People add settlements all the time here. Many are excellent. Some are in bad places and not so easy to work with. Some are (or are ALSO) in places of bad cell overlapping. There are, of course, settlements in vanilla that are badly placed and/or stuck with overlapping cell issues. The Red Rocket outside of Sanctuary Hills would have served much better as an extension of the Sanctuary Hills settlement if at all, but it is (barely) workable if you avoid the dreaded Triangle issues with them and Abernathy Farm (not to mention nearby and object-rich Concord). No, the worst one by far in the Commonwealth is Hangman's Alley. Its build space is hideous. It has a bunch of unscappable greeb. its surrounding cells intersect with those of Diamond City, leading to nightmares in their own right (especially for Diamond City Outskirts users) and the whole thing's in the middle of Boston. Many people gfo out of their way to negate getting assigned the place by Preston. I say enough already. We need a mod to remove the workshop and make it not a settlement (maybe move to whole works to the hilltop over Vault 81 and make the clearing out be the Yao Guai there) and just wipe out the Raiders at Hangman's Alley because they're raiders. Bag the settlement option--it sucks!

As it says in the title, a pretty pointless and silly mod. Synopsis of the idea: Run a dosbox vm and leave it minimized, then run skyrim. Somehow ingame, you could find an equippable item. Equipping it would somehow show you what the dosbox vm window was rendering at the time in fullscreen, and it would pass your input to the dosbox vm. In effect, a dosbox gameboy in skyrim. Kind of like the pipboy in fallout, I guess? Except instead of your pipboy menu screen you'd get your dosbox terminal. Would be a plus if you had the option of not pausing skyrim while doing it, and even more of a plus if you could make a static 'desktop' version. Not sure if it would possible to do an in-world render target and say, have a projector screen, but that's unnecessary. Someone's gotta play daggerfall while in Skyrim. Or Zork. Or run windows 3.1.

I’m taking advantage of anonymous status on the internet and rant about something I sort of want to get off my mind. To save time, just skip this whole thing. Word of warning, English is not my native language, so there’ll probably be some mistakes here. As the title says, I’m “afraid” of getting into a relationship. Don’t get me wrong though, I don’t have any one-night affairs either, I’m not like that. What I’m afraid of is not the actual commitment to someone, but the possibilities of any form of abuse or getting cheated on. One of my problems is that all men seem to be jerks. Of course I know there are many men who are actually proper human beings, but let me further explain; I feel like media promotes the worse sides of men and these impressions really amplify when I see some of those similar traits in men in real life. I don’t know if this sounds too emo but I’ve sort of lost hope for humanity. I remember when I saw the first American Pie movie as a kid and it really got me thinking that every male will eventually turn out like in that movie. I know this sounds pretty stupid, but that’s how I feel and it’s partly because of this “loss of faith” that I’m afraid of getting into a relationship. I really want to emphasize; I know that many men are not the wannabe badass jerks. I don’t exactly demand that many things from men, I do have few must have trait demands, but none of them are based on shallow values. Everyone knows personality comes before looks, even if they don’t they’ll figure it out sooner or later. Without a matching personality people seem more unpleasant, no matter how handsome/beautiful they are. Now before you start calling me a feminist extremist (if that even is a thing), I want to say that the loss of hope for humanity applies to women. Media plays a big part in this as well. I think there are many bad examples of females in media, which in return starts to give the impression that men prefer those kind of women. The beauty “demands” on media seem to be very high as well, which makes me feel extremely unsure of my own “worth”. Compared to the women all over media my looks are definitely below average, and again I know that these images are edited to remove any “imperfections” that every normal human has. It’s very easy to draw impressions from the media since it is all around us, unfortunately I never really seem to meet any of these proper people. Then again I guess in a small place it’s easier to find the majority of these “lost causes” than the few proper ones. So yeah… I suppose that’s pretty much it. This post will probably get lost behind the popular threads, but at least I got this rant off my mind. Honestly this could’ve been summarized in only couple sentences, but oh well… I like writing.
