  • Never heard of it, but it sounds fun.
    I like mead because you can turn pretty much any drink into alcohol with it and the only specialized ingredient you need is yeast and sometimes nutrients. Everything else can be found at the grocery store. Turned some sodas (mountain dew being a classic, but also root beer), and fruit juices into mead, with mostly good results. Whereas ciders and wine requires the right kind of fruits, and I’m sure I’ll never do better than what is already on the market. The future is in weird drinks.
    But lemonade wine seems nice, maybe I’ll try it next.


  • Bought some gatorade powder you can see in the photo. The recommended serving is 4 tablespoons for 750 mL of gatorade. I used around half of that, which is 10 spoons for 4 L (orange) and 10 spoons for 3 L (blue). ChatGPT recommended a quarter, but I was afraid it wouldn’t taste anything. I’m also pretty confident he never tried it anyway, so who cares about the computer’s opinion. Then it’s a standard 1 kg of honey each and EC-1118 yeast with some nutrient for the road (I realize now that I might have put way too much of it, but I think they’ll manage).
    Both were extremely sweet before the fermentation. I have doubts about the blue one, but high hopes for the orange one (this is no political statement btw). I actually have no idea how it will come out, but right now they’re both bubbling nicely.










  • That’s simply not true. Look at Caesar’s ending outro.

    The Legion occupied all major locations, enslaving much of the population and peacefully lording over the rest. Under the Legion’s banner, civilization - unforgiving as it was - finally came to the Mojave wasteland.
    After the Legion’s victory, Caesar, out of a strange respect for his old fellows, allowed the Followers safe passage out of the wasteland. Reluctantly, the Followers accepted the offer and abandoned Old Mormon Fort to the Legion.
    The Legion, preoccupied with its acquisition of New Vegas, scarcely took notice of the town of Goodsprings. Many locals moved on, fearful of Caesar’s long shadow. Only the old and the stubborn remained.
    As reward for they loyal service, Caesar forcibly integrated the Great Khans into the Legion.
    After Hoover Dam, the leaderless Powder Gangers at the Correctional Facility vanished into the wastes, leaving the prison empty.
    Though Caesar keeps Primm open for business, its citizens live under the constant watch of Legion soldiers.

    …and that is with an evil karma. With good karma and depending on the player’s choices, some factions have an “easier” ending (fleeing west instead of fighting and losing to the Legion).
    It shows that those who surrender to Caesar can continue their lives with more stability and without the usual constant danger of the wasteland.
    Roads are safer and some people still keep their autonomy.
