how does the pip-boy know the names of post apocalyptic towns and cities if it was made before the towns were founded?

God Fallout 4 was such a dissapointing turd.

Every other Bethesda game has been flawed but still good. Fallout 4 was just a mediocre mess.

as nice as a feature like that is, it's not game changing and just an extra layer of unnecessary gimmicky fluff
>>
>>332387798
an unnecessary gimmicky fluff would be open worlds that act as a loading screen between areas. having npcs update your map gives u a reason to actually talk to them and listen to what they have to say instead of just skimming through hoping they will give u a quest or an item that the game auto gps for you

Maybe your character is the one putting the names into the pipboy?
>>
>>332387486
maybe you mark it yourself?
>>
>>332387486
Considering half the places have absolutely retarded names I'd say mr, or mrs, Freeze is putting the names in himself.

>real-time smart updates based on gathered data from a voice-activted mic, pedometer, and topographical data collected through various sensory receptors

I've actually wondered this myself, and this is how my mind reasoned it.
>>
>>332388563
...or maybe your character just wrote it down on the pipboy
>>
>>332387486
Not sure about 3, 4 or 5 but in 2 when NPC gave you location they usually said 'I'll mark it on your map', that's probably it, they put finger somewhere on your map and you make permanent marker same way you make nameless markers.
>>
>>332387640
how did that happen

This. The characters put the markers on the map. It doesn't take much to realize this.

>>332387486
Good question

Most of the time it gets marked by exploring the area.
Or when you ask around and get told about other areas.
Manual marking is a thing.

You never EVER fully extend your legs while doing leg presses like that. That's what happens. Your legs are designed to have a lot of strength going one way.. not the other.

No faggot. Defending logic.

You cant hate on something that makes sense.

ME

>>332390675
That machine is perfectly safe as long as you don't fully extend your legs like she did. Always keep your knees bent. So when your legs fail you, they fail you going the right way.
