I think the main issue now is it cost substantially more than a basic ar and will generaly perform similarly.

I wouldn't say they were particularly compact. That rifle is about 39 inches long and a bit over 7 pounds, so it longer and heavier than an original M16 but with a barrel 1.5 inches shorter.

Thanks for the info, Anon. Seems a pretty reliable firearm.
>>4281
That's why I waited til it was on sale, used a deal at the Bass Pro, and called in a debt. Best $800 rifle I ever bought.

I already have a surplus rifle anyway, always get one of those so you have something just in case, and a reliable backup once you get your REAL rifle.

i wish i had the capability to just pack up and leave. start a new life. or hell, just start MY life. i dont and never have felt alive here. i actually really like my town and enjoy what i do for work, but im horribly underpaid for what i do and im so lonely here. every night i have these flashes where reality hits me and i clearly see how unhappy i am with my life. i feel it without fail whenever the veil between waking and sleep is thin. it terrifies me. i only had two things keeping me here and one just did the very thing i wish i could do, she packed up and moved across the country in a single night with no warning. the other is the fact that someone is going to hand over a business to me after he dies. it feels like that’s my only bet at ever escaping the debt ridden trailer park life im expected to enter. 
I dont even know if it’s worth sticking around here to take over this business, i know i dont want to run it, but i desperately want to have stable income and housing in the long term. plus i would disappoint so many people if i left, and i know if i leave and regret it, i won’t have anything left to turn back to. thinking like that is my problem. how can some people just not care? how can i be like that? has anyone here ran away 2000 miles from home with no destination waiting for you?

I packed up what little I had to move on a whim across the country - I met a woman on the internet and figured 'what the heck.' Not quite travelling at random but living out of a motel, buying a car off craigslist, and taking the worst jobs available was quite the experience. I failed hard but it was an interesting 6 months.
>>4247 (OP) 
it seems like you already know what to do here deep within yourself

of course it may be scary, but you can live a thousand lives in your lifetime! if you know deep down living there isn't best for you and it's fucking you over, go start a new life! if you still hate it, do it again until you're happy
i relate to you though. i badly need to leave my hometown as well

I think you’re right. Things seem to be aligning to give me an opportunity to leave. The main company I work for is going under. I just got a new car. I think if I can save up a bit more money before I lose this job, I’ll have enough to start off on a new life somewhere far away. At least for a little while.
I regularly fantasize about going elsewhere, but I have no lucrative job skills and suck at basic adult tasks.
Just get up and go. You clearly long for something. The easiest way to "not care" is to ask yourself if you'll be okay 20 years from now not knowing what would have happened if you went through with it.

Life is terrifying, and there is no textbook guide on when or how to do this. Just know that there is never gonna be a perfect time for something like this. You sound young, you can go off, make mistakes, and still live a happy life.

Does happiness end with your teen years? I will be 21 soon, and I’ve spent the last 3 years trying to feel like I used to feel when I was 16/17. I even bought the same perfume I used when I was 16 to feel something, but nothing… and my life is so much better now. Teen me would die to have my current life, far away from my abusive parents, in a beautiful apartment (I was very poor and used to live in a shack), making money by working a few hours. I have more freedom than before, yet I feel so empty. I still consume the same media, still find new things, I still keep creative, but I feel numb always. I today accept that I cannot see the world the way I used to back then. I just wish teen me had a chance at a better life, but she was still happy with the simple things and had purpose.

It would be cool if that's what it actually was. Unfortunately, I didn't get a very good look at it. I was standing out beneath an open sky, but there were trees off to my side where I saw it. At first I thought it might have been a firefly, but you'd think there would have been more if that were the case. In this place I've only ever seen fireflies one other time in all the years I've lived here, and I don't remember them glowing white. This was a few nights ago.

Last night I went out to look and see if I could see anything, but the stars weren't visible at all. It sucked, since I was hoping I might be able to see something.

I just decided to go outside and got a clear view of one after being out there a pretty short time. I think there was another not long after, but I didn't have a very good view of it.

I'm glad I was lucky enough to get a good look at one. This must have been what I saw the other night too.

Congratz! BTW, this 'peak' is more like a bell curve. The Perseids will go on for a few more days (though rn is the peak). Long story short, go out in a dark sky and you'll see more. Good luck, Anon.

you're still the same person. the trick is to feel differently about yourself. sometimes changing everything outside yourself can convince you you're not who you thought you were.

Have you ever had a paranormal/extraterrestrial encounter? 
As a child, I used to spend my summers at the house of a family friend’s elderly grandmother with my cousin. She had a yard that stretched on seemingly forever, which we would wander through for hours, catching fireflies, tossing leeches at each other in the creek, chasing crawdads, and driving “the jeep” through a muddy trail someone had carved through the woods. However, we were always warned to stay away from the old barn that sat in the corner of her field on the edge of the woods. Despite being an elderly German woman in Appalachia, Oma firmly believed that there was a chupacabra that lived in the rafters. Neither us kids or our parents were allowed near the barn, which seemingly had not been touched in decades. 
One night when catching fireflies, my cousin and I were sent to the barn on a dare. I will never forget the terror I felt when I pointed my flashlight upward and saw a hunched, hairless grey figure with sunken eyes sitting on the loft amidst a sea of garden hoses and wire coils. I don’t believe it was a chupacabra, there was something distinctly alien about it. I had waking nightmares for years after, always convinced I’d turn around to see it running after me. Though it never did chase me that night I saw it. Oma passed soon after so I never went back to her house again, and my cousin moved to Oregon around the same time. I’ve not talked to him in years. I’ve heard his dad recently committed suicide

my last character was a socially inept savant who taught herself how to speak properly (1 CHA, 9 INT) crit energy weapons build. used the YCS/186, Holorifle, and the Q-35 Matter Modulator.

Replies: >>4105

Probably Honest Hearts or Dead Money. The enemies in Old World Blues and Lonesome Road get so tanky they can become obnoxious and drag down the overall experience for me a bit. I wish enemy health and your own, etc. didn't scale with your level, at least not as aggressively as it does. This gets annoying in the base game too, all super mutants becoming Masters, etc. but it's especially annoying with robo-scorpions and deathclaws in the Divide.

>energy weapons sort of trivialize the game honestly. 
There are a lot of decent options for energy weapons. Even the upgraded laser rifle is shockingly powerful.  I think setting up your character around Super Slam or And Stay Back might be the most overpowered way to go though.

How does one get out of the house recreationally?
I love taking hikes and working out, but that's all I do. I need something else. I don't mind spending little money, but shopping gets stressful because I don't have a lot of space. My friends aren't in the area right now, and it's pretty tough to make any more when I don't leave the house. I don't drink and I don't particularly like boozers, so bars are off the table. Bands never come into my area, so concerts aren't viable. I've looked for stuff for ages, and come up with nothing.

Sometimes I get bored and follow ambulances around small towns. (Safely, slowly, from a distance.) This weekend I ended up watching someone getting airlifted. A bit grim but I get to see things I don’t usually see every day

I feel like it's rude to talk to people in the library. Though, I do wish I could have thought of something to say to the girl in the leopard print trench coat at the book store crouched down to look at the erotic literature section.

I miss the old internet, especially the parts I never got to experience. So instead of doomscrolling and letting the algorithm decide what I see, I’ve been spending some of my free time exploring what’s left of it.

It sucks seeing so many forums and imageboards fade away. Some are still accessible through Web Archive, like 420chan and Dreamchan, but a lot, like Late Nights, are just gone forever. Still, I’ve noticed small communities popping up again, which is awesome. We really need an internet built for people, not just for AI and inflated egos.

I miss how simple and full of substance things used to be, so I want to bring some of that back, and maybe even create something new. Even the new communities are lacking of something, it's like they are trying to emulate the aesthetics only (the ones I found until now)

so, anon, got any cool nostalgic websites to share? 

Saw this one yesterday, pretty interesting. The person that made this is really creative.

>Pic used to be what the rant page looked like back in the early-mid 00s. He's since toned it down, but he's kept the yellow text and Doom texture background to make it hard to read on purpose.
That type of sincere anger is a breath of fresh air these days. The way people get their drawers in a knot about being perceived as "cringe" or "edgy," even if it's only half serious or even completely exaggerated, is so gay. Everyone's so afraid of showing any personality or exhibiting any traits that could potentially fall outside of consensus-approved characteristics.

I've never been very big on most of the raging AVGN type of video humor (Tourettes Guy excepted), but written stuff like that pic does genuinely make me laugh. It reminds me a bit of Maddox. I actually used to be a big fan of The Best Page in the Universe, although I discovered him after his heyday (although thankfully still before Maddox totally jumped the shark).

Now that I just thought of him, I might as well post a bit of his material I thought was comedy gold back in the day:
