It’s pretty obvious and the point is you don’t *need* to know that to just click that option. All you need is speech 100

If you do yes man you barely have to any interaction with the legion whatsoever. So now who’s lying?

Saying he’s doing to β€˜make new vegas look bad’ is not correct.

He’s not presenting it fully for the sake of brevity. You can beat laneus if you have speech 100 and just pick obvious options.

Fallout 1 actually requires you to discover something in game, FNV does not. The main point stands.

He considers FNV the best game ever made and has said so on many occasions.

Ah awesome, thanks! I don’t know how many kids in the UK today have had a foamy banana to be honest but it was a ubiquitous sweet when I was young.

Six years since I brewed my first beer for @pelliclemag.com

Humorous but Foolish, a banana milkshake IPA.

It’s a descriptor I use for hefeweizen. I never think it smells of real banana

More questions for Americans: do you have these foamy banana sweets or is that just a UK thing?

I would join in with Spotify wrapped but apparently I only listened to songs for 157 minutes all year. I don’t *think* that’s right as I have a playlist on when I’m brewing and that’s about 7 hours.

I think he’s a self parody. Like I can’t believe he’s actually really like that. I have to think it’s a character.

So if I’m writing for a US audience I should just say gallons?

02.12.2025 22:28 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Americans: would you just say β€˜gallons’ or would specify US Gallons?

In the pandemic my local cafe did a Sunday lunch delivery. Fantastic.

I do like the idea of infiltrating and just slipping in sparklers

Unpopular opinion: CAMRA serving warm, unsparkled cask at festivals is actually harmful to cask beer.

And yes I know β€˜not all festivals’.

Atomfall is great. It’s essentially Fallout: Lake District. This is the answer to all the live sevice slop we’ve been seeing. This the kind of game Bethesda and Arkane should be making and have failed to give us for so long.

I mean do you believe everything in the submission? Taken to a ridiculous level can I just claim to have 200 pubs with staff on Β£20 an hour and all five star beers for Β£1 a pint. You gotta investigate the claims in the submission right?

You know, Hallertau is bloody lovely and should be used in hop heavy beers more.

Too often it’s consigned to a token amount in a lager and it never really shines.

Wes Streeting: there is overdiagnosis of mental health conditions Health secretary says too many people are being β€˜written off’ and that is driving ministers’ changes to welfare

Streeting is a spineless yes man with zero morals. Attacking vulnerable people and essentially saying they’re making it up.

Busting beer myths, talking about one of my favourite video games and making Pilsner. What’s not to love about my most recent Pellicle article?

Man arrested after climbing Palace of Westminster Police detain a man after he scales the Elizabeth Tower in Westminster on Saturday morning.

What an absolute legend. It is travesty that he is likely going to do years in prison for this act of non violent protest.

Dems still playing by the old conventions. They’re still not realising you can’t play nice anymore. Same reason
Biden didn’t pack the Supreme Court when he could have.

We’re releasing (well doing pre orders) for our first piece of print from @pelliclemag.com on Monday, very exciting times. I reckon we’ll get two or three volumes out this year if we sell enough of this one.
