Yeah was an LP, bunch of nice stories popped up in the original thread too. Going to try to scrounge some of those up.

Thanks for all the suggestions for the new OP.

Oh yeah, more likely that you'll drop all the ceilings and leave the walls intact, but you could drop an entire structure with a single demolition attempt (fake edit or a single crossbow bolt). There's no shame in save scumming.



For stories, there’s the time I collapsed half a house with a crossbow bolt.

Climbing in an island prison start is practically required to survive. My strategy is to get a book or skill magazine from the room you start in and read it on the roof got a few hours. The dum dums will get most of themselves killed in all of the barbed wire, lol. You might even get a working gun from the body of a cop, which can be used to take out the hulk. If nothing else, you'll at least fond a lighter, which can make a fire trap for the stragglers

Also the hulk can smash open the locked gun room if you lure him there

As far as I can tell they haven't added any others yet, that text seems to be mostly there to point out that they might add others at some point.

I threw it. The throw message didn't show up the log for some reason. It's certainly a funnier mental image if you imagine me running towards the pack of goblins while carrying the grenade, though.

A grenade clutched in each hand, running towards a pack of goblins with a scream as thrown rocks bounce off your chest. This is the kind of thing you can only experience in this game. :allears:

All the world's a stage I'm going through


First time flying a helicopter was a trip and a half. I usually play more-or-less random characters, and got given the one where you're a pilot who's landed their little helicopter just as it runs out of gas. The map put me pretty near a private airport, and it only needed gasoline as fuel anyhow, so I soon had it filled back up.

I made exactly one successful flight of about 300 yards. Second flight, I was only about 2 z-levels off the ground, and apparently hit some tall grass with the undercarriage - tall grass being the bane of helicopters everywhere, I assume.

It crashed, causing every single piece of the vehicle to explosively deconstruct, leaving me sitting in the frame on the grass, completely uninjured. It felt like something from a Warner Bros. cartoon.

10/10, GOTY, would recommend, etc.

That being said, good luck navigating in one of these loving things. All you can see around you is empty air (unless you're flying low enough to smash into some grass), so it's a constant ballache of pulling up the map, shifting it down a few z-levels to see the terrain, moving a few squares, pulling up the map again...

Is there actually any other kind of meth in the game? The name implies it, but I've never seen anything.

Pretty sure there isn't, but that didnt stop me from making a joke.

I imagine if someone made a pr and a push request with high grade meth that maybe had more stimulant effect, it would be accepted though

Speaking of drugs, is there a mod that gives drugs their old effects back? At some point they changed it so that stimulants for example basically do nothing but increase your mood, raise your speed by a percent or two, and absolutely tank your health. I liked it more when doing a line of cocaine while being chased by a hulk was the difference between life and death.

there used to be adderall which is called prescription stimulant in the newer versions. its the strongest stimulant other than adrenalin but its not considered unhealthy like cocaine or low grade meth. its also not very addictive.

If you're talking about the name change, it's probably a trademark thing. Adderall isn't a legally generic term like aspirin is. Might be they were concerned.

I think the comment was more about the lack of benefits to Meth

Cocaine is still useful as a short term morale booster of you space out doses enough to not make addiction a serious problem so I don't think it's a principled opposition to drugs that drove that change but rather a overcommitment to a certain perverse notion of 'realism'

Ah, alright then. Well, I've never done any meth, low-grade or otherwise, so I can't comment. It does metabolize notoriously quickly, though, and the comedown is said to be crazy harsh compared to other stimulants.

It was also because a drug apparently instantly stops being harmful and addictive if its 'prescription', versus those illegal drugs poor people take.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from there. It's certainly easy enough to misuse Adderall and Ritalin as easily as any other prescription narcotic, although it's probably somewhat less harmful to you long-term. Some of the by-product stuff that I've heard about being found in domestically cooked meth is pretty horrific.

The big big difference between a methhead and someone taking amphetamines to control ADHD is that the latter is taking small, precisely measured doses on a schedule. Using adderall recreationally will gently caress you up as much as using any other strong stimulant recreationally. It's about usage, not whether its one of the Approved Good Drugs.

As someone who takes small, measured doses of Ritalin on a schedule for ADHD, I can confirm that.

They could argue that the prescription stimulants are extended release and harder to abuse (though you could for greater effect and greater downside)

Yeah, it's as easy as chewing the pills instead of swallowing them, really. The extended release factor tends to lie in the coating on the individual globules.

I think the main complaint here fwiw is that previously meth, stimulants et. al. had gameplay effects; most notably that they increased speed significantly, and also boosted INT (which meant the best way to perform dangerous cybernetic surgery upon yourself was to get yourself good and methed up first) and those were removed for unclear reasons, not that it doesn’t accurately represent the effects of methamphetamines.

edit: also because it means drugs are 100% pointless in the game now unless you seriously need to recover from a morale crash or something, especially compared to their hilarious drawbacks and crashes.

I genuinely don't understand the naming conventions of this game. Some things, mostly foods, are badly-described generics that I have to figure out what they're even describing. Other things are "Necco wafer". They use brands seemingly at random.

"Necco wafers" are very New England-y (the factory used to be here), so I wonder if that's why they get namedropped.
