    I am imagining a player made town where a Westside story style love story between a Tunnel Snakes gal and a The Kings guy can take place.

    that doesn't sound possible, as any sane reasonable person would purge anyone claiming to be a tunnel snake with fire.

    I just dismissed it as a dick joke but apparently there are meme videos. Also dick jokes.

    Don't forget this is the same internet that found "arrow in the knee" to be hilarious until it was cool to say it wasn't hilarious.

    Basically... don't bother trying to understand it because they just rule? /boggle.

    On the subject of Fallout Shelter... (continued from my earlier post about them)

    Deathclaws are no joke and they did a ton of damage to my dwellers before dying. While most of the fights were draws (w/o dying. Except the Charisma Pope... but he's only level 1), they were able to hurt a lot of people. Also, they don't steal resources, they're just there to kill.


    I think that a low level vault that gets hit with Deathclaws would probably get wiped.

    It has encouraged me to finish upgrading everyone's weapons to be 8 minimum damage instead of 6 though.

    Arrow in the knee is the worst.

    Although it did give us this video:

    I got Fallout Shelter running on Bluestacks... haven't done too much with it just yet. I was hoping once you had been through the tutorial once that you wouldn't have to do it again. I'd really like to change the initial vault layout, but the tutorial doesn't let you do anything but what it wants you to do. Very annoying.

    Anyway, zooming in and out seems to be extremely fiddly in Bluestacks, which could be a fairly major issue, given the way the game plays out...

    I started using bluestacks but every time I changed focus to a different window I had to sign in again to my google account. Is this the best app player out there?

    Huh, that's weird. I wasn't getting that, but every time I clicked on any of the leaderboard-type tabs in Fallout Shelter, it would keep telling me that I needed the most recent version of Google Play. Even after I downloaded it the first time... maybe there was something I needed to set up once it installed, I didn't look into it too much. No idea what other players there might be, I only just barely got into such utilities.

    I'm starting to worry a bit about my vault's future genetic diversity. As if starting with 5 females wasn't bad enough, one dude got them all pregnant.

    In twenty years, this place is going to be full of homps.

    Don't worry. Just start letting some radiation make its way into the lives of your vault dweller and it will shuffle some genes around enough to mix in some random diversity.

    man

    experimenting with wiping out the brotherhood on my melee character on hard

    and i was getting my shit wrecked despite popping a psycho and med-x, and abusing GRX

    because of the damn turrets (even destroying the damn things, the splash damage was enough to cripple limbs and knock off 50+% of my health)

    so finally i give in and hack the damn things

    and it turns out the turrets are so broken that they can comfortably wipe out the brotherhood by themselves

    Dust is nuts.

    Thought I had it all figured out and was going to go full on melee tank to avoid the ammo drought but guns absolutely rip you (and your enemies) to shreds. Actually find myself frantically searching downed enemies to quickly take their shitty gun with four bullets in it to take down their buddies before I'm fucked and then throwing it back on the ground.

    First time I've ever felt threatened enough to actually use cover in a Fallout game. Only complaint is enemies still have infinite ammo and are a crack shot so it weighs heavily in their favor.

    Tunnel snakes rule is funny because of the in game reasons, there's nothing meta, it's just a ridiculous and silly gang, and all their posturing and cheese is what makes such a ridiculously unthreatening phrase so funny

    The arrow in the knee was just the fact that skyrim was massively popular, even amongst casual gamers, and that it's an odd thing to say and reflects the weirdness of NPCs insisting on telling you about themselves or what they're thinking as you walk by expressing zero interest

    Not to mention Tunnel Snakes are the obvious target for lewd jokes due to the name.

    It's half the reason why Sarah Weintraub's "My vault runs deep and wide! It's full of corridors and rooms that go far" line is so funny; it's loaded with sexual innuendos, and if I learned anything about Fallout, it's full of silly sexual innuendos throughout the entire series.

    "Tunnel Snakes rule" started as a dumb meme. It wasn't turned into one by the internet. It's more than half of Paul's lines.

    You can mate two dwellers, buy a lunchbox, or... occasionally a dweller will come up to the vault on his/her own... you don't have enough people to get a Radio Station going yet (I think it's 20 dwellers for that). I also think once you put a radio station down people will stop randomly approaching your vault.

    IIRC, male and female dwellers with the same last name can't mate because that's the only thing that keeps incest from happening. (edit: Apparently you can have incest babies.)

    edit: a dweller child will always have the last name of their opposite sex parent by default.

    It's odd that you can't banish people to the wastelands.

    I mean, you can put them on The Long Walk... and then opt not to revive them, but I kind of wish there was a cleaner, less obviously lethal option.

    Yeah, rarity colors was a good QoL addition, and Deathclaws are a game changer and a half.

    A quality of life addition that I'm not a fan of is this notification:

    She's been exploring for 2 days and has 11 stimpacks left. I think she's fine.

    I haven't sent a large batch of dwellers out post patch because DEATHCLAWS... but I hope it doesn't spam that notice for each dweller.

    If you want a more efficient way of getting rid of unwanted dwellers, just stick them in the vault entrance with no weapons and wait for raiders/deathclaws. Also in case anyone is wondering caps max out at 999,999.
