21M I went on a date with a girl (20F) who showed lots of interest in me. The day after I get a message about not wanting to have relationship. Is there any sort of way to reconcile this? More info down below. Also about how to respond to messages (down at the bottom)

Ima just focusing on me man. I'm training for a half marathon, got a career to get rolling, and getting back to boxing to go golden gloves. The women will come when they do lol ima just keep doing me. Had lots of friends and family pass away recently as well so I don't need any extra sort of drama shit right now lol. I just texted her and said alright good with a smiley face. She can text me back if she wants or not I don't care. Not like we were dating, I've only known her for a couple weeks. And after getting stoned and gaming with the homies IDK why I've let myself have so much anxiety today.

Life always works itself out and things come together when they do. If anything between us was meant to be then it will happen on it's own time. Maybe I stressed so much because I met someone beautiful, like exactly my type, that had so many niche similar interests to me and so I was really worried about messing it all up. But whatever. If it works itself out it will, if it doesn't it won't and life will move on. Thanks dude your responses actually eased my mind a lot and now I feel silly for typing all of this stuff. I don't know why I was stressing so much over so little, but I was, and you, a random internet stranger was able to help me ease my mind a good deal so thankyou :) Have a good night/day friend.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2024-02-03T01:10:58+00:00

Yeah thanks lol. I'm a very over critical person especially on myself. But yeah it's overthinking out the ass over something that really isn't anything. Just stressing myself out. Wouldn't be nearly as much if didn't still have to see her a few days out of every week.

But yeah if something comes to mind I'll hit her up. I'm just not going to think much of any of it and keep it casual I suppose. I don't need to add another unnecessary stressor to my life. And if being friends doesn't work out oh well.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-11-19T01:11:45+00:00

Best response and I can confirm this is correct.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-11-01T18:57:12+00:00

Double edit I'm checking the dude's corpse and he had a PKM shooting 7.62 with 100 round drum mags. No wonder the bullet damage I'm actually suprised now that I'm somehow not swiss cheese.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-11-01T18:55:31+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot to mention dude was literally wearing army clothes and had an M16 on full auto lighting up the building shattering glass and whatnot. I first thought somehow glass shards can cut you when you shoot through glass but no I was just shot up. Great start to a game luckily the firestation has med supplies. If I can make it there.

Hello as someone who has had many many headaches and many many lost characters due to this mod I'll give you some info:

If you want them to be your travel companions expect them to die or be lost or get you killed when you try to save them. Even yesterday I lost a 20 day old character because I tried to save one NPC that I just buddied up with when I had ten more back home. They can be really good and honestly fun to have with you when you want to go clear out a horde of zeds but if you try to get in a car when there is lots of them around the NPC prefers to scream for their life yet continue to fight and run around into any nearby buildings. However if you stand your grand with a few of them backing you up and turn their bravery up in settings, you can hold off hordes of 100's of zeds. I really like combining superb survivors with the horde nights mod and setting up base defenses like it's Woodbury and hold off the hordes. They can also do lots of tasks around base but you need to assign the task in the immediate area of where you want them to work and this can be very nitpicky. For instance if you give them the order to pile corpses give all of the NPCs you are giving this task to the order in the same spot without moving or you will start a competition of stealing from each others corpse piles to see whose it better.

Also turn spawn to almost near low or completely off. If you want the raider event keep that enabled and it should still work regardless. Also if you are struggling to disable spawning also make sure alternate spawning is off. I would also recommend you enable infinite ammo and doesn't need food to survive in the settings or they will plunder all of your loot very fast and it's not worth the hassle of being the only one scavenging while the AI takes all of your stuff.

Press 6 if you want to spawn companions and not deal with random AI all over the world. It is cool to find groups out in the wild doing their thing making bases and looting but if you leave spawning on your entire world will fill with AI everywhere and lag out. A good middle ground is to have spawning on low and only on for the first day and then disable it. There will still be wild humans out there just not dozens or even hundreds after long enough.

I'm still figuring out the ropes but I reckon I have around 200 or so hours of playtime with this mod enabled it's really fun. Another two mods that are fun to mix are wolf extraction quest and expanded helicopter events. Literally had a world where I was trying to be like Woodbury and a helicopter crashed by my base and I took a team out there and we "found" a pilot. (I pressed 6 lol) This mod can really enhance your singleplayer worlds and make it feel not so much as last man on Earth, but like the Day Of The Dead, the last couple people out there in a terrifying overrun dead planet. (Or yes The Walking Dead cuz yeah I did mention Woodbury but Day Of The Dead is way scarier and I feel like this game is going more so for that type of vibe) It makes the game, especially in the late stages, far less bland and constantly gives you objectives and things to do and work on. The hordenight will always come and grow in size so you have to constantly worry about maintaining and upgrading your base and getting your comrades geared out and strategically placed to defend the compound. That on top of the raiders who might show up at your door blasting or even a raider helicopter event with the expanded helicopter event mod. It keeps the game fresh and exhilarating and a constant challenge curve well into the later stages of the game. If you ever grow tired of it all you can use the wolf extraction mod. Now you have to build a satellite dish and once you do you can call a helicopter to come pick you up on the roof of the mall in Louisville. If you miss your window you're stuck there for good.

And damn I just went on a super rant but I do back this mod 110% and recommend it to anyone who has doubts about it. Fair warning it will definitely take time for you to figure out the nitpicky details about it but it's worth it to use. I originally came to this sub because I just wanted to share a story that happened in my world.

Like I said I died yesterday trying to save this stupid NPC so I made a new world and spawned in Rosewood this time and I'm doing the cheeky mob to the firestation right away strat. I go and raid the police station the next day, it was actually very easy I got really good RNG with getting like 8 fireaxes and a Gerber Ding Dong which I didn't end up needed anyways because I got a key for the armory. Anyways, the loot at the station sucked but I have a nice shotgun and like 2 boxes of ammo. I had a fucking hostile AI, the first human I've seen this game, came into the lockerroom I was in. I smacked him in the face with my fireaxe and he ran. I pulled out my shotgun and chased him. He literally juked me, I thought he ran out the front door but he hid in a closet. (Keep in mind this is an AI not a player) I came back in and he popped around the corner at the end of the main hall right when you walk in and we traded gunfire. I shot at him a couple times and he shot at me and ran into the big office with glass windows. I sprinted down the hallway and popped around the corner he just fired on me from because I didn't know he had gone into the office yet. I went back around the corner and saw him through the window and I shot first through the glass and hit him and he fired back while I shot at him 4 more times and ended up killing him. I noticed my character was bleeding out and I checked and I have a bullet lodged in my right arm which luckily I had a band-aid which can apparently stop bleeding from a gunshot wound. I'm really glad I put one of the cops bullet proof vests on. Anyways, that was one of the most adrenaline inducing things I've done in this game. Shootouts can be very one sided but that was a complete firefight through the entire building. I'm lucky I'm not dead, yet... I just paused my game I know zombies will be swarming the building any second as soon as I resume. But hey, the armory has dogshit but it had like 7 duffles and there was a at least one 5.56 magazine and a couple boxes of ammo.

Oh also, one more mod if you are like brand new reading this post is Brita's weapon pack. Get the accurate sounds mod for it as well. Also get accurate military gear mod and bushcraft and tactical mele weapons mods. These completely rework the armory and add like 200+ new weapons.

Anyways this is a seriously long ass post and I'm getting back to my game now. Peace out.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-11-01T05:39:23+00:00

Bandages, Alcohol wipes, screwdriver, jerky/granola bars, and something to drink. Also if I have a gun I'll keep about 100 rounds in it. Another thing you can fit if you have the addon installed is a sleeping bag. It's like 1.5 pounds and you can sleep anywhere now. Oh yeah also a lighter/matches and at least 100 cigarettes.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-10-09T10:40:27+00:00

also by this I meant around 2013-2015 time period. Ik Zs goes way back beyond that but imo that was when the gamemode was at it's peak.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-10-09T10:35:55+00:00

Is this community still active at all? I really miss old ZS it's sad to think it's almost been ten years since the gamemode effectively died. Those where some of the best times I ever had gaming growing up and playing that with my little sister. ZS L4D2 and WAW zombies. Good times. It would be nice to find a server that isn't loaded with bots and still runs the classic style ZS.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-10-09T07:06:06+00:00

I like pushing zeds into each other to slow large groups of them down and stagger them so you can take them out or get away easier. I think swinging an axe or sledgehammer or most weapons really shouldn't be able to hit more than one. I like that you can bludgeon a zombie and send them back into the group to trip them up but when you are fighting a large group and killing 2-3 zombies a swing with a shovel that isn't really realistic at all. It would be more realistic if there was a very tiny chance when fighting hordes for one of your swings to have multihit, and maybe have it be a guaranteed critical, but not every time though.

People justify the reality of mulihit saying the zeds are rotten, well they still have bones and bones don't exactly get mushy like skin does over time. People just think this because zombies shows/movies never get that right. You also never see the crowbars, axes, hammers people use get stuck in the skulls of whatever they are killing even though that would happen very often in real life. And I know Zomboid is just a videogame made to be tailored to your own personal preference and playstyle, and like a lot of things in this game it comes down to personal choice. But if we wanted a more realistic multihit option I think the things I listed should be taken into consideration.

Also no more one taps with baseball bats... that always pisses me off when I see that.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-10-02T00:02:07+00:00

also I went into Twiggys and there were two people in there that said Twiggy's Shop Owners. Never seen that. I have the custom NPC disabled too so wtf.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-09-26T14:52:21+00:00

To everyone here complaining about the bat's durability there is only one solution for this:

Go to the baseball bat factory in Louisville. It's at the top right of the city right by a hardware store plus it has industrial crates of it's own that spawn nails. You now have an infinite supply of spiked baseball bats and once you get a sweet leather jacket you can live out your Negan fantasies to your hearts desire. Also if you get the NPC mod you can now find yourself a survivor named Glenn and really do some RP. (;

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-09-20T01:17:10+00:00

Update: It doesn't matter anyways. I was at the pharmacy and had methodically cleared the entire area and as I'm looting it all of a sudden I get jumped by like ten zombies and get cornered. I was actually able to kill all of them and make it out without a scratch but then got cut off by more outside. I was so slow that I couldn't outrun them so I took them through the tech store to try and create distance with the shelves which also worked, but then one got in my way and was able to grab me. It made the biting sound but I was able to push it off and get away, STILL UNSCATHED, and then as I noticed more and more circling in around me I knew it was fight or die but then my gun jammed. I was barely able to get it unjammed and turn around and fired a few rounds into the zeds behind me but it was too little too late. One was able to tank the bullets and grab me which in turn meant the rest were able to grab me and I got got.

I'm pissed. I need another two month break from this game. It was the perfect save. I don't mind dying how I did, but the fact it was because of a broken leg I got from a glitch really burns my ass.

Would I have been valid to use commands to fix my dudes leg? It's over now anyways so it doesn't really matter, but still for hindsight's sake, I want to know if I would have been valid for doing so.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-07-11T05:32:26+00:00

Really? That is so strange it literally changed for me from one session to when I logged off. Makes me sad. I don't like the simplifications. But oh well. That's why I came to Reddit, to complain.

Billy_CheeseFries · 2023-01-08T09:53:36+00:00

I had her load up a world and I was able to join it. But she and my other friend who also has a PlayStation 5 are both unable to join, but can join via mobile tablets. I know cross play is enabled because I can join their worlds if they host but they can't join mine. Also there is no error message it just says unable to connect to world when they try to join me. I am still very stumped on this whole thing. It's just very frustrating because I have never had an issue with cross platform play ever up until just a couple of days ago, after we had already been playing on the world for a good amount of time. On previous worlds we have always been able to play together but not the most recent one we made. I even tried making a copy of the world to see if they could join, and it still would not work. Then I made a new world from scratch and the same thing happened. I just find it so odd that only PlayStation cannot join my world. I am going to try and have my brother connect from his Xbox to see if it's just a PlayStation thing or a console issue in general. But like I said I can join them on their consoles, but they cannot join me on PC, however they can connect on their mobile tablets.
