it's extremely hardcore, but the latest patch added inertia to movement so you're going to run into less guys who are decked out in the best gear because it's too heavy.

what you will need to read about is how some of the locations of missions, but you should def play with friends, because while solo can be fun, you're going to want to learn together.

plus, you can play around and gently caress up as much as you want while learning, then reset your character (once every 3 weeks) and get your starting gear over again.

you can also run scavs, which are not persistent characters, are of the "npc" class, are randomly spawned with random (usually bad) gear in an ongoing level, and if they do survive escaping, you can keep their gear, so you'll never be in a situation where you can't play.

the biggest secret to having fun in the game is to lose the "gear fear" and just assume you're going to lose whatever badass gun and ammo you find and go kill someone instead of hoarding it all and never using it.

Thanks for the tips! I'll jump on the goon discord too. Does it make sense buying the most expensive Bad With Money edition for max inventory space?

kenshi is good but i got to the point where i could keep food going, and nobody passing by could bust my defenses, and i was entirely self sufficient, but it was impossible to travel out without getting owned by futuristic robots so i just sorta fell off of it.

this is my first monitor that has a high refresh rate, a resolution above 1080p and is curved.

I think you’re right that this is one of those “can never go back” moments.

The first time I used a high-refresh monitor I ended up returning it because I didn't see what the big deal is. Now that I've been using one for like a year I immediately notice the difference if I have to drop to 60 for some reason.

Don't buy 4K desktop monitors. Bad bad idea. Fractional scaling is a non-starter.

So is the mini smoke machine basically a vape machine but with some tweaks, or is it a different tech? I saw some diorama photos a while back with smoke effects and it the behind-the-scenes video the guy was just puffing on his vape and then blowing it in place with a drinking straw :o:

im just really enjoying being able to jump into a hobby in 2021 and being able to do everything i ever dreamed of doing when i was 16 and every step has been heavily annotated and is now fairly straightforward to do. like 3d printed terrain vs foamcore


my first motorcycle is a kawasaki ninja 250 and 100% of everything that i would need or would ever happen to that machine is fully documented and thats just totally loving wild
