November post #2 Even more Fallout 3,4,NV: Endurance 1 'challenges'

So I had only played them all in January 2024 but here we go again.

Who in Brazil is looking at this horseshit?

 

Fallout: New Vegas No companions no uniques Endurance 1 Very Hard/Hardcore Mode

 

In January all I did was have no companions as well as the rest of the titled info BUT this time I started a character with Endurance 1, I think, to challenge myself by not being able to buy all of the implants. But then I realised Endurance 1 in of itself was challenging, as I started with very little HP and it’s Very Hard mode so enemies are tougher and Hardcore mode so my limbs would be broken a lot.

 

I made it to level 50 this time, plus all my skills were 100 long before that. I also completed every DLC and did almost every quest I possibly could before siding with Yes Man.

 

Fallout 3 Very Hard Endurance 1

 

This was kind of fun to return to but also not.

 

I was Very Evil for the craic, was a lot of fun and just shows how much we

 

I only did Operation Anchorage

 

I got bored eventually as enemies became bullet sponges and every cell of the map had a Deathclaw or high-level enemy in it.

 

Fallout 4 Endurance 1 Survival Mode

 

No real restrictions here, just play through as much as I want.

 

I hate the companions in Fallout 4, they just get in the way. I usually recruit the Dog for a short period but usually fire him when I get my bearings.

 

I spent 50+ levels and about 44 hours of gametime so far and I have not entered Diamond City. Mostly just conquering various settlements!

 

 

 

 

November post #1 sequel to YouTube 'Shuffleall' playlist, a history of my musical tastes 2006-2015; - 2016-2023

 I had previously documented my musical tastes from 2006-2015, I will now attempt something similar by analysing the Shuffleall playlist from 2015-2023 that I have. A lot of songs have been deleted by YouTube it seems like, also I stopped updating the playlist as much around 2023ish.

2016 - lots of Iggy Pop Post Rock Depression followed by classics, I think I was re-watching Reeling in the Years a lot again here

2017 - I started working in a tiny factory and the radio was always set to TodayFM so finally I would be up to date music-wise. Lorde, Harry Styles, Kygo, Kasabian, Picture This, Liam Gallagher, Alice Merton, Sigrid... tons more.

2018 - we started putting on Classic Hits more here at work so it's a lot of ELO, Paul Hardcastle got in here, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, on and on classics.

2019 - I was the de facto supervisor of evening shift in late 2019 for a few months so I would command my 'chef' to change the radio right before N*all B*ylan would come on. So we'd get to listen to classics for the first half of the shift then current stuff. Ava Max, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, more Sigrid, Freya Ridings, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish...

2020 - global panini! Westlife managed to return here, SZA, Alan Walker, Doja Cat, Halsey, Gavin James, Glass Animals, BENEE... all featured here. I was on night shift so some fuckig weird shit would play at 4am.

2021 - this is where my records start to fall off. Little Mix? Coldplay? They had stuff out this year. 2021 sucked for me so I wasn't paying much attention. Olivia Rodrigo too.

2022 - I quit work in July so thus ended my exposure to whatever the top of the pops was. Gayle I guess before I left?

2023 - I don't know  

2024 - The only new song I'm aware of is Red Wine Supernova... and it was released in 2023 oops.
