I think the lore reason the Cyberdogs are still hostile with animal friend is because they're being controlled by Dr. Mobius, as he says "All Cyberdogs are under my command, and they will bite you" after you go through X-8.

I really hope I am not the only one amused by Jon's excitement to take the 10% running speed bonus while wearing no or light armor - yet he keeps wearing power armor, which is the furthest away from light armor, meaning the entire perk gives him zero benefit.

Isnt there a joke item in Fallout 4 about how the people of the Wasteland are just confused by Credit Cards and theres a conman selling them and no one buys em?

[@PlebNC]

​@@MobysimoNo. The joke of the Fallout 4 item is that it's overtly a scam because credit doesn't have monetary value until merchants accept credit from it so he's selling old credit cards for caps and in exchange you get a card that's worthless because no one accepts credit. Until Far Harbour where exactly 1 merchant accepts it. Why he does isn't explained.

[@METALFREAK03]

@@PlebNC Credit used to mean this as money was actually beholdant to Gold bars. Now most countries do not have their cash supplies from their gold reserves. So real cash now is also just made up. It's why you get women and lefty comedians (even seeping into real life politics) always joke (or being actually serious) nowadays that cash is what "people think it's worth". Which is still utter BS as cash won't just immediately stop being worth anything. Yes the printed amount on the piece of paper might go down in value but that value of that paper is still worth something.

[@lkim100]

@@METALFREAK03 it's worth paper, regardless of the number on the bills it is worth as mush as copier paper, even less since its not blank. but then again, i never believed in gold reserves since i don't believe gold has value beyond being a good conductor of electricity. rarity does not hold inherent worth. it's why diamonds and pearls aren't worth anything either. just because there is a limited amount of something doesn't mean it has any value beyond whatever practical purpose it may provide. in short, copper is worth more than gold because its a conductor like gold, but is plentiful in supply and thus can be used practically on a large scale.

I'd now estimate there has been about 15.5km of moseying in this playthrough. Also, *from* binary *to* English.

Regarding "One" the special boss securitron with a binary name: it does indeed have the Stonewall perk and thus is immune to knockback; and its name is a binary string that when read as a series of bytes (reading each set of 8 bits) it would become 79, 110, 101 which is "One" when encoded as an ASCII or UTF-8 string: it's more of a programming joke than a maths joke.

For the DLC campaigns the ability to leave and return them progressively got more lax: In Dead Money you can't leave until you finish it and once you leave you can never return In Honest Hearts you can't leave until you beat it, but you can ruin the quest to leave early, and can return whenever you want but all of the side quests are gone Old World Blues you can't leave until the end, but once you leave you can return whenever and all the quests (besides the brain's quests) remain Lonesome Road you can come and go from the it as you please and you can return whenever you feel like it, and any side content (there aren't really any full quests in it) is also still available

[@crickett3536]

I liked that about Lonesome Road. You can leave and not make things worse at any point.

[@MotherTruckingOwen]

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

@@asjmpickle Which is a nice cohesion of gameplay and story

[@MrVertigoStudios]

Regarding Lonesome Road, while, to my mind, it's an interesting idea in concept, it's just not executed very well. The base game goes out of its way to establish that the Courier is a complete blank slate with no established backstory, then suddenly out of nowhere Lonesome Road conjures up this elaborate backstory about The Divide and tries to guilt-trip you for something you (as a player OR character) could not possibly have any knowledge of or responsibility for. It doesn't help that the plot of Lonesome Road itself is quite frankly rather ham-fisted and pretentious. Ulysses waffles on and on about flags and nations and symbols when he's basically just a man-child who wants to commit genocide for literally no other reason than that the NCR and Legion don't fit his exact pre-conceived notion of what society "should" be, and he spends the entire DLC hovering his hand over the literal big red button yelling "look at what you're making me do, Courier! You're about to make me nuke everyone! This is all YOUR fault!". And unlike, say, BioShock, where the entire story is carefully built around the central plot twist that recontextualises everything you've done so far, this just comes out of nowhere. If the idea is "the winning move is not to play", then there needs to be adequate foreshadowing that this is the case, and at least offer a satisfying alternate route instead of just shrugging and saying "welp, guess I won't play any of this DLC I paid money to play". You don't have any idea of what Ulysses is actually trying to do basically until the end, at which point you can make the argument that you need to stop him because he could just change his mind and launch the nukes anyway. (What makes it worse is that the game INSISTS that you take his BS seriously and you can never call him out on how utterly stupid his ideology actually is.) The whole thing feels like a cheap shot at the player where the DLC is basically blaming you for something you have absolutely no control over, and acts like Ulysses being a genocidal maniac is somehow YOUR fault. That and the DLC tries so hard to mythologise the idea of a "Courier" that it approaches badly written fan-fiction levels of cringe.

[@zacharysnyder2520]

Fun fact. Casadores are based off the tarantula hawk wasp. Nightmare fuel in real life as well as they get their name from hunting terantulas and laying their eggs in them as well as having one of the most painful stings in the world. They live in my area, absolute demons.

[@zacharysnyder2520]

@@shotgunshells2 hot unsurprisingly

[@LightofJustice93]

But what makes them different, is their sting, which is rated as the second most painful in the world, only hurts a few minutes and can only kill someone if you develop an allergic reaction to their sting specifically. But the Cazadors have been mutated to be EXTREMELY poisonous and do small damage otherwise.

What Jon tries to say around 13:30 is: the robots's "name" is a binary sequence of 24 bits (every 0 or 1 being one bit). Using a technique called utf-8, ascii-Symbols (basically the English alphabet plus some stuff) can be encoded into 8 binary digits a piece - this sequence here decodest to the utf-8 characters 'o', 'n' and 'e', "one".

[@jamesmaceaveli6679]

I was looking for this comment whilst he was fighting him wondering what it meant. 😂

[@benjaminfranklin329]

It doesn't need utf-8, just ASCII. UTF-8 functionally extends Ascii to allow more characters by reserving the most significant bit as an extension bit that allows multi-byte characters to be used, these are three 1 byte characters, so while it is compatible with UTF-8 characters, it's just ASCII.

[@marcherdman3813]

0100 1100 is 79, which is actually the capital 'O' on the ASCII table. So it's a proper noun.

[@marcherdman3813]

Correction: 0100 1111 is 79

[@AspenBrightsoul]

Hey Jon, while you are experimenting with things you never really messed with before. You should totally check out the handloaded perk. It is a bit confusing at first, but it really does help. You can easily add 15 to 30% more damage to any gun.

[@dem0nfr0g39]

handloader is *great*. A good amount of extra damage and no need to swap out AP/HP/Regular ammo

[@randomguyblank1616]

Theres a guy in north vegas that will teach you to make hand load .44 ammo just having enough skill. I think theres' a .357 ammo teacher somewhere too

@37:10 - I think the logic for the speed implant being in the Cazador lab is that Cazador Poison Glands are one of the ingredients of Turbo (ie, the chem that makes you so fast the world seems to slow down around you; a Broc Flower, Jet and Turpentine are the other three ingredients). edit: On the speed issue, it's such a shame that the Stealth Suit Mk II is, without mods, a Medium armor (so no Travel Light or Tunnel Runner speed bonuses) whose 20% crouching speed boost when fully-upgraded is broken and not actually applied, no matter what its description tells you. :(

[@ryancouchman-sawyer2355]

I just had a thought about how this mod technically "breaks" the plot of Point Lookout. If you leave Big MT without replacing your brain and then go into Point Lookout, what does Tobar remove? There's no brain in Wanda's head so what happens?

[@Artix3000]

Maybe it's changed in recent updates, but last time I did a TTW playthrough, nothing in Point Lookout changed. It'd be really neat if the mod team changed out the souvenir item to have a tesla coil in it instead, though.

[@TheLazyFinn]

​@@Artix3000would be a really simple minimod at least

[@champo976]

Imagone how confused tobar would be, he spends his days secretly doing brain surgery on citizens of point lookout at the command of a religious cult, based on his secret room hes done like dozens of surgery at least, then one day he opens up someone's head and they just have a pair of tesla coils in there

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

Pulse slugs are great; it's too bad them being an add-on makes a chunk of Veronica's story make no sense whatsoever: Veronica: "Let's go into the radioactive horror vault to obtain the unique pulse gun prototype to try to convince the Brotherhood that they are on the wrong path..." Brotherhood, if you retrieve unique pulse gun prototype: "It's a unique prototype; this means nothing." The NCR's primary military contractor: "Hey, random civilian, we're having a sale on shotgun shells that absolutely melt power armor; you in?"

[@exploertm8738]

Well to be fair, this gun supposed to be like Mother Of All Pulse Weapons while slugs are in the same category as EMP grenades - nasty, sure, but (at least lore-wise) manageable somewhat.

[@AgentofChaos315]

DT suffers from diminishing returns, past a certain point it doesn't really help you survive anymore, it's not enough DR has exponential returns, where the day to day small attacks it doesn't help nearly as much as DT, but once you get really high up it vastly reduces the damage

[@JB-xl2jc]

And having both high at once? Walking tank

[@rudolfantlerofficial]

There's another perk you can take to increase crouch speed (when wearing light armor): the Lonesome Road perk "Tunnel Runner". It requires 8 in agility though.

[@Streptovarius]

Cyberdogs are counted as animals, they are affected by the hunter perk and increment all challenges that relate to animals. They aren't affected by pulse weaponry, they have 22 health and 2 armor. Pulse slugs do .7x damage even without their pulse effect so it's still plenty enough damage to kill them. Also, as I've stated previously night stalkers are abominations. It's just that for what ever reason animal friend has a few special exceptions as to what it considers an animal or not that makes it a bit inconsistent.

[@lDanielHolm]

For the Securiton boss' name, you need to first break it into three. 01001111 01101110 01100101. The first four digits (0100 or 0110) determine whether it's a capital letter or not. The latter 4 digits (1111, 1110 and 0101) are, respectively, 15, 14, and 5 -- or the 15th letter, the 14th letter and the 5th letter. O-n-e. Binary numbers represent units of 2 (hence the name). We call that number system "base 2." The regular number system is written in base 10. We go from 0 to 9, then add a second digit and start over again -- 10. Binary goes from 0 to 1. So "10" in binary is actually read as 2. Then if you want to write 3, you add 1. 11 is 3. Four then adds a third digit -- just as the base 10 system does when going from 99 to 100. 100 in binary is 4. 0000 = 0; 0001 = 1; 0010 = 2; 0011 = 3; 0100 = 4; 0101 = 5; 0110 = 6; 0111 = 7; 1000 = 8; 1001 = 9; 1010 = 10; 1011 = 11; 1100 = 12; 1101 = 13; 1110 = 14; 1111 = 15 ... and so on and so forth. Five digits is 16, six digits is 32, seven digits is 64, and eight is 128.

[@benjaminfranklin329]

Specifically this is the ASCII encoding of these characters, though also valid as UTF-8 and many other encodings that use the same table for the lower 7 bits.

25:10 Its something I've noticed in my latest playthrough of FNV, crit headshot in paticular are just....kinda OP, not even with guns that do bonus crit damage, even regular weapons just do insane damage with crit headshots.

Regarding Securitron "010011110110111001100101", or "One", that is correct. There's 24 characters here, and binary tends to be grouped into 8 "bits", where 8 "bits" equals 1 "byte", and 1 byte will create an English letter. So if you divide those 24 characters into 3 sets of 8 bits, you get "01001111 01101110 01100101", and the first set is "O", second set is "n", and third set is "e".

This entire playthrough has officially become, for lack of a better term, bananas.

[@docette2015]

That thing with using the fast travel system to time movement speed is so cool! :D It's neat to find little tricks and stuff like that in the game. Does that also work in Fallout 4? I don't recall you ever using your Pip-Boy in your video on the subject. . .

[@indigoenergygamer4350]

I think its kinda cool that they are the same. It would be fair to assume that in real life, some factories might be almost identical as another of the same company in a different location

[@corwinhyatt519]

My math might be a bit fuzzy, but medium armor baseline reduces movement speed to 92.5% (-7.5% movement speed). If the adjustments are additive, as your breakdown implies, that would mean the total movement speed adjustment while wearing the fully upgraded X-13 Stealth Suit with the implant would be + 32.5%. That's only +2.5% more above baseline than Perk+Implant using the Assassin Suit from Dead Money (which would calculate out to + 30% total) with at best 7 more bonus sneak (the 25 listed on the description - 10 for the medium armor penalty + 2 for the additional 1 agility if not at cap for a total of +17 sneak from the X-13 armor) than the Assassin Armor's +10. Toss in X-13's love for getting its wearers addicted to med-x, 5 less mass available for other supplies (X-13 masses 25, Assassin Armor masses 20) and the incessant chatter I'm not seeing the net benefit of X-13 over the just as easily available Assassin Armor. Toss in Tunnel Runner along side Travel Light and the implant and you're looking at a total movement speed while sneaking for the Assassin Armor of +55% which makes X-13 look like even worse of a choice.

I love the Heartless perk for two reasons, first is that your heart is visible in the Sink (the best player home) and second is the Immunity to Poison, which renders Cazadors into significantly weaker enemies, since they rely pretty heavily on Poison for their damage.

[@Sankey84Gaming]

So we know that depending on your standing position the time it takes to fast travel differs. However that brings up a new question what if you actively sprinting when you pull up the pit boy? does it count as standing speed or is that a 3rd option? OR swimming can you technically fast travel swim across the map for a 4th option?

[@TheLazyFinn]

Well the game stops you when you open pipboy and your speed is always the same anyway acceleration doesn't matter here,moving doesn't change that. Swimming is a good question though

[@DasAngryGerman]

I modded fallout 4 so i could craft 2 legendary powers onto each piece of gear, and once you get past a certain speed (like 30-40% increased) the game becomes basically unplayable because every teeny tiny pebble on the ground causes your movement to hitch and stall. I was extremely sad i couldnt be Sneaky B. Fastman.

The giant robo-scorpion in the Forbidden Zone in OWB has more health and DT than the Legendary Bloatfly at level 30-something and above, up to 3.5k or 4k HP and 30DT I think? I don't remember. Though, to be fair, you're not really supposed to kill it through brute force one-on-one. And for the sake of thoroughness, the albino scorpions in FO3 with Broken Steel have 1500 HP, and they're a regular enemy that often come in groups of 2 or 3. I don't remember how much DT they have with TTW though.

[@aaryeekd.mishra3487]

Ah... I just went into OWB around level 31 and took a Proton Axe to that thing wearing the stealth suit. The psycho, medx and the auto stimpacks from the suit are all that saved me there.

The binary translates to three individual letters 01001111 “O” 01101110 “N” and 01100101 “E” giving you the name One

"I'm not cheating, I'm borrowing from the future!" JON YOU FOOL, THAT'S WHAT CAN CAUSE MONETARY INFLATION

[@stuntmankelp3198]

I love how Jon was genuinely suprised at how much that crit did to the bloatfly.

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

Considers using the Sonic Emitter. Literally has no ammo for it. Jon. Jon Never Changes.

27:15 “I've been thinking about Speed..." 😏 "Movement speed!" 😒 So not the 1994 action movie starring Keanu Reeves then? 😜

[@stagnudemorte9191]

i forgot that the securitrons have a face like "A Trip to the Moon"

[@BelthansMods]

"I'm not cheating, I'm just borrowing from the future". The perfect political campaign slogan!

[@kylelewis9163]

I knew you were going to the bloatfly, the first time I fought it I got oneshot at level 30 very rough

[@librarianseth5572]

Day 1073 of requesting Zoo Tycoon. Honestly, a lot of the tech in the Big MT doesn't seem too wildly advanced in comparison to the stuff you can find in other parts of postwar USA. Some of that's power creep, but I also feel like it's a symptom of compartmentalized development. Everyone thought their secret project was the only secret project, and as a result you end up with teleportation, instant cloning, artificial human production, gene splicing, and hologram soldiers scattered across the landscape instead of combined into a single location.

[@sotnosen95]

The Military Cyberdog is more machine now than mutt.

[@EvelynNdenial]

the legendary bloatfly is terrifying indeed but mercy with plasma rounds made short work of it in my last playthrough. also paciencia shreds the thing with the right build.

[@Heshla_Biea]

Killing the legendary bloatfly with single shot rifles is always a headache. An assault carbine or light machine gun with hollow point rounds does the trick for me. Of course the 25mm Grenade APW button mash strategy still does the job here.

The 8,000 caps was just 'resting' in your account......
