to my knowledge the only time such injectors have been mentioned are with regard to power armor. I don't think KKat ever mentioned a thing like that as part of the standard pipbuck package, and Somber I don't think has used it since that one time.

A pipbuck constantly monitors everything from radiation levels to chemical usage to broken bones, and depending on the version tracks hydration level, nutrition, and fatigue. In order to do half the things it does, it would need to be hooked into your blood stream if not nervous system constantly. That's why it's such a complex process to put one on or take it off; you're basically becoming a low level cyborg the moment you lock it on your leg. In most cases, the safest way to administer chems would be through the pipbuck; it's got enough medical programming and feedback from the user that it would be better at administering medicine than anybody short of a trained doctor.

[SilentCarto]

As to that from FoE prologue

What is a PipBuck? A PipBuck is a device, worn on a foreleg just above the hoof, issued to every pony in a Stable when they become old enough to start work. A blending of unicorn pony magic and science, your PipBuck will keep a constant measure of your health and even help administer healing poultices and other medicine,

Which I'm guessing covers Rad-x as well

Well, "help administer" is pretty vague. I think that's a reference to being able to heal a particular limb with stimpacks in FO3/NV, as if the pipboy were offering first-aid advice.

@Sindri: (thingy) Ah, okay. Thanks for the advice. Might should have asked for advice before giving a reply earlier. But anyhow, will check their latest response after commenting here. And can hopefully negotiate with them.

@Wave: (Spoiler) Yeah, might should have mentioned this is only referring to "characters that use them". One such example was when I saw someone neglect to even MENTION it on a reference sheet for a 18+ character that was commonly used in adult artwork, whilst their male character's genital took up 1/5 / 1/4'th of the reference sheet. Then being told the female genital is irrelevant and not even relevant to the character design. In what ways is it not relevant? It is part of the character... so yeah, it was mostly just aimed to more "directly sexual" characters. But that said, as you don't normally draw it, or well, at least not show us xD And the suit was in the way, and it was accurately placed, do know I don't harbour any of my "rabble" towards you :P

@Everypony: (Pill/syringe discussion) Is this the time I mentioned the second best way for the body to absorb fluid/stuff apart from injection?

[Sindri]

Is this the time I mentioned the second best way for the body to absorb fluid/stuff apart from injection?

I think they can figure it out from there. Although I'm not sure that's actually more effective than other mucal membranes; I'd expect snorting powder to be as or more effective. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem many studies have been done on the subject for some reason.

[Cptadder]

And Kippershy wins the cookie for correct knowledge. Please note don't try this at home there's a reason why those kinds of medications are made differently than oral or injection methods. Don't try using that method with any old drug no matter how bad the headache or how high you want to get.

[Kippershy]

-enjoys cookie-

Totally gotta do a crap drawing of Crimson with a cookie now.

[FeatherDust]

No, it slowed the clicking, which means it increased her rad resistance. It didn't make the rad needle drop.

Sorry, I confused the two quotes that were being thrown around.

*sigh*...You would...

Then again, should I have expected anything less?

Here's some cool medicines that I recently read about, while we're on topic.

I'm on p25 of Hightower and she's halfway through. We'll see if I can do this in one chapter or 2.

Keep up the good work, Somber!

Goody. Status updates are nice.

Oh lord, I think Somber is about to pull a chapter 37 on us. Nothing wrong with long chapters, but 37 took me 12 hours...

I really need to read FO:E.......Still haven't xD :mybad:

It isn't really something to take lightly, it's longer than it looks. But, if you like it, you'll want to read chapter after chapter.

[Meleagridis]

Hoping for two. More opportunity for character interaction in the expanded team.

[SilentCarto]

But be sure you read chapter before chapter, too, or you'll get really confused.

Yes, yes, read them in sequence. Or you will indeed get confused.

[O. Hinds]

Okay, the PipBuck injector thing has been removed and replaced with an oral administration.

Damn my Navy mind that automatically turned that dirty despite being 100% medically correct statement.
OAN I'm hoping Blackjack gets back to Glory soon if only so I can see more Rainbow Glory jokes. That and Blackjack lacks a straight man.. pony(Hah!) to work off of since both P-21 and Glory are off on their own there's now one besides Psycho/Whisper to call Blackjack on her dumb yet successful ideas.

I don't think either Glory or P-21 is qualified as a "straight" anything...

I'm impressed, guys; we managed to go a whole four and a half hours without saying that.

Subtext is funny, never mind once we throw in Scotch it's the gayest little group in the wasteland were it not for Whisper and Stiggy we'd be absent any breeders.
Our resident Alicorn only counts if she acts on that little attraction (And I hope she does, because frankly it's the most adorable FoE couple)

OAN:Why am I the first person to make the Stiggy is the Stig joke here? Every time someone calls him Stiggy I only see the Stig in my head and wonder when a Batpony started testing German racing cars.

I suppose the rest of us just don't spend as much time thinking about German racing cars as you do.

And don't worry, Lacunae x Stronghoof is totally canon.

[Cptadder]

I can not be the only fan of Top Gear here, a show that features such useful car tips on how to buy a car in the UK and turn it into a boat for under a thousand pounds or useful economy cars you can drive to work and not just to the parking lot but to your desk.

And don't worry, Lacunae x Stronghoof is totally canon.

Yes but Stronghoof needs to make him move. Think it's time after the Prison for Lacunae needs to go on a nice relaxing date.

Or just repurpose a snow plow to melt ice and clear roads. And then crash crap. And there's that one time they pushed a car off a cliff.

[Cptadder]

Or the time Jeremy showed what a great car the Reliant Robin is minus one key safety issue.
And also my favorite top gear segment in the ten years of doing the new show. If you have eight minutes it's a must watch video.

[Aonee]

Did you see the one where the tried to repurpose a Robin as a spacecraft? It goes about as well as you would think.
