For an interesting point of reference on government spending:
The James Webb Space Telescope was constantly under threat of cancellation and sweeping complaints for having the temerity to cost ~$10 billion between about 2003 and its launch in 2021.

@BowsacNoodle The fifth string (the short one) on a 5-string banjo is called the "drone string" because you generally never fret it. It is always just played as the note that it is and is usually plucked as part of a "roll" to keep it sounding nearly constantly.

@BowsacNoodle The 5-string, I am not sure. I know the original akontings and banjos were usually a three or four string instrument, sometimes with a drone string.

The modern 5 string banjo wasn't invented by any specific black or African that I've seen claimed. Only the general statement. And Joel Sweeney's five-string design is pretty well-documented and seems to have been novel compared to the slave instrument. And certainly the Scruggs and clawhammer picking styles are more strongly associated with Earl Scruggs and old-time Appalachian mountain pickers than any black group.

You can see videos of akonting players on YouTube pretty readily and the playing style and nature of instrument aren't really recognizable. That said, it's hard to track anything firm down owing to the lack of a form of writing or historical documentation. Especially given the absolutely black-obsessed nature of music history scholarship.

Having fucked around with CE for Fallout 4, the more I think about the logistics of the mods required, the more my hope that mods can save it wanes.

And like you said, just entirely fucks all the relationships and choices you made. For sake of what? A gimmick? It's a disappointment.

Moreover, the NG+ is awful. You only keep you levels and skill build? Why would I care when enemies are scaled anyway? I'm also still not sure what the outpost system is even for. Or the shops. Half feels like they made the game as just a basic template like they expected modders to do all the work to make the shit they pasted together make sense.

I always go with SimSettlements 2. Need to do another playthrough now that it's done. I also install a million tactical mods and guns and just run around doing OPERATOR OPERATOR shit when I do playthroughs. The dungeons and setting are so good for tactical gunplay.
