Fallout 76 is just ... not it. It's fun sometimes, but it's very limited compared to a full-on single player Fallout game.
And what's on offer in the Fallout 76 "Atom Store" (yuck) would maybe hit a little better if build limits didn't mean you couldn't use half of it.
Awesome if you like Fortnite. Hope you enjoy.
Yet I can't help but think the reason this is happening is that Bethesda completely did not have their shit together to provide their own Fallout stuff to take advantage of this moment.
Fortnite has officially announced that a Fallout collaboration is coming with Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked.

Hey folks:
Two hours until my stream start time, and I'm keeping a close eye on my connection. Had a few instances of significant packet loss, but it's been intermittent.
I'll proceed as if we're going to give it a try today, and I'll keep you apprised as we approach 4pm ET.
I don't know how to tell the younger generation about Ed Grimley but I feel like we owe them some kind of explanation.
I had to fight tooth and nail to get an appointment for next Tuesday.
This is packet loss. This is noise on the line causing signals issues. In addition, my modem's event logs are showing repeated T3 time-outs indicating the connection keeps being reset.
Turning it on and off don't fix that.
Explaining we've had this issue before - repeatedly - and it's always been line hardware that's been damaged or faulty, from repeaters to hardware damage at the hub, and we've always needed a line tech to repair it.
"okay can you run a speed test"
Slowly explaining that we've rebooted the computer, the modem, the router several times, tried it on both wired and wireless connections, tried it directly connected to an ethernet cable, and it's still showing high packet loss.
"okay can you clear your Google browser"
"Hi, thank you for calling (ISP), how can we help you today?"
"We have up to 20% packet loss. It's been going on since Friday. We've had this issue before and it needed a line technician to repair. I'd like to make an appointment."
"... okay can you reboot your modem"
Sorry, everyone. My stupid ISP has screwed up the lines again.
Going to have to call and convince them to get out here and fix whatever's wrong because 20% packet loss in unworkable.
We'll try again tomorrow.

In fairness, they're teens.
But also in fairness, if you get rushed to the hospital because you can't handle your high, you shouldn't be fucking with drugs yet. Maybe ever.
Eight teens were taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon after they ingested cannabis edibles during a field trip to the La Brea Tar Pits, authorities said.

What's happening is that Tina has a specific overlay for her makeup, and that file is missing or corrupted.
Hence the "I would like to apologize for my racially insensitive Halloween costume" look.
A little before and after demonstrating Tina's "Next Gen" makeover.
So if you've updated to the Fallout 4 Next Gen patch and go by Vault 81, for some unfathomable reason Dr. Pensky and Tina De Luca are both wearing brownface.
Things are going great.
It's not working on these two specific NPCs, and neither are most that were made to fix the issue.
They're just stuck that way.

Just to mention because I know it's hard to get definitive pricing right now, but the A100 is woefully out of date. Its successor the H100 usually runs about $30,000 each, or more depending on supply problems. The Blackwell cards are going to be worse.

Trying to get my thyroid meds rebalanced is a lot.
I went from struggling to stay awake even when I was fully rested to being unable to determine if I'm tired because I'm completely conscious without a hint of weariness.

Pretty much it comes down to "if I'm not allowed to slap your child then I'm calling the cops to do it and you can take it up with them."
We're doing just fine in America, yes sir ...
Well, there's a lot of teachers, principles and even school board members who resent that they're not allowed to lay hands on their students, in part because they know of no other way to discipline them.
But cops are allowed to knock the fuck out of anybody, and they do it for free.
As someone with an autistic 7yo, this fills me with rage and fear. Who the hell calls cops on a child that age?
