Post your in-game stats.

Sorry, “aggression based match making”. As I understand it: The more you PvP the more PvP players you’ll play with, the more you help and PvE the more you end up in lobbies with people that do that. It’s not a science or exact but I’ve noticed a lot less people shooting at me the more matches I’ve played.

I’m enjoying the game so far but I feel like no matter how many hours I’m able to put into it I’m just going to keep being so far behind everyone else. I’m glad they’ve implemented ABMM because getting shot in the back all the time was getting old.

I hope you have as many enjoyable hours in it as I did. Best of luck out there!

While its disastrous launch is legendary, I believe Fallout 76 has finally outgrown its bad reputation. I purchased it on sale a few years ago and ultimately sank hundreds of surprisingly enjoyable hours into Appalachia.

It reminds me of No Man’s Sky - a testament to a development team that listened, worked tirelessly, and transformed a broken foundation into a stable, polished, and content-rich experience. I don’t recall ever spending an additional penny on the game either, so for the price of a coffee, it stands as one of my best value-for-money gaming purchases.

So long as I get to fight naked again I’m all for it.

Yup, that’s essentially been my experience with Steam and chat as well, though it sounds like you might be having an even rougher time than I am. I’m on LXQT, but it’s the only app I’ve used that consistently acts this poorly across different installs and distributions. I’d always assumed it was just a universal “Steam-on-Linux” quirk, but it’s interesting to hear it’s not quite the same for everyone.

Interesting - I’m surprised to hear so many don’t experience this. I’ve used Steam chat on Arch and EndeavourOS for years, and I’ve always found the desktop client to feel a little sluggish, with menus and emoji pickers being particularly finicky. I wonder if it’s related to certain desktop environments or specific setups?

Good call. I use it sometimes, but I find it has its own quirks: GIFs always fail to play for me.

Fallout New New Vegas.

My partner slipped on a banana peel in PEAK, I got a cheap chuckle out of that lol.

It’s the only reason I bought that pile of shit. Them dropping support and then selling out to Epic left a sour taste.

Tim Sweeney is a bitch.

The answer is “Yes”. It’s just “Yes”.
