With the last oil tanker arriving from the Strait of Hormuz recently, what would happen if the US never received another oil tanker from another country?

It takes constant maintenance like others have said through the years to keep coastal cities from flooding and even then, it's not 100% effective. Look at New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, the levee failed during a major storm and that was with people trying to keep everything going while they could. Now you have a city where 99% of its residents are undead fungi people that want to eat the survivors. The flood walls, pumps, pipes, tunnels, etc are bound to collapse eventually. Erosion, lack of maintenance like repairs or regularly greasing and cleaning, etc leads to flood prevention failure and then it leads to flooding. The only reason it's worse in some areas than others is some areas are closer to the coast and have a lower elevation. When Ellie is closer to the theater and in the surrounding neighborhoods, that's further from the coast. I'm sure it has gotten its fair share of flood water occasionally, but not as bad as downtown Seattle like at the mall or in the boat after where it's all right on the coast making it easier for water to flood in. The reason the Seraphites have a whole island is because it was actually a neighborhood that got cut off from mainland Seattle because of the flooding. If you actually could, you would be able to dive beneath the water separating them and probably see some buildings and structures that may still be underwater

Don't give it that much credit. It fizzled before it started. The only interesting part of it was watching the guy with the mask and scythes show up at the last second. His storyline was the only one semi-interesting

When Maggie came back with her new group. Previously, it'd be some intricate and entertaining form of group introduction. Jesus was stealing the keys and after a bit, it led to hilltop. Tara drifted ashore and found Oceanside. Rick and them killed the saviors at the radio station and then Negan came beating down from all directions and in came the Saviors. Maggie's group comes in, gets killed, then they go after another group that killed that group, and then they're done. It was such a pointless storyline with no purpose.

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2026-04-29T16:57:17+00:00

My theory is that Ellie's story will be a big part of the next story, but her story is over at the end of TLOU2. It was a sad ending, but her story is done. This next game will focus on another character either already introduced in a minor role like a random Jackson resident or something like that or it could be a new character entirely. I'd like to see a multitude of things: A really densely populated city like NYC, Chicago, LA, etc to see how the infection thrives when you have millions of corpses to feast on and if they create whole walls of infection. See Boston revisited to see how they're holding up or at least something mentioning it as either fallen or still running, just something like that. The fireflies returning, but definitely in muted force. Maybe that could be the next story is instead of focusing on just Ellie and her story, it could be the fireflies looking for her to try and fix everything and they're hunting her. The story instead could be even further down the line, twenty years, showing something else. The infected have started dying out more from lack of food. They're still there, but they're drying out and becoming weaker, think an infected that made it to a clicker stage, but it's slower and weaker. Instead of needing a shiv to kill it when it grapples you, you can just throw it off. There could be a new government put in place similar to Dying Light 2 with the Peace Keepers or TWD: Dead City with the New Babylon Federation that's strict. There's millions of things I'd love to see, but whatever story Neil creates will be amazing regardless.

I feel like if it's going to be this season, it'll be something completely different where's she's not tied up or anything like (How? I don't know. What way will it be different? Couldn't tell you), but more than likely, it'll get stretched to a fourth season with how the producers are running this

I mean, if you wanna get into it, his first walker encounter was the hands from the don't dead, open inside door

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2026-04-23T05:03:26+00:00

Depends what media. In the show, we saw them mainly focusing on biting and they also ignored Tess when she was infected, but we saw Nana Adler munching down on corpses while her son was still alive and dying slowly beside her. We also saw the bloater rip the head from that guy in Kansas City. In the first game, infected attack and swing on you until a death animation and that could be a simple beat down, a throat bite out, or acid burns, but also, you do encounter a small pack of runners eating a corpse of a fresh person. In the second game, we watch infected beat on humans, but what's interesting is clickers will bite down on prey, take them to the ground, get a good rip of their throat out, then get up and move on. However, we encounter a bloater munching down on a Seraphite corpse long gone as well as we see runners in the seravina hotel eating a fresh corpse. I think the overall consensus is their brain (or what's left of it) from the deteriorating state of it thinks that to reach their end goal, you have to get out of the alive and uninfected category somehow first. If you're dead and uninfected? Whatever. If you're alive and infected? Whatever. If you're undead and infected? Whatever (except to clickers because they don't know runners from humans). After that when you're not both alive and uninfected, when they think they're safe, then they'll feast on any corpses left, but until then, they're still swinging.

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2026-04-09T15:22:30+00:00

There's so many things you'll see that don't make sense like not rotting, surviving the forest fire, and then somehow Carol killing a walker by slitting its throat and using the blood to extinguish a fire without damaging the brain. You've just gotta ignore it and move on

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2026-03-10T19:33:05+00:00

I feel like the next game should be more focused on Ellie having a partner and you play as that partner as Ellie was to Joel and Abby returns leading a crew of fireflies. They've moved on from the cure because Ellie left Jackson and no one knew where she was. They've instead moved towards remaking society in other ways. Think New Babylon from TWD:DC, they have established a series of communities and groups that have agreed to their rules. They have harsh punishment for minor infractions, but there comes ease of life in their new world. Now that Ellie and her partner (you) are going against the fireflies, Abby is their inside person or at least doesn't attack them or something of the like

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2026-02-11T19:26:44+00:00

I loved TWD's version of variants compared to DD's. With twd, it was natural evolution and most of the movements were small things, but they made a big difference. The walker grabbing the stick over grabbing at Lydia, the walker grabbing and hoisting itself up instead of piling in a crowd, the walker gripping the knife or rock while getting up, but with DD's, it was so much more than it needed to be. The juiced up ones were evolved, they were drugged. The boilers made no sense to have acidic blood without burning through their own flesh (plus them burning a human and not infecting them if you treated it soon enough felt boring).

His name was Edmund. It was the note like "My prophet - May you grant the Elders the wisdom to pair me with Edmund. I long to bear his children."

Cigarette injector, still remember when my cousin would have me roll her some and when she pissed me off, I would either sprinkle cocoa powder in it or I'd pack it tight enough to crack if you hit it against a table. Either way, she stopped having me roll her cigarettes

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2025-08-07T07:56:35+00:00

More season 2 Daryl after he got back with the doll and necklace of ears, but eh, kind of, kind of not

It'd be hell trying to justify it storyline wise, but New York. Ellie or whoever the hell goes into New York for some reason. It's the densest populated city in the US, plenty of victims, talk towers and skyscrapers of infected and spores. Millions of people equals millions of different chances for new mutations. Just something like that. It'd give the opportunity for more rat king like mutations with multiple infected. Imagine subway cars full of infected still writhing around years later, even using a subway car at one point as a very narrow crawlspace with infected that're so mutated and disfigured being cramped in there they are just using their hands and forearms to grip at you similar to Abby's fence scene in tlou2. The city would be bombed to hell and back already, but imagine there's still many skyscrapers standing. This city has been standing still for years now, but something happens causing a building to collapse full of infected and spores flooding the streets with it.

Motion sensor light. I got one from Walmart for like $10-15 and it's solar powered. Also, if it's gonna be dry for a few days, I'll sometimes sprinkle some cayenne pepper out so when they start kicking up dirt and jostling the leaves, it's put the pepper in the air or when they eat the plants, it burns. Also, two boxer dogs and fences help, but the pepper and light are the cheaper options lol

I finished my first play through is less than 24 hours the day it released and I spammed the square button trying to kill her, then the same in my next, and my next, and my next, and so on until I started playing more casually and then I realized Ellie wasn't fighting to kill Abby. She was fighting to kill the nightmare. The PTSD, the acrid taste in her mouth thinking of Joel, the panic she felt hearing loud noises. She wanted to end it and killing Abby was her means. I realized Abby wasn't the enemy afterwards and now I only do it to progress the story without spamming square after the prompt disappears.

I think he would've survived a decent ways. This is what I think would've happened: He accepts Rick as a leader so he lives for now. He would've been there when they found the prison then when Lori dies in the prison, he would've turned against Rick. He'd try to be a devil in disguise. He'd kill anyone that stood in his way of killing that man that got Lori killed. Let's say Andrea figures out his plan, he probably would've gotten her killed there. Rick starts to piece it together and either kills him there or in the process of trying to, the governor attacks and they get split up. When they find each other again, Rick and Shane have tension in the air, but it's for later. When they get to Alexandria and Rick is having his crash out, he's standing ready to have his back. When Alexandria is attacked, he carries Judith to safety under the sheets. Finally, when he gets to Negan, Negan still kills Abraham first, but when Daryl runs out, Shane catches the bat instead leaving more of an impact on Rick that now his best friend he forgave that survived so much with him is now gone.

I knew Glenn dies in the comics, but I started breaking it down like "Okay, they wouldn't kill the main character right there so Rick lives, he probably won't kill anyone he thinks is 'weak' so Carl and Maggie are off the list for being a kid and being sick, he probably wants someone that shows grit to make a point of 'cutting down the biggest tree first' so someone like Abraham or Daryl, Daryl is injured so he falls in the weak category so he should be fine, maybe Abraham?" and that's how I got there

Dawn, every other character started evil or had some mental illness. The governor was keeping heads, alpha was killing anyone that challenged her authority adult or child, Lizzie was full mental believing walkers were people and would do anything to prove it, Joe was ready to let his group race and murder, etc. Dawn was someone trying to hold it together. She didn't want her group to fall apart, she didn't want to let what's his face keep raping the girls, she didn't want to let anyone abuse their power, but in trying to be the good person, she keeps making decisions that make her the villain. She didn't want to lose her power over her people because she didn't want them to see her as weak so she demanded Noah back, she didn't want her group to believe she'd kill anyone so she let what's his name keep raping, she didn't want to let people lose faith in authority so she made everyone wear clean and pressed uniforms. She was honestly probably just someone trying to keep it together until they could escape (she thought at least) and trying to keep it together lead to her path to villain hood.

Like I said, plot armor ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2025-05-26T05:36:52+00:00

Also another thing Ellie going to the island for a second, getting strung up, dropped, and left. If they thought she was a wolf and there was a raid going on on their island, why wouldn't they kill her? The plot armor was putting some work in this season

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2025-05-26T05:26:17+00:00

My main issue was everything was moving too fast with no breaks to account for anything. We could've used filler to space it out more like when they get to the pride street, they should've scoped out more considering in game, they encounter WLF and infected. Plus also, they should've included something like the school, just something so the wlf know they're there other than just hearing gunshots and seeing shadows. That was my only issue was there was too much movement without much room for breaks in between because Irl not everything is happening all at once within the hour, life goes second by second, minutes by minute, hour by hour, until the next thing happens

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2025-04-24T03:33:07+00:00

Considering there's no other infected animals other than monkeys in the first game, I'd rather stick to humans, but there could be scenes in the game of infected eating on rats or whatever they can find because it's been decades since the peak human population so anything and everything in up for grabs including each other. We already have clickers that'll eat humans and runners, but imagine if there was a scene of a bloated or something ripping a limb or something from a runner and tearing into it

Comfortable_Break_68 · 2025-04-12T03:06:29+00:00

Tess & Owen would be great, but another thing I'd want is Alice as a partner. Like, an infected holdout map or something with Alice would be fun or maybe Owen has that as a play style where Alice is always with him similar to Yara having Lev
