Minutemen: you try to do the most good that you can.

Institute: your a kidnapper.(change my mind)

Railroad: you like synths.

Bos: you hate synths or your a tech goblin

Don't take offense please and I might not answer for awhile.

Well I was playing old world blues hoi4 and I ended up finishing the NCR and Legion path. Are there any other interesting countries to play?

Part Seven was a joke when it came to its length. That being said, hopefully I can make up for you all. I will be quite busy tomorrow and I am not sure if I will have time to write, so I'm doing it a day early. My regards to the family and friends of our passed administrator.

Edit to moderator: Thanks for switching the genre, I forgot about that.

JANUARY 15, 2288

I woke up, thinking it must be New Years Day or something, and told the others a Happy New Years, but they were confused. Turns out it was the 15th. The last time I was writing, it turned out to be the 2nd of January. Not sure how or when I entered a coma, but it's been two weeks.

Preston was talking to me a bit in private. He was proud of my help to rebuild the Minutemen. But he says I need a real break. Maybe I should stop with all the fighting and consider doing something else. He's right, but what can we do? We are in one of the year's most gruesome times yet and there's no point in me slacking off.

Anyway, I've enjoyed relaxing on the couch with Dogmeat(I keep forgetting to mention him in my diary, great kiddo) while listening to the radio. The record-breaking blizzards finally passed and the temperatures improved. Diamond City Radio is as clear as the sky.

Some news came out from the west. The region called Cranberry Valley which consists of everything between Springfield and Worcester was spared much better thanks to the mountains. It was named Cranberry Valley for the countless cranberry fields that dotted the muddy landscapes, a timeless prized fruit of New England and Massachusetts.

I'm getting off track with the news part... looks like the Gunner encampments on the overpass were abandoned and it allowed for caravans to start coming back on the MA-2. Food prices are lowering. The group thinks we should start inviting more families to Sanctuary now that food isn't that big of an issue. Maybe we should.

I also asked Preston why I heard arguing with Sturges a while ago. Turns out back when I was missing for a few days after Christmas, Sturges got concerned that the raiders would discover information on my body and use it to get back to Sanctuary, so he rigged a makeshift explosive to the bridge as a last resort. Even after we cleared it out with just guns, something must have malfunctioned. Looking at the creek, it was like the bridge never existed.

Unfortunately it isn't an ideal time to rebuild the entire bridge, so we just have a few makeshift crossings supported by rocks, wood, and other objects.

I also noticed that Abernathy and Oberland are gone, unlike the time two weeks ago when they were here for the care of their wounded ones.

It feels quiet... too quiet. Aside from two other farms, we are the only people in the Concord-Lexington region.

JANUARY 16, 2288

Good morning, Boston. Travis caught another flu again, but the rest of Diamond City also has it, so it's not much of a big suprise. I am however, in a good shape to broadcast in his spot, so here I am.

It is 9:30 AM, New England Time.

The Cambridge Police Station has gone quiet after a siege which lasted over a month. The distress signal is still operating. Diamond City is contributing resources, combined with Bunker Hill, to secure bridges and ensure ferals cannot access them. The raider gang previously controlling the U.S.S Riptide was destroyed for the means of authority on the Charles River. Goodneighbor has not yet made contact with Diamond City.

Contact with the rest of Massachusetts is back after the MA-2 was freed up, allowing caravans from Cranberry Valley and Nuka-City(aka New-ka-Springfield) to visit the Commonwealth. The raised overpass makes it favorable to avoid the ferals in Lexington and Cambridge. Sales continue to rise in Bunker Hill, which has helped to fund the blockade.

And now, a shoutout to a scavenger that managed to recover some old records. I am sure you will all like a change to the songs that we play on here.

Fired up the recruitment radio beacon today. The group has worked on restoring some of the homes. There are about fourteen properties, five of which are stripped down to the foundation because of ruined houses, and four currently in use for either residential or storage purposes. That leaves us with five homes. We have worked on some repairs, mainly with the roof, foundation, and redoing all the walling and flooring. A lot of us have gained strength and the adequate meals have helped.

JANUARY 17, 2288

Two new families arrived, the population is up to 15. We are still working out the final renovations and asked if the new guys can help us.

Snow is melting a bit, especially with the bags of salt we have stored, but the frost is still thick outside.

JANUARY 18, 2288

Oberland almost got raided, thankfully I'm glad I told them to hide the packaged foods when not using it.

It has been pretty chill and it looks like things are getting better, and now we can finally move out of the storm. Unfortunately, with how quiet the Northwest is and more farms out east, some are saying the Minutemen is returning. If we want to restore trust in a matter of time to save our legacy, Preston suggests we retake "The Castle", the old Minutemen HQ.

Turns out the old tourist attraction "Fort Independence" got a new name a while ago and served as the former Minutemen HQ, but almost fifty years ago a mirelurk queen tore it up pretty bad. If we want to reorganize operations in the Commonwealth, well, it was the spot to do it.

We pretty much control the NH&M railway from Carlisle to Ashton and we could easily use the local area to get to South Boston and back.

We made sure to stockpile and purchase quite a lot of shotgun shells and a crap ton of explosives(especially mines) and I told Preston I would meet him at the Castle with the other Minutemen recruits.

JANUARY 19, 2288

The railway track was pretty friendly until we got past Oberland but still it was actually relatively peaceful. Just some wild animals. Taking the trainyards at Boston was easier than I thought, but it leads to Mass Pike Underground, which has a lot of feral ghouls, so I decided to blockade the rationing site entrance.

I took a rest for the night since the walk alone must have been seven hours, I'm not too sure.

JANUARY 20, 2288

I used an isolated relay tower to avoid walking straight into Greenskin territory. It's harder then it seems but at least I'm not chased by hulks, one probably strapped with a bomb on his hand.

Jamaica Plain is also feral-infested but not as bad as some of the other towns i've seen.

University Point is home to a fight between synths and a deathclaw, so far? Victory for the deathclaw. Thank god it's distracted so I can walk along the coastline. Managed to avoid any fights with the high school gangsters.

Met up with Preston and the gang. The rest took different routes and are fine for the most part. God, it sends chills down my spine seeing the old candy shop again. Haven't been there since I was eight after we left the tour of the fort.

We ultimately decided to just make a direct offensive, start with the courtyard, and clear out the castle walls and catwalks. The shotguns do a damn fine job at clearing out the nests, and enough firepower from each shot(or two) can fear a mirelurk's face apart and drive it insane.

Courtyard was cleared in a few minutes, but by then we alerted the rest of the mirelurks around the Castle. We were doing really well and clearing out the last nests when we heard a deep roar from Pleasure Bay.

The mirelurk queen was back and was approaching its way across the destroyed sections of the castle walls. One person died from her attacks and I got a nasty acid burn.

Took way too many explosives until the bastard finally trembled to the floor on her last legs. I got medical support while the rest of the nests were cleared out.

JANUARY 21, 2288

The acid burn did one on me but it's healing pretty well. The dead Minuteman is being transported back to Sanctuary via handcar.

We're cleaning up the Castle right now. Just scrubbing the walls, ripping off the seaweed, shovelling the sediment and **** away, and trying to make use of all the mirelurk meat. We repaired one of the generators so we can keep the fridges stocked. Even with a chainsaw though, the shell of a mirelurk queen is a pain like hell to cut through.

JANUARY 28, 2288

A week has passed since we retook the Castle. Cleanup with the mirelurks and sea **** has finished up, and now we turn attention to restoring and glorifying the castle. Since we want it to last, I've decided to give it a new name: The Pentagon.

Even if what Sturges said about DC is true, the Pentagon is probably a silent crater as I write this. Don't see no reason why not place it at Boston, the fort is shaped like it anyway.

Hired some unlucky people in the South Boston area to clean up and sort through the rubble, and the promise of clean water and good food got them running quickly. Not exactly ethnic, but hey, at least I'm even bothering such good rations.

Of course, this was a few days ago, and they've done a damn fine job at cleaning up the place, so I might have to up the calorie intake and stockpile more filters.

I decided to create a little minefield up around Jamaica Plain, went to one of the end roads, and made as much noise as possible. Wiped out most of the feral ghouls in the area. This town is ours, now.

Now that Jamaica Plain is safe to walk through(hopefully), I began to work on restoring some radio links to establish Pentagon Castle to Sanctuary.

FEBRUARY 1, 2288

The cleanup workers at Pentagon Castle have done an incredible job on the ground level. We are moving towards the basement now, but we still can't access the armory. Speaking of which, an old Minutemen veteran talked to me about the locked armory and helped me to get to the access. Had to take out one of our best robots, but we need the supplies in the armory. Found one of our old generals dead, so we brought him upstairs and prepared for a burial.

The button mechanic to open the doors works just fine and the armory is now accessible. We used this advantage and gathered all the ammunition, weapons, and even saved our precious artillery blueprint. We cleaned up the trash piles for each corner tower of the castle, so we should consider rebuilding the models soon.

I need to stop writing, I need to help with something.

My halo playthrough of fallout 4 isn't doing so good

Does anyone know any good mods that help with stability on xbox one?

I had seen a guy saying that the Brotherhood of Steel is Bethesda's favorite, so I came to ask, is the Brotherhood really Bethesda's favorite faction?

Why is there a black band over the Nuka-Cola cap in the upper left of the screen? Did someone pass away? o.0

So, I play on xbox. and i recently reported it crashing often, and i was told i was going to get put to a higher power, however its been 2 weeks and there has been no responce. what should i do?

step 1. go into the silver rush in freeside

step 1.5 (optional) have good barter

step 2. go straight, there will be a door, go into the hallway and on the door to the right will be a restroom

step 3. use the Z key (or right thumbstick if controller) to grab the laser guns / plasma guns, basically everything

step 4. put them into the restroom (it will take a long time putting everything there)

step 5. close the door, crouch to see if you're detected

step 6. if [HIDDEN], take everything

step 7. go to the gun runners (or any vendor that has a lot of caps, preferably 3k caps - 4k caps)

step 8. sell them

step 9. bathe in caps

note: prolly be careful with the mines, they might explode if you step on them, idk tho, never tested it out

or the alternate route

step 1. have 10 luck

step 2. GAMBLE 🤑🤑🤑

Woo... Fallout London came out. Took me the whole day yesterday because I got overconfident, but not to worry. It's been three days, so I guess that's reasonable at this point. Here's something new for Friday. I'll be quite busy.

This one's a bit short. Expect it to be longer soon.

DECEMBER 25, 2287

Lexington fell silent and black smoke rises from the car factory today. Radio signal is worsening. Glad we got the power tools working in time, otherwise I didn't think we could budge at the trees and the lake anymore for at least a few more months.

Christmas after the apocalypse. Had a little feast last night. Best gift was some limited-edition gum drops. Gives me vibes from 111. Oh, how I hate that freezer.

DECEMBER 27, 2287

Our radio contact has been lost with Thicket Excavations. Not that I cared much, although I might investigate.

DECEMBER 28, 2287

The blizzard is cutting down, so I took this opportunity to leave Sanctuary to investigate the area. Thicket Excavations is in chaos.

The raiders weren't prepared for the blizzards and the water in the mirelurk farms froze. Some mirelurks somehow managed to use it to jump the fences, some are stuck, and some succumbed to frostbite most likely. I wish I didn't look, it's a bloodbath. I saw cannibals and madmen. When they saw me, I fled the area, but I think they're after me.

DECEMBER 29, 2287

I slept in a small dugout with some makeshift barriers. It kept the wind away so I wouldn't freeze to death. I had some breakfast(I wouldn't call it breakfast) and left early, glad to do so because five minutes after I began walking I heard yells behind me.

I'm not sure where I am at the moment. I can tell I'm on a road but god knows which road exactly.

I found an overpass. Either 95 or MA-2. Hell, it could be 93 for all I know. Better not be heading towards the damn Lexington suburbs.

DECEMBER... I'M NOT SURE

I don't have much time to write.

One of the madmen was one hell of an idiot and now Mystic Pines is a feral hotspot because of them. I've tried to flee northwest, but I can't catch a break and neither do they somehow.

???

I made it back to Concord somehow but not for long. I hear screams in the distance near Hanscom ruins. I made it back to Sanctuary, but the raiders followed suit and now they have us at hostage point on the bridge. I thought we were dead until the raiders turned around to notice three other groups of people, all with hunting rifles, pointed at the raider group. One of the raiders went crazy, yelped and jumped the railing.

Suddenly I noticed one of them using some sort of drug and I fire the first shot, taking out his neck. The rest go crazy and start throwing themselves in to attack, but the guns must have outnumbered them 3 to 1.

A few of us got injured, so we're currently having them recover at Sanctuary where we have more access to medicines.

I need to stop writing, I feel like my head is on fire.

DAY 2

I got my journal back after the doctor said I was able to calm down. Turns out I could've had a mental breakdown if I hadn't relaxed sooner or even something physical. Not sure what. I was told it was day two, whatever that means.

I can hear Preston in another room arguing with Sturges over something.

I can feel myself breaking down, hearing that one song on the radio, of how such a calm woman can talk about all of it. But I can't cry. Why?
