I think I accidentally made Fallout 4's story better (admittedly not hard) with my alternative start. I did an escaped Synth. I made them the default looking female character and called them Nora. That said I have changed my hair, tattoos, scars etc during the game.

When I eventually got around the main quest, I find the body of Nora with the same recorded voice and features as my character dead in Vault 111. Kellog mistakes me for the dead Nora. I see her alive in his memories. Codsworth thinks I'm the old Nora. There's obviously cracks in the mod and dialogue where things become janky.

But the whole thing has become murky and ambiguous. Is my character a Synth? Does my character know that? Does the Institute Know this? Does Shaun know I'm the original or a Synth copy?

Given I'm Railroad and I'm infiltrating the Institue our dialogue suddenly becomes a game of intrigue. I'm trying to butter him up so I can work to sabotage them. Is he observing me as an experiment in turn or is it a weird dying man's attempt to resurrect his mother?

I’m getting so much silver hair wtf

Bonus tracks on vinyl are cool because they are hidden, but they are annoying because you have to get up twice per side to make it continue and because it prevents the player from automatically stopping at the fake end.

Gonna have a relaxing Friday evening at the Mojo Dojo Casa House

How tf are you even supposed to successfully trim your own mustache? Regardless of the time and care I put into it, I can never do it right and have to redo it the next time I get a chance. It is absolutely maddening

What would you do if a person you don't know threatened you but you don't want to get involved with the police?

perhaps the most important event in the history of international communism thus far

Happy four years of lurking and shitposting <3

What's the hetero-grindr these days? I've tried tinder after many years absence and it's just full of "not looking for a hookup" long-term-relationship seekers. I'm just looking for friendly NSA fun during an expected overnight layover at a nice Toronto hotel thursday into friday.

Also, assuming I can't find a partner, what's some reasonably-safe-solo actually-legal debauchery I can find? Any reputable strip clubs somewhere uber-able from the Chelsea Hotel maybe? I could always do the grindr thing or the Spa Excess thing but I feel the urge to indulge the straight side of my bi-ness sometimes. I'll be sober that night regardless.

Give me your favorite lentil curry recipes

The vibe at a municipal job not driven by profit is something i wish everyone could experience. It's so nice

So convenient my hexbear cakeday is fucking today

Idk what the fuck peri peri is but I think since all these google results for peri peri sauce show what's basically a sauce made from pureed peppers I feel like idk maybe I should make something like that to go with this peri peri chicken. The recipe i was given is basically just like "marinate it in WAAAAY too much lemon juice and chili powder and then grill it"

Does anyone have a good article or paper on how GDP, Unemployment, etc. figures are manipulated by all US presidential admins to reflect better on themselves? I used to have a really good one but I lost it :(

I want to be attractive and athletic without effort

Come on there has to be some kind of laser that can do this for me

Didn't make it onto the Discord life raft so I wasn't here from day one, but I managed to find my way here a few months later via reddit, probably by virtue of someone complaining about the ChaCha boogeyman. So glad I did...having this community has really helped keep me sane throughout all that's happened and guided me along the path. Here's to another four more years!

the bear has five candles, what does @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net know and when did he know it
