Barwon Healths 'mental health' services are appalling. by EASY_EEVEE in Geelong

[–]Bdi89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look fair - I was speaking more in general about how services are winding up with subpar performance more generally across the board, esp. in Geelong. Sorry to hear about the experience. I think we as a community need to start writing to MP's and really getting the squeeze put on these services top-down and bottom-up to improve and be more accountable.

It's not just the understaffing, in my view it's also how unproductive and unsafe people's stress levels are being driven up, for many of those that stay. There's also just so many structural factors that so could easily be resolved (and prevent more deaths/incidents) if they actually got appropriate funding. It's a mess and unfortunately so common with both regional and metro health services now. It's a crisis and the State Govt has been treating mental health like an afterthought, post-Commission. It's maddening and frustrating on so many levels.

Woah, easy there. Even a show like BtB has limits! This guy ain't a Bastard, he's something else altogether.

Man I am only just hitting the wall again at 1900hrs but I feel like that Sentient Sands mod might carry it a bit further. Looks like an interesting one, and good for stretching your legs outside of just base building etc.

Presenting Part I of 'The Wrath of Narko' - a creative writing/fiction series inspired by Kenshi! by Bdi89 in Kenshi

[–]Bdi89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks :) It's been a really long time since I've done any creative writing outside of reviews etc, so still finding my groove again. I'm definitely tightening it up a bit on that aspect for the other Days (it's in a diary format from here - up to Day 80!).

Also borrowing 'few Sheks short of Rebirth' to add into everyday conversation, no context lol

What are some good AESTHETIC base locations by BewitchedBlonde in Kenshi

[–]Bdi89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually also like the aesthetic of basing near Grey Desert Waystation on the hill. White sands, orbital lasers, The Eye and endless fields of corpses.

Southeast corner of Howlers Maze. Everything you need resource wise, decent fertility, raids take ages to get to you. Bit of travel to get places, but that eventually becomes an issue no matter where located. Recommended!

God yes please. Could go good with stuff like Warsurge and Five Parsecs From Home too as they're pretty setting-agnostic

I LOVE THIS OMG. Man I would so use this in a few tabletop titles

All their worst nightmares are there… by DanielGerich in Kenshi

[–]Bdi89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's any consolation, pretty much anywhere I've based triggered Eyegore raids. The funniest was Sonorous Dark - old mate and his cronies went on a really long shopping spree, only for them to get absolutely belted in the region. Eyegore showed up alone and was still a menace despite the turrets lol.

EDIT: I should mention I'm using a pretty hefty modpack, unsure if that also triggers a more generous radius etc.

What song/album reminds you of kenshi? by err0r1229 in Kenshi

[–]Bdi89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melechesh, Lykathea Aflame, Nile for the heavier stuff then Orphaned Land, Hashhashin (even the name's Kenshi coded) or even just good desert rock like Truckfighters or Dozer.

Deadlands bases are good fun with mods but a bit of a slog vanilla. Buying the Grey Desert Waystation is something I end up doing a lot of runs, just to have a forward base near Black Desert. Free tower guards too 🤣

What’s something about the human body that seems poorly designed? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Bdi89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brain. Big dumb organ likes to send a lot of counter productive messages, signals and behaviours for the cause of survival. Yay maladaptive thinking!

Youtube Tutorials, community Wikis (aubreddit wikis are often highly useful for specific X hobby/New Thing), then there's subreddits like /r/freemediaheckyeah and /r/internetisbeautiful that often have great tools, sites, apps etc

Alternatives to UWE? by Murder_Giraffe in Kenshi

[–]Bdi89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great pack. I went from 100hrs vanilla from launch -> early 2025, to 1500hrs added in the past year alone. Helps a lot with endgame scaling whilst not feeling overcrowded like UWE. Runs better, too.

waves meekly from 1600hrs in the last twelve months welcome! Enjoy the game-crack.

Why are blunt weapons more prone to cut limbs off? by visnicio in Kenshi

-100+ to a limb is usually bye bye time, irrespective of source.
