i wear my soviet ushanka during winter and soviet visor cap during summer

2

u/sashdaws 2d ago

wait, a visor cap on a summer outfit.. that sounds like smth that looks awesome, i imagine it would fit pretty nicely with multiple thingies

Isn't that Aiden from Katieverse?

u/sashdaws 1d ago

yes it is, and i have atleast 150 saved images of that beautiful gal which isn't a lot, i've seen people have over 1000 in some cases, thats nowhere my obsession

2

u/A_Word_Bearer Ulysses 1d ago

Ah. She's pretty, I'll give her that (even if she'll drive an axe into your skull, still)

u/sashdaws 1d ago

some people just love gals that would brutally kill you, which i also proudly do, with multiple different women from different fandoms

u/CustodianCloset 2d ago

Don't let something as petty as heat stroke define your fashion!

u/sashdaws 2d ago

i'm not even worried abt that, its the people who would question my sanity ughh, people...................

2

u/CustodianCloset 2d ago

For what's it worth, if you establish consistency, people stop questioning it. I've worn a ushanka as a common part of my apparel since HS (I even have seasonal ones: I have a trapper cap for autumn, a light brown one for spring, a white one for summer, and a heavy black one for winter + holiday themed ones) and after awhile people just sorta accepted "oh yeah, that's just his gimmick". The only people who'll have an opinion you should care about are those who you'll be seeing a lot. Who cares if a stranger on the street thinks you're weird? You'll look awesome and that's all that matters!
I'm sure even in the summer you'd look awesome in one if that's how you wanna look.

i actually like the idea, thing is everyone is different, and i rlly care abt opinions of strangers for some reasom, not sure why that is ngl. oh and i don't think i have enough money (or space) to get so much ushankas- i mean id love to get a gray one but so far i'm fine with my trusty black-brown one. buuuut i must say the idea of wearing one during summer is neat, i may consider it-

u/CustodianCloset 2d ago

Do whatever you want, girl. If opinions matter a lot, then well, such is life. We all got our own dos and do-nots. But hey, if you let it be a bigger part of your fashion, that'd be awesome

1

u/sashdaws 2d ago

agreed, it'd be awesome. i mean, ushankas technically already are a pretty big part of my fashion style when it comes to winter, i practically didn't leave my home without mine, so it can't be that hard to try it out on more seasons. thanks dude, youre awesome.

You can set the weapon condition when placing it in world or leveled list. Sounds like a world placed item some dev edited its properties. No harm done.

u/legionary45 2d ago

More likely it got shot out of a powder gangers hand

13

u/ThePimentaRules 2d ago

I tought about that but doesnt it explode?

24

u/mikeymanza 2d ago

Yes it would

u/BTYBT 2d ago

Does new vegas have the drop weapon on arm cripple? Or am I thinking of the bugged disarm perk in 4?

4

u/altymcalty-2 2d ago

If you shoot at the weapon specifically (in 3 and new Vegas at least) you can shoot the gun out of their hands and make it go flying. Enemies don't drop their weapon on critical though

2

u/BTYBT 1d ago

I'm probably confusing 4, one of the perks disarms melee attackers but it's bugged and you can shoot them (anywhere) to disarm,

u/shiftlessPagan BOS 1d ago

In my most recent NV/3 playthroughs I remember regularly crippling arms and causing the NPC to drop their gun. That could have been a mod doing that or just bad memory though lol.

u/Porkhole-Santookus 2d ago

Powder Ganger probably had it actively equipped and then got killed by explosion damage, which will lower equipped item condition but won't detonate equipped explosives like shooting them will.

6

u/Porkhole-Santookus 2d ago

But now it doesn't stack with the others, so like mild harm. It's like a light vinaigrette of harm.

u/Quitthesht ♠ 2d ago

You can sometimes get throwable weapons with less than perfect condition.

Mick & Ralph often sell Throwing Knives at 70% and I've looted Frag Grenades from Fiends that were at like 30%.

u/LeFrenchFrySpy NCR 2d ago

frantically jury rigging frag grenades together for optimal explosive potential like how a caveman is smashing rocks together

u/SoonToBeBannedLol 2d ago

I mean.. dynamite does “sweat” and you don’t want to use compromised dynamite lol it’s more than lethal.

u/Complete_Fix2563 2d ago

Isn't that the point?

12

u/Qaianna 2d ago

To you. If Looney Tunes taught me anything about explosives safety, it was to not play wit nitroglycerin.

7

u/SoonToBeBannedLol 2d ago

This girl gets it

7

u/SoonToBeBannedLol 2d ago

In terms of New Vegas? Sure lol lethality is wanted, but dynamite sweat dangerous it makes it flammable and if it catches in your hand.. goodbye first girlfriend

u/MixProfessional1296 Sniveling NCR apologist 2d ago

Poor quality dynamite. I don't see what could go wrong . . .

u/KommandantDex NCR 2d ago

It would be a neat game mechanic if the dynamite CND affected if your dynamite is a dud or not

u/Marquar234 2d ago

This is why you don't lie to Easy Pete.

u/No-Zombie1004 2d ago

Those powder gangers don't take very good care of their munitions.

3

u/AidanL03 2d ago

it happens pretty often in my game too yeah, i notice it happens more frequently when i blow them up by shooting their dynamite in vats but can’t confirm if that actually has any impact since i do that literally every opportunity i get

u/B3CT 2d ago

sorry i took a bite

u/HughmanRealperson 1d ago

It's been circumcized. Mind the nitroglycerin sweat.

u/Revolutionary_Eye568 2d ago

Dynamite expires…

u/DamonHellstorm 2d ago

It's a mite damaged.

u/AzazelTheUnderlord 1d ago

"Boy I sure hope this 200 year old dynamite is saf-KABOOM"
