#Static plays FNV

[ruby-static]

Anyways. Arcade's dork-ass 'heh'.

#Static screams into the void #Static plays FNV #Fallout #Fallout New Vegas #FNV #Arcade Gannon #Hi yeah I'm very normal. #(Shaking him violently by the shoulders out of cuteness/dorkiness agression) #Anyways. This quest was pretty fun. #I have a few funny art/animatic ideas for Riley and Arcade in this quest that I still really need to do. #(But in short- Riley is constantly 5 seconds from vaporizing Fantastic.)

i downloaded a mod for fnv that makes all the radios play music when you turn them on instead of that weird static. so i spent 2 hours figuring out how to mute sounds in the geck + extracting a bunch of ambient sounds from bsa files so i could get rid of all the weird ambient noise in the lucky 38 so i can play big iron in my apartment without hearing eerie wind or metal clanging in the background

#if youre wondering why i couldnt just play it on my pip boy. it is because i am evil

[letmebegaytodd]

we all talk about fucking up our games with mods but do u have any mod recs or mods you can't play without for fnv or fo4? :O

DO i?? (yes) 

These are all going to be mods for fo4 since i rarely if ever mod fnv

This isn’t a complete list, especially since I have fo4 on three different systems so the mods vary, but generally i use these ones pretty religiously:

Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR) - a must if you want to download modified armor and weapons. basically a foundation mod because a lot of other mods use it and also it’s great

Armorsmith Extended - also a must. requires AWKCR to work but you were going to download that anyway. it does like 16 different things. 

OCDecorator - Static Loot - this is one of the greatest mods of all time. if you’re like me and you have to decorate your settlements or you’ll literally die then get this

SnapBeds - do you want actual usable bunkbeds? rhetorical question. this mod is a lifesaver for smaller living areas

Sanctuary Hot Springs Settlement and Home - out of all the player settlement/home mods, this one is my favorite. 

Traits and More Perks - includes traits from fnv and new perks

The Danse Dilemma - I’ve recommended this mod 8 billion times and i’m going to do it again! Basically it includes cut content from the game, enabling you to more fully help Danse during Blind Betrayal, and challenge Maxson in order to decide a new Elder. 

The Mercenary - Pack - because you gotta look cool in the post-apocalypse

Clothing Of The Commonwealth - I have a weakness for clothing mods. you know this.

Fallout 4 Seasons - essentially an overhaul mod that gives the Wasteland a season of your choice. Spring and Summer are my favorites

True Storms - Wasteland Edition - STORMS, BITCH

Commonwealth Cuts - KS Hairdos - this hair mod is like, the most extensive one i’ve ever seen. bless

Color Map 4K 2K with Magazines Bobbleheads and Armor Locations - do you have a perpetual hard-on for finding collectibles? of course you do. download this mod

How I Got into Fallout

so yesterday I asked if you guys wanted to hear how I got into Fallout, and I got some likes on that post, so here's the story. A few years ago, maybe about three or four, I started watching a channel called VenturianTale. The main guy on the channel, Venturian, was doing a Fallout 3 playthrough (and later a FNV playthrough) and so I started watching it. I never actually watched the entirety of either playthroughs (I'm currently watching the fnv one tho) but I was hooked. (plus I really liked the fo3 playthrough intro he made- it was i don't want to set the world on fire by the ink spots with some radio static and other noises- that really kickstarted my love for old music and later my love for these games) Skip to about a year later or so. I was at my local GameStop and was unsure about what game I wanted, but eventually, I found Fallout: New Vegas. I wanted to start out with three, but I bought New Vegas anyways and went home. At first I wasn't too fond of it. I put it away for a while and only played it on rare occasions. Later, I got my Xbox one along side Fallout 4 and a download code for Fallout 3. I started playing both, but eventually got bored of it again. I revisited it later last summer, playing the heck outta Fallout 4, and then eventually writing my fanfic for the game, and then playing the other two games and making my own characters for those. And so, that brings us to today. That's my story.

#fnv #fo4 #fo3 #stfu cloud #cloud plays fo3 #cloud plays fo4 #cloud plays fnv

[vodcar]

just thinkin bout fnv

specifically the setting and the position of Wasteland and the Old World Blues.

so setting: it’s a desert. p much uninhabitable for the most part, even by vegetation, unless you’re hardy, and know how to survive. it was like this before the war, and it’s like this still. The Wasteland kinda ties the old world and the new together with similar primal struggles that individuals and societies have to combat to survive and thrive. there’s a history here, but that history has always been about survival and establishing oneself - two immediate aims. This setting and the needs it demands, and has demanded lets the flow of a post-apocalyptic world flourish. there’s no real grieving over the past, for there is an immediacy for survival, for power, for organisation. but there’s also nothing really to grieve over, even when there were things established. Vegas has always been this hive of debauchery and gambling and stakes and casinos taking in Big Money and many people leaving drunk and penniless, or hooked and gambling. this re-establishment is not some homage or fetishism to the past, it re-emerges calculated by Mr House as a way of organisation and oppression and stability, out of the needs to survive and thrive as a populace in the desert, in the wasteland.

Those with Old World Blues, with the inability to let go of the past are seen as anything from strange, deluded, through to villainous: Big MT, Vault 22, Ulysses, the Legion to some extent, Father Elijah, etc. etc. i.e. those not aware of their current setting and the current needs of their communities and themselves. The Kings may be romping around with silly hairdos and funny voices, but their priorities are to Freeside and the people dependent on them - their priority is their setting. In this regard, those with a keen investment with the present are in a way most connected to their history in setting. They are culturally re-living and re-performing their ancestors struggles without being locked into fetishising them statically. The acceptance of adaptation and survival plays then as a homage to the way of the land and setting. To go against this is to laud the societies and organisations from the past, irrespective of the changes of demands and needs. Those with the Old World Blues disregard their place in their setting, and seek for that placement in a bygone society that brought apocalypse. This is summed up exquisitely well in The Big MT: there’s a crazed delusion that the mountain the facility was originally built in still remains, when in fact it is open to the sky, a fact caused by the atomic violences of the society the scientists cling on to. Their performances and diligences relate to a history and society that disrespects setting entirely, to the point of turning a Mountain into an MT, to the point of nuclear catastrophe.

This then has a crucial role for the player character, especially when considering F:NV generically as an open world rpg. It is only ever the current setting a new player can relate to, or will ever relate to. Whatever Old World history is uncovered it’s through a Ruinous setting, from reports on Ruined computers, passed from the tongues of NPCs you interact with in the open world, in the setting. Contrasting this with Fallout 4, (the opening of which obviously pigeonholes the player character into a very straight and narrow backstory), we are confronted with this societal fetishisation, and not an appreciation for the setting of Wasteland. Placing the player in the pre-war house with a pre-war family in a pre-war community also belies a Pre-Wasteland setting (at which point the game is strictly Not open-world). The player is left to interact with this entirely insignificant non-interactable pre-war setting, in which pathos for ones spouse and child is supposedly drummed up. As the player moves around, their character can comment on the commodities of their house. The society, the Things, the Old World here is being displayed, and there supposed effect is to garner a narrative grief, a thirst for that old world, to have one’s child back, to avenge the murder of one’s spouse. All of this is generated by the Old World and the doings of the Old World and the societies and principles that move around it. The striving to regain your child smacks of Old World Blues, a pre-occupation to return to the nuclear family, to the way things were. None of this bears any relation to the struggles the setting of The Wasteland brings. The Wasteland, becomes an arena, littered with Old World remnants that, given the unveiling of the Old World in the pre-game sequence, will always be remnants. They will always now resist, as the game is written to resist, a collapse and acknowledgement of a unified setting, or any sense of adaptive performative history as shown with F:NV. In this sense, whatever is created in homage to the old world, or whatever is created anew, can never be seen to flow out of it, but rather violently signifies against it. The two become separate and the Old World remains something to cling on to and work with, whilst the setting, the people around you, the needs, the struggles, etc., all become secondary, or an other thing separate from the old world, rather than a continuation of, a product of, unseperable in its ways.

idk What i’m going to conclude with other than i didn’t mean to write this much at All and that i love Fallout: New Vegas and it’s treatment of setting is hmm. it’s even all in the name. the name is the setting. the name New Vegas conjures up the Old World, but it distinctly flows from it. It has its echoes, but it’s also New, not Old. It has its own people, its own needs, similar and dissimilar, but always flowing from setting, from the Open World.

#wow honey #fallout: new vegas #fnv #long post #idk what to tag this as #just some Thoughts Lads #this was All spurred on by listening to in the shadow of the valley twice in a row and feeling lonely washing up #so blame that and my dramatic gay ass
