    1. New Vegas is more accurately labeled an RPG with shooting mechanics as opposed to Fallout 4 and Starfield, which are shooters with some RPG elements.

    There is quite a bit of combat, but you can beat the game without killing a single thing if you want.

    1. Some mods I use and recommend:

    Necessary

    NVAC (New Vegas Anti Crash) - Hard recommendation.

    FNV 4GB Patcher - Hard recommendation.

    NVSE (New Vegas Script Extender) – Necessary for most mods.

    YUP (Yukichigai Unofficial Patch) - Bugfixes.

    Mod Configuration Menu - Lets you configure mods in-game.

    New Vegas Stutter Remover - Hard recommendation.

    Necessary for More Mods

    JIP LN NVSE Plugin

    lStewieAl’s Tweaks and Engine Fixes – Absolute ton of QoL improvements and options.

    JohnnyGuitar NVSE

    kNVSE Animation Plugin

    Not Necessary, but I Like Em

    More Perks – Adds more perks and traits to the game. Not necessarily super balanced.

    Fallout Character Overhaul – Makes the game much less ugly.

    New Vegas Enhanced Camera – Allows you to view your torso and legs in first-person.

    JVS (Just Vanilla Sprint) – Allows you to sprint, using your AP as a sort of stamina bar.

    Perk Every Level – Definitely unbalanced when considering what the developers were shooting for, but I’d personally much rather have a perk every level than every two. Even better with More Perks.

    There are more. I would recommend checking out New Vegas’ most popular mods on NexusMods..

    Plenty of other cool stuff, like new weapons, side-quests and companions. The game is genuinely great vanilla, too, though, and I wouldn’t recommend anything too crazy for your first run.

    Not so vanilla you go without the anti-crash and stutter mods, though. Great game. Runs like hot garbage.


  • Warning ⚠️: Nasty Images, Creepy Crawlies

    A lot of folk will never know they have bed bugs - the only indicators being blood from squashing them in one’s sleep, filth in their nests, blood from their fecal matter, and their eggs.

    For me, I’ll know I have them when my skin looks like this after sleeping.

    It is the itchiest thing imaginable. So much worse than mosquitoes or other insect bites, in my experience. When they bite, it feels like an electric shock. I’ll jolt, scramble on my bed looking for the villain, only for their ridiculous speed to make it impossible to catch them in the act.

    I get paranoid even thinking about them. If I feel what feels like a bite, I won’t be able to sleep. I’ll spend all night lifting up my mattress, my bed frame, looking underneath everything, opening every vent, and checking every corner. They’re sneaky as shit, though, and can prove almost impossible to find. Worse still, they’re amazing climbers.

    If you see stains like this on your sheets or pillows, be wary. You likely squashed a few of the monsters in your sleep.

    They can hide anywhere. I don’t have pictures of it, but my parents had doors with grates/vents on them, and they were stained dark red and brown from the bed bug infestation. They can get in your outlets, too.

    Imagine a blissful night of sleep being interrupted by this thing crawling on the back of your neck. I picked one off of me and I swear I was stunned. I started squishing the fucker in my fingers trying to figure out what the hell it was before throwing it across the room. In hindsight, I should have flushed it down the toilet. It probably would have survived, regardless. The bastards survive almost anything, especially bug sprays specifically marketed towards killing them.


    Don’t let the images or my descriptions make anyone reading paranoid. It feels like even mentioning the words “bed bug” is enough to manifest them into existence, sometimes. You probably know if you have them. If you’re worried, be on the lookout for stains like those in the spoiler, and cylindrical off-white tubes about the size of a pen’s tip. Kill on sight, and show no mercy. They will show you none.









  • I would not say without a fight. The Finnish Whites massacred the Finnish Reds (…and by extension anyone at all thought to be sympathetic to workers).

    The victors massacred the vanquished. Since ancient times class wars have always been the most frightful. There are no more bloody and atrocious victories than the victories of reactionary classes. Since the blood-bath inflicted on the Paris Commune by the French bourgeoisie, the work had not seen anything comparable to the horrors of Finland. From the first shot of the civil war, “belonging to a workers’ organization in White territory meant arrest; to have been an official in such organization meant execution. The massacre of socialists reached such proportions that it ended by interesting no one.” At Kummen, where 43 Red Guards fell in battle, nearly five hundred persons were executed! There were “hundreds” executed at Kotka, a town of thirteen thousand inhabitants. “They didn’t even ask their names; they just led them away in groups.” At Raumo, according to a bourgeois newspaper, “five hundred prisoners captured on May 15 got the punishment they deserved the same day.” “April 14 in Toeloe, a suburb of Helsingfors, two hundred Red Guards were killed with machine guns … The Reds were hunted from house to house. Many women perished.” At Sveaborg the public executions were set for Trinity Sunday. In the neighborhood of Lakhtis, where the Whites took thousands of prisoners, “the machine guns worked several hours a day.” “On one day alone two hundred women were killed with dumdum bullets; pieces of flesh flew in every direction.”
