That said, anything modern is designed to deal with either. 20:46 < cyberanger> I didn't like the 5.56 myself, and I've done what oddball is saying with a Heckler & Koch XM8, not sure if it was the XM8 or the 5.56 round, perhaps a little of both 20:54 <@oddball> I was unaware that they put a semi-auto XM8 onto the market. 20:58 <@Dagmar> I'm pretty sure this is a thing I'll never have to worry about 20:58 <@Dagmar> If I am wrong about that, I'm going to make whoever is the reason _very_ sory 20:58 <@Dagmar> er sorry 20:58 <@oddball> heh 20:59 <@Dagmar> So... apparently the fucking casuals bought up all the blu-ray blank media over on this side of town 20:59 <@Dagmar> The Target on White Bridge is the only place I've not been to yet 21:00 <@oddball> There's this thing called Amazon that has remarkable turn around. 21:00 <@Dagmar> yeah I'm having to order from Newegg 21:11 <@Dagmar> inascime: I can't say you're wrong 21:28 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: I took all the sniper parts off the laser pistol that I got from the brotherhood and put it on that. no more getting out of the scope to reload 21:29 <@Evilpig> also, never thought of using vats for melee combat. that shit is bananas 21:29 <@Dagmar> No, it's fucking AWESOME 21:29 <@Dagmar> hehe 21:30 <@Evilpig> limbs just flying everywhere 21:30 <@Evilpig> btw I found a dagger/knife/sword thing at the bottom of a flooded hole in this quarry 21:33 <@Dagmar> Oh yeah; 21:33 <@Dagmar> I _knew_ they'd have to have a tip 'o the hat to Lovecraft in there somewhere and that was apparently it 21:43 <@Dagmar> I melee when I'm wearing the power suit 21:43 <@Dagmar> I am still missing one piece of the X-01 21:48 <@Dagmar> The X-01 with Titantium plating is just... overkill 21:49 <@Dagmar> You can just stand there and giggle while a deathclaw chews on you 21:53 < trickshotjohnny> I've tracked down two of the X-01 suits, but haven't had time to raid the locations yet 21:56 <@Dagmar> I just take everything not nailed down 21:57 <@Dagmar> I found a couple of pieces in a truck somewhere, another couple of pieces in a building 21:57 <@Dagmar> Still missing the right leg I think 21:57 <@Dagmar> I have soooo many sets of Raider II power armor 21:58 <@Dagmar> I need to go 'round and start hitting the places those guys are in blitzkrieg style so I can steal the frames before they get into them 21:58 <@Dagmar> I have a total of six frames 21:58 <@Dagmar> I wanna kit out one of my settlements _entirely_ in power armor 21:58 <@Dagmar> ...or at least have enough to where I can have 2-3 guys in each settlement with power armor on 21:59 <@Dagmar> ...assuming I can find a way to make them wear it. 21:59 <@Dagmar> I _think_ it's possible, but I've not tried yet 21:59 < trickshotjohnny> hrm... I don't know of a way to make them enter the suits 21:59 <@Dagmar> I know if you forget and leave the power cores in them, some idiot will invariably get into your suit when some bloatfly wanders up 21:59 <@Dagmar> ...and then you have the weird "where the hell did that asshole leave my power armor?" problem 22:00 <@Dagmar> I've watched one of my settlers jack my suit right in front of me 22:01 < trickshotjohnny> I guess if you have the caps and a spare suit, that's a good way to get them equipped, but I always take the core out of the suit that I like to wear if I'm getting out of it. 22:02 < trickshotjohnny> I'm not a fan of the settlement building minigame so much, and I've had a few places get run over and obliterated population-wise a few times 22:03 <@Dagmar> I finally got into the habit of stopping by a nearby settlment and handing out gear like candy whenever I got done clearing a place 22:03 <@Dagmar> ...after I noticed I had 62 full sets of leather stashed away 22:04 <@Dagmar> Not even kidding about that number 22:04 < trickshotjohnny> I just build turrets whenever I can now 22:04 < trickshotjohnny> you can demo radioactive containers and I put in a large water purifier in the center of the formerly irradiated pool at the drive in 22:05 < trickshotjohnny> surprised me to learn what exactly constituted cleaning up the waste 22:05 <@Dagmar> Yeah I was expecting to get buried in synths when I fired up 'The Machine' so I practically built a mall there 22:05 <@Dagmar> I have just about every kind of turret over there 22:06 <@Dagmar> ...and a large square building just bristling with the things 22:06 <@Dagmar> Settlers will still get killed if they're just running around in rags 22:06 <@Dagmar> They don't really have to care about encumbrace, so... I give 'em metal armor sets and combat armor sets when I've got them on me 22:07 < trickshotjohnny> my castle is insanely pumped up. I had a really harsh super mutant raid when I was around, but we held it after a nasty fight. 22:07 < trickshotjohnny> that's a good point, and I've just been selling spare gear I find. I could arm them a lot better, too. 22:07 <@Dagmar> I am seeing a severe drawback to coastal places like that 22:08 <@Dagmar> Apparently settlers just randomly spawn places, and then become attracted to the transmitter you set up if they're within it's radius 22:08 <@Dagmar> ...except no one spawns in the water 22:08 < trickshotjohnny> you can ring the bells and have them collect and you can send surplus settlers to your less populated ones. 22:08 <@Dagmar> I basically had to go round and _send_ all the blondes i could over to Spectacle Island 22:08 <@Dagmar> Spectacle Island is _huge_ 22:09 <@Dagmar> One _might_ wish to go ahead and go there to take advantage of a possible bug 22:10 <@Dagmar> There's a little shack on top of it with a note that impiies the speaker overhead emits feedback that chases mirelurks away 22:10 <@Dagmar> Once I activated it, mirelurks seemed to want to avoid me _wherever_ I was for awhile 22:10 < trickshotjohnny> hrm, could have used that earlier 22:10 <@Dagmar> Basically, you don't have to be sent there to make ti into a settlement 22:11 <@Dagmar> You just have to swim there, and then follow the power lines to the boat with the large generator in it, and activate that to turn on the speaker 22:11 <@Dagmar> THEN you can activate the workbench and the whole damn island is yours 22:11 < trickshotjohnny> right now, my map is mostly an X from vault 111 down to boston and then the castle, up to the airport and the prydwen, and then down left across the glowing sea and a couple of other vaults I haven't explored yet. 22:12 <@Dagmar> There's another vault I need to check out tonight 22:12 <@Dagmar> SOMEHOW I didn't already stumble across it 22:12 < trickshotjohnny> I had the silver shroud quest, and I completely didn't give a damn if that guy on the radio kicked the bucket or not 22:12 <@Dagmar> Yeah, I wasn't happy he got killed, but I wasn't going to like, reload a save to try keeping him alive 22:13 <@Dagmar> I felt like enough of a git just walking around wearing the coat 22:13 < trickshotjohnny> it apparently can be done, but you have to be incredibly fast, kill both the guys and probably already have the rest of the goons spooked because you're wearing all of the silver shroud armor and the silver machinegun 22:14 <@Dagmar> Yeah I thin kthe dude got killed about 3 seconds after I opened that door 22:14 <@Dagmar> On the bright side there are a few places where stories go off the rails more in your favor 22:14 < trickshotjohnny> I just rolled in with my power armor and heavy weapons 22:14 <@Dagmar> I had to read about what was supposed to happen after the assault in the Prywen 22:15 <@Dagmar> I kind of um... fucked that up 22:15 <@Dagmar> I was _supposed_ to go in wearing a uniform and plant some bombs and then I walked right up in front of someone who wasn't convinced 22:15 <@Dagmar> ...so I just said "Screw stealth" and killed everyone on board. 22:15 < trickshotjohnny> hey, when subtlety fails, force prevails 22:16 <@Dagmar> ...which turns out, means there was no one left to stage a retributive attack on the Castle 22:16 <@Dagmar> I was like "Elder Maxson does what?!?" and then thought... "Oh, the guy whose hat and coat are in my 'costume armor' box now" 22:17 <@Dagmar> I'm bad about missing when the game tells me somewhere is under attack 22:17 <@Dagmar> ...although when I *do* see it, I rush right over because mayhem and free gear 22:18 <@Dagmar> I am _sure_ that when the GECK comes out one of the first things we'll see are mods that make places fucking FLAT 22:18 <@Dagmar> Not even the parking lot at the drive-in is more than casually flat 22:19 <@Dagmar> ...and apparently if it means a step up without steps, settlers just decide it's too much trouble 22:19 < trickshotjohnny> yeah, I haven't seen a single reference to a GECK yet, but I did find the Vault-Tec HQ in downtown Boston and have it earmarked for later. 22:19 <@Dagmar> I wasn't going to put steps in there 22:19 <@Dagmar> I am going to do another playthrough and this time _unbind_ the tilde 22:20 <@Dagmar> Apparently if you even so much as touch the console by accident, Steam Achievements are disabled for that round of play 22:20 < trickshotjohnny> I once had Preston Garvey stuck on the roof of a house when I came to return a mission of his, and I had to build steps to get him down. 22:20 <@Dagmar> ...so I'm missing a few 22:20 < trickshotjohnny> I know he was special that moment forward. 22:21 <@Dagmar> I gotta build an actual shopping mall of sorts somewhere so I can get one settlement to 100% happiness. 22:21 <@Dagmar> I think the Drive-In is going to be that place 22:54 <@oddball> Heh... one of my friends hit it on the head: "oh, so you were all 'this is evil' when Bush created the terror watch list and the no fly list, but now you think it's great when you want to use it to take people's guns!" 22:57 <@Dagmar> Yeah I've read a few people on Facebook the riot act for pitching a fit about not getting a law they _surely_ did not want if they actually knew what it entailed 23:12 <@oddball> I'm amazed at the folks on the left that have said "Well, if you're on the terrar list, then you're clearly up to something." 23:52 < _NSAKEY> I'm amazed at how the Democrats are all for due process, protests, etc... Until they're in charge. 23:52 < _NSAKEY> Then those things are the ideas of Satan. 23:52 < _NSAKEY> Ok, "amazed." --- Log closed Sun Dec 06 00:00:13 2015
