Hell, Fallout 4’s interpretation could have been so much more tragic if, since they’re randomly dropped into the Commonwealth by the Institute, what if they didn’t naturally join up in gangs, but will naturally seek out their homes with what little memory (or muscle memory) they have, which would inevitably result in them being run off in most cases and forced into their brutish lifestyles as depicted in game?

It feels like such a missed oppurtunity

I personally think super mutants could be more tragic if you could see more into their human side.

I’m just not familiar with american ecology. I wonder if this means NCR textiles have much poorer threadcounts, maybe they have early industrialisation-style looms?

Maybe I’ve just been skimming over things, but doesn’t the sub only really provide guides for sizing? Personally, I’m asking for advice on material, and being able to appraise pieces that will have a longer lifecycle, y’know, sustainability and cost effectiveness and all :)

also no, you will not be forgiven

I’m trying, okay, I am!

Oh, no, I can access it, it’s just that it seems to include a map of auctions, but due to not being in the US, visiting them isn’t really an option.

I generally try to stay pretty terse in regards to information, but I think that leaving it general could be quite helpful, as it would invite a larger diversity of reccomendations that people in future could benefit from.

whats the fabric made out of then? some kind of hemp or canvas

It also only covers about 25% of the torso, so it could simply be that it’s not very complete coverage despite it’s construction.

is there a difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ military surplus stores? the ones I’ve seen appear to be replicas, or clearly not local surplus, which causes me some concern

thank you for the clarification :)

seems a useful site. shame it’s US-only by the looks of it, though.

How are they for high temperatures?

truly? huh, TIL. Guess it isn’t quite so versatile a tool tho :P

guess that’s the real fault with enshittification, huh? thanks for the advice for picking through things!

do you have advice for finding stuff on ebay? when I try it tends to seem like a lot of ‘not what I searched for’ listings

sorry, but in vault c/fallout no one ever enters, and no one ever leaves. get outta here

my digestion :(

I kept the post pretty gender neutral because I wanted to contribute to making a kind of ‘psuedo masterpost’ on the topic, and am hoping to invite a large swathe of experiences (goodness knows lemmy needs some haha)

A problem for me is I’ve always been too stingy to experiment, as your friends have, though I’m hoping to change and develop from there, but am hoping for advice to help narrow things down

kinda wish i had a swiss army knife now. will a woodcutting axe suffice?
