Probably not a popular sentiment, but right wing people should have all their devices taken away and be denied access to entertainment

Free YouTube Kids and Netflix Kids and Disney+ (with the MA stuff disabled) for all of them.

Does anyone have preferred mods that make healing items and food more scarce? I've got so many auto-inject stimpaks that I could stroll through the Courier's Mile with my eyes closed. I don't need every trip back to Novac to be an ordeal where I'm about to starve to death, but I'd appreciate not being able to just have 50 purified waters available at all times so I can slam two or three of them whenever I hit a thirst threshold

Would probably be easier to reduce your carry weight and make sure your stimpacks have weight

the great thing about vnv is that you can just ignore the mods that add or change stuff you don't want added or changed. it's held up as The Definitive Way To Play New Vegas but at the end of the day it's just the mods some guy on the internet likes. what makes it special is how everything is really well categorized and has a good description so you can easily chose what parts to follow and what parts to ignore, while also walking you through some of the more annoying parts of modding

Hunting animals is still an easy way to get food, but I guess for a real challenge you could roleplay as a vegan.

Survival below 20 means you can't cook any of the meat you find except Bloatfly, so you're more reliant on scavenged or purchased food.

It's a shame vnv removes the armor added to the vendors in jsawyer, because they're really cool

Last I looked VNV didn't have jsawyer in it.

If not, that's a bug in Lone Star which says "Removed all unique armors (they were used by changing F3 leftovers in NV)" is a change that should only affect TTW.

My rush to dead money run is the first time in a long time I haven't used jsawyer. I also haven't continued it because I keep getting distracted by other games. Adhd will do that to you.

No, but I ended up dropping vnv entirely Wanted to get it down to only using jsawyer so I can use steam cloud saves and switch between computers and come back to it later without having to faff about too much

"Added the "Restore Dehydration" effect to Rum & Nuka, which was probably removed by accident." is just an insanely funny sentence, to me

Just installed the latest version of VNV on this new computer, after having a really outdated VNV version that I installed forever ago and just stuck with because it worked. Really impressed by all the slick, new-to-me features like the gray pip indicator on the radar for unlooted bodies and the in-game menu to adjust all the iStewieAI tweaks. Only thing I skipped was the overhauls section in favor of the OG jsawyer mod (not a big fan of the fan offshoots and some of their design choices). Glad I spent the 2 hours or so to get it all set up for the next time I inevitably get the urge to replay New Vegas

it's also got a mild diuretic in it

Ariong posted:What? Coke is water with some sugar syrup and carbon dioxide. How could it possibly be dehydrating? Caffeine will stop your kidneys from pulling water back into circulation and also make you pee more. Artificial sweeteners also do this. Sugar can itself be dehydrating, so avoiding the artificial stuff solves one problem but causes another.

Coke dehydrating you is a bit of a myth. Yeah, caffeine is a diuretic. But the water in soda is more then enough to offset that. It wouldn't be my first choice of beverage in a desert, but you're not going to die of thirst. ![]()

It's done that way in the game for thematic reasons as much as anything, to drive home how important fresh water is in the setting and how much influence someone has who controls Lake Mead and the Colorado River. I like the way jsawyer does it tho, where non-water drinks hydrate you just a bit- gives me a reason to be chugging beers as I go

Caffeine is dehydrating, but the amount of water in a Coca Cola more than makes up for it. If you only drink coke you will feel hosed up, but that's because you've had way more sugar and caffeine than you should have, you've had enough water.

NexusMods is being murdered, grab and store any mods you care about asap. Kinda auspicious that I just set up FNV for another run a few days ago.
