I noticed you license your comments here, do you really think that stops llm scrapers? I have more or less resigned to the fact that anything I write or post here is in the public domain and on the internet essentially forever.
It’s actual purpose is to infuriate lemmy users. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a comment with that signature included that doesn’t have at least one reply from someone telling them it doesn’t work. It’s pretty funny.
In order to make it really work you have to, print off the comment, write NO COMMERCIAL LICENSE in green ink to 45° angle, then upload the picture of the comment with the sign on it.
It’s been years since I played New Vegas, but I feel like you can get this dialog not long after you first pick up Cass as a companion. I believe the dick in question is that of the NCR, which has overextended itself in the Mojave and is struggling to secure its territory.
You’re right. Obsidian had a very tight timeframe for developing this game and it was a buggy mess when it released. as is anything based on the creation Gamebryo (creation is skyrim onwards and is based on gamebryo) engine.
Once it was polished up a bit though it was recognized for the genre defining game it is
I’ve never really understood the hyper around NV but admittedly my memory could be tainted by time.
I loved Fallout 1 & 2 and when Fallout 3 dropped I was delighted to get 1st person modern graphics in the world I loved. Then NV came along and the novelty of the new perspective and graphics had worn off, and there were these 2 new groups I really didn’t enjoy. Take me back to simpler times of raiders and brotherhood.
Then Fallout 4 came out and I was happy once more…back in the world I loved with fresher graphics.
A number of devs from Interplay (developers of the first two Fallout games before Bethesda acquired the license) moved to Obsidian and worked on New Vegas. Many long-time fans of the series consider it to be the best of the series after the transition to 3d first person, if not the best in the series, period.
A lot of the negative reviews were tied to the very buggy state the game released in. I’ve heard rumors that Obsidian asked for more QA time but was forced by the publisher to rush it to release. Given that Obsidian had a bounty reward if they hit a certain Metacritic score and they missed it by one point, I’m inclined to believe that rumor.
Personally, I think Fallout 4 has better gunplay, but New Vegas is much better at being an RPG with guns in it, rather than a shooter with RPG elements tacked on. It’s gotten a ton of polish since release, and there are years of community mods and patches to further smooth out the rough edges.

Thanks, that’s what stuck with me and I hadn’t checked since. I’ll give a go. Thanks.
Lol I see no reason to continue engaging with you after this. Your cringey licensing, the use of the word “triggered,” even bringing politics into this for some reason (really? Lol) tells me more than enough about you than I really care to know. Have a nice day!
What’s the dialogue that gets you to this? 😅

Same energy as the boomers posting those crazy “Facebook is not allowed to use my stuff!” posts on FB. Some people never learn.

I guess? If your purpose is to annoy people trying to discuss things…
Just ignore the signatures, it’s harmless
It’s “harmless” in the sense that ads are “harmless” which is to say it’s a deliberate waste of my time, and thus vile.
No
That doesn’t actually take much to do. Especially the talentless hacks calling themselves “artists”
Who’s that targeted at? I feel like you have a you problem there.
Hey now! It takes skill and fineness to manipulate the spooky art robot to make things…

Otherwise it doesn’t count.
You have to use RED ink you damn fool! Stop spreading misinformation.
Well AI needs our data. It’s this or it starts sending robots back in time.
I prefer it to have my random anonymous comments.
Regardless of its effectiveness, it will be fun to see that text regurgitated

Thanks for the explanation! Never played New Vegas. The reviews said it was terrible, but maybe after a few updates it was OK?

What fuckin reviews you reading? Its literally the best one.
Overwhelmingly positive 96% approval on over a 100k reviews.

It was released in 2012 or something. Back then it wasn’t greeted with such positivity and I hadn’t checked since.
The reviews do look pretty positive now.

But nothing can replace 1 & 2 for me.
I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

…why are you licensing your comments? That’s such a cringey boomer thing to do
…why are you so triggered? That’s such cringey right-wing thing to do.
