Honestly the dungeon finder is super helpful to people like me who have a small amount of time to play. I think they should have treated it like Raid Finder though and had it give lesser loot to encourage doing it properly.

Given it’s advertised on Microsoft’s page for the Adaptive Controller I’m going to guess yes.

It’s not a pack with very many mods similar to IndustrialCraft or BuildCraft (which I adored) but I do enjoy how it gates the progression and my girlfriend and I are addicted to running the vaults in Vault Hunters (Third edition specifically) vaulthunters.gg

Yeah and there was a whole privilege escalation exploit because of that, get system level access whenever you plug in a Razer peripheral because you could open a powershell window from the “Choose where to install” prompt.

I’m honestly surprised that made it past as many layers of checks as it did.

I think it was heavily implied to be nukes in the books but never explicitly stated.

The gardens were above a station that was abandoned though, so bombing it wouldn’t do as much as if it was right over an active station.

I unironically liked it more than when they added NPCs, it was a story about how everyone in the area either fled, died, or turned into a monster while you and your friends from the vault opened up and went out, figuring out what happened as you accidentally your way into different factions kept alive by robots.

Yep! The Plus/Pro line is the good shit. The base models of WD drives are not great now, especially if you’re going to set up a RAID array of some sort.

Those would be the SMR drives, if you don’t want that you’re looking at about $84.

You can get refurbed drives for under $50.

New ones that aren’t white label (which, nothing wrong with that) for 4 TB are about $100.
