Finished my playthrough last night and I can't say enough good things about the artistry on display in this game. Really a solid work of art by the ND team and I was not disappointed AT ALL with the story, characters, or the ending. Some people think this is their own personal IP and complain about it not going the way they wanted it to go, and they really need to be reminded that ND has earned the right to tell their story they way they want to tell it. Love it or hate, you're still talking about it, and while I have my personal opinions on some of the design, I have to recognize the game as a whole is really well done and deserves recognition.

She said "cockles" this morning. Need to make a clip of that.

Ah, KBM. I'm going to get some investigations going on into KBM after P20 I think. The fact that I can't grab sliders and move them, like the settings menu for example, just bug the ever-living shit out of me. Clicks and highlights are also really janky at times. We need to do better here...

That's odd. Most of the time when moving around in those smaller spaces, you'll see your character rubberband or sometimes skip forward a frame or two, which is sometimes just collision from older objects that have been removed remaining in the world. Does it control lock you for 4-5 seconds and then move or what?

The Wrong Missy. Typical Happy Madison production. If you like those actors and most things Sandler, then you’ll like this as well. Even if you’re not a fan, it still has some entertaining moments. Only 90s mins, and you can either watch intently or have it on while you’re working and still catch what’s going on. Lauren Lapkus does a superb job and pulls off the crazy, cringe-y, try anything, IDGAF, but very lovable gf quite well. Would, and would love to party with that girl. I’d recommend it to the HM fans and anyone who’s run out of stuff to watch and just wants something entertaining and easy to follow.

Hey everyone, Just a quick update from my end. PTS went live last Thursday with Legendary Perks and Public Teams primarily. Public Teams has been getting pretty solid and positive feedback, and most of it we were already working on, so we have something good here. The data is showing a lot of people engaging with it even beyond their initial sessions, so again, really positive. Legendary Perks, however, was on the opposite end. Highly...not positive , but for good reason. I can't go too much into internal discussion, but I wanted to say that this is why we go to PTS with features, especially ones that have major impact on gameplay. I'm a huge proponent of getting this feedback on a grand level. We certainly received a lot of it and it actually reinforced A LOT of our design assumptions and risks. We've already made a lot of good changes this week, which I think will be in the next rollout of PTS (not today), but there's a lot more to do here and we're actively working to improve it.

I thought about getting this and making the Lovely Ladies from Baseball Stars. I'm sure someone has done it...check Reddit...Yep! I have watched a few streams as well. Looks like a lot of fun.

Here's some fine police work...

No biggie. Just go here and drop another 30k... https://unpluggedperformance.com/product/s-apex-widebody-kit-model-s/

SIAP. Cheetah Stance Launch Mode activated. This is good stuff.

I got a good laugh this week in a prod meeting when it was mentioned that the Challenge Pass wording would need to be revised. So, here’s an update on that! https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/bethesda-confirms-fallout-76-seasons-will-be-free/

Yeah, I watched live and have been fine with a typical goal from Aguero or Sterling, but a 30 yard bending strike from Kompany is just unreal. Liverpool beats Everton though and that goal isn’t on the list...which is why it deserves a spot.

#4 is trash, but otherwise a good rundown.

Patch 19 dropped this afternoon. Get your Fasnacht on and dress up your allies. 2 separate “features”, but I expect them to go hand-in-hand. Oh, and keep an eye out for PTS news as well.

Yeah, I had a heat gun already and just ordered extra tubing in case. There’s a silicon hose that you can put inside the tube as well while you’re heating it up to keep it from losing shape. I also have some 45 and 90 degree bending tools, so you just warm up the tubing evenly and then put it around whichever bend you’re making, dip it in water and it’s done. The most time consuming part was just measuring and trimming the tube to get the right fit. As you can see here, I had to get some extenders off the water lock because the RAM was in the way. I would highly suggest getting the drill bit version for the trimming part. Waaaaaaay better and faster at trimming and getting clean edges. Yeah, it definitely is. I’m sure there are faster ones out there, but right now, a cold start takes just under 7 seconds to be fully booted into windows. Restart from within Windows and back is roughly the same as well.

I have two Asus ROG PG27AQ 4K monitors. It's weird because it's not a massive case at all. I was previously using the Corsair 900D. This Lian Li is slightly wider, but 7 or so inches shorter in height and length. No, that Samsung is M.2. It sits right below the the CPU. I have been on M.2 strictly now for 3-4 years? Yeah, I love the case. There has always been some crazy thing I hated about every case that I purchased over the years, but not this one. It has Bluetooth 5 and comes with the cable and extender. Really good board. BIOS is a little clunky, doesn't always respond to mouse clicks, so I certainly prefer Asus in this regard.

So, I got bored last week and built another machine. I went the RGB route this time for fun. Probably won't do it again as it took longer to set all that up and wire it correctly than it did putting everything else together. I also did the PETG hard tubing this time around and it was surprisingly not too difficult. I have a couple of slight flat spots on the bend, but I think I did OK and it works. Machine is OC'd and stable at 5.1GHz across all cores and idles at 23-25C. I really dig this case a lot. Perfect amount of space for multiple radiators, if you want it, and a massive amount of space in the back for cable management.

Sweet! Can you talk any about the legendary perks? Previous speculation was something like 1 every 50 levels? Not yet. We'll have more info on those really soon. That and Public Teams are my current focus.

There's a bit of a lift on it, yes. Then there's how it interacts with all the other systems, like Legendary Perks, and what it does to alts, etc. Then there's the testing and as you have all seen, we're actively using the PTS. Factor that in with continued support for Wastelanders, and it just takes some time for things to get to a good release state. There are other smaller things outside this list as well. I would invite everyone to signup for the PTS server when we do those invites. It's the best opportunity to get hands on with some of these features and provide feedback.

So, some good news from today. Glad we can share it now. Enjoy!

Not even for the BYU or Houston game?

Pack Rat and Strong Back at least have some decent value, so I wouldn't expect those to get cut. Maybe combined. You're right about Picklock and Hacker, though, and most everyone shares in that opinion.

Yeah, this is a common request, even by internal folks, and a very good QoL feature. My own opinion is that the system needs to achieve that balance of providing players a necessary avenue to correct mistakes, or make slight adjustments, and not make the character specialization irrelevant. The legendary perks will actually make creating alts with different specs a bit more fun IMO.
