Question: What do you use when modeling your pictures? I saw some Fallout 4 dadcready pics with Duncan (which is absolutely adorable I love it UGHHH) do what program did you use?

Hi! (Apologies for the lateness, I only just saw this in my inbox!)

Screen Archer Menu(SAM) is the tool I use! 🙌🏼

SAM has a lot of features, but the most notable are: Adding pre-made poses to characters or using the skeleton rig to adjust poses or make your own

Adjusting the placement of characters and items (also allows turning off collision - which I've found extremely helpful when I get stuck in something 😅) - you open the console to select the NPC/item. This also works for placing hats or weapons that I drop from my inventory! No collision means I can place them wherever I want 🙂

Choosing which weather you want adjust the sun placement. Add lights (if you install SOE workshop pack) Jumping to ANY exterior and interior location in the game. - Even London to Boston! 🙌🏼🤣

Editing Character's heights, add facial expressions (either animation flavours from the game or morphs) and you can access Looks Menu from SAM too!

Giving you access to every item from base game and your mods for dressing up your characters and the set. (this can be outfits and weapons, items you'd pick up in the world and even full buildings and NPS!)

As for Duncan, well, I spawned a child NPC and edited him using SAM!

Lastly, I guess storytelling plays a part, I have an idea of a scenario I want to make and then I use the tools available to make it happen, Sometimes it's as easy as dropping some poses on the characters, other times I need to get creative (that Flamingo snap is a great example of that! 🤣)

I've found myself spending upwards of an hour dressing a set and posing the characters! I find the whole process quite relaxing! 😅

can't believe garak went from 'hope you have fun following my little breadcrumb trail of maybe-truths doctor it builds character ;)' at the beginning of the show to '*sigh* fuck it here's the whole loaf. the entire fucked up bakery of my soul. if you somehow still wanna have sex with me after this you know where I am, yours in infinite longing etc.' in a stitch in time. has anyone ever been so pathetically horrifically enduringly down bad as garak is for julian (laudatory)

Ella Purnell said Toy Story would be the movie she’d take w/her in a vault which reminded me that the Danse Buzz Lightyear mod exists 😂

With all the hype about the upcoming fallout 4 cast story (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!) I'm getting a feeling a few of you may not be too familiar with the original podcast and wanted to up the hype for this amazing thing that's been organized!

Seriously, take your excitement and double it! Kenneth Vigue is an amazing storyteller and the cast have already been invited to Bethesda events on multiple occasions! The late Ferret Baudoin was in a few episodes to.

Quite a few original voice actors across the series have even featured as new new characters for special episodes at Halloween and Xmas or joined in on some special get together episodes for charity. (Including Matt Mercer, Dany Shorago and Peter Jessop... ie. MacCready, Hancock and Danse)

The original story itself though is rooted in 76, it's been running for 4 years! The cast are awesome and the characters are certainly memorable 😅 (Suzie is my fave!) The way Ken writes in the game mechanics (even down to the atomic ahop) is hilarious and genius! It's so good... Go listen!

The Halloween episodes are insanely good (like you guys need some Mr Dark in your life!) there is original music and ugh...

A devastating and confusing thing about the Fallout setting, when you explore the pre-war aspects, is what the creators think about pre-war America. In the first games we only get hints of the pre-war world, but they seem to be some sort of wild fascist nation invading Canada. In Fallout 1, the first thing we're introduced to of the pre-war society is seeing a soldier shoot civilians and laughing.

Now, for the first 2 games and New Vegas we don't really know much. What we know is that there's a fascist military group known as the enclave who were a sort of US deep state even before the war, and that the government teamed up with corporate interests to preform vaguely MKULTRA-ish experiments with the Vaults. Basically, the government was an extreme version of the 50s American jingoism and McCarthyism.

This is well and dandy, I guess issues come up more when we get to the later games, especially 4, where it seems like none of this extreme plotting and societal civil unrest which would exist is seen. The society as presented in 4 also seems quite progressive, gay people are featured in the opening, and none of the baggage of say, civil rights not existing are included. Now on a baseline, I don't want settings to be more conservative, homophobic and sexist etc., but it becomes a very confusing setting when it's displayed both as this jingoist extreme thing with fascist tendencies aswell as a progressive place where everyone is seemingly equal. If you're focusing on the 50s as your setting, and American nationalism in the 50s, then you can't have McCarthyism spoofs and anti-communism as a societal paranoia norm while also general equality is the norm without misunderstanding why McCarthyism and nationalist jingoism is bad. A massive harm done in anti-communist paranoia is how it degrades and vilifies any progressive movements (women's rights, civil rights, homosexuality) as being morally un-American and therefore connected to communism. To ignore this just makes any critique of MacCarthyism and jingoism weird!

Basically, pre-war America in Fallout 4 becomes this both sides thing where America is both pure and equal and white fences in every instance that we see as the player (the intro), while also supposedly being this dystopic MacCarthyist hellscape that's broadcasting gladly about their war crimes in Canada, and wants to root out communism. I guess the only fix for this issue without getting into the fine print like they had to do is just not to focus too much on the pre-war world.

When a non-horror game has a horror section, I often find it a little more effective or memorable than a full-on horror title's horror, in a way. I think that's because, for characters in fiction, they usually don't know they're about to experience a horror story, so they aren't mentally prepared at all. As the audience, we know that when we boot up Silent Hill, we're gonna see some scary stuff and can mentally prepare accordingly. But when some innocuous children's platformer or RPG or whatever suddenly throws genuine horror elements at me, I'm taken out of my comfort zone much more roughly since I don't expect it at all. I think that's neat :>

FALLOUT 4:

"DEATH SHROUD" SERIES UPDATE!

Check out the AMAZING artwork tumblr artist @rad-roche did for our second installment in the Death Shroud! series. This story is titled, "The Cat's Paw", and will see an even BIGGER cast of voice actors returning to reprise their roles this May to benefit Wes Johnson's VoiceAPalooza charity drive for the Alzheimer's Association.

Please note that the voice cast list may change as more people confirm, so this is likely NOT the final art.
