After playing Fallout 1 and comparing it with New Vegas, the conclusion that they're both very different games is obvious, but one thing I'd lile to draw attention to is how Fallout 1 integrates a less combat oriented character better than New Vegas, at least as far as the "main story" goes.

Playing Fallout 1, I did the same as I did on New Vegas, but with much better results, thanks to two things: no action elements and how Charisma works in Fallout 1.

I tried creating in both games a character who is not super physically fit and solves most problems with diplomacy, cunning or inteligence, such as negotiating, fixing things and so forth. Not strictly a pacifist, but a scientist, rather. And thus, his skills in combat pale to dedicated fighters.

In New Vegas, charisma allows your companions to deal more damage, which is nice, but it being an action RPG, even when my character has a pitiful 20 gun stat, I feel my accuracy and FPS skills outperform much more my stats, to the point where despite barely putting points in it, I still feel like I'm god damn Clint Eastwood.

Comparing this with fallout 1, where not having enough on the stat was enough to make your turns be wasted and you dying and a non combat character was, actually, weak in combat.

You amp that up with Charisma dictating how many companions you can have and having Ian so close to the starting point and him CLEARLY outperforming you in combat, you really feel HE'S a seasoned adventurer.

New Vegas' action combat makes pitiful combat stats not matter as much as your gunplay prowess. Another problem which is further increased by bethesda's engine's "pause midcombat, scarf 7 steaks and put 8 stimpacks before resuming combat" strategy still ruling supreme makes combat more skill based than character based. Even hardcore mode doesn't negate this enough. The problem lies on the pausing with no loss of momentum, compared to spending 4 AP to open your menu in Fallout 1. I'd argue that it should be 4 AP to do something on the menu to precent stimpack spam there, but it's already better than Modern fallout in any case.

In any case. I still love New vegas. But it invites much more to be a resourceful cowboy than someone non combative.

For real, though. Getting to snipe someone just fine with a revolver while still having both arms broken felt a little too much for me.

NO REST FOR THE ARMIES OF HELL -- NEVER ENOUGH FIREPOWER TO HALT THE FLOOD.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the original "DOOM" (1993) cover art (upscaled, text removed). Original artwork by Don Ivan Punchatz. Source: nukedspacemarine (via Reddit).

MINI-OVERVIEW: "Blood, gore, viscera, shotguns, demons, chainsaws, violence, and heavy metal. These staples encapsulate what is means to play a game in the "DOOM" series. From the classic "DOOM" to the divisive "DOOM 3," all the way to the upcoming "DOOM: Eternal," these games have been monolithic in defining what video games are and what they can do.

It would be difficult to argue that the modern day first person shooter (FPS) genre would have become what it is if "DOOM" had never existed. From "Quake" to "Turok," "Half-Life" to "Bioshock," gaming has been molded by the steps "DOOM" took to create one of the most visually appealing, mechanically engaging, and downright visceral gaming experience gamers had ever seen.

Nearly three decades later, the series is still going strong, and the echoes of the original "DOOM’s" rise to prominence can still be heard every time you boot up a game that plays from a first person perspective. Every legend has a beginning however, and the Demonslayer is no exception."

Alright LMK fandom I have a possibly crack (and niche) fic idea for a reader insert. Specifically sun wukong x reader but I'm a slow burn bitch so it's not gonna seem like that for the better half of it

Here's the pitch:

Wukong finds an old and possibly very dangerous artifact, what it does isn't important since it's literally just a Mcguffin. Funnily enough though, it's also doing part-time as a trophy to a local e-sports event. Mk and the gang have to get the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands. And also because Wukong just might want it a little bit, y'know just to have. For whatever reason they can't just steal it, so they actually have to try and win it.

Not only do they suck at this particular video game (It's probably Valorant or some other fps games) but they also just don't have enough members. (I imagine Tang, Pigsy and Sandy are actually just hopeless, while MK and Mei have at least played some shooters. Wukong really wants that artifact. Red Son can optional be dragged in too) In addition, you have to be a certain rank in-game to even enter the competition.

Finally entering from left stage: the reader, who is a pro gamer

Acquaintances with Mei, Reader does that thing where you pay them to carry you to higher ranked lobbies and get more RR. So Mei calls them up for that exact thing.

This is where we get a proper look into just how bad they are at the game.

MK chose the coolest looking character and stuck to them despite not knowing shit about how to play the character

Red Son can't aim for his life, and can't seem to get a hang of any of the characters

Wukong stuck with the healer character but uses all the heals for himself, completely ignoring the rest of the character's abilities

Mei is admittedly the best out of all of them, going in and killing at least two enemies. However she rushes in without teammates and dies pretty quickly after

Finally, none of them know the callouts because let's be honest videogame callouts is its own language.

All this is admittedly pretty frustrating for the Reader who threatens to leave them. 'I don't care how much you pay me at this point, it isn't worth it'

So while the others frantically explain that 'it's to save the world' and 'it might be dangerous if we don't'. But all the Monkey King has to do is piss them off and out of spite, Reader is gonna coach the hell out of them.

Smash cut to montage time where they slowly work on their skills and figure out how to work as a team (If I stick with Valorant, I could honestly go into detail on what playstyle they would have and how it works as an actual comp) As well as grinding the game to get the needed ranks

Whatever the video game, Reader fills in for support as much as necessary. They seem disgruntled by it the whole time and needs plenty of breathers between games to calm down. because hOW CAN I HEAL YOU WHEN YOU'RE ACTIVELY BEING SHOT

Now, we pause the epic gamer montage for some team bonding. The gang takes a break to do more physical activities! MK and Wukong convince (Mostly MK but Wukong never goes against it) the Reader to try out training with them, Mei thinks it'd be cathartic to let the Reader race. Reader gets to meet the Two dads and Sandy. All around fun stuff outside the godforsaken video-game. We also learn a little bit more about the Reader. (This would be a good time to amp up the romantic shenanigans as well) As much as she can be very mean during the game, they're honest to god very thoughtful and considerate. Though one could note that it technically follows over to their role as the healer/support. Why are they so rude and angry in-game then?

Well I'd tell you but at this point I might as well write the fic as I've went overboard with this post already

Come as we explore strange new video codecs 🔍🖖🎥

Our last few experiments with playing video+audio on the ESP32-S3 involved converting an MP4 to MJpeg + MP3, where MJpeg is just a bunch of jpegs glued together in a file, and MP3 is what you expect. This works, but we maxed out at 10 or 12 fps on a 480x480 display. You must manage two files, and the FPS must be hardcoded. With this demo https://github.com/moononournation/aviPlayer we are using avi files with Cinepak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinepak and MP3 encoding - a big throwback to when we played quicktime clips on our Centris 650. The decoding speed is much better, and 30 FPS is easily handled, so the tearing is not as visible. The decoder keeps up with the SD card file, so you can use long files. This makes the board a good option for props and projects where you want to play ~480p video clips with near-instant startup and want to avoid the complexity of running Linux on a Raspberry Pi + monitor + audio amp. The only downside right now is the ffmpeg cinepak encoder is reaaaaallly slooooow.

A thing I noticed about Fall Out 3 and 4

So, I was watching H.Bomberguy’s video on Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas, and I realized something.

Bethesda writes their Fallout games like they should be TV shows or movies.

The general gripes I hear about Fallout 3 and 4 is that they retcon a great deal of FO1 and 2′s lore, have black-and-white morality systems, and really amp up the more violent aspects of the franchise over story or character-driven narratives.

I, largely, agree. Fallout 3 is a slough for me because I don’t like the FPS elements of it- and the only way I can really make any meaningful progression in the game is to ditch the more social aspects of it. Fallout 4 is very similar, but I feel the problem is minimized by giving you a host of secondary companion characters... Though, I don’t think the game punishes you (really) for making any personal stances.

So let’s cycle back to the whole show or movie thing. If we were to take the plot of Fo3 and make a movie of it: the concept sounds AMAZING. A Vault-dweller trying to find their father in the dying wastes of a post-apocalyptic Washington DC, learning to become hardened alongside a host of smaller characters who walk in and out of their life while they desperately try to save their father, and maybe all of the remaining world?

Badass.

Bread & Fred [DEMO]: Improved Steam Remote Play Quality Mod.

My girlfriend and I wanted to play Bread & Fred together using steam remote play. However our combined internet isn’t the best for streaming, so at times the remote play quality suffers. I don’t know too much about the way steam streams remote play, but I do know that typically bitrate drops with movement in video. I figured that the intense snowfall probably isn’t good for the bitrate, so I decided to create a mod that disables it. We haven’t had a chance to test it properly, so I don’t know the exact quality gain if any, but in theory it should help? Note: This mod was made for the Bread & Fred DEMO and has not been tested and will likely not work with the full release.

I figured I would release it in case other people are suffering from bad remote play quality, in hopes that it’ll help someone. The snow can also be a little annoying, so if anyone just wants to remove it, you can use this.

I don’t think there’ll be a performance increase FPS wise. It’s hard to tell since I don’t exactly have performance issues with the game, but if you’re trying to increase your FPS, give it a shot and let me know if it works. In theory it shouldn’t do much because the particles are still there but just transparent. I think it depends on how they’re rendered, and I don’t know much about Unity and the way it does rendering, shaders, and particle systems. The downside of removing the snow, is that it kind of ruins the atmosphere, but I suppose sacrifices have to be made.

Here is a before and after picture

The mod works by simply making the snow particles transparent. To use, download the modified assets file below.

Download: sharedassets0.assets

Please note: This file contains game assets and I do not own its contents and neither do you. Distributing this file likely violates SandCastles Studio’s terms and/or copyright. I will promptly remove the download if asked by the creators. Navigate to the Bread&Fred installation folder by either right clicking the game in your steam library and hovering over manage, then clicking the “Browse local files” button, or by navigating to it manually using the file explorer. 

Steam Library: Bread & Fred Demo > Manage > Browse local files

The path should look something like this

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Bread & Fred Demo

Now open the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder. The path should now be something like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Bread & Fred Demo\Bread&Fred_Data

In the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder, find the already existing file named “sharedassets0.assets” and create a copy/backup of it. This is important so that you can restore the original assets later. I typically just rename it to something like “sharedassets0.assets.unmodded” After you have created a backup or named the file Drag and drop the modified “sharedassets0.assets” file into the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder. Windows may prompt you to replace it, double check to make sure you have a copy before replacing.

After that the mod should be active, start the game and enjoy the snowfall free experience! To remove the mod, simply delete the modified “sharedassets0.assets” and restore it with the original file that you backed up.

1920s hair

The 1920s were split between two major events- the aftermath of world war one and the financial crash that lead onto the Great Depression causing many changes in the styles of women throughout the era. In the 1920s it was serious business if a woman cut her hair as long hair was seen as feminine and short hair was seen as masculine. Dancer Irene castle was one of the first women to get a Bob haircut in 1915 after this many celebrities followed and eventually long hair was being restyled into short bobs however if you had long hair it would be neatly arranged within a bun with sides full of waves or curls needing to be flat to fit a hat over the top. Even with the effort to maintain long hair within a bun most women were taking the risk and chopping their long hair off by 1924. In the early twenties frizzy curls and waves on the side of the face were the preference however as the era went on smother more sculptured waves were prioritised. Curling irons with wooden handles and round iron shafts were heated over a coal or gas flame to get the desired wave or curl look although it damaged the hair more than curling it. When all women started bobbing their hair they couldn’t go to a salon as they didn’t even exist yet so it was in the hands of a trustworthy friend or a men’s Barber. Barbers had to quickly learn how to cut women’s hair as it was in high demand and everyone wanted this hairstyle which was a shock at the time because a men’s sacred place had been invaded with women who wanted to “look like a man” and by the end of the twenties women only salons exploded keeping the short neat and curly hair in fashion. The shock of the Bob didn’t come well to some people and many people had gotten criticism and disapproving looks or comments however not all people had not liked it and quite a few people had approved of the look and quite liked it.
