      I've known you for some few years now, and I remember how hard you used to work (at the expense of that FO3 story that you later send me the ending to, a point younger-frakle not so often lamented). I know you'll do great, but best wishes and good luck all the same.

      I'm getting in another round of peeking. Not like before when I first started leaving each of the friends a pie in the face. Splat! Runs away!

      Wow! Since I found your pixs such a treat; and another appeared to me from a site called the "Instructables" I offer you what I found, "Pip-boy 3000 Mark II by will.sweatman" and hope someday I will offer some sight of some of my craft which may delight you as well.

      @Ithildin: I sort of wish for mods, but not terribly. I owe my crafting experience to being a heavy Forge user back in Halo 3, back when being creative meant doing some very unorthodox things. I find it fun to see how one can bend the existing rules of the game to meet a goal. I'd say I spent about half that playtime building, with maybe another day scavenging/trading materials.
    4. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      Oh, I actually wish I could console my way to getting infinite materials. But I spec'd a high luck build for my second run here, which allowed me to blast my way through with a two-shot assault rifle and Gauss rifle. That saved me inventory space so I could pick up all those pencils and alphabet cubes to slab into giant wooden slabs.
  3. AliasTheory
    Ugh, FO4 settlement building is addicting.

      Yeah! I know! I was so caught up in building a house in Sanctuary I missed a chance to help defend the County Crossings people from Raiders. Woe! I'm in trouble there now! Woe is me! I want to be left to building and repairing.

      I wonder if I could figure out a way to send Preston and Dogmeat to do those kinds of quests. ;- p

      Some people say that it's buggy as sh*t, but for some people it seems to work like a dream. I don't know if it's just buggy for consoles or what.

    3. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      It's just as buggy as Fallout 3 is. If you can handle that game, you can handle this one. I have only had one crazy bug, am level 35, and I'm playing on PS4 for now. I'm enjoying it though.

      @frakle: I'm in graduate school now (second year), so I'm busy jumping between schoolwork and research, whereas this summer I was working full time and part time. Hopefully I'll graduate next spring and finally get a big boy job.
    3. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      @Ithildin: Oh yeah, I'm alive alright. I'm not usually logging in here at work for good reasons, but I check my emails like a hawk, so I'll almost surely respond to PMs or anything. Work is basically me waging war against the engineering server at the university, trying to make simulations work in Linux. It really is package "dependency hell".
    4. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      Also, when Fallout 4 comes out...expect me to be back here. I'll need advice on making better in-game decisions unlike the Witcher 3, where I managed to get probably the worst possible ending. Being honest and rational is apparently terrible!

    4. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      Thanks all. The job is for an engineering consulting firm, and I mostly do 2D drafting and electrical safety calculations right now. I still do work for the university, so I'm working two jobs. Witcher 3 is awesome though; I've been playing it since launch a little at a time. This game has insane (ambiguous) dialogue consequences...more games of this type should adopt this, without being so black and white.

      ... it's regrets over the road not taken, such as a more valuable education and better career. You're on track for those. :)

      AliasTheory

      Wow, I didn't even think of that. Certainly a possibility, but a weird thought to entertain. She's actually leaving the university next week, so I'm going to her farewell luncheon.

      Trust me though, graduate school is hardly sunshine and rainbows. For most, it's some of the most stressful and socially-isolating times of their lives. The hours you work are long and the pay is little, and being NOT a college student, you should be eating far better than Top Ramen every day.

    4. Ithildin

      Ithildin

      I hear you ... I can only imagine how tough it is. That said, I believe your hard work and sacrifices will pay off and should make the rest of your life easier, at least financially speaking. (No doubt future jobs will come with their own demands.) Did the secretary find a new job, or is she a student doing work-study and nearly done with her degree program?

    I always love those Steam reviews that say 1000+ hours played and the user says something like, "I tried it for a little bit, it was pretty fun". Even if they are fake. I recently got all the nuclear waste collectables in the game. Time to do the spaceship parts or the letters. My patience was already wearing thin on the waste though, because I found out my game glitched and one of the barrels never spawned as expected. I spent an entire hour or so aimlessly searching in the same spot, thinking I was missing a cave or something. Looked up a video and recognized that part of the ocean floor. So I quickly swapped characters, and the barrel magically spawned right in front of me. Ugh.

      Wow, the results are beautiful - wonderful work. I'm very sorry to hear that the author has died. I'm familiar with Rooster Teeth's channel, especially Michael Jones's "Rage Quit" and their Minecraft playthroughs, but I hadn't seen Monty Oum's series before. (My sons and I watch one of the Minecraft playthroughs each day; we're up to #53.) Anyway, I really like how this piece turned out. Lovely.

      I'm with Cheesey - I like it. The setting makes me wonder what it'd be like to visit a place like NYC or Tokyo; the tall, dark building in the background reminds me of the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle.
    3. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      Cool, thanks. Tokyo is an awesome city to visit because it is so clean (like many other cities in Japan) unlike here in the West. I still have to detail a lot of extra clutter in this picture before I get around to doing base colors. Hope I can finish this by the middle of spring so my friend can try sell the final version at a convention. I could make some extra money too!

      Thanks! But no way, the translator is way more impressive on a technical level than my naive implementation. There are some similar pattern recognition principles involved, but nothing nearly that advanced. I only did the programming over a couple months (for an image processing class), and there is still a lot of work left to be done. Here is a very accessible paper on the topic though, if anyone is interested:

      I've seen quite a few implementations of this.

      granted, they were all hugely funded corporate backed projects with numerous grunts and drones working on them 24/7

      .

      I'm not helping at all, am I?

      the best one i used was in "Sibelius", a notation software.

      It does sound great, from what you've said, and I think I'll put it on my Christmas wish list (for hubby and sons, if they're trying to figure out what I want). :D
    3. AliasTheory

      AliasTheory

      Before you buy it, make sure you watch some gameplay and like killing a ton of orcs. Some may find it a bit repetitive. There is an appendix of lore in the game - which is completely optional - but the story is really just a justification for you to kill a lot of things.
    4. Ithildin

      Ithildin

      Thank you for the advice, I'll do that! I played Asheron's Call for four years, where the leveling treadmill was very repetitive; so were WoW dailies (my nemeses). If I put up with those two games for awhile, I might enjoy fighting swarms of orcs.
