs and PC accessories from CES 2025

    One more writer weighing in. A word counter on my keyboard would drive me nuts. The last thing I need when drafting is to be reminded I need to cut my word count in half before the final draft. I type on a Ducky One 3 TKL that I customized to have stiffer switches for the number and function...

    With kiss on the cheek, father may have spread incurable virus to kid

    I have Shingles, first outbreak was at age 9, second on my 25th birthday, third when I was 29. The third outbreak was in my throat, I have a PFO (small hole in my heart) so my primary care doctor gave me the shingles vaccine out of pocket as my insurance wouldn't cover it before age 55. I am...

    There’s never been a better time to get into Fallout 76

    Maybe some people experienced crippling bugs. I played it in on PC from beta until the series X came out then switched from PC to Xbox, a few thousand hours between them and I never experienced any crippling bugs and my laptop was kind of a piece of shit. Fallout 2 is my favorite game of all...

    There’s never been a better time to get into Fallout 76

    Doubling down on being wrong doesn't make you right. The game had over 100 hours of quests at launch. I played from beta until last year I don't give a shit what some youtuber says about it. I played it.

    There’s never been a better time to get into Fallout 76

    None of this is correct. The game at launch had an extensive questlines, all of which is still there and fully playable. New events do not replace old events. There are private servers with changeable game parameters. And it does not use the same engine as Morrorwind, it uses an upgraded...

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    So this is a cool and informative post, but Fallout occurs in an alternate timeline in which most infrastructure is considerably more robust and there is reason to believe nuclear weapons trended smaller rather than larger as they advanced, see the Fatman. At the point where timelines diverge...

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    Yeah that contingent definy exists in the Fallout fandom and it's a shame. Fallout 2 is my favorite game ever, but isometric turn based games aren't for everyone. Modern 3D Fallout is great and there are modern takes on the old Fallout formula if you want them: Wasteland 2 and 3 made by several...

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    Character editor can help with that annoyance as well. I have played 1 and 2 vanilla plenty of times but when I go back these days I often max my characters specials, max their carry weight and start all their skills at 60.

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    I consider Fallout 4 the worst of the Fallout games. It's still a great game that I have put over a thousand hours into. No hate here man. Fallout Tactics and the board games are also great. Wasteland 2 and 3, The Outer Worlds, Atom RPG and Turograd all great. Hell even Fallout Shelter and...

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    Well I considered myself a super fan and am incredibly pumped. I thought the trailer was great, they nailed the look, I don't care if things are clean. Walton Goggins is one of the finest TV actors in existence, most of the people involved are talented. I do wish they got Ron Perman to do the...

    Presence of Gulpers means that either Far Harbor or Fallout 76 have lore import.

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    Agreed it's weird they are overseer unless all of the people in the vault are mutated but vault experiments and vault leaks are well established in lore.

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    Ok I can see that argument. I wasn't thinking full on military anyway, more like a small gang selling some chems, stock piling a few weapons. So I think we are kind of on the same page there.

    Here’s a Fallout super fan’s analysis of the first trailer for the TV series

    As to whether or not you should play it before the show that's up to you but I absolutely recommend you play them. Chronological order is Fallout 76, Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Fallout 4. I would recommend playing them Fallout 1, 2, NV, 3, 4 and then 76. Fallout 1 and 2 are...
