I'd also recommend getting Nuka World and Far Harbor expansions. Many prefer Far Harbor but I really like Nuke a World.

I thought Far Harbor's story was even better than the main game. Excellent dlc.

Links worked for me.
Kind of an interesting idea, you should conduct one more test, try it without the balls and see if anything feels different.

The problem I have is that there's one ball per side, that's not really enough to guide it and for it to do much it would actually decrease the point of contact. While this can reduce friction it can also increase long term wear, especially when there's a decent chance it's not actually rolling but simply gliding up the shaft, dissimilar materials against each other slide better that similar materials. This is why some companies use different plastics on housing vs sliders, it's not all just for sound.

I'm not saying it doesn't work, it certainly can make it more smooth, the question is how, how much and how it will work long term. I do appreciate them trying something new, I just wish they'd put more than one per side, one just seems meh. I'd argue a self lubricating/oil impregnated bronze bushing lined shaft or stem would make it far better (though far more expensive to design and manufacture). Mostly though is any of it really necessary if lube is doing all the work anyhow (if done properly)?

Anyhow, thanks for the review, they're interesting and I probably never would have known about them otherwise.

As an update, the beam springs themselves can now be ordered separately here:

They are IBM spec and some folks have used them to repair original rusty or damaged IBM beam springs.

Yes confirmed; that original proposal was not selected for production.

Finished Fallout
Sooo good!!!

Would this show work for a person who never games?

Yeah, while it very much follows Fallout lore, it doesn't require you to know anything about the game, in fact knowing the game actually makes some of it rather predictable (though in a good way).
