Codsworth didn't help much in the assembly plant, so when I returned to Sanctuary I switched him out for Preston.

It turns out Preston is even worse. Although I'm not tripping over him constantly, he only shoots his laser musket about once every ten seconds. Even if I give him a different gun, he constantly wanders off while I'm frantically running away from ghouls, mirelurks, mole rats, or whatever else is about to two-shot me.

This time I got cornered in the Super-Duper Mart by a legendary ghoul. Preston, of course, was helpfully saying random lines about the Minutemen and rebuilding thereof while I ran away, triggering yet more packs of ghouls. I eventually died without Preston firing a single shot in my defense.

The "Lone Wanderer" perk is looking more attractive by the second.

Especially since you can still use Dogmeat with Lone Wanderer!  Or so I heard.  I liked dragging Nick or Danse around for commentary but mechanically Lone Wanderer seems like a much better choice.

The reign of blood of King Halfdan 'Whiteshirt' of Wales, son of Lothbrok, bearer of Mjolnir and possessing 140+ combat rating... was killed in a duel by a random baltic chieftain with -9 combat rating.

Always sucks when that happens.

Though, to be fair, there is little more dangerous in combat than someone who has no idea what they are doing. They'll pull off stupid moves that no trained warrior will try because it's sure to get you killed, which can surprise a trained warrior enough that sometimes it actually works.

I know this, because I've trained quite a few newbies in shinai & medieval weapons combat before. You can beat them 99% of the time with ease, but that 1%...

Completely neglected defenses of any kind. Turns out, when the bugs start to attack, they don't exactly ever stop. They pretty much ravaged my starting area, including my primary iron source.

Time to apply what I've learned to a new map, I guess.

First the aliens killed all people in my base when shooting at taking of Valkyrie Interceptor, then they shot the Interceptor down, because it was too damaged and refused my order to retreat, instead landing in my base being shot at by the aliens.

I accidentally rediscovered Outpost Zimonja while trying to fill out pieces of the map that I had ignored in my last playthrough. I started sniping at it from an overpass nearby. Boomer missed with his mini-nuke and ran up to my hiding spot to punch me to death. Luckily, Preston was useful for once, distracting Boomer so I can shoot at his armor's fusion core. I hit it with a VATS critical, killing Boomer and several nearby raiders, securing a level up!

And then I fall off the overpass and die on impact.

Fallout 4. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DESTROYED OVERPASSES IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE?

Goblin Ambushers would probably look like badasses if they weren't the enemy. They wear armor that looks kind of like a ghillie suit, they use poison arrows, and they can shoot first much of the time.

Unfortunately, they're the enemy - and thus they almost immediately cut down one brother and poisoned another before the first turn was done.

I had 2 extra tenants than I planned on, me as the horrible racist I am was trying to get a specific race as a tenant.  So every time someone I didn't want showed up when I placed the deed I would immediately murder them by taking the deed away.

Unfortunately the slime person race is immune to death in this way so they still hung around when I removed and replaced the deed.  Worse yet THEY DON"T PAY RENT.

I tried murdering them by dropping lava on them but either they had massive amounts of HP or were just immune to lava.

Then I got a plan.  One of the merchants in the basement have a loot box item that consistently spawns horrible death dogs upon use capable of killing my tier 5 armored character in literal seconds.  So I bought 2 of them.  Then I managed to get the 2 slime...things into a room together.  I ran in, used the 2 death dog boxes.... and threw up my shield in a desperate attempt to outlive the 2 unarmed NPCs.  I lasted about half a second.

Fortunately though everything else in that room died when it suddenly became a blender of teeth and claws in the time it took for the player death animation to play, so the plan was a success.

Watching Sword Art Online again this weekend made me long for the battle royale experience, so I decided to fire up Apex Legends for a few games.

One of our squad must have been playing on a 56k modem or something, because I couldn't tell what was going on. I hadn't experienced lag that bad since playing Halo 1 on my neighbor's stolen wi-fi. I died somewhere in the middle of all the jumping around without even picking anything up.

Apex Legends.
