I still like winter tho
No sunburns

Actually masterfully crafted

#

I can't even really tell you what about a game grabs me. Nothing, really, about zomboid is my general pick except for the zombies and I love it more than any other game.

My current fixation is zomboid tho, been playing a lot of it since b42 since it performs so much better for me currently

Also like to hop on halo or helldivers because killing silly alien fun

Halo my beloved

one of my favourite games of 2024, which might even be top 5 all time for me is Lunacid, that game was unreal

actually a 10/10 for me

my non shitty one is 1:1 with a character I actually played

Old car chimes feel like an 113 degree leather seat

the old car chimes, that is.

I have yet to buy a potion because I realized I can get hireling clerics that only exist as healbots forever imprisoned in camp

I remember getting into a truck that smelled like uhh, hospital?
The clean bit of hospital smell
That's it

next trout

My mom's a nurse, been since I was born so I have a nostalgia with hospitals

neon bramble

I should respec one of my unpaid interns or that

currently gale is my meth cook

can't stand them. Give me the heebees... But I can spend all night in a cemetary

we killed Gale.

I'm extra clean after washing my hands lol

I clean them twice

no -the dark urge got whatsherface... well... we got the singer girl in camp. Dark urge gets her...

I thought you fantasized about taking gale's hand a little too hard

next trout
#

fuck... that was october . lol

#

I find Gale absolutely insufferable

neon bramble
#

him getting pissy over asterion is pretty funny

#

speaking of asterion

next trout
#

and Shadowheart is EX-ACT-LEE my type...red flags and all...I actually learned a bit of what's wrong with me from pursuing that romance

onyx igloo
#

Tlou has the coolest looking destroyed cities

#

Tbh

neon bramble
#

I aint big on companion romance but asterion x durge power couple sounds cool so I went with that

next trout
#

I have the strangest fetish for Asterion. i don't want him in my party - that ain't it.

Hand to god, straight as an arrow. I've been presented with opportunities to explore my sexuality and definietly felt a repulsion i nthe moment.

But in more platonic mindframes, there are some men that I'm just drawn to. Asterion is one of them.

neon bramble
#

aint allure half the point of asterion's character

#

he's just the fun kind of asshole

eager cove
#

Man call me a noob but it's insane how I forget about entire cities that exists just because they don't have a spawn point

glad field
next trout
#

no... not just like that...

eager cove
#

Like Ekron, totally forgot it existed

glad field
next trout
#

hard to explain. Because it's not SEXUAL, but it's a sexual energy?

glad field
#

Like staring at a bodybuilder

eager cove
#

I'm currently trying to survive the mistake of venturing into the prison I'm Brandenburg

#

In*

next trout
#

I don't have a thing for bodybuilders, but yes, that suonds in line

#

or if you're REALLY into musicians

neon bramble
#

you can acknowledge someone as a sexy beast without being sexually attracted to them

glad field
#

"I'd be down if this guy wasnt a guy"

#

sound about right?

next trout
#

for me it's humor and wit. Ryan Reynolds is another one

next trout
#

like I would marry Ryan Reynolds. he can keep blake, cuz it's not sexual. I just want to spend the rest of my life with his wit.

onyx igloo
glad field
#

Fair enough. Dont yap about that too much though certain people who want everyone to be exactly like them will take it as an invitation to put ideas in your head

It was filmed around where my uncle lives so I was kinda waiting for it to release before having any idea how much of a classic it would end up being

next trout
# onyx igloo Okay, you lost me Uhh

yeah, it's not an easy thing to explain. My therapist had articulated it someway and I should have written it down cuz it was perfect.

But yes "I'd be down if this guy wasn't a guy" is the summary

onyx igloo
#

Lmao

glad field
#

"I'd buy this guy a drink and listen to his story" is how I put it personally

#

When such thoughts creep in

#

But that applies to a lot of people

next trout
glad field
#

I dont hang around bars though so it's more like

#

"Come to the next get together and meet the guys and lets drink"

next trout
#

when I travel for work I end up in a few bars

glad field
#

It's my belief that you can learn a lot about someone by having a drink or two and just talking

next trout
#

not something I do at home anymore - sometimes during hockey season I'll sit up at BWs

glad field
#

It's a delicate balance though

#

You have to get them just drunk enough to be real

#

But not so drunk that they lose themselves

next trout
#

well, we were talking about quitting the drinking earlier too, so yaeh. Moderation

#

oh, IC. lol

#

it's like bowling

#

you have to balance at that loose point right before tipsy

Brandenburg prison is currently on fire while I tend my wounds in the parking lot...mission success

You'll never know me
I hate the taste of alcohol joker laugh

you're relaxed and fluid but not off balance or losing coordination

glad field
#

Everyone hates the taste

pfft... it's acquired because it is. I love sampling beers. So many creative recipes out there.

Is there a particular explosive that's biggest? Like is the pipe bomb more destructive than the fire bomb?

onyx igloo
eager cove
#

Oh sorry lemme mosey on over there

next trout
#

and I recently developed an appreciation for wine

But liquor is a rarity for me. I keep some around for toddies and other things, but for the most part, liquor is medicinal in my house

glad field
#

My reaction to alcohol is interesting, I dont lose mental abilities until long after the physical effects. Feels like everything happens out of order

onyx igloo
#

Don't drink creme de cacao alone

glad field
#

I'll be stumbling around but fully sober in the head laughing about how I cant move properly

onyx igloo
#

I've gotten sick enough to where my legs got super weak

#

Is it anything like that?

glad field
#

Yes

#

except you dont feel weak until you try to walk

onyx igloo
#

Yeah it was kinda that

next trout
glad field
#

Damn

#

Wild

onyx igloo
#

I went to a casinos restaurant once

#

It reeked of cigarettes and my eyes and nose, and anything breathing hurt

next trout
#

like, gambling?

onyx igloo
#

You gotta walk a hallway through the casino to get to the restaurant

glad field
#

My brain is just weird though. The part that can hold a conversation, enjoy a story, and see reason seems to be less effected by drinking or lack of sleep than the rest of my head and body

next trout
#

some of them really are. If you make it to vegas, it actually is worth the trip even if you don't gamble

glad field
#

I couldve been awake for 48 hours and on my 6th round and I would be talking to you the same way I am now

#

Which is astounding

next trout
onyx igloo
#

Red in my case

#

Although it was.. all red

next trout
#

it was blue (against the casino's green) at the MGM

onyx igloo
#

Either way I reeked of cigarettes

next trout
#

which WAS my favorite one.

#

yes, they're bad that way. but also I smoke, so I rarely notice

onyx igloo
#

I don't like that, because that's not a good look

glad field
#

Not much of a gambler tbh

next trout
#

but also it's awful and I hate smelling like this

onyx igloo
#

Have you tried zyns?

#

Could get rid of the smell
I understand the difficulties of an addiction

next trout
#

wouldn't do it for me. Got WAY too many habits and ticks woven into this by now.

glad field
#

I dont gamble, dont smoke, dont do drugs, dont sleep around, any of that. My vices of choice are food and drink and even those I dont really abuse.

next trout
#

vapes kinda do it, but...

small notch
#

any chance for a thursdoid later on or nah?

glad field
#

My entertainment comes from the few games I enjoy and the stories and drama of random peoples' lives

next trout
#

I need to just get to retirement and smoke nothing but pot for the rest of my life -all day everyday

glad field
#

I just need to find a wife TheMeal

onyx igloo

All those remind me is of my weird 20 year old cousin who was wayyy too open about specific topics

#

Pot, btw

glad field

online we can be open

Ehhhh...

glad field
#

Some people have little shame

icy vigil

id like a little shane

glad field

I have little because I ran out of things to be a ashamed of

#

I already speedran shame

dawn spade
#

I dont think i could have a little shane

#

All the shanes iv known i didnt like

onyx igloo
#

I'm the opposite
Ashamed of things I shouldn't be, probably

icy vigil
#

yeah shane shortage is hard

#

rn

glad field
#

I just decided that if I dont do bad things I dont need to be ashamed

#

So I became better

#

Idk why people dont just do that

onyx igloo
#

I'm waiting out the teenage shit though

next trout
onyx igloo
#

Hopefully I get better with that

glad field
#

Just makes wife material more valuable

#

Im sure I'll find someone worth it

dawn spade

Are we.... are we selling our wifes organs

glad field
#

Are you selling?

dawn spade
#

I wasnt going to but i mean

glad field
#

could use some spare parts

next trout
dawn spade
#

If the price is going up i guess i could maybe convince her

#

Jk im incredibly single

glad field
#

Go find wife

dawn spade
#

Probably has something to do with me being willing to sell my partners organs

I don't want to I wanna make bad financial decisions with a car first

this book is gud as fuck

glad field
#

Tbh I just feel like if I had someone to do it for I could lift mountains but I dont have that motivator at the moment

dawn spade
#

I dont

glad field
#

if I had a sweetheart to come home to I'd work the 8 billion hour work week with a smile and that's just fact

#

Im young though, I have time

dawn spade

Im busy with my own stuff these days i kinda dont have much interest in like... cooperating with a partner rn

I need car.

Car for cool things
Car for money waster

dawn spade

I have a whole, ex alcoholic, debt, and relearning how to be me thing to focus on

cuz it's clearly not just you in this pickle

glad field

God helps but only in the morality department

#

Not the practical one

onyx igloo
dawn spade
onyx igloo
#

Just as I

dawn spade
next trout
# glad field Not the practical one

not so - pray on a problem and look to where morality that you understand connects to it. You've got a moral light in hand - point it at a mystery

glad field

whys that

next trout
dawn spade

I mean, that might be stubborness talking

#

But i refuse to share the trophy when i get out of my mess

glad field
onyx igloo
glad field
#

I wait for a sign and when I get it a I pounce at opportunity, but the heavens have been silent as of late

#

maybe i'm meant to stagnate for now, idk

dawn spade
#

Sometimes u just gotta chill

onyx igloo
#

Make a go cart

dawn spade
#

But chilling for too long is its own issue

next trout
# glad field Nope

find a spiritual mentor or mentoring group. be wary and measured, but there's a reason why congregation is so important - the church is the people under god, not a person under god

glad field
#

I could take this as a sign to do my own thing and that I'm on thw right track, but idk

next trout
glad field
#

Everything seems like it will inevitably be in limbo until I move out and start life anew (hopefully in texas)

dawn spade
glad field
#

But there are steps that must be taken before I move

dawn spade
#

I believe what makes sense to me

glad field
#

Maybe thats why im not getting anything

next trout
glad field
#

rough plan

next trout
#

"makes sense to me" - in what way?

onyx igloo
#

May not make sense to you but we all have different thought processes

dawn spade
#

Well, i figure all the pre build religions are head canon, thats not to say there god isnt real, i just dont have faith in peoples ability to have correctly interpreted the lessons

next trout
# glad field rough plan

there really is something to that 'visualization == realization' stuff - write a goal on the bathroom mirror kinda thing. It really has a noticable sub-conscious effect

glad field
# next trout got it organized into a list or a plan?

At the moment im waiting for my car to be fixed so I can get my license inmediately after but that wont be done til the weekend. After that I need to finish my associates degree (almost done), then I need to work for a little while and build up a little capital (have a job lined up)

#

Then i need to find a property

#

And move

next trout
glad field
#

Well, more like I'll get my job I already had back after I get my license

dawn spade
#

My values are largely christian coz like, westerner

glad field
#

Cant carpool to the shift they need me on

#

unfortunately

#

things are moving, albeit slowly

next trout
#

what's the impetus to move?

glad field
#

we'll get there

next trout
#

where are you at righ now?

glad field
#

No opportunity where I am

next trout
#

no opportunity job-wise?

glad field
#

Basically yeah

#

and what little there is is fiercely competitive

next trout
#

rural? collapsing metropolis? bullshit suburb?

glad field
#

bullshit suburb

#

sorta

next trout
#

so what's the destination?

glad field
#

somewhere near houston

onyx igloo
#

any advice for a first job if I get one?

glad field
#

plenty of jobs in every field, and I have a lot of friends down there I have known for ages

onyx igloo
#

My chances don't look great rn

#

Could just be anxiety tho

next trout
#

that's a tough market... cost of living is higher than average for TX and jobs aren't that much higher paying. Austin is a nightmare with respect to this. My son has been looking at San Antonio

glad field
#

Everyone I have met from texas seems to have this outlook on life that I love

next trout
#

but also depends on what your target profession is etc

glad field
#

tech

#

IT

next trout
#

then houston makes sense

#

much more sensible than austin, better crime rates, etc.

glad field
#

and if it fails I think I'll do hvac

next trout
#

I've been teaching my kids to do the trade first, pay for college with it if thats what you do

glad field
next trout
#

something to fall back on

#

and hvac is cool - if you have a decent mind to figure the stuff out (cuz the control boards are all piecemeal one-off terrors), you can make bank

#

it gets up to 160 in those attics, though

glad field
#

if the firearms industry was easier to freelance in i'd do that instead but I dont have a workspace to develop the skills working on them

next trout
#

mine was 180 when the cable guy was working. I literally had to mop under where the ladder was

glad field
#

I'd definitely come prepared

next trout
#

lol

glad field
#

cooler full of drinks and ice

next trout
#

not trying to dispel you of it. LOL. just... stories from 40 laps around sol

glad field
#

oh I know

next trout
#

but sounds like you've got a direction. Just don't know what's off that way or what you can hope to be off that way

glad field
#

I'm also just gonna yknow, take a trip down there to hang with the guys and check out the state first

next trout
#

and you live in "interesting times"

glad field
#

before I make a decision

next trout
#

for sure. AirBNB for a week or something. Really explore

glad field
#

got a lot of friends a little south of houston and we've known eachother for like 8 years now

#

some well off some not

next trout
#

I want to run an airbnb/timeshare - mybe start a business around it -in new Orleans. I spent two weeks there walking around the city, checking out building plans and layouts. Fun system-brain stuff

#

and that's awesome. Roommate prospects?

glad field
#

Potentially

#

One wants to get into real estate if his engineering gig doesnt work out

next trout
#

best way to save money if you can find compatible people.

#

even if for 6 or 12 mo just to get a down or enough cushion or etc

glad field
#

Another lives on a big ranch, one is just filthy rich for some reason

#

and the rest arent very noteworthy

next trout
#

I like that your plan is a rough draft... I never faired well making rigid plans

glad field
#

Leaves room for variation

#

Flexible

#

If your expectations arent high you cant be disappointed

next trout
#

you're the PERFECT age for that kind of cynicism. LOL

the golden age really is over, eh?

glad field
#

Golden age is right now

#

tbh

#

If I hit 26 and still havent moved then we can get truly cynical

next trout
#

nah... the US has been in decline for at least 2 decades now. it's palpable, really.

glad field
#

oh i thought you meant the golden age of my lifetime

next trout
#

oh. HAHAH

glad field
#

yeah the 90s seem like they were peak

#

shame I didnt see em

#

2003 baby

next trout
#

no. that's def. not true. I didn't come close to peak until about 32 - then it was interrupted by a nasty divorce - so at 45 I'll be settling for my silver era instead

#

my birthyear starts with a 1. LOL

glad field
#

Poor soul

next trout
#

pfft. I was the last generation that knew what childhood is.

#

I'm good

glad field
#

My childhood was alright

#

Though we were also flat broke so eh

next trout
#

meh - money isn't as important in raising kids as peple mke it out to be

glad field
#

I'm the oldest of a lot of kids

next trout
#

it IS difficult to be a properly attentive parent with that kind of stress, but it's doable. Humans have done it for a long time with far less

glad field
#

So many kids that the youngest will be an adult when im past 30

next trout
#

lol - whats' a lot?

#

I wanted 10

glad field
#

9

next trout
#

oh, yeah. Perfect

#

9 would be BEAUTIFUL

#

got 4 so far, and I can maybe eek out 2 more at some point

glad field
#

as someone who only had older sibling responsibility and not parental responsibility, im tellin you now

#

You dont know what you're asking for

next trout
#

nah - this would be a separate litter

#

lol

glad field
#

ah

#

i see

next trout
#

the older 3 are doing alright. 5 more years until I'm done paying their mom. Number 4 I need to save for a private eye to track his mama down.

glad field
#

For a while im probably just gonna have cats tbh

next trout
#

and him, of course

glad field
#

I need a break

next trout
#

cats are cool

#

I'm a dog person, but this latest cat has grown on me

glad field
#

my cat is still laying with me

mine is on the counter eating. He's a little runt of a guy, but he's been putting on weight lately. Thinking I might need to change food or something. Cuz he gets plenty o exercise. he's generally an outdoor cat

glad field
#

I need to get another cat so this one isnt lonely. Other one died recently

next trout
#

his mom was feral

#

oh, yeah... if a cat is solitary, it's fine being solitary, but once they're used to a friend...

glad field
#

fat orange cat, he was like 30 pounds and he lost all of it due to kidney disease and died

#

He was also a big cat though, big build, strong

next trout
#

I worry what will happen when my dog passes. Need to get a puppy soon to ease te trasition and this dog will teach the puppy some things...

#

my daughter's been wanting one, so maybe her birthday.

glad field
#

Always been a cat person because they're lower maintenance

next trout
#

always been a dog person because I'm higher maintenance

#

but sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders. That's good to see. I saw what happend to millennials and I worry - having zoomer/alpha kids and it hasn't gotten any better since they were born

glad field
#

You might think differently if you talked to me about other things considering you said bigot earlier unironically Sip

next trout
#

was it unironic?

glad field
#

Who knows?

next trout
#

I can't think of anytime I said that word unironically unless about myself. LOL

glad field
#

Some people here would call me one

next trout

Nah

oh okay i took it out of context that’s my bad

glad field

I mean stick around long enough and you might not like what I say

#

Your choice though

worldly forum
#

i don’t like what anyone says ever

next trout
#

and we really didn't like people picking on our friends in theater or band or choir and one time some kid thought he could hit tease our classmate with cerebral palsy... the school didn't do anything about it because he got hispunishment in the cafeteria

worldly forum
#

i wish everyone would stop talking always /j

glad field
#

Well obviously teasing someone with a severe disability is wrong

#

If you wanna know where I stand I dont like racists or people who pick on the disabled, but other than that I dont really have any real problems with a little disagreement or shenaniganry

next trout
#

I'm an equal opportunity hater. As an extrovert, I have a good idea of what percentage of the population is shitty - and it's a lot. But I still need interaction with them or I break. And the problem as I see it is everyone is right and everyone is wrong. And no one is willing to examine their wrong because they're too fixated on the other guy's

glad field
#

Pretty spot on

wispy lance
next trout
#

facts are, some stereotypes exist for a reason, no one has any idea what they're doing, and most are just too afraid to say anything for fear that they'll be found out for not knowing what's going on, either.

#

It was easy to dig up their hypocrisy and expose it

#

But then it taught me I had my own

#

and that everyone does

next trout
#

oh yeah. most people's covers are real thin because most criminals (bad actors) are dumb

glad field
#

problems with the groups I am a part of that I would be likely to overlook or downplay becahse of bias

#

It took a mini crusade to realize I needed to look inward too

next trout
#

depends on that background, i suppose

next trout
glad field
#

But as a consequence I now only loosely associate myself with basically any group

#

I dont commit

next trout
#

that's the start of the steady climb

#

meh - groups are weird

#

if you're still figuring out what you aim to be, it's hard to pick a group t ohelp get you there

glad field
#

My politics would be the best example but politics arent allowed here

next trout
#

cuz that's what they do, btw. No one does it alone. Your network is your lifesblood

#

meh - politics themselves are largely immaterial to the process. If they become law, they can change things, but that's a different discussion

glad field
#

all im gonna say is we are about to be in a time of great change and I am hopeful that it ends well, but I'm not going to rely on that either

next trout
#

it's not pretty or nice or comfortable or whatever and in todays economy, you're not gonna see the same outcome as previous generations, but it IS still true - you'll do fine if you: learn, work smart, save, don't quit

I think it doesn't affect reading. Been awhile since I had that mod.

glad field

Yeah not reading

tardy fiber
#

Alright, I'll do some testing with reading then

#

Thanks alot for the help

next trout
#

so actually, toasted and I just had a still fairly surface level spiritual discussion. But I take your reference to NOW in a singular metaphysical sense of: all time is 'NOW'. All instances are occurring at the same moment in the universe anyway, etc. but I find it meaningful to ply trade in the world of the worldly, too. Part of my beliefs and, sure, biological imperative to the extent it guides me. And in this sense, we're at a historic moment worldwide right now. These are 'interesting times'

wraith bolt
#

the golden age o groteaque

#

the golden age of grotesque

next trout
#

that's one way of putting it, for sure

glad field
#

I mean they are pretty interesting but tbh times have been interesting since we started getting global news

wraith bolt
#

it's a luciferian term

next trout
#

not really. not in the sense I mean.

You don't learn in history about every attack that happened to the yemeni prince in your 1700s history course. Because ti wasn't important enough to be spread far. Available - historians can access and report on it. But it's not taught like washington's cherry tree.

#

and the explosion of that fireworks factory in n africa made the news cycle for almost a week, but it's not going to be a waypoint in the history books 200 years from now

wraith bolt
#

the cherry tree is a metaphor...until you know about the dead tree at the heart of his monument

next trout
#

the outcome of current conflicts however?

wraith bolt
#

the conflicts are staged

glad field
#

Historians decide what is absolutely integral to the progression of history and what is important by sorting through all of it

wraith bolt
#

sad but true

next trout
#

all of them are, but that doesn't mean they aren't real in nearly all of the ways that we mean when we say 'real'

glad field
#

I dont believe wars are staged

#

Tbh

wraith bolt
#

maybe orchestrated?

next trout
#

yes. that's the word

wraith bolt
#

ok then

glad field
#

I believe some people who stand to benefit monetarily or ideologically push things along

#

They nudge us toward instability

wraith bolt
#

indeed

glad field
#

give us reasons

wraith bolt
#

motivations

next trout
#

manufacture reasons

glad field
#

Often times they fail

#

but sometimes

#

On occasion

#

They succeed

wraith bolt
#

they shotgun effecct propaganda

next trout
#

sometimes plant explosives or poison a S American president

glad field
#

Now I dont think like, the world wars were orchestrated

next trout
#

of course they were

wraith bolt
#

albert pike would smile at that

next trout
#

everyone was putting their pieces into place

glad field
#

those were powder kegs that would inevitably go off anyway in my opinion

next trout
#

LONG before anyone got shot

glad field
#

Maybe people were preparing because they saw it was a powder keg though

next trout
glad field
#

In my experience people are opportunists not long term planners

#

Overwhelmingly

wraith bolt
#

Unfortunately you are likely missing massively important information about the actual nature of our realm that would lead you to these other conclusions

#

actual science too

#

like the 2022 nobel prize winners in physics

next trout
#

if you were privy to the same information as these people are, you would be planning MILES ahead

glad field
#

Now I wont say some dont break the mold

#

There are people who can forego short term profit so to speak

#

they exist

wraith bolt

#

hi can yall recommend servers for zomboid?

#

first time doing this sorta thing

next trout
#

well, make sure to wear protection

wraith bolt
#

I dont know any private servers sorry 😦

narrow bear
#

brocolli pops up a lot

glad field
#

All I'm really trying to say is there arent very many people who exclusively profit from a war. It's a risk

next trout
#

as for servers, look over the public ones and try them out. That's what me and my buddies do when we do

wraith bolt
glad field
#

now of course there are people who want a war so they can further an ideological goal

next trout
#

I also run a private server - that might be an option for you if you have enough juice your machine to host

glad field
#

but cant admit it openly

next trout
#

but if you're looking for others to play with, no better way than to log in and look or them

narrow bear
glad field
narrow bear
#

want my friends to play even when im not there

Yeah you're losin me

next trout
wraith bolt

it's about spirit corrupted through flesh(carbon666) into silicon

it's energy types

frosty tulip

but the descriptions are usually pretty good on the public servers, so look for things that you think you'd like and give it a spin. You might get a lot of mod downloads

but that's an online progressive...i get that...i ahve countless hours into wow

but 7500 on zomboid is just love

i hope they name a meal after you or something a plushie

narrow bear
#

to make the zombies more how do i put it

#

dangerous

#

like a l4d mod that adds tanks

glad field
#

just add sprinters

wraith bolt
glad field
#

sprinters make the game hard enough

narrow bear
#

i add mixed

glad field

turning off multi hit also makes the game stupid hard

#

try that

wraith bolt
#

waaaaayyyy harder

glad field
#

crowbar meta dies with multi hit off

#

becomes a joke weapon

wraith bolt
#

most weapons are cause they only take down a couple zombies at a time

cedar hornet

You eventually get used to no multihit at some point and come back to being a killing machine

narrow bear

i go for insane population slow zombies no multi hit

You can change them easily lol

yeah

wraith bolt

but that's what i did 😦

narrow bear
#

wait

#

it legit wont drop stuff as often???

patent surge
#

Yeah the test build had the loot rate adjusted
I think it was 0.6 before, now it’s 0.4

#

And there’s some stuff in the settings about how zombie population density effects loot rates for areas as well

#

But you can turn that off and up the rates if that’s too much

wraith bolt

i might....might retry it...but i'll prolly dive deep into the new final fantasy

Oh god, they’re still making those?
