Nah, it's more literal Venture Bros dlc.

so rick and morty?

If you're retarded and think all adult swim shows are rick and morty then sure.

I don't even think Rick and Morty was a show when the DLC came out. Apparently people think sci fi parodies with a mild dark sense of humor are always Rick and Morty now

My favorite Adult Swim shows are now Cowboy Bebop and Inuyasha I guess

>>715530251
How long until even Futurama is seen as Rick and Morty? Humour bad I guess.

>>715530251
It's not that it's literally Rick and Morty, it's that it's the same thing Rick and Morty is. Brainrot that relies on quick and easy "le heccin funne nerd culture" references on top of pretentiousness and thinking it's more clever than it actually is. Rick and Morty wasn't the first show to do it, it's just the most notable example, but if anything Big Bang Theory probably was the foundation of OWB since at the time it was one of the most watched shows on TV. But it's all that same kind of retarded and unfunny "humor" and it's been around since the 90s, and they're the equivalent of dangling keys in front of your face and expecting to react like pic related.

>>715530407

It relies on pop culture references, right-wing people dumb, and gay people good "humor" along with your standard R&M or Bob's Burgers "stuttering awkwardly while delivering lines because that's funny".

>>715530471

Old World Blues is more a parody on 50's and 60's era western and Japanese science fiction. Fallout itself was always a mish mash of different sci fi tropes since it first released, why do you even play fallout games if you're complaining about "muh nerd culture". What you're playing is nerd shit to begin with you loser lmao

>>715530070
i absolutely hate squidbillies except the fucking intros by billy joe. true genius.

>>715530720
Because Fallout 1 wasn't a bunch of interchangeable le wacky 50s pop culture references you fuck. FO2 was skub for a reason, it wasn't supposed to be what Fallout was about. It's about a post-apocalyptic wasteland, not faggot assed 50s-60s popular media garbage.

>>715530636
If reference jokes cause one to lose their shit and call any and all media with one bad then yes he's a retard.

>>715530556
>Right wing people dumb
Believe me, I'm more right wing than you and I think you're an idiot if you think Moral Orel is just "religion bad" when the genuinely religious and not just hypocritical liars in the show are good people and moral inclination of the writers is still based on Christian moral standards. If you think venture bros is just le wacky references and "right wing bad" then you're a retard. It's not even a political show , lmao

You're either a brain rotted zoomer or a truth social level boomers, calling it now

>>715530471
Are you retarded? Old World Blues is a pastiche of 50s and 60s "SCIENCE!!!" movies.

>”””comedy”””
Grow up

>>715530819
>Because Fallout 1 wasn't a bunch of interchangeable le wacky 50s pop culture references you fuck
Yes, anon, it was. If you ever played Fallout 1 or 2 and not just a let's play you would realize Fallout 1 is nothing but references to sci movies and genre tropes with Easter eggs just like Fallout 2.

It's not some Uber serious grimdarl drama piece it's just a roleplaying game

>>715530471
>if anything Big Bang Theory probably was the foundation of OWB since at the time it was one of the most watched shows on TV
You need to be irradiated to death for this ignorant faggot opinion.

>>715530871
Religion bad. Whether Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, whatever the fuck - if you need an external source of morals, you're a beast, and it would be better if you were exterminated, like the animal you are.

The "I never played Fallout" image.
If you actually had played it, hopefully more than once, you would've seen by yourself that this random encounter is so rare that may as well not exist.

>>715531659
>If you actually had played it, hopefully more than once, you would've seen by yourself that this random encounter is so rare that may as well not exist.
What the fuck are you smoking you fucking retarded tourist. Random encounters in FO1 and 2 are sufficiently common that you usually see them all by the end of your run.
If you get to The Master without seeing the Police Box, get a lottery ticket, because that's very very rare.

>>715531659
>hopefully more than once, you would've seen by yourself that this random encounter is so rare that may as well not exist.
No it's not. I come across it every 2 games. Unless you play with shit luck 24/7 but those juicy eye shots are worth the blue box. Another reference is Dogmeat being based on a Boy in His Dog. You can get him as a companion if you wear the Mad Max jacket and then while in Junktown discover that Bobs Iguana bits is made out of people. You probably just don't get the references of Fallout 1 because its not something everyone knows like Star Wars.

>>715530860
Unironically yes, there is zero excuse to use pop culture references because they aren't even jokes. There's nothing funny about them. It's just
>ah geez lois this reminds me of the time *looks directly into camera* that i was lando calrissian(tm) from star wars(tm) flying the milennium falcon(tm) into the death star(tm)
That isn't a joke, there's no humor, you're just irrelevantly referencing something else that exists and hope the viewer will laugh like a seal because he knows that you know that he knows what you're referring to.

>>715531841
>>715531970
NTA but yes, that shit is retarded, but the difference is that 99% of Fallout 1 isn't like that. The 1% sucks, but 99% is completely different. Meanwhile Old World Blues is an entire DLC, worldspace, and series of quests based on LOL REMEMBA [reference]? and LOL RANDOM humor.

>>715532218
Fallout's entire premise is 'what if DnD tabletop game but virtual and taking the piss out of almost every sci fi known to man?'
It's meant to have sprinkles of utter stupidity wrapped around a central gritty core.
Old World Blues succeeds in that, as once you look past the goofy nonsense, it's actually a pretty terrifying story.

>>715530897
One of the scientists speaking exclusively in a '50s era announcer voice really hammers the point in, but unsurprisingly the average /v/edditor is too dense to get it.

>>715531841
>Random encounters in FO1 and 2 are sufficiently common that you usually see them all by the end of your run.
And there it is.
Sorry but now it's obvious you have never played either game.
First of all, not all random encounters are the same. Without high luck it's unlikely that you'll see many of the rarest ones, like Tardis or the UFO.
Secondly, Fallout (1) is such a small game that unlike Fallout 2 it's very hard to be on the road so much that you unlock most if not all of the random encounters. Equating them in random encounters (both the funny ones and the combat filter) is pure nonsense.
>If you get to The Master without seeing the Police Box, get a lottery ticket, because that's very very rare.
That's pretty easy considering you can go to the the Boneyard by caravan guard job. Are you sure you weren't thinking about the Military Base? Even so, it isn't that much time spent traveling so unless you have maxed out Luck every single time is very hard for me to believe that you always get the Tardis encounter.

>>715532423
Just play Fallout 1 and 2 you fucking tourist.
There's no point talking about the game unless you've played it.

>>715532218
>The 1% sucks
You are being extremely generous in your estimation of how much Fallout 1 didn't have references or jokes.
>You see Ed, Ed's Dead
Which how much you hate them, why do you even play Fallout? A srs bsns game like Metro 2033 would be more of your taste.

>>715531970
>shit luck
The difference between 6 luck (5 starting) and 9/10 is massive for random encounters.
Do you play anything but 10 luck meme builds?

>>715532340
Fallout 1 is extremely light on pop culture references, and they aren't the core focus of the game like OWB.
>it's actually a pretty terrifying story.
It's actually fucking retarded, even ignoring the reddit & memey content.

>>715532416

>>715532574
FO1 and 2 are heavily designed around nailing enemies with armor piercing crits.
You'd know that if you played the games.

>>715532574
I already said I like my eye shots anon. I'm not bothered by the references.

>>715532491
Yeah, no argument aside from baseless accusations.

They're insane because brainbots start acting weird, plus they're all lobotomized and drugged up.
The terrifying aspect of OWB is that if they ever escaped Big Mountain, the world would be fucked due to their experiments being that efficient.

>>715532726

People who actually played the games like them, people who 'played the games' (watched some 5 hours long youtube videos) hate them.

>>715532641
I don't think you understand how luck works or how much it really benefits you.
>inb4 Sniper
>>715532656
So why waste points in luck? Eye shots don't benefit from extremely high luck.

>>715532561
But anon, Metro 2033 has pop culture references too. Look, it has references to the book!

>>715532785
The "communism is good and smart" shit in OWB was probably the most annoying part.

>>715532914
>So why waste points in luck? Eye shots don't benefit from extremely high luck.
I'm not versed on the behind the scenes formulas but I thought they did. The more points into luck the higher your chances for critical hits are.

>>715532914
>I don't think you understand how luck works or how much it really benefits you.
A metric fuckload? Because I want my comically huge damage rolls from burstfire crits.

Cry about it retard. They're insane mongoloids because they've been alive in floating biotanks for two centuries longer than they should have been, and weren't fully sane, good people even when they were alive. The game beats you over the head with how Borous, WHEN HE WAS STILL A HUMAN (CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL FOR EMPHASIS BECAUSE HIRO WON'T ADD TEXT FORMATTING) killed his own dog to experiment with the cyberdog system. I'm surprised, with your "I didn't play it but it's REEEEEEEEEDDIT AND BAAAAAAAAAAAD" aura oozing off every shitty post, you aren't focusing on the asian scientist who crossdressed and adopted a female persona once in the robot.

That never happened in San Fran. It is not forced on you and everybody already shits on San Fran in Fallout 2 anyways. Besides were talking about F1 here. Like how Psykers as a term comes from 40k, speaking of 40k those power armor suits sure seem familiar huh? Or Mentats as well, the spice must flow and all.

Thanks for further proving how bad the DLC is.

>>715533402
Notice how 'Lol NV and classic fallouts suck!' fags get upset when you make fun of FO3 and 4.

Yeah OWB just didnt age well.
It was funny when it came out, but since then that kind of humors been beaten to death and largely grown out of by the audience.

Dead Money remains kino though. Always been my fave.

>>715533491
Not him but I'm starting to think you're right and maybe Fallout really has always been ass.

I forgot about the Mentats thing and now that I remember it I also remember how much I fucking hate Dune.

>>715533047
>I'm not versed on the behind the scenes formulas but I thought they did.
It's 1% per point of Luck. Eye targeting gives you a flat 60% base.
It's completely worthless outside of being a requirement for Better Criticals.
>>715533160
Yeah, you don't get it.

>>715533684
>It's completely worthless except for the best perk in the game
Lol, lmao

>>715533735
Correct. And you don't need more than 6 for the "best perk".
10 is a complete waste. 4 extra attributes are a big deal if you can spend them on actually useful effects.

>>715533887
>10 is a complete waste

>big ass pre-war science facility just a few days away from vegas
Proof?

Fuck it, if were just going to talk about classic Fallout.
Where in Sonora do I get the factory parts for Mr. Kogan? I thought I could find something in the abandoned factory. Do need to exit Garage City?

>>715535141
You have to go inside the factory building with Lucas, in the section with the green goo all over the floor.
IIRC what he wants is in a locker.

>>715535416

Ah, and here I was thinking I got softlocked for helping Lucas get data from Kogan computer. I'll go see what I can find.

Don't forget to wear a pair of boots.

>>715535738
I am and still taking damage. I thought it works like F2 where just having the rubber boots in your inventory prevents damage? Maybe its me using Fallout CE? Good thing I tagged doctor.

>>715535826
You need to WEAR a pair of boots. As in USE the item.

>>715535973
Oh I see. Is the boots thing a persistent mechanic for the rest of the game?

>>715536124
Sort of.
There are some relatively rare areas where having boots (one 100% durability "worn" and maybe one extra to spare) will make traversing a place (or getting good loot) easier.

>>715528731
For me it's toaster.
