I dont know how it took me till you posted that most recent sole survivor art to learn you were a fallout enjoyed, it fills me with joy. Fave companion/storyline?

Of the main companions, I think my favorites are Dogmeat, Nick, and Piper, but I've probably brought Ada along more than anyone.

I really love the character of this robot, built by a band of survivors from spare parts, developing attachments and feelings. I appreciate her trying to square the conflicting input of grief and justice at the point where neither really fixes anything unless the root of that injury is repaired. Ada's friends died because the robots programming was flawed and lacked the ability to see struggling humans as viable, not because Isabel wanted them to kill. At that point, killing her would be cathartic but it punishes her for a mistake she rekt didn't intend and lowers us to the level of the other wasteland factions who perpetuate the broken exterminationist view of conflict. It lets Ada continue to grow as a living being in spite of her loss and status as a robot. It's something I love about Ada in my interpretation that I felt was lacking in my impression of Curie.

The game wants to give us a romanceable female synth who is even less experienced than we are, so porting a robot's memory into a "human" works but that's a bit cheap for my taste. I don't dislike Curie but I would've enjoyed the option to help her realize a human body wasn't strictly necessary to help people. Developing the "humanity" in a machine feels more in line with rebuilding a better world than finding ways to eliminate the anthropocentric limitations of machines in a world where they can be fully sentient.

And yes, I think you should still be able to romance Robot Curie. It seems to work for Mr. Zwicky and Miss Edna! I think that's sweet and let's be play this as a world where people realize joy is precious wherever you find it instead of queueing up Curie's emergent personality. We see plenty of other robots with fully functional autonomous identities. The ability to accept them for who they are and can become in spite of their origins is a wonderful aspect of the world for me.

In general, I like keeping folks around and trying to give them another chance to make a go of it in the Commonwealth without the Institute or the Brotherhood trying to pull the strings from above or below. I try not to kill anyone I know I don't have to unless they're going to keep trying to kill me.

I've destroyed the Prydwen and the Institute every time, but I wish there could've been opportunities to bring a few BOS characters over to my side in the process, Proctor Ingram, in particular. I also like that there are hard choices to make though, that characters you would want to join you can just have incompatible ideology and loyalty.

For the game's sake I back the minutemen and the Railroad, but ideologically, the Atom Cats are my "faction" of choice. They're good people, hacking out a place for themselves, putting their skills to less genocidal use, and trying to bring a bit of light and beauty to their little peninsula. They watch out for their friends and neighbors. They ain't so keen on exterminating anything in particular. They aren't looking to rule over anything in spite of their impressive power armor skills. My favorite outfit these days is the armored AC jacket and modded Mechanist helmet.

Far Harbor has some great missions too. The hotel murder mystery is a hoot and the settlement locations offer a lot to play with. I try to strike a live-and-let-live balance there too, preserving the synth refuge, Far Harbor, and the CoA if I can help it. I never rat them out to the BoS. The memory-retrieval mini game missions are miserable though! It glitched out on my first playthrough and I couldn't finish it before my PS4 died.

Favorite settlements are probably vault 88, the Starlite drive-in (makes a fanatic multistory apartment base), Spectacle Island, Abernathy farm, Egret Tours Marina, the lumber mill, Outpost Zimonja, Greygarden, and the lighthouse. I'm a fan of modding-off the build limits and resource cheats so I can build elaborate apartment blocks out of scaffolding, warehouse bits and vault pieces. I can't get enough of encasing ruined buildings in larger buildings like warehouses or vault atrium assets too. After a while, the settlement building becomes my favorite aspect of the game after the story and world-building.

happy friyay folks! just one more day until member reserves begin, and we can't wait to see more of what y'all have planned soon! incase you aren't already, feel free to jump in our discord to say an early hello! today we're diving into sable grove, ga - the sleepier of the two locations that make up bennington bay. while technically slightly smaller in population, it's expansive and focuses on a neighborly friendliness that it feels it's high-rise counterpart lacks. view more about its history and six neighborhoods below!

✨ explore sable grove, ga ✨

sable grove as a residential town sprung up across the bay from remington during the 1830s/1840s. the area attracted those looking to get rich quick and eventually grew from a sleepy gold claim to the attractive town it is today. nowadays, if you visit the town, you’ll find period architecture in the trendy historical downtown area, which is host to thriving commerce and beautiful green spaces, and places such as the charming independent art house cameo cinema on main street. or maybe a stroll down the st. veil pier at dusk or dining at one of the restaurants in the harbor is more your speed. the town is the proud home of the sable grove wolverines, two-time state football champions, and national runner-ups, and the small-town suburban feel often attracts families looking for somewhere quieter than the city to settle down. to the south is beargrass national park, thorpe lighthouse, and beautiful beaches with pristine sand and opportunities to see local flora and fauna.

harborview

population - 8816 | price point - $$ to $$$$

harborview is an eclectic collection of charming bars, taverns, and restaurants all spread throughout the harbor. stop in at the bayfront tavern for a beer or to peruse their cocktail menu, or head to the boatyard, where you can find delicious caught-fresh today seafood dishes. the pride and joy of harborview is st. veil pier, home to pop-up street food nights if you’re looking for a bite to eat illuminated by multicolored string lights. you’ll also find the harbor marina here, with moorings for yachts and small boats. the housing in this area, though limited, is mostly midrange apartments above the various businesses along the seafront as well as some properties on the waterfront, as well as some higher-end waterfront properties.

hazelhurst

population - 18101 | price point - $$$ to $$$$

hazelhurst is the educational hub in sable grove. home to the jump cannon planetarium and observatory, which is just a short bus ride for kids to visit from the nearby elementary, middle, and high schools. the area here is full of green spaces and sports fields, and the local high school football and soccer teams have an enviable track record (go wolverines!) and huge crowds flock to watch them play. halley’s park is a popular haunt for dog walkers, picnickers, and hosts the annual county fair when it comes to town. the housing here is predominantly family homes, hitting the upper mid-range, with parents often moving here to ensure their child is in the catchment area and within easy distance to the schools.

maconville

population - 15649 | price point - $$$$ to $$$$$

maconville is most well-known for its gated community. beachfront property in a beautiful location as far removed from the lanes as you can get in the town. here you’ll find boutique shops and carefully planned streets and buildings. maconville is also home to the bennington golf & country club, where you can play a round of golf against the backdrop of the bay and then have mimosas at the bar. there’s also the maconville outdoor pool which is popular with families and kids, especially in the hot summer months. housing here is upmarket and expensive, and the area also has a thriving boutique hotel and holiday lets for you to enjoy the beautiful location.

midway

population - 25744 | price point - $$$ to $$$$$

midway is the historical downtown district. with its neat, wide brick streets and period charm, midway is popular with locals and tourists alike. home to cameo cinema, a plethora of independent stores, and a few chain stores as well. the town hall as well as sable grove sheriff’s department can be found in this neighborhood. the area often attracts those looking to find something to do in the town: striker’s alley, a multi-entertainment facility offering bowling and arcade games, is a popular stop, or there’s the meticulous sunnyvale park which is perfect for dog walking or a picnic in the summer. the housing is mostly apartment-based and mid-range in price.

the lanes

population - 12517 | price point - $ to $$

the lanes is one neighborhood in sable grove that you won’t find on postcards. leaning more rural, the lanes on the outskirts of town is the least affluent part of the town, with not much in the way of entertainment or business. despite the deprivation, there’s a sense of community here though. hyde woods runs along the edge of the lanes, bunched up right against elmore shores, a mobile home park. some claim the woods are haunted, and many worried parent forbid their children from exploring the caves nearby. rundown in comparison to the other neighborhoods in the town, housing here is made up of small family homes, trailers, and cheaper apartment blocks.

thorpe point

population - 6173 | price point - $$ to $$$$$

thorpe point is home to several sable grove landmarks, such as the towering thorpe lighthouse, beautiful local beaches, infamous wrecks, and beargrass national park. if you enjoy water activities, sports, and being close to nature, thorpe point has some of the most iconic scenery in the area. the housing here is varied here, ranging from homes more rural in nature to beach houses right on the waterfront. due to the location, some homes fall towards the more expensive end of the scale, though price can fall the further from town you’re willing to travel and has the greatest mix of price points.

BAD BUDDY FILMING LOCATIONS 7

This post is a continuation of my six previous ones on filming locations for Bad Buddy (linked here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6).

I was originally planning to post about other locations at Rangsit University, but then all of a sudden a bit of searching on Google Maps flushed out a couple of locations that I had previously thought would be hidden forever.

They had been SO HARD to find that I'm frankly astonished they could have been found at all – but here they are nonetheless, thanks to some stubborn research and the scary reach of Google. They're Pat's post-graduation apartment and Pran's residence in Singapore. 😊

So instead of writing up the Rangsit University locations, I'm going to dive into these first because they could be really easy to visit if you're going to Bangkok – like the suites at Tinidee, you could actually stay in them subject to availability. 👀

PatPran's two apartments in Ep.12 were actually represented by rooms/suites at Jasmine 59 Hotel, located at 9 Sukhumvit 59 (Boonchana), Sukhumvit Road, Klongtan-Nua, Wattana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand.

(above) The Jasmine 59 Hotel, off Sukhumvit Road (near Thong Lor BTS Station) – it's a pretty central location, which was surprising to be honest (almost all the other locations in BBS were way outside central Bangkok)

The hotel's website (linked here) has lots of images with architectural details, fittings and finishes that match what we see in Bad Buddy. With these as a reference, it's easy to infer that one of the smaller rooms at the hotel played the role of Pran's Singapore apartment:

(top) Ep.12 [1I4] 2.41; (bottom) image extracted from Jasmine 59 Hotel's website (linked here) – the curtains, lampshade and (most tellingly) the window mullions are all a match (the image of the Marina Bay Sands was inserted digitally)

(above left) This image of a typical bathroom is also extracted from the hotel website; (above right) Pran's mirror at Ep.12 [1I4] 2.18 has the same horizontal lines at the top and bottom – these are actually frosted glass illumination strips that allow light from behind the mirror to show through (and his marble-tiled wall is also a match)

But it's really this YouTube video linked below that clinches the deal. It's a video of hotel staff conducting a viewing for Korean YouTuber Moojin Thailand, and it shows the actual suite at Jasmine 59 Hotel that stood in for Pat's apartment (Suite 2510). 😍 The viewing of Suite 2510 commences at timestamp 10.39:

The following are some images from BBS and the video above, for comparison:

(top) Ep.12 [4/4] 18.23; (bottom) timestamp 10.39 in the video linked above – the suite number and its illumination design (with a wash of light above and below) match Pat's

(top) Ep.12 [3I4] 2.30; (middle) Ep.12 [4/4] 18.21; (bottom) this image extracted from the YouTube video (timestamp 11.00) has all these corroborating details – the washing machine, the recessed perimeter lighting of the ceiling, the thin orthogonal moldings on the walls of the living area, the coffee table, the placement of the dark gray-brown curtains, the gray kitchen worktop and the cabinetry are all a match

(top) Ep.12 [3I4] 0.17; (middle) Ep.12 [4/4] 18.08; (bottom) this screen cap from the YouTube video at timestamp 13.30 has many corroborating details – the bedhead paneling and uplighting, the framed artwork at the side wall (with recessed illumination all around and a light switch panel in the bottom right corner), the bedside lamps, the curtains, the TV console with a raised rim on three sides only, the legs of the TV itself, and the stainless steel pull handle for the sliding glass door to the outdoor roof terrace

(top) Ep.12 [4/4] 14.07 – this is PatPran's own private rooftop, and is a callback to the venue of Ep.5's epic kiss; (bottom) this screencap from the YouTube video (timestamp 11.51) has the following matching details – the building in the background, the little tree in its tiered gray planter, the mullions of the windows above (at Level 26), the placement of the wall light, and the timber-grained apron tiling in front of the sliding glass doors

(above left) Ep.12 [3I4] 8.14; (above right) this image extracted from the YouTube video is really a perfect match – the lighting strips on the mirror, the overmounted rectangular washbasin on a gray vanity, the hand-held shower, the thin horizontal blinds, the towel rack, the placement of the shower gel/shampoo dispensers and the raised rim of the jacuzzi bath are all corroborating details

So here's one final image to round things off – it's from a building opposite the Jasmine 59 Hotel:

(above) In this exterior view of Jasmine 59 Hotel, Pat's apartment is at the location circled in yellow (screencap from YouTube video linked here, at timestamp 5.43)

In the image above, the distinctive building to the left is Laviq Sukhumvit 57, and it was one of the clues that led me to the Jasmine 59 Hotel.

Truth be told, the scenes set at Pat's apartment in Bad Buddy contained very little information as to the location's true identity. Most of these scenes were interior ones, which typically offer up very few leads to go on. And the few exterior shots that BBS did have were all shrouded by night (and thus were lacking in visual detail).

But hope came from another direction – the same hotel suite was also used to represent Kluen's apartment in the Thai BL Star and Sky: Star in My Mind. 👍

Star in My Mind had many daylit scenes on that roof terrace, which provided a clearer view of the surrounding buildings and which in turn allowed for them to be identified – and they were Laviq Sukhumvit 57, MARU Ekkamai 2 and the Bangkok Business Center.

Triangulating these on Google Maps was the final step to identifying the location of Pat's apartment (and also Pran's residence in Singapore) – at the Jasmine 59 Hotel in Sukhumvit, Bangkok. 😍

‌

[Afterpost Edit – here are the links to all the filming location posts:

Part 1 – The legendary rooftop, PatPran’s student apartments, their high school, the white arches behind the Engineering Canteen, the Zero Waste Village and various seaside scenes, their honeymoon suite, the hospital where Pat was treated for his gunshot graze, and the high school reunion.

Part 2 – Pat and Pran’s family homes, the Flagpole Bar, the car park fight location, and the Jae Si Curry House.

Part 3 – Various locations at and around the rugby field, including Pat’s photoshoot with Ink, the rugby bleachers, the iced milk tea (and green tea wave) picnic table, InkPa’s photography picnic, the old bus stop and the new bus stop. Also Khun Noppharnach’s pharmacy.

Part 4 – Pat’s Engineering Faculty (in and around Rangsit University’s College of Engineering).

Part 5 – Pran’s Architecture Faculty (Rangsity University’s School of Architecture).

Part 6 – Various F&B and commercial locations (eateries, shops, malls and a market).

Part 7 – Pat’s post-graduation apartment and Pran’s residence in Singapore.

Part 8 – Various campus locations filmed within Rangsit University’s Digital Multimedia Complex, including the auditorium and the Freshy Day Song Contest.

Part 9 – The LogTech Building and Pran’s architectural office in Singapore.

Part 10 – Locations for the Our Skyy 2 x Bad Buddy special episodes.

Part 11 – The apartment for rent that Pran went to view in Ep.2, the elevator scene with Pat just after the viewing, and Wai’s apartment.

Part 12 – PatPran’s elementary and high schools, as well as the location of Pa’s near-drowning.

Part 13 – Random locations (Pran searching for his lost earphones, the covered car park where Wai spied on Pat serenading Pran with Nanon's Love Score, the airport car park, the SouthTech U Library, PatPran's rainy day ointment interlude, their motorbike and truck rides in Hua Hin, the approach road to Uncle Yod's bar, the filming location for the music videos Just Friend? and Our Song, and Pran's street address in Singapore).

Will update this list if I can track down the hardware stores – the one remaining location still unidentified! 🤣]

Townhouses: A blend of villa and apartment living, townhouses on Palm Jumeirah offer spacious interiors with multiple floors, private gardens, and often direct beach access.

Steps to Buying a Property in Palm Jumeirah

Purchasing a property in Palm Jumeirah is a significant investment, and it’s essential to understand the process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Determine Your Budget: Properties in Palm Jumeirah are priced at a premium, with prices varying depending on location, size, and type of property. It’s crucial to set a realistic budget, factoring in additional costs like registration fees, agent commissions, and maintenance fees.

Choose the Right Property: Whether you’re looking for a beachfront villa or a luxurious apartment, it’s important to research and compare properties to find one that suits your needs and budget.

Engage a Real Estate Agent: Working with a reputable palm real estate agent who specialises in Palm Jumeirah properties can simplify the buying process. They can provide valuable insights, negotiate prices, and handle legal formalities.

Legal Considerations: Ensure that the property is free from any legal encumbrances. Your agent or lawyer should conduct due diligence to verify the property’s ownership and ensure that all necessary approvals are in place.

Make an Offer: Once you’ve identified the right property, make a formal offer. If the offer is accepted, you’ll need to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and pay a deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price.

Transfer Ownership: The final step is the transfer of ownership, which is done at the Dubai Land Department. You’ll need to pay the remaining balance, along with any associated fees, before the property is officially transferred to your name.

Key Considerations

Service Charges: Properties on Palm Jumeirah come with service charges, which cover the maintenance of communal areas, security, and other services. Make sure to factor these into your budget.

Rental Potential: If you’re buying as an investment, consider the rental potential. Palm Jumeirah is a popular choice for short-term and long-term rentals, offering lucrative returns.

Resale Value: The resale market in Palm Jumeirah is robust, but it’s important to choose a property that will retain its value. Properties with unique features, prime locations, and modern amenities tend to perform better in the resale market.

Buying a property in Palm Jumeirah is a significant investment that offers unparalleled luxury, high returns, and an exclusive lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, Palm Jumeirah provides a diverse range of options that cater to different tastes and preferences. By following the steps outlined in this guide and working with experienced professionals, you can navigate the property market in Palm Jumeirah with confidence and secure your dream property in one of Dubai’s most prestigious locations.

Top 5 Landmarks That Shape Dubai's Modern Skyline

Dubai’s skyline is a dazzling testament to the city’s rapid transformation into a global icon of modernity and innovation. Dominated by futuristic skyscrapers and architectural marvels, the skyline is a showcase of Dubai’s ambition and creativity. Among the standout landmarks shaping this iconic view are structures that push the boundaries of design and engineering.

 Each landmark, from the towering Burj Khalifa to the elegant Burj Al Arab, tells a story of Dubai’s rise as a metropolis known for its luxury, grandeur, and cutting-edge developments. These architectural feats not only define the city’s skyline but also symbolize its role as a leader in global urban development, attracting visitors and admiration from around the world.

Here are some landmarks that shape Dubai's modern skyline.

1. The Burj Khalifa: 

The Burj Khalifa is the iconic centrepiece of Dubai's skyline, representing the city's rapid development and architectural prowess. It is the world's tallest building, standing at 828 meters (2,717 feet). Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill designed the Burj Khalifa, which has a sleek, tapered silhouette inspired by the Hymenocallis flower. The observation decks on the 148th and 148th floors provide stunning panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Burj Khalifa's grandeur extends to its interiors, which feature luxurious apartments, corporate suites, and a five-star hotel. Its towering presence and innovative design make it a must-see tourist attraction and a symbol of Dubai's modernity.

2. Burj al Arab: 

The Burj Al Arab, also known as "the world's only seven-star hotel," is a symbol of opulence and luxury in Dubai. Architect Tom Wright designed the hotel, which rises 321 meters (1,053 feet) above the Arabian Gulf. The Burj Al Arab is built on an artificial island and connected to the mainland by a private bridge. Its interiors are equally impressive, with lavish suites, exquisite dining options, and first-rate service. The hotel's stunning design and extravagant amenities, such as a helipad and underwater restaurant, set it apart as a symbol of Dubai's reputation for luxury and innovation.

3. Dubai Marina:

Dubai Marina is an outstanding example of modern urban planning and development. This man-made canal city, which stretches for 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) along the Persian Gulf, is distinguished by high-rise residential and commercial towers, luxury hotels, and a vibrant waterfront. The Dubai Marina is home to some of the city's most recognizable skyscrapers, including the Cayan Tower, which is notable for its unique twisting design. The Marina Walk, a vibrant promenade lined with cafes, shops, and entertainment venues, provides stunning views of the water and skyline. The Dubai Marina exemplifies the city's dedication to creating dynamic and vibrant urban environments that combine living, leisure, and business.

4. Dubai Frame: 

The Dubai Frame is a striking architectural landmark that offers a unique view of Dubai's past and present. Architect Fernando Donis designed the frame, which consists of two 150-meter tall (492-foot) towers connected by a 93-meter-long (305-foot) bridge at the top. The structure is designed to resemble a picture frame, and its observation deck provides a panoramic view of both Old Dubai and the modern cityscape. The Dubai Frame's innovative design, as well as its role as a cultural and historical landmark, make it an eye-catching addition to the city's skyline, symbolizing Dubai's growth and blend of heritage and modernity.

5. The Palm Jumeirah:

The Palm Jumeirah is a famous artificial island and a marvel of modern engineering. The palm tree-shaped island, which extends into the Persian Gulf, is one of the world's largest man-made islands. It includes a number of luxury resorts, high-end residences, and entertainment venues. The Palm Jumeirah is home to notable landmarks such as the Atlantis the Palm resort and The View at The Palm, an observation deck with breathtaking views of the island and the Dubai coastline. The Palm Jumeirah exemplifies Dubai's ambition and ingenuity, demonstrating the city's ability to build extraordinary and unique landmarks that boost its global reputation.

Conclusion:

The landmarks that shape Dubai’s modern skyline are not just architectural wonders but symbols of the city’s extraordinary growth and vision. From the towering Burj Khalifa to the luxurious Burj Al Arab, each structure contributes uniquely to Dubai’s reputation as a global hub of innovation and luxury. 

These iconic landmarks offer a glimpse into Dubai’s future while celebrating its remarkable achievements. For those eager to explore these marvels and experience Dubai’s vibrant cityscape, securing a 30 days Dubai multiple entry visa can be an excellent option.
