I'm not dying on any hills and my identity is just fine, I honestly am excited to watch some streaming Fallout 76 content.

I'm also fairly sure what's going to happen to the thread once the streams start!

In high school I once mentally downgraded a friendship when I found out he bought an xbox instead of a playstation. Can't be as good friends if we don't own the same console.

God I was stupid.

My sweet spot is 'oh man, we thought we had a good idea what people enjoyed in the fallout games but when we tried to do nothing but that in a game it flopped horribly, I guess we should reconsider how we make these games so we can do better'.

it'll never happen, but I can dream.

Oooo, what a sweet spot that would be though!

The GameCube was pretty cool though. I'm 100% looking forward to the inevitable GameCube classic and finally getting to play Super Mario RPG The Thousand Year Door.

yeah probably.

I love the idea of twitch, endless streaming entertainment where I can just jump around and listen to background noise of people playing games I like while I'm doing something else on my second monitor.

And then the reality of every streamer catering to 14 year olds and spouting endless catchphrases, dumb voices, and over the top exaggerated reactions to things crushed my dreams.

I’m visiting the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings. They’re playing a baseball game at Fenway Park on TV, which is more crossover than Bethesda ever gave in Fallout 4.

I've got some streamers who don't cater to kids on my follow list but none of them are playing fo76 :shrug:

actually now that I look again there's this guy who makes some interesting videos and he even just said he turned his alerts off

The saddest part about this game probably being bad is that West Virginia is an A+ place to set a post-apocalyptic game and now that location has been wasted.

shroud is about to start streaming so if you can look past the fact he will complain constantly about console aim then he's probably a good one to watch with the added benefit he does not care at all about fallout 76 and Bethesda cannot afford to bribe him.

There was a moment when he was switching weapons and turning while talking and moving himself and the game started skipping and lagging.

Some group of level 5s killed an end game boss sorta monster in one of the 3-hour preview videos. I'm assuming there is some level scaling going on. The biggest crime for me was how passive the monster was, it rarely attacked.
