I need help with reputation. by snakeman2123in fnv

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points ago

As for the first part, you have to let us know who you're talking about, as there is many, many factions and places that have reputation :P

As for the second part, yes. I just save and wreak havoc, and then reload. I do this every now and then just for the hell of it. Or, you can go to Vault 3, creat a save, make a point of not clearing it, and then load that up whenever you wanna have some fun. Something about killing the drugged up fiends is very satisfying to me :P

Someone explaining to me why they don't believe in vaccination... by sweet_chick283in AdviceAnimals

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

I know a few vegans. This isn't really a vegan/vegetarian way of thinking (although they do have a few odd ways of reasoning). It's something that strong right wing people say, in my experience.

Personally, yes.

But I also think it's a nice alternative to "if you do this, then fuck you" kind of post (in that it gives a way for people to vent). Because this is at least restricted to advice animals. The whole "if you do this then fuck you" catch phrase was flowing into /r/WTF and /r/pics, which I feel is silly.

It might be my imagination but I feel this has replaced that catch phrase. And I'm okay with that.

That moment when you've played an area for >1 hour and then die right before you go into a building. by Kyle_Gin fnv

[–]In_the_Business 2 points3 points ago

When I first started playing (before I did some fixes), I crashed fairly often, and saving frequently became a huge habit.

I have several thousand saves spread out over 6 different playthrough files now :P I hardly have an issue with this in FNV, simply because of how often I save.

I can attest to this frustration in other games though XD

One of my favourite tracks in the original New Vegas soundtrack. Shame it only plays in Doc Mitchell's house :( by Mickster1267in fnv

[–]In_the_Business 2 points3 points ago

From what I recall, you're right. There's a small handful of places where it plays, but I'm pretty sure it only plays once at each of them.

I could be wrong, but that's just from my memory :)

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

I see your point but you still need to poke and trade in a kill lane because if you don't, you're wasting mana on missed skills or failed trades. I feel it's just very safe to ban Soraka because because if you are having a hard time landing your skills, the kill lane can become inefficient through large amounts of healing. :P

Haha that's how I feel on the matter. Made me feel better, thanks :)

Actually, my friends and I ban Soraka sometimes if we feel like running a kill lane... Does this make us bad? :P

Hi reddit, my Boyfriend has had a series of terrible things happen to him. I painted him his kitty. I hope he will "aww" and it will cheer him up a little :) by vaccinatedin aww

You sound like a good girlfriend. Best of luck to both of you when he's in a low spot.

Help with workbenches and energy weapons by cheemoin fnv

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

Spring boarding off your post. This man is absolutely right.

One thing though: optimized are actually 60% of the original weight, making them better for hardcore than you originally said.

Each of those articles he posted shows each of the guns each type of ammo applies to.

For a more general idea: I used SEC for my plasma defender, ECP for my Laser RCW, and MFC for my plasma/laser rifle.

You can carry a health amount (several hundred of each) with the pack rat perk and optimized rounds, both an absolute must for hardcore IMO. Otherwise you could probably go without both, but optimized are still the most balanced and best in terms of both DT and gun condition (pretty important considering most energy weapons have pretty piss poor HP).

However, carrying SOME max charge for tough enemies (or rather, enemies with high damage resist) can be useful (deathclaws, BOS, legionary assassins and armored rangers come to mind).

Just keep in mind, the more lethal the ammo type (with exception of optimized), the worse it is for your gun. There is also a smaller chance of getting a drained cell.

Example table (plasma rifle): How many shots the gun will last given the ammo type

Standard ammo- 370

Bulk- 436

Optimized- 336

Over charge- 245

Max charge - 145

Bulk is best for your guns but by far the weakest. Max charge can break your gun from full extremely fast.

Enjoy your energy weapons!

If you had to pick any video game world to live in, what would it be? (Not as the hero of the game, but as an average Joe.) by heyreyin AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 3 points4 points ago

Fallout. Life would probably suck, a lot, but I've always been curious to what post-apocalyptic life would be like. So I think that's most fitting.

Most notably, a prospector in Fallout (to those of you who don't know, they essentially look for things they thing might be of value that haven't been destroyed). I bet it would be pretty cool to dig through the ruined world, looking for something that could be worthwhile, or useful to my survival.

But being a mod of /r/FNV, I'm probably biased with my decision.

This looked like nothing more than a dead horse until I saw the face... [x-post from /r/beatingadeadhorse] by ehdvin WTF

Looked at both ends for a face.

Wasn't expecting that, I must say.

SUMMER BREAK! reddit, whats the worst thing that has happened to you before summer break started? by Iwant2bethe1percentin AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

My grandfather died at the beginning of summer, on the day of my 13th birthday. At that age, I spent at least a couple weeks of each summer with my grandparents.

That summer, it just wasn't quite the same. He really meant a lot to me, but I'm thankful that I was able to spend some time with him before he died.

Sounds like a first world problem to me ;)

But really. Sorry you broke your arm right at the beginning of break. Sounds like a bummer.

I can't believe I did this to my neighbor as a kid. He never came back to our house after this :( by questioneverything1in AdviceAnimals

I had a friend who tried this. I found the hose and used that instead. :P

Will do, when I find time. Thanks!

Just got a letter grade deducted for "being socially awkward".... What is the dumbest thing you've gotten points off for? by FreshmanYoin AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

That was the main problem I had with it. I didn't mind the ridiculous scaling to which she was taking points off, but the fact that she was only doing it to certain papers was a little irritating.

Just got a letter grade deducted for "being socially awkward".... What is the dumbest thing you've gotten points off for? by FreshmanYoin AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 19 points20 points ago*

I agree with your point, but this was a freshman (high school) test, and the questions were short answer, no more than 5-6 words for the most part. Given the setting, I didn't find it to be a necessary deduction, given our knowledge of the placement of a period didn't pertain to our knowledge of the class.

But that was just my opinion in the mind of a teenager. Also I might want to mention she deducted 10 points for such an error, which was the equivalent of a letter grade. Seemed a bit harsh.

Edit: I think I see what you did there.

Is it me or is the other dog gloating? by Ozzbobin aww

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point ago

Is it just me or wasn't this up less than 24 hours ago?

This looks familiar.

[–]In_the_Business 104 points105 points ago

Not putting a period at the end of the sentence on a biology test. I didn't have a problem with it (but I did think it was silly given it was a biology test) until I found out the teacher only counter points off for it with certain students, and with others, she let it slide.

Not sure if she was playing favorites or something, but it didn't fly for more than 2 tests before somebody got their parents to come up and complain, and it stopped.

Can we all just brag for a moment? by rastabeanin AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points ago

I'm dating a beautiful girl who also was the teacher of my lab last semester. I'm also about to be 21 and I take care of myself almost entirely independent from my parents. Yet I give myself crap because I'm starting to crack from balancing working full time and being a full time student. I know what I've done for myself is more than most people can say but I feel like it's not enough.

Wanted to rant too... Sorry.

[–]In_the_Business[S] 0 points1 point ago

Woah! That's quite the list. I have some things going on this week but I will be sure to try all of these fixes sometime soon. I will let you know how it goes.

If it's any comfort to you, I do indeed have a 64-but Windows 7 with an integrated card ;)

I appreciate what you did for me though, even if I can't get it running. As a mod of /r/FNV, I love seeing people help others out with bugs and glitches. Thanks for being one of those people!
