I think that only makes the inevitable human conquest of space all the more impressive. To think that we'll have to be able to be able to engineer a ship and society that could collectively survive a mission spanning centuries, it's somthing to strive for.
Inevitable. . .
Hardly, we're struggling fam. If some people were to have their way we'd stay here and stagnate or even just kill ourselves.
Scientific knowledge and engineering capabilities are like entropy, their increase is inevitable and unavoidable. Even if we don't personally live to see significant space advancements, people aren't going to give up on it without being completely lobotomized. Have some faith.
Well, actually, the farther we get along, the bigger the hurdles are going to get. There's only so far you can go before your scientific progress begins to stagnate because the hurdles get so much more massive in scale.
I'd actually say, that due to entropy, we'll reach a point were our technology can go no further due to the constricting limits of our universal laws. The successful climb up a never ending hill won't last forever.
We're gonna conquer this motherfukin galaxy, Sandy, and that's final!
Na. We might touch down on a few bodies in our solar system. But without the ability to "move" faster than light we'll never see anything beyond our solar system.
Think of all the resources that could be potentially wasted if you built slow moving colony ships meant for the long haul? Sent to a star system only to find nothing.
The odds aren't good. Anything using conventional propulsion will never make the grade.
>has never heard of percolative drift
I have not.
Even still. To make any sort of colony ship it would have to have an inexaustable power supply, renewable resources, and be capable of tanking just about anything space could throw at it to damage it.
The size, scope, and technical details required are immense.
And we're not even counting what human nature does over time if this was a long journey that was generation based rather than sleep based.
I'm not talking about sending colony ships. We're talking a glacial crawl out from the inner solar system. Outer solar system colonies can get resources from the moons and gassy planets themselves. Then into the kuiper belt taking advantage of water, and organic (ie carbon) compounds contained within in those objects. Most astronomers, to my knowledge, figure that the interstellar medium is similarly occupied and it may be a simple*(read not actually simple) campaign of hopping between extreme outer solar system objects into another system.
Actually this is more akin to glacial drift than percolative drift.
I'm not saying it's inevitable just don't write it off out of hand.
Welp, I'm gonna write it off out of hand.
I'm gonna write you off you cheeky cunt
Kinky.

Lol what history.
Say whatever you like about the man, but never in Canadian history has the son of a Prime Minister been elected.
It's politics. People in suits with old timey theatre masks on. I expect nothing different to come of this. There might be a few uppity bumps here or there with little bits of change thrown in.
But come the fuck on, let's not get excited here. Nothing miraculous will come from this.
Always disliked elections. Especially when fucking people get all uppity like their PM is the second coming of christ and the streets are now made of gold.
Give me a break.
Did you play College ball or something?
Haha. Cute. No. Never made it to college. Sports were never my thing. As for the son of a PM thing. Your point? He's the son of an ex Prime Minister. Okay. So that's a first in our history. And nothing more. Does it mean he'll do a good job? No. No it doesn't. I don't expect much from the folks up top. If anything phenominal happens, then sure, woo, good job and congratulations on scoring a governmental leader not made of ass and bullshit. If not? Business as usual. Life goes on.

Also, I just realized that all ammunition is weightless, so there's no excuse not to pick all of it up when you see it, even if you don't have any compatibilities I hoard ammunition like crazy. It makes me feel safe knowing that I have several million assault rifle rounds at my disposal.

>wearing raider armor
>raiders still attack me
eh
Raiders are often hopped up on drugs or starving/dying. They'll go after anything that's not part of their little group. They can smell your minty fresh vault ass no matter what armour you're hiding under.

All right, I think I'm done looting this school for now. I'll deal with those ants later.
Found myself an automatic weapon, but it's a piece of Chinese junk, of course. Cheap raiders.
Also found a couple knives, but I doubt I can use them to backstab anyone. Unless I can, which would be sweet.
About the raiders, though--I find it interesting that most of them appear to be female. From what I've seen, anyway.
Raiders are randomly generated, so it's just luck of the draw on your part.

Oh ya, Verb. Those comic books provide permanent 1+ boosts to certain states. You wanna keep an eye out for those.

Haha, Ganja Gremlin Trudeau is most likely getting in.
I hope he starts backtracking on all of the shit we've sold to the states. Half the fucking country isn't even owned by us or our government anymore.

Because I will never find out by myself: What happens under withdrawal?... Is it just stat debuffs all around, or?
Yeah, basically just stat debuffs and stuff, that persist until you either get it cured or take more drugs
Withdrawl stages of severity also increase the farther along you go I believe.

Oh ya. I'll share this with you Verb just as an example of how thorough Bethesda likes to be. You remember when you went to go take the G.O.A.T test?
If you distributed your SPECIAL points around, and left yourself with 4 or lower into Intelligence, when you go to take the GOAT you'll instead be escorted into the class room by a teacher, being called a "special needs child."
Really? Ha, that's amazing.
Good thing I distributed everything evenly.
Yep. A low intelligence playthrough in 3 or New Vegas can be hilarious because often times, normal quests or events come up with bonus dialogue to match your dull wits.

As luci says Verb. You do you and have fun with it.
I can almost guarantee you there's going to be a few quests in the game that make you pause and think about what you pick. The karma system can be a little arbitrarily black and white in some spots, I admit. You might pick something that you think is the best option and then get slapped with negative karma.
Just roll with it Verb.
And have fun with the dialogue. Fallout games have always been good for dialogue. Whether interesting, funny, or thought inducing.

Some good quotes in this game.
"The smart man knows a bandage only hides his wounds."
I sunk so many hours into that god damn game and I don't ever remember a quote like that. That's what I love about Bethesda titles. So much content.

Which province you in bud?
Right now I'm living in New Brunswick, but I was talking about my home province of Nova Scotia.
Okay dude, you've gotta do something for the vocaroo threads.
Please tell me you've a nova scotia or newfoundland accent.
A little bit, but not as bad as some people.
I have family in Newfoundland and I can barely understand some of them. If I talk to one of my uncles I have to smile and nod because I have no clue what he's saying.
Ha, neat.

Question: What exactly happens when you die? I'd like to know so that I'm not angry when it happens.
I assume you just go back to the last place you saved/auto-saved, losing all your progress down to that point.
Yep. Your autosave always comes first. But something important to remember is to do manual saves fairly often because a lot of time autosaves can have a big delay between them, in a lot of cases, setting you really far back.
