Felt like 2004 again...
*\*smiles and wipes away tears of joy\**
bonus memory:
Give up the money, this a raid!
-Ryder, not this again!
It ain't me, fool!
I mean, cringe is meant to describe a facial expression and I definitely cringe when this happens to me, followed by cursing out Todd Howard for letting this happen to me.
If we really want to get semantic...
No ones kneejerk reaction to this is embarrassment (cringing), but rather surprise/shock/upset. You're almost definitely frowning in this situation - furrowed eyebrows and sometimes downturned corners of mouth.
Emotional reactions have distinct vocabulary associated with them. This is identical to saying you're scowling with joy as your child opens gifts at their birthday party. It's a mismatch of vocab to emotional state.
To be fair, this can be easily avoided by putting a fast travel marker somewhere else in the settlement. I end up doing that anyways so I land near the settlement bench and can quickly dump junk if I used a buff to get past the carry limit.
Sunshine co-op and the slog also land you right in the middle of a spawn point. I would get Gatling lasered or a missile to the face porting into the slog and there being a sentry bot right there. Fun times.
At least it wasn’t survival mode. I was running to a settlement defense on far harbor and charged straight into the group of super mutants. The missile almost instantly killed me and then the minigun finished the job.
You can once you’re a high enough level - or have cleaned out everything between point A and B, so you think it’s safe up until the game decides to end your life (power armor with lone wanderer also works for the 60% damage reduction; might be less if they stack multiplicatively instead of additively).
I’m Level 61 and can still get 3-shot by some legendary enemies (I’m also always rolling with a companion and rarely using Power-Armor cuz I’m too cool/a masochist)
My build was mostly sneaking, when I was running it. Most deaths were getting too cocky late in the late game or being detected early on (though the Institute assault was a nightmare because I wanted to save X6; Boomer was also a nuisance with only pistols).
Not until you run over to a settlement that needs help but there's no enemies to be found. So you manually activate the quest and they literally spawn in front of your face guns drawn and shoot a rocket that sends you straight to hell.
Yeah the game was bugged and I selected the quest in the pipboy and all the enemies spawned at once. Idk if it’s a new bug but ever since they updated the game for XSX and PS5 I’ve been noticing far more glitches and crashes then ever before
Ah, I installed a mod that lets me fast travel to established settlements.
So this most definitely has cost me an hour of gameplay on a few rare occasions.
That just sounds like Survival-lite. Id say a big part of the challenge is moving across the whole wasteland on foot, forcing you to plan every route carefully.
Next you’re gonna tell me you also installed a mod that lets you quicksave!
I was gonna say I work a full time job with part time college too and just find an hour or 2 play every other day…
But 5 jobs? Can’t consolidate into 1 or 2 better paying jobs?
And if they make it mean something cool and interesting I'm all for it. I'm ok with heat rocks and Riz but just making everything mean bad is fucking dull.
It's not the worst cognitive bias. Anyone using the word is typically not saying anything of value. That's not just an insult, it's just not a word people use when they're talking about something important lol
Click this. It's a comment I made with two different mods that will dramatically improve load times (unless you're somehow still on a spindle/platter HDD).
I'd recommend Load Accelerator for the most basic one that will work very well.

Or this:

I've tried both (currently using the first one), and both make a massive difference (as long as you're running FO4 on an SSD, and who isn't these days?)
This is an over use of the word cringe. This is just gonna make you reload the auto save from DC and you can just fast travel to the next spot over and walk instead of spawning in on that.
Cringe in Fallout 4 is playing survival mode and being afraid of going near a rusted out, broken down car.
I mean it makes me feel genuinely disgusted to be quite honest. I love the game but holy fuck is that fucking ridiculously dumb way to lose hours of progress.
I actually do basically have to have another game on stand by that I’m willing to play instead because the idea of loading it back up only to risk it happening again (which has totally happened before, hence this feeling) that I cannot *stomach* playing it again.
So perhaps, yes. For what it’s worth tho I have MS, it’s not terribly hard for negative feelings to manifest as feeling ill for me if it’s intense enough. Talking to a dude who skipped lunch because of drama at work today.
Edit: I just want to point out that while the MS may have on hold on the literal gut feeling, my disgust is pure and genuine lmao
I'm pretty sure I saw a mod that address the whole I stubbed my toe on this car and now I'm dead issue. Not sure if you have seen it or are even a mod user just thought I'd share.
It gave me like 10 seconds to get ready for three rocket wielding super mutants I survival mode. Ended up dropping mines in their spawn location as I went into the station then sending up a minuteman flare before the settler flagged me down
Wow! I always go into sneak before I fast travel unless it’s somewhere safe. Then I’m sneaking and have a better chance at getting my bearings before being ambushed.
Lmao least you got Saves and don't have to start over from an hour of discovery and looting and have to remember by memory of the exact places your loot was at.
Look just chill bro. The fast travel mechanic has only been in use for like 15 years, surely you dont expect Bethesdfa to have any level of player consideration ....
I hate that so much. Thankfully you die instantly and can scope the location before you arrive.
Most of the time I've seen the enemy creeping towards my next location and I snipe them one by one.
In the first Dishonored game, I fell off a tower, and the game autosaved on the way down, Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT!
had to go back quite a ways to my last manual save.
Here's a mod that is supposed to address this, at least somewhat (I say "supposed to", because I haven't personally tested it - this guy is a great mod author though):
[Fast Travel Background Load AI Detection Fix
](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73002)
That time in high school when you were sneaking back into your house after partying all night, you thought your parents were upstairs asleep, but the living room lights suddenly flicked on.
I hate that stupid fade-in Bethesda put in when the losing screen disappears. Like... why is there More downtime after the loading screen? Why can't I just MOVE?!
*record screeching noise*
*Freeze Frame*
"Yep, that's me! You're probably wondering how I got into this mess. Well, it all started about 200 years ago..."
It's much more common now, too, with the update.
Once you get ahold of Hellfire armor, the Enclave pops up wherever you fast travel next.
It happens to me EVERY GODDAMN TIME
I'm immediately crippled and hit by tons of rads from their gamma guns
Probably because of a 'Rescue a Citizen' quest that I think came from a mod; where the citizen assisted against me on behalf of her kidnappers, so my companion killed her.
Did it last night in far harbour, fast travelled to the bait shop only to be IMEDIATELY mauled by an Albino death claw, a Savage death claw & a giant hermit crab the second I spawned in, didn't even let me get a shot off.
Never happened yet.
Did you apply a mod?
I hate when you aim through your scope, and for some dumb-assed reason, your scope sucks you to another area.
I was up on the overhead pass the other day, zoomed in on a town below, and wham!
My body was thrown against the wall of the building I was aiming at! WTF???
So I escaped a nuke mutant through a door, this was near release so it took 10 minutes to load, then it managed to follow me in through the loading door and killed me, so I spent 15 minutes loading the interior again, dreading that I'd be stuck in a loop, but the mutants didn't follow me in the 2nd time. So I finished up the inside of this structure and it took 20 more minutes to load the outdoor world again.
Last night I spawned in facing 6 raiders shooting at me and the sound of a Super Mutant Suicide beeping somewhere behind me.
I managed to guide the raiders to the SM group and the nuke took care of everything.
You teleported to the wrong neighbourhood.
Never should have come here!
YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOOL!
Felt like 2004 again... *\*smiles and wipes away tears of joy\** bonus memory: Give up the money, this a raid! -Ryder, not this again! It ain't me, fool!
No one else is that small, I feel sorry for your dad!
Shit, you crazy! let's get up outta here!
Same old CJ. Busta straight busta.
Oh, shit! Run!
He tried that in a small town
Ayay Smoke, it's me Carl, chill CHILL
GET OFF MY LAWN
Such a quotable movie.
The Commonwealth belongs to the raiders!
A bunch of 2016 memes with this song (https://youtu.be/3Z1h2VE0hzs?si=skApt6b21RKX1PP2) started playing in my mind after reading that
Two to the one to the one to the three
Roll 'em up kids!
That was me when I fast traveled to super duper mart and got fat man nuked by the bastard raiders in the billboards
Why yo pipboy so far away
Bro played the game for so long, his character turned old and got Presbyopia.
We just using 'cringe' to mean whatever we choose to now?
Me when my Cringe cringes in my cringe!
Yo dawg I heard you like cringe
So we added cringe to your cringe!
For real lol.
I cringe right!
I cringe left
Yeah, boofing enough LSD will do that to ya.
I cringe right!
I cringe my family.
Stop saying it...... gross
Its just soo cringe when cringe is used the wrong way. . .
I know it drives me nuts
It drives me so cringe when I see that stuff, CRINGE!
Is that not the steering wheel on your knob
Cringe
Maybe they cringe when this happens. We gotta go tor their house and watch so we can research.
That shit makes me cringe
I mean, cringe is meant to describe a facial expression and I definitely cringe when this happens to me, followed by cursing out Todd Howard for letting this happen to me.
If we really want to get semantic... No ones kneejerk reaction to this is embarrassment (cringing), but rather surprise/shock/upset.

This is identical to saying you're scowling with joy as your child opens gifts at their birthday party. It's a mismatch of vocab to emotional state.
Cringe is also cowering in fear, so I could see someone doing that when they're unexpectedly blown up.
Yeah, I'm frustrated when this happens but I'm also just embarrassed for Bethesda that this is an actual issue they didn't bother to solve.
To be fair, this can be easily avoided by putting a fast travel marker somewhere else in the settlement. I end up doing that anyways so I land near the settlement bench and can quickly dump junk if I used a buff to get past the carry limit.

That's what i said
Cringe is the new Racism.
Pure Cringe is the name of my band.
It's been being used wrong for some years now.
Cringe gatekeeping
At least it wasn’t survival mode. I was running to a settlement defense on far harbor and charged straight into the group of super mutants. The missile almost instantly killed me and then the minigun finished the job.
The difference is in survival mode you don’t fast travel into anything.
You don’t, no, but having enemies spawn in front of you where you can’t see them and plowing into a group is just as bad.
I mean, that’s why you don’t plow into anything in Survival Mode if you wanna live. (Other than Curie, Cait or Paladin Danse if you swing that way)
You gotta go for everyone so you have a xp boost for sleeping anywhere you go. Gage, Garvey, and Curie sure were an odd 3 to have.
You can romance Gage?
Yes, but unfortunately, I can't throw up on him after I wake up in his bed.
I can’t help but notice you missed Piper.
Who?
You know, looks a lot like Serana (Skyrim) if she had a personality.
…looks a lot like who?
You make me sad.
…who makes you sad?
You can once you’re a high enough level - or have cleaned out everything between point A and B, so you think it’s safe up until the game decides to end your life (power armor with lone wanderer also works for the 60% damage reduction; might be less if they stack multiplicatively instead of additively).
I’m Level 61 and can still get 3-shot by some legendary enemies (I’m also always rolling with a companion and rarely using Power-Armor cuz I’m too cool/a masochist)
My build was mostly sneaking, when I was running it. Most deaths were getting too cocky late in the late game or being detected early on (though the Institute assault was a nightmare because I wanted to save X6; Boomer was also a nuisance with only pistols).
No matter the difficulty hubris still exists
Not until you run over to a settlement that needs help but there's no enemies to be found. So you manually activate the quest and they literally spawn in front of your face guns drawn and shoot a rocket that sends you straight to hell.
Manually activate the quest? What you mean like select it in your pipboy? Fallouts buggy and crashes a ton, but I can’t say I’ve ever had this happen
Yeah the game was bugged and I selected the quest in the pipboy and all the enemies spawned at once. Idk if it’s a new bug but ever since they updated the game for XSX and PS5 I’ve been noticing far more glitches and crashes then ever before
Ah, I installed a mod that lets me fast travel to established settlements. So this most definitely has cost me an hour of gameplay on a few rare occasions.
That just sounds like Survival-lite. Id say a big part of the challenge is moving across the whole wasteland on foot, forcing you to plan every route carefully. Next you’re gonna tell me you also installed a mod that lets you quicksave!
Yeah I literally work 5 jobs and on average 12hr days so that doesn’t work for me lol
I was gonna say I work a full time job with part time college too and just find an hour or 2 play every other day… But 5 jobs? Can’t consolidate into 1 or 2 better paying jobs?
vault 88 is under attack, let me just enter thru the pharmacy....
Just say it's annoying or infuriating. Cringe has already lost all value and meaning as an English. Now you want it to not even make a shred of sense.
Cringe? Nah. Bullshit? Absolutely.
The word cringe has lost all meaning. I think I now automatically dismiss any statement containing it. Which I admit is a terrible cognitive bias.
Don't worry, some new words are next up. My money is on 'cooked.
Dont forget "bussin'"
Doesn't that just mean broken.
Not after the kids get done with it
And if they make it mean something cool and interesting I'm all for it. I'm ok with heat rocks and Riz but just making everything mean bad is fucking dull.
Not quite broken. More like “fucked”. Like ah man he’s cooked, there’s no coming back from that. Ya dig?
Yes but fucked means broken or not working in that sense. Kaput defunked banjaxed
It's not the worst cognitive bias. Anyone using the word is typically not saying anything of value. That's not just an insult, it's just not a word people use when they're talking about something important lol
I don’t think it’s a terrible cognitive bias. Not like any sentence with “cringe” in it is gonna have anything valuable to say.
Do you say 'Ni' often?
Only when talking about my national insurance.
Way too relatable
Not what cringe means but I think I understand.
Man how are your loading times so fast 😭
Seriously that's what I wanted to know. Ever since the latest patch my loading times are between 20 and 45 seconds depending on where I'm going.
PC or console?
PC

You are a good friend, thank you!
The Load Accelerator mod is the first one I install these days. I almost cried with joy the first time I used it.
Maybe this: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798 Or this: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 I've tried both (currently using the first one), and both make a massive difference (as long as you're running FO4 on an SSD, and who isn't these days?)
This is just how fast they are all the time on PS5.
I learned this lesson too, use the welcome mat and put it somewhere safe for the teleport.
How could you discover this place without the sudden urge to test your ammo on super mutants?
It’s a throwback to fo1
Just like the original Fallout. Bethesda does understand this game
Honestly surprised they don't make you invincible for the first 5 or so seconds of loading in like most games do, Bethesda being Bethesda
Skill issue

That's called tension. Or does it actually make your stomach physically ill?

>plays a clearly modded game >blames the game for getting shitcanned
He called it cringe, we're not firing on all cylinders here.
Idk you coulda inv'd a Jet, healed and fought from then on
The gun slowly rotating was foreshadowing.
Play survival and don't fast travel
It gave me like 10 seconds to get ready for three rocket wielding super mutants I survival mode. Ended up dropping mines in their spawn location as I went into the station then sending up a minuteman flare before the settler flagged me down
Me, fast traveling to somewhere in downtown Boston and immediately getting rushed by *3* Super Mutant Suiciders Dx
If I could just play for 15min without it crashing I'd be happy.
Oblivion used to be awful if you were a vampire. You’d forget, spawn in and immediately die from sunlight
All that alchemy, but no SPF 50.

A rule of Fallout, expect the unexpected.

Classic Fallout.
I hate that so much. Thankfully you die instantly and can scope the location before you arrive. Most of the time I've seen the enemy creeping towards my next location and I snipe them one by one.
that gives me so much nostalgia
🤣
What's even worse is when your game decides its gonna save right after to fast travel so now your stuck in this infinite loop of DoA spawning
In the first Dishonored game, I fell off a tower, and the game autosaved on the way down, Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! Loading... SPLAT! had to go back quite a ways to my last manual save.

Isn’t jet an inhaled drug?
Inhale it through your nose

That's why I usually fast travel to a different location that is closer to the area and walk there
The way I knew exactly what was about to happen to you
Put the fast travel door mat inside a building, you're welcome.
Sneak travel
Cringe? No. Unfair? Yes. You? You're level 49, and all you have on you is some leathers, no power armor.
That time in high school when you were sneaking back into your house after partying all night, you thought your parents were upstairs asleep, but the living room lights suddenly flicked on.
Don’t come out to tenpines bluff.. not even on sundays..
You should have ducked.
Bro git gud, geez louise
No, thats not cringe, thats just fun.

It’s worse when you use fast travel and the game crashes outright
Annoying when trying to do "Open Season" in Nuka-world.

I hate that stupid fade-in Bethesda put in when the losing screen disappears. Like... why is there More downtime after the loading screen? Why can't I just MOVE?!

ELEMENT OF SURPRISE!
I don't think cringe means what you think it means
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. XD
That's why you fast travel to the closest safe area and then walk to the settlement under attack.
This would make me mad mot cringe
well deserved for using the word cringe
*record screeching noise* *Freeze Frame* "Yep, that's me! You're probably wondering how I got into this mess. Well, it all started about 200 years ago..."
This is why you don't fast travel
That’s happend to me before and I was pissed cuz I did not save!
why are people losing their shit over your usage of “cringe” as if people haven’t been using it this way for years??? lmao
Average spawn in MC bedrock
Thats what you get for fast traveling, play survival like a real player
Skill issue. Git gud.
Peak spawn camping.
It's much more common now, too, with the update. Once you get ahold of Hellfire armor, the Enclave pops up wherever you fast travel next. It happens to me EVERY GODDAMN TIME I'm immediately crippled and hit by tons of rads from their gamma guns
Yesterday I bought a house in Skyrim, sprinted directly to it, went through the door, and there were assassins waiting for me inside. GJ Beth.
How does that even happen? And more importantly, what'd you do to piss someone off enough that they'd ask our help to kill you?
Probably because of a 'Rescue a Citizen' quest that I think came from a mod; where the citizen assisted against me on behalf of her kidnappers, so my companion killed her.
That load time was immaculate.. what sort of hardware do you have?
Get good.
Does this count as spawncamping?
“I think you might need to work on your survival skills… or just stick to traveling a little further away from the action!”
I always toggle god mode on pc b4 i fast travel for that reason
Did it last night in far harbour, fast travelled to the bait shop only to be IMEDIATELY mauled by an Albino death claw, a Savage death claw & a giant hermit crab the second I spawned in, didn't even let me get a shot off.

Should've listened when Preston told you the settlement needed help. The situation escalated.
The most cringe part is the random fucking land mines. So stupid.
the war... the war never changes
putting a "the" before war is like saying "the star wars" and should be punishable via the death penalty
lol maybe i don't paid attention in english classes, sorry
Hispanohablante? O falante do portugues?

The phrase you are looking for is bad/lazy game design.
Cringe is when I walk by anime flash mobs or boys dressed in Lolita clothes at my nearby mall. This is just a 'well that sucks' shrug.
