Blogging to work out my thinking about issues in technology, programming, religion, and politics.
Fallout finishes its month-long 25th anniversary celebration strong with a spine-tingling Fallout 76 event, behind-the-scenes looks, in-game rewards and more.
Buried under the lede is this gem:
Awww, yiss! My playthrough is stuck because of a bug in the unofficial patch, and I can’t finish Nuka World, i.e., the best part of the whole game. I’d be glad to start over on this edition. I’m sure “2023” means something much later than I would like, but at least we finally have a year!
I’ve been continuing to play through Skyrim on my PS5, and enjoying the extra graphical power. Someone has released some mods that allow you widen the field of view, and crank up the FPS to 60 (or unlimited). Since I’m stuck at 1080p for now, naturally, it works great, and still never slows down, even with the environmental mods. I’ll be very eager to try it at 4K@120FPS some day, but, for now, it’s a very welcome addition.
Someone pointed out that Fallout 4 (which is based on the same engine) can’t be modded this way. It needs to actually be patched by Bethesda to allow for this sort of thing. Here’s hoping that they do this. 60 FPS really is quite an improvement. I played a couple of seconds of Fallout 4, and quickly decided that I won’t be doing any more of that until the mod happens.
I’m playing through Fallout 4 — again — while I wait — interminably — for the new Playstation. This guy is talking about a mod that makes it possible to destroy every faction, and I haven’t gotten very far into the explanation, but, as he’s talking, a proper nuke explodes in the middle of the Castle, and this quest name pops up:
And at this point, I lost it, and laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. Overall, it was a pretty good video.
