My first time committing to an actual playthrough and I’m having fun

I finally decided to play Fallout 4 and actually play it for once. And I am very glad I did. I always hated the idea of playing it because I hate having to work towards getting new stuff (which is coming from a Death Stranding fan lol) so I never really got hooked on the game. The idea of slow but rewarding progression I just hated. But last night I decided to give a fresh playthrough a try. And..I’ve been playing all night. I’m at level 63 and I have four sets of power armor. One being Brotherhood and one being Enclave. I’ve never he so much fun with a game before and the idea that I can level up fast just for beating people up with a special power fist I got is amazing. I’m working on doing side quests and straying away from the main story for now but I atleast have Valentine with me. Please give me any tips and suggestions on what I should do next. I should also mention that I do have mods for this playthrough but mostly QOL.

Our dog chewed my wife’s passport 12 hours before our international flight

We were packing for our family trip to Jamaica and I hear my wife scream upstairs. She just tells me “I’m not going to Jamaica” and shows me her passport. Only the main page shown is torn. Nothing else. (The image depicted is after she tried taping it back together) She dropped it on the bed for a second and the dog got to it. And she is normally not destructive like that, but despite how pissed we were, we couldn’t blame her. After reality has sunk in, I hopped on a call with some passport department inquiring about an emergency passport. They apparently only give them out if there is a death in the family etc. They searched for appointments nearby and the only one on the east coast was in Buffalo NY at 8am the following day. So we changed my wife’s flight, and sent her tour to buffalo, and got her a 10:45 am flight out from Buffalo to Orlando, then to Jamaica hoping that it would work. They don’t guarantee that you will get it same day, but the reviews for the location were surprisingly positive so we were hopeful. She shows up an hour early, is first in line and they tell her they can get it same day, but won’t start printing passports till 10am. The manager came out and told my wife she should probably change her flight because he can’t guarantee that she will get it in time for the 10:45 flight. She comes back around 10, sits right, and the woman at the front desk gives a friendly wink to my wife. At 10:15 the manager tells my wife’s passport is printing. Around 10:20-10:25 they hand it to her and she hits the find driver button on the uber app. She gets picked up, and takes the 15 min ride to the airport. The uber driver told her he’s driven MANY people that flew from out of state to Buffalo for a same day passport and he believed she could make it. Well she did. Boarding got delayed but she make it with like 10 minutes to spare and arrived in Jamaica only 3 hours after we did. Was beyond exhausting! TLDR: dog chews wife’s passport 12 before flight. Wife flys to Buffalo for only available appointment, gets her passport same day and barely makes her flight to eventually meet us in Jamaica only a few hours after our arrival.

Assaulted in the Shadows Near My Home 😢

I'm typing this with tears streaming down my face, shattered by the horror I endured. I was walking home from university, the night cloaking the streets in darkness. A gnawing feeling that someone was stalking me haunted every step, so I begged a guy friend to meet me. My gut was right—too damn right. Just as I neared my house, a shadow caught up, a rough hand clamped over my mouth, dragging me into the bushes like prey. Fear paralyzed me; I couldn’t even fight back. This monster hauled me into the undergrowth, tore my pants at the seams, and forced himself inside me. His hand stifled my screams, leaving me to weep silently, enduring the violation. He pounded into me with brutal speed, treating me like filth. I prayed for it to end, hoping he'd finish soon, but then I felt... [Read more]
