It's important to note that a college administrative staff is not the same as its faculty. These are not teachers, professors or researchers. These are effectively the college's C-suite.

It's also way too long. I was ready to wrap it up once I got into the casino proper, but then had to do a bunch more shit inside. Bioware slog in Fallout is not fun.
Now that someone else owns it, there are cheers across the internet and a good chance that much like Defector, 404 and Aftermath it'll start to become the new basis of online media.
Literally almost all because of Herb Spanfeller, king of the dipshits.
Also, hilariously, The Onion likely wouldn't have been affordable had the Herb actually been able to run the publications they acquired.
Spanfeller and company managed to just shred any value the mastheads had until it essentially became a fire sale.
So fun fact: The Onion takeover started when I posted "so uh how do we buy The Onion?" on Bluesky.
@leilza.bsky.social then reached out to me with a LinkedIn message and the below email.
Then we got @strle.bsky.social looped in and it got very real.

I believe so.
Like Bethesda was *so salty* that everyone called them out on that bullshit.
Doesn't the "fixed" version still basically call you a coward for making the obviously-sensible choice to ask a radiation -immune friend to go into the heavily-irradiated Ending Switch room?
Yes, but you're forgetting WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
I can't definitively confirm but I've heard from a friend more familiar with the game that apparently the outfit they're upset was supposedly removed is apparently still in the game? And the "censored" one is just a different outfit
Which if true makes this whole "petition" even more lolworthy
If a barnacle could make violent humping motions, yes.
Of course it’s Kern. And Christ, he’ll just latch onto ANYTHING like a needy barnacle, huh?
The reason the protests on campuses keep growing is because they keep sending out police to beat on them.
Fuck's sake if Columbia had just let the protest come and go of its own accord this would have all been over and done by now but OH NO gotta release the paramilitary ...
That said, a Democratic mayor should know better than to set them loose on non-violent protesters.
Not that it doesn't matter, but it's important to note that local government has almost zero control of the police under them.
They're more or less legalized gangs and have a history of turning on local government that attempts to bring them to heel.
(Like holy shit the release version ending of Fallout 3 was so goddamned stupid)
How did I forget Broken Steel?
It's decidedly mid, and honestly is the first time I saw a publisher try to patch their own failed storyline post-release. Otherwise it's just a coda that also serves to allow you to continue to play the game after completing the main quest. Not real exciting.
Once you've unlocked a bunch more robot parts via Armorer, Blacksmith and Science perks, you'll find the monkey head as a variant of the Sentry head.
And you get entirely different dialogue if you confront the Mechanist wearing the Silver Shroud costume.
Monkey head? Where? What have I never heard of this?!
I need this now!!!
Also what do you Mena by more silver shroud content? I feel like i am missing a lot from this dlc.
Running a little behind again today (sorry) but with any luck we'll have Fallout going by 5PM ET. See you then!
Point Lookout:
One questline that feels pointless between two characters with zero motivations (or at least any available to you), a grab bag of stumble-upon quests and enemies that cheat by ignoring your armor. You'll need ENDGAME GEAR to fight Larry, his cousin Darryl and his other cousin Darryl.
Lonesome Road:
SHUT UP CHRIS AVELLONE.
PLEASE. PLEASE CHRIS AVELLONE CAN YOUR AUTHOR INSERT SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FIVE FUCKING MINUTES.
FOR JUST FIVE MINUTES PLEASE. PLEASE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING *POINT* YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE IS JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP JESUS CHRIST PLEASE.
Dead Money:
First they take all your gear, then they force you to run around a maze with brand new companions, and the new enemies are overpowered and frustrating. There's some neat ideas here and there but goddamn the execution is rage inducing. It becomes anti-fun in short order.
Operation Anchorage:
Hey kids, do you want all the end game shit handed to you one hour after you start Fallout 3? Then Operation Anchorage is for you! Not only is it ridiculously short, it has very little commentary about the war you're witnessing and then bam, power armor at level 5. Pointless.
Honest Hearts:
I appreciated what they tried to do with this one, including pulling in more of what Obsidian had planned for the original cancelled Fallout 3. But it's easy to get lost running around, the quests are repetitive and dull, and in the end it's just not very much fun. Forgettable.
The Pitt:
Jesus fucking Christ.
No, really, Jesus FUCKING CHRIST what the FUCK.
I appreciate the ambiguity of the ending and there being no really "good" solution to the place, but holy fucking shit the Pitt is a dirge. It's just constant despair and horror with no relief valve. Not very Fallout.
Nuka-World:
Fallout 4 suffers from a lack of "evil" options, with your morality more or less on rails due to the nature of settlements and the Minutemen. Nuka-World was an attempt to fix this and it might have had it not been behind a *LEVEL 30* difficulty, meaning you have to go good before evil.
Vault-Tec Workshop:
Overall storywise, it's pretty weak. The idea of "build your own Vault, complete with insane experiments" is nice on paper, but the execution is lacking. Still, you DO get to build a Vault to your own liking and it makes for a sweet base in the end.
Mothership Zeta:
Where previously Fallout had just winked at the player over all this alien stuff, MZ goes fucking *nanners* with it. But if you can set aside concerns over just how aliens fit in, the plot is weird and turning the aliens' ship into pure chaos is a hoot.
Automatron:
Not only does it slip fairly seamlessly into the base game, not only does it give you more Silver Shroud content, but robot building is FUN. Turning Codsworth into a demon tank with a toy monkey head is FUN. And seeing the origin of the Robobrains was great. Enjoyed it start to finish.
Far Harbor:
While it's separate from the main Commonwealth, it still feels like a part of it. Arguably it handles the synth storyline better than the Railroad or Institute plots, and it gives Nick Valentine a far better companion quest than the one in the base game.
Good story, good performances.
My reasonings:
Old World Blues had one rule: be weird. Does it make sense? Nope. Does it leave the player with an incredibly overpowered home base in the end? Oh hell yes. But it's filled with great performances and laugh-out-loud writing while still being pure Fallout.
Mid-2000s DLC design:
1) Remove all the player's gear
2) Make it a simulation
3) Bullet sponges
4) Let the enemies ignore rules from the main game
5) Prevent companions from joining
6) A mix and match of all of the above
The setting is the least of its problems.
The main issue is mid-2000s DLC design shit: in order to deal with a character that's beaten most of the main game, they let the enemies ignore your damage resistance and damage threshold.
You can face tank a Deathclaw, but get one-shotted by hillbillies.
Well crude, I liked it. I know it was set in Maryland but the denizens reminded me of family in Bama.
My best-to-worst Fallout DLC list, not counting any that just add weapons or stuff without storylines:
Old World Blues
Far Harbor
Automatron
Mothership Zeta
Vault-Tec Workshop
Broken Steel
Nuka-World
The Pitt
Honest Hearts
Operation Anchorage
Dead Money
Lonesome Road
Point Lookout
Now that I've finally played it after all these years, I can say with certainty that Point Lookout is the absolute worst Fallout DLC I've ever experienced.
Congrats, Point Lookout. You beat out Lonesome Road.
Actually, here's what's happening:
Elon and his ilk are aggressive in all things, and believe that their aggression should be rewarded. When it isn't - when it's frowned upon, in fact - they feel as though they're being cheated their due.
Bullies are like that.
Discovery:
... well, I guess we couldn't just leave the Breen a total mystery forever, huh?
And nice to see a time honored Trek tradition of using sets from sister shows as other ships still lives on ...
Why is it "You just want Trump to win!" and never "Jesus Christ we need Biden to change course"?
Goddamn still pitching a tantrum that Biden won't give y'all that interview huh
Break out the hipwaders and prepare for banjos, because we're off to Point Lookout!
Fallout 3 time!

I swear to god if I get one more "well actually" today someone is going in a well, actually.
And no you do not have permission to deliberately fuck with me so sit the fuck down.
Just in case these kids were in middle school before we put police abuse and corruption center stage, the cops are being thoughtful enough to offer them a remedial college course.

Going to start the Fallout stream a little later today at 5pm ET. See you then!
It would be real neat given there's a major Fallout 4 update tomorrow if Bethesda could re-release the PipBoy smartphone app.
I would much rather this thing is repealed because a wedge issue isn't worth as much as all the women who could die between now and an election. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
