I remember reading a while ago and great statement I would love to pass along.
Paraphrasing... "Stop trying to think of a reply to my words and listen to them."
I am seriously working on just this problem.
I also have to work on my communication skills when it comes to saying something ( or typing ) and what I am saying in my head comes our poorly on paper ( or the electronics version ).
WOW..a Jean Michael Jarre - Electronica 2 : The heart of noise : 7. Exit. Perfect.
Let me posit this here now. If I type something that seems wrong or not nice or attacking.. I must have written it incorrectly. Apologies. I will try harder.
Onward!
No ballooning again! BOOOOO!
Weather has just sucked though today looked almost doable.
Can I have this please...soon?
Yeah...... I have less than a month to get some flight time or its three takeoffs and three landing alone!
Boooo!
Still working on pin number three. This one is the hardest as it has a different shape and its very personal.. every time I get a proof back and its wrong I get upset and am in a funk for days on how to correct it. Just sent off again hoping that they will understand what I want. ( Trying not to slap my forehead too much ).
Okay.. That's about it for the main section... The week was still a cruise through getting things done while restricted in what could be done and the vagaries of computers and updates and non working programs, backups, data requested over and over for the same thing. Its all rather tedious ( the data part ). The work was fine. I like my job and the people I work with a lot. I hates the commute..but who doesn't.
FALLOUT time. No fly I play with Fallout. No feel like designing pins.. fallout... Do not feel like cleaning.. fallout... I do not watch much television.. though now I can record old television shows I am binge watching Hogans Heroes somewhat. I refuse to watch football until they get their collective heads outs their butts.
So.. On Fallout .. This is with no mods loaded.... Its easy to do a lot of stuff in Fallout if you load mods. I tried it.. and yeah it was kinda fun it was also cheating...even though the game cheats terribly.
By cheating I mean... having three or more settlements attacked at the same time... dropping attackers in the middle of a heavily fortified zone... or randomly destroying stuff.
All of my settlements are heavily fortified. If I was a raider I would just throw down my weapons and anti social ways and join one. But that's me.
So since most everything I can build on is maxed out as far as I can I have been tweaking them. What I have worked on is below.
This is an update of the Jamaica settlement housing. Its restricted in building space. I redid this on with cement walls inside instead of metal. It works but the roofing cant be used. You have to use flooring. I added roofing on top of the flooring to make it work.
I opted for communal housing to save on building materials and space. If space was more open I would do apartments like I did in Sanctuary.
Update to the Spectacle Island zone. Its so hugely open you run into the problem of if its attacked you are running from one end of the island to the other. I added external gun posts and then added this cool tower over a barn and then made a home for my character on the upper floors. Cant wait to see what happens when the area is attacked again. ( I have added brighter versions of the shots due to the darkness of the originals )
Inside the top floors which are two levels. I went with green lights inside and out. I have added more plus on a flip of a switch you can turn regular white lights on.
Auto rocket launches and 2nd level machine gun platforms surround the middle. This area is one of three zones that raiders appear in.
Looking upward from the bottom of the tower. I like to use the mesh flooring to let light in to the lower levels.
Upper living area. Laid out in the most comfortable way possible. No walls as I hate losing line of sight to the windows.
Elevators were in an update to the game. They are designed for factories or farm buildings and the levels they stop at are not the same as regular buildings and they snap to places you do not want them to but I try and get them to work where I can. This is the level below the upper. Elevator head and pool table. Bathroom is to the back. Large shower dual sinks and sectioned off tub and toilet. Storage cabinets for all the collectibles you pick up. 1,500 plus teddy bears so far.
Water is Life. When I started playing this game over a year ago the rule was farm your settlements for fruit as it sold with the highest return. It was a lot of work to pick all that stuff all the time. I found it easier to put purified water systems down as fast as possible. Better return and less picking. Much faster. Below... I am holding 354203 purified water containers. Over 5 million caps worth. I buy building materiel's and specific junk that can be broken down to create other things I need. This is the Far Harbor seller. I usually farm in the main area, then jump to Far Harbor, Sell there then jump to Nuka Cola and sell at the market then back to the main area and sell at Diamond city then Good Neighbor.. Wood, Metal, Nuclear material, copper..etc.
Always fun to watch my Red Rocket facility reappear as you walk towards it.
At Outpost Zimonja the game pops raiders in right on the antenna roof area. After having them blast everything to junk over and over I built a holding area for them. They pop in. Cant escape and destroy thing.. I shoot them through the window then open the door and remove all their equipment... again and again and again. They deserve it... Drug crazed raiders.
Bobblehead collection in Red Rocket. This game is a hoot for all the fun collectibles.
One of the great updates to the game was dummy's to put the sets of clothing you can get and then show them off. This level of the Red Rocket facility is just regular clothes. Raider armor is one floor below.
This had me laughing all the way... I was wandering around as there are so many things shoehorned into every corner you never know what you are going to find.. here is CHEERS! The bar. Norm and Cliff... not much better for the look of it. It is exactly how the show was room for room and piece for piece. Wonderful.
Inside my Red Rocket facility. In the back you can see the stairs going up into the living area and weapons area of the place. So many sets of Armor!
This is usually what happens when a raiding party hits one of my settlements. Multiple rocket, laser and gun emplacements blow you to the next week. Its fun to watch but if you get into it it will hurt you too.
I keep thinking I am wasting too much time on it but I do not sit in front of the television all night and its a good stress reliever...soooo........ I am hoping when Fallout 5 comes out it has the same building ability but with more space to work with. It has been well worth the 65 dollars I paid for it back in Nov 2015
PS I am still wiping drives and processing files at the same time. Also I am thinking of pin designs and other things in my head.
Cathartic.
