I can tell you it is great to be able to do such things...

What really piss me off is people that try to force their ideals on others, seriously just mind your business and let others live their lives as long theyre not harming anyone else. That was expensive to get rid of her. The number One way to get rid fo most people where they think they are making the decision is to give them money and then later demand that they pay making them uncomfortable when they are around. Most of the time, you never have to deal with them again. I used to do a 10 dollar but now it seems the magic number is 20 if you are too low it basically backfires. You look like the jerk and everybody avoids you. It has to be of reasonable value with a clear understanding it is to be paid back. (so unfortunately you can't do that with a crazy girlfriend or boyfriend also family members, depending on how close etc, might not work. )

Mods that start the description with "This is a DLC sized quest mod with a fully voiced companion and new radio station!" Okay...so what? What about the quest? Did you create a new world space? New enemies? What? Or is this just a quest to introduce your companion and how they tie into the new radio station? And if it is the latter then gutting that from the mod means there is no mod. Don't get me wrong, I want to be happy for the author that they put in the time and effort for that, and they should be proud of the work they've done. But for me it would be like buying a high octane sports car that goes 0-80 in 4.368 seconds and then only driving it places with a 30 mph speed limit.

When I see that I first think it is a new area and some new events along with the companion and radio station. When they say "DLC sized". However, with you mentioning the above, I can see your point. I was assuming. However, to be a devil's advocate, many people are desiring those two things, companions and radio stations so the author needs to advertise those two strongly or have their mod drop to the back pages of the site they are on. It has been while since I really loaded up a complex game to play so my info is out of date but usually there is a more in-dept description below that advertiser. That advertisement is only to get someone's attention so they can review it more closely. Now if the trend is they don't do that and only rely on those two factors.. that is dumb. If I see that and no more info, I usually just move on unless I have read reviews or other sources advertising their mod in details. 5 hours ago, winny257 said: then you should hate me too.

megamantaray Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 People who vanish constantly when you're meant to keep contact and at least warn of being away, no matter what you're doing, if it's playing games, going on vacation or taking a nap. I don't mind it that much, that's not a problem, going missing is fine especially if it's an online friendship, you will vanish at some point. The problem is being yelled at for doing the same when you have no control over it. This week has been incredibly stressful and I've been really busy, explaining this does nothing. On the other hand if they go missing for upwards of a month I'm expected to be okay with that, even if we had things planned to do and some of it was work-related. I'm not really angry at this point, it's just disappointing. As much as that phrase is a meme, it's accurate. As a side-note: People who write off others as horrible simply based on tabloid sensational bullshit or what others tell them and take these things as fact or react to them as if they just happened. "Shame about Kevin Hart being a homophobe, lol I'm glad he got in an accident." Bitch what? A tiny bit of research will tell you that A/ His old gay jokes were from circa 2011, B/ his "homophobic tweets" were banter with other rappers when he wasn't even famous and C/ someone only dug them up recently BECAUSE he was gonna be doing important shit and they wanted to ruin it. You're GLAD he almost fucking died!? Bitch do you even KNOW the things he's done to help out his community and all the good shit he's done after those super old tweets and specials aired? How does a person write someone off as SATAN just because of 3 old tweets!? How does a person laugh at how they were in a car accident even if they were a bad person, which he's clearly not but of course that doesn't play into the narrative, having even a SHRED of skepticism or curiosity to question things being said in such a blanket manner isn't a thing anymore. It may be deliberate ignorance I don't fucking know. I don't understand this world, the people advocating acceptance and understanding giggling at the despair of others on such shallow premises, hell the LGBT is at war with itself, they don't think the T should be on there, the feminists are at war with themselves because black women don't think white women have a right to be feminist. I nearly lost my job because I rejected a ftm trans person, I said I didn't date men(they're ftm, they're presenting and acting like a man, I don't date men although I am bi so if they weren't an asshole we could've hung out or even fucked lol). On top of that I'm married(open relationship though) and apparently that made me transphobic, they made a big enough deal of it that my boss caught wind of it because their friends also joined in on the shitshow. My boss had a talk with me, and I had to explain in excruciating detail that I'm not transphobic and in fact I was openly accepting that this person was a man, because they're ftm, but apparently unless I'm doing what they want that doesn't matter. This person even went as far as to argue that they "still had a vagina" as if that made it okay. No dude, your people, the LGBTQ advocate that appearance and genitals don't matter, but I suppose in this instance that didn't play to your goals. My boss is an understanding older lady and after our talk I feel safer but.. fuck man. What the shit? I'm expecting to run into this idiot again soon because I eat lunch there, I may have to go elsewhere honestly. Fuck this planet. I guess this would go more on the rant thread but these things are like... pretty much the same thing and I wanted it out of my chest. That was a long side note...

Yet leave the high traffic areas that could actually benefit from a roundabout using traditional 4-way intersections. Kind of hard for 'Mericans to learn who to use roundabouts properly when our towns can't even set them up right.

I'm not sure if you are referring to Ivy, but if you are, there is a quite long section dedicated to all royalty free music featured in the mod and links to their owners, in the mod description and Frequently Asked Questions section.. with proper sourcing. I don't know about other mods. As for new areas, and quests with a 'good story' (what a subjective thing that is!) you might reconsider your opinion when you've played with 5.0. And if you say every single companion is an 'asshat'.. then I retort; and say there are very few games out there commercially made with companions that feature 6000+ lines of dialogue. To compare: The ENTIRETY of Mass Effect 3 features 40.000 lines of dialogue. The ENTIRETY of Mass Effect 1 features 25.000 lines of dialogue. The ENTIRETY of Mass Effect 1 features 20.000 lines of dialogue. Ivy has 6000+. That's a free mod, utterly free, that no one forces you to play with. 3 guesses as to what pisses me off.

DoctaSax Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 "every single one" seems to refer to vanilla companions, and the post overall is more about lacklustre companions being tacked on to other mods, I think. Then again, who knows
megamantaray Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I hate candy corn. I don't go out for halloween collecting candy but my friends and their kids walk around. If you give kids candy corn you're a monster.

No, I'm not referring to your mod. I was annoyed by something that popped up on FO4 nexus in the hot files. I am actually (mostly) annoyed with this as a Fallout issue more than a companion issue in general, as the Bugthesda created companions have never struck me as in anyway useful or warranted. And pretty much being forced into taking companions along in FO4 (looking at you Danse and Dogmeat) really pisses me off. I have tended to play stealth sniper all the way back to Fallout 2, and companions just get in the way or cannot stealth for shit.
Chbaakal Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 This is Rage Inducing! And also might come out as funny too, until it happens to you: Put on fresh toilet paper roll. My last one from a package of 12. Try to separate first sheets, with adhesive by manufacturer, from the rest. Find that its not just one or two layers, maybe 3 or so? 4or 5? NO....IT'S THE ENTIRE FUCKING ROLL! And not just the thin line.....It's a solid 1/2 inch CHUNK of glue, all the way down to the core!! AND I can't cut useful sheets away from the roll, because of another line of glue spots dribbled in the middle of EVERY sheet!! Really damn glad I found this out BEFORE I'd had to use the loo!!!

Well I really like Ivy... as do MANY others, considering the popularity of your mod. Great work to both you and Chick Geek. I was off-roading today... and the guy in line in front me of me kept losing the vehicle in front of him - getting the rest of the line (a dozen or so behind me) lost. EVERY.LITTLE.THING. on the trail, this guy had to stop, get out, inspect, pick a line, and crawl over. We're talking about 1" tree branches, 2" tall rocks, 3" deep water passes, etc... If it wasn't for the radios in our rigs, we wouldn't have been able to find the rest of the lead group.
Rayblue Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 This is why oldtimers used CB radios to keep track of each other.
