Is it really worth getting all worked up over? Yeah it's kind of weird but Cataclysm isn't that serious and having goofy poo poo to mess with is fun. Does it make me a bad person for thinking playing a crack addicted furry sounds hilarious?

Oh yeah, okay I see what you're getting at. I didn't know the DDA devs were doing quantity of random junk over quality additions.

You can put stuff in things like lockers and dressers right? I haven't played in forever but I swear that was possible, what obstuse key combo is it hiding under?

I made a lumberjack and started in a cabin. Screamy the Lumberjack immediately discovered three zombies in her shed, so she murdered them with her axe and dumped their corpses in the woods. While there she came across a bunch of dead people with a shitload of cocaine, cigarettes, and pot. She brought all of this back to her house, drank some beer, went into the woods, got into a fight with a coyote, and snorted some coke to deal with the incredibly bad head wound it somehow managed to inflict. Then she looted a building next to an abandoned mine and found a vibrator with a fully-charged battery. Before she could bring her new acquisition home and add it to her post-apocalyptic chillzone stash, she encountered another coyote, which immediately bit her in the head and killed her. A+, would die again.

I almost wish there was a way to know if your character is gonna die to insane poo poo right away, cause then I wouldn't waste my time grinding skills before getting mulched immediately :suicide:

The default one - Chesthole I think its called. I haven't checked the other tilesets so i may not work with them?

RetroDays definitely does not, which is sad because it's the only tileset I can stand. Stuff like Chesthole and MShock might look "better" but they're waaaaay less readable at a glance.

Making a shitload of noise by emptying your mag so zombies surround you and you can't possibly miss indeed sounds like a solid strategy. May as well get drunk as gently caress to make it fun!

Lost a really promising character to infection, of course. RIP in piece Slim Jim the Biker, you were too good for this poo poo zombie world. Maybe next time the RNG will take mercy on you.

I've been playing around with different starts and so far I really dig the Punk Rocker. Starting with a trenchcoat and a nice pair of boots really takes some of the scramble out of early game. The free weed and smokes are nice too. I'm sure it's not optimal points-wise but who cares?

e; That's quite a start, never been thrown into a burning evac shelter before.

Nah I've updated since then, I was probably being a big retard and wearing two coats or something. Lost that character by going into a basement and immediately being mobbed by survivor zombies and a smoker yay!

gently caress me, it seems like every city I generate lately has more special zombies than normal ones. Makes it a huge bitch to start out when you can't go into town without being mauled by shockers or brutes. I'd use the mundane zombies mod but eventually that gets stale as hell. Maybe I'll try turning down spawn density a little.

Also lots of furry equipment that, unlike survivor gear and ancient weapons, are not given the option of excluding via mod by default.

If you don't burn every fursuit you find to fuel your bio-monster I don't know what to tell you.

On the plus side, if you want to you can print a pile of the boring records out and tear them all up for paper in case you needed to roll up some joints.

I take Night Vision on every single character I make, it's supremely useful. It's real dangerous to start doing night raids into town without some planning though, if you get lost or don't have a route planned back it can get bad fast.

Spikes are the way to go specifically because they're easy to make. Car stuff breaks pretty fast so renewability is important.
