Griefing in Fallout 76 is pretty much non-existent - it’s an overblown “headline”.

That community has been one of the most friendly and welcoming communities of pretty much any multi-player game in the last few years. Asking a question or for help from a complete stranger and getting way more information or assistance is actually the more common occurrence.

The game has been around for a long time, so welcoming or helping a newbie is sometimes a nice break from the grind for the high-level players.

Come on over newbies - the game has changed a LOT from its original iteration (which WAS a shitshow full of bugs and griefing - which is outdated information from long past).

There would be no way to convince enough people to actually use it (in a vast enough amounts) to rebuild trust from an entity DESIGNED to harvest data.

I’ll probably get beat up a bit over this, but I can’t seem to get away from Fallout76. My buddy and I (several hundred miles away) have yet to find a suitable replacement, so we just keep trudging along.

But in my defense, I have finished all of the others (multiple ways) - Fallout3 was my first introduction to the series.

+1 to New Vegas though (if only it were multi-player)!

Ah…thank you! Now we’re in the spirit!

I can’t believe I haven’t seen a “your mom” joke in here yet! WTF people?!? ;D

I’ve only been married for 28 years…we’re not ready for kids! #idiocracy

I love keeping them on the phone as long as possible! It’s damn-near a hobby of mine.

Today I got one I’ve never heard before. They were from the “Automobile Collision” Company that said they have money for me from my accident! I like free money…let’s do this!

They transferred me three times up the chain…final one was their lawyer - that’s where the call dropped. Suffice it to say…I was disappointed to not hear the end.

One of my favorites, in case y’all would like to use it - I claimed (in a Southern drawl) I was an Alligator Hunter…in Nevada. “Business is a bit slow…and I can’t go to the zoo no more.” Kept them on the line for 44 minutes…almost beat my record.

Do we win a prize for this…please? It’s too hot to sweat, I’m not thirsty, and the shakes are normal, right? RIGHT?!?

I like you…your humor sounds as twisted as mine! Don’t ever change!

But…but…if your glasses are on the bedside table WHILE you’re sleeping - how to you get any reading accomplished?!? ;)

Apparently I got old enough to require reading glasses now (FML) - so reading before bed isn’t as easy an option.

So I found audiobooks via my local library (in the U.S.) that I can just download - w00t!

I still PREFER the old “dead-tree” format, but audiobooks have become a replacement.

And don’t forget - you can increase the speed of the narrator if you feel like their speaking-cadence is too slow.

If it were American “cheese” he’d be preserved for a millenia!

Damn…I’m going to be getting a lot of dog videos from my parents.
