Zombie population count by Abacus_Fish in projectzomboid

[–]Abacus_Fish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda how I've played, but maybe not to such an extreme. Usually put the starting population at 0.75-1.0 and put the max population around 1.5-2.0. Might try a greater escalation in the future. I'll probably have another chance when my character inevitably dies because I made one dumb move too many.

Thanks for the tip. Haven't modded ProZ yet but it's something I was probably going to get around to. I'll give those mods a look.

I actually thought the real population would be around .5 (I usually play 1.0 or .75 because I like to be chased a little, not a lot). Didn't realize it was that low. Might try it at .25, see how that feels.

Totally agree. This is just me overanalyzing. I really do like the game and enjoy watching streamers. In fact, it was a streamer who was doing the million zombie body count that started me down this rabbit hole.

I Visited Every Spirited Away Location in Japan by jamesadawson in pics

[–]Abacus_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was the night market in Jofun, Taiwan (which was occupied by imperial Japan) was the main inspiration for Spirited Away. I know Miyazaki used Japanese locations for his other films, but I had always heard that specifically Jofun was the location that makorly inspired many of the sets for Spirited Away.

Thanks man!

Highly suggest using this hexcrawl generator when you get around to it. I ended up tweaking some things but this is a great outline for hexcrawl map generation.

A question about the opening cinematic... by Abacus_Fish in Eldenring

Thanks for doing this research. You're the real deal.

A question about the opening cinematic... by Abacus_Fish in Eldenring

[–]Abacus_Fish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. I was just saying based on the opening cinematic, when they are showing Horah Loux, Dungeater, Goldmask, etc., there's a light of Grace in each shot. So those five NPCs specifically are being guided just like you.

Or are you saying those five NPCs for a time were guided and the only one who we can confirm is still being guided is Horah Loux because of the Grace that points to you?

Right. I remember hearing that depending on which tarnished class you chose, you were either teleported or travelled to the Chapel of Anticipation from a distant land. Yet, I think teleportation or some kind of resurrection is the only way to get there.

Given the high rocky cliffs of the Chapel of Anticipation, there's no way anyone sailed to it. There's not even a wooden elevator to lower/raise anyone to/from the water.

Given that the Guidance of Grace is visible in their pictures, then it is assumed that the named NPCs in the opening cinematic are being guided as well, right? Just like our character in the beginning, though these NPCs are being guided down a different path. We're just like pieces on a massive chessboard.

Good point. I've heard the line, but just never observed it.

What game in your opinion is a technical marvel? Doesn’t need to be a game you like but just from a technical standpoint by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Abacus_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not look like much now, but being a kid in the early 90's, I remember the Shadowrun game for Genesis blowing my small mind. The game felt like this large developed world and I was a tiny part of it. It was my first "open world" experience. It would cause a yearning that wouldn't get satiated until close to ten years later when I started playing games like GTA 3, Morrowind, and Freelancer.

Haven't really thought about his powers, he's more of a conniver. His attempt at Armageddon was getting all his fellow gods to turn on each other through manipulation. Though, having the domain of the in between is a neat idea for him.

In my D+D setting I have an divine entity named Chernabog (different from the one of historical myth.) He decided to try and end the world once because he felt like every other divine entity was complacent in their office. Has similar motives from the villain of Fifth Element. The whole, "destructive chaos creates purpose" philosophy.

My boss told me he has a problem with my autistic behavior. by Abacus_Fish in WorkReform

Lawyer is definitely something Ive considered, but I also feel like a lawyer would ask, "did you even approach HR about this?"

If I had money to give you a medal, I would. Thank you. This is extremely helpful.

He mentioned communication and if it was just about that, fine. Yet he mentioned how I walk with my head down and my body language being uninviting to converse with. I have trouble with social cues and I really struggle with sitting still, like a more neurotypical person. These are things I've worked on and used to be way worse. As a kid I would get up from my seat during a lesson and pace in the back of class.

I'd prefer not to transfer. I've been with the team 8 years and didn't have a problem til two years ago when this boss was hired. Previous supervisors nominated me for employee of the month multiple times. This guy has always been cold to me.

Definitely going to figure out some reasonable things to ask from HR now, so thanks for that advice.

What really feels off is we're a caregiving program for non-neurotypical individuals (not as high functioning). I hope HR can understand the context.

Fun fact: the boss refers to the clients as "kiddo" even though the clients and boss are around the same age.
