@owashii@snouts.online and then FONV comes along by Obsidian and is the best fallout game since fallout 2?

@owashii@snouts.online hey remember how in Fallout 3's core game world Bethesda stuck their own HQ in the game and let you explore its ruins? because they were that desperate to make Fallout theirs? and they spent all their time on "environmental storytelling" and the sidequests which are all infinitely more interesting than the core game story because they can't write coherent long form stories to save their lives?

@owashii@snouts.online holy lol fuck XD Every so often I am like "hm i wonder if I should just give fallout 4 a chance, the wiki makes it seem like it and its DLC are kinda interesting" and then I remind myself "yeah but it's Bethesda's writing so it's gonna be fuckin garbage adn I don't wanna pay for that"

@owashii@snouts.online right? TOTALLY a fine DLC, the very fact that it added only like an hour of content AT MOST if you really took your time and they still charged full price for it is totally fine

okay actually another point for Operation Anchorage in FO3, you got some fuckin' sweet loot out of it. that gauss rifle oh my god I loved that weapon. Also kinda liked that because it was a simulation written by some rabid, racist knobjockey it was a full on pre-war propaganda piece, so full of horrid stereotypes and "FUCK YEAH AMERICA" bullshit, lol and it was internally consistant with Fallout's crapsack world.

@owashii@snouts.online or you could just play a Call of Duty game :3

I got Fallout 3 for free due to winning some vouchers at work. I pirated all the DLC.
I'm glad I didn't spend any money on it because YOWCH.

Fonv tho? I bought the ultimate edition and do not regret it.

Okay I'm going to walk that back only slightly. The one DLC in Fallout 3 that I actually enjoyed was Operation Anchorage but that was only because it changed Fallout 3 into a straight up FPS game. Point Lookout could have been interesting but it was short, tiny, uninteresting and full of godawful fetch quests.
Mothership Zeta? Oof. just... fuck. badly balanced dlc, awful level layouts. No interesting lore. And the alien weapons look like ass.
Don't EVEN get me started on Broken Steel holy fuck.

as opposed to Fallout 3's dlc which is largely total friggin garbage

I've played FONV like, three times before all the way through, this is like my fourth playthrough total as a result. Every time though, I am continually impressed by how good all four DLC are.

@cozykaffe@snouts.online doki ko country

@lizardsquid if it's the latter, then the easy explaination is that the player/app literally pauses the podcast to deliver an ad at specific "ad break" markers, plays the ad, then resumes the podcast much like a youtube ad does or whatever.

Disclaimer, I am in no way technical or knowledgeable about such topics I'm just... guessing here ^^;

@lizardsquid Is the podcast played via a downloaded mp3 file or through a particular bit of software like an app or something for the bbc? If it's the former, I suppose it's possible that there could be set "ad break" sections in the mp3, and the page uses advertising algorithms to select specific pre-created ads for the downloader's country/"interests" etc, then inserts the relevant audio into those breaks.
