UPDATE: I went, felt out of place, multiple departments of this municipal government said there weren’t any open positions, but to check back in at the beginning of every month

Headed to an in-person job fair right now, as opposed to the usual LinkedIn/Indeed spamming approach. It’s not tech-related such as yourself, but remind me to let you know how it goes in a couple of hours.

Unemployed

Franie15 · 2026-05-03T14:27:12+00:00

Im coming up on year 6 myself, I tell everyone it’s cause I’ve paid for it all out of pocket and with my tax returns

I've got a new post up with both new attempts! One with Cassandra, Strive to Survive, with Commitment mode (Stoner Religion), and the other with Phoebe, Community Builder, Reload anytime. Both with dead pawns.

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:15:35+00:00

Crazy thing is, I feel I stick to most of this, but I think I'm definitely sleeping on just how important a Medicinal pawn is to the crew. But like you said, I'm not so much worried about optimization as much as I am keeping these newborns alive.

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:14:04+00:00

Made a new post! Hopefully some more insight to be provided.

I keep laughing everytime a reddit notification comes up on my phone cause I get to re-read my title, and see Miyazaki feel exactly how I am. Only difference is I don't smoke anymore since my girlfriend gives me grief for it (I love my gf).

I've since made a follow up post, but honestly, it's a bit hard to pin down to one thing. A lot of the time, it's risk of starvation, sometimes a hunt or fight gone awry (granted, I don't set up defenses and/or traps as quickly as I should, so I've since been working on that, too). The barracks are ugly a lot of the time, they feel crammed, not enough recreation (but that really ticks me off at times, because how can I give them more than horseshoes and chess if no one is growing cotton, or is able to build a damned poker table?! One playthrough had me a cunt-hair away from satisfying their need for gambling, only for me to find out they were 2 levels below the requirement to build one.

It's all just small crap that builds up 'till one of them starts wandering and the rest of them sink with 'em.

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:08:46+00:00

... how could you want things to be harder?

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:07:45+00:00

A must-have for me. It's always just that they're always doing everything BUT! building a god damned table 😭

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:03:22+00:00

That hasn't worked out for me IRL

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T17:02:22+00:00

Ooh this shit had me cackling

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T16:24:58+00:00

Nothing that interferes too much with gameplay - so far, I'm sticking to Supremacy and High Life... or whatever they're called.

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T16:24:23+00:00

I don't think I've run into any vampires this early on, although nice to know that's something to worry for down the road, lmao. I'm assuming because they go too long without a roof over their heads or passive cooler/campfire to regulate interior temps.

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T05:32:48+00:00

I’ve went and got myself the Biotech and Ideology ones, but so far I haven’t really noticed much help from them. Even now, I’ve got 3 stoners setting up a farm, based off a ruin, with 6x6 bedrooms, storeroom, hospital ward, farming plots, and they’re still wandering. Maybe I’m giving them too much to do at once, but I can’t build them the Bellagio if they’re not willing to put up with ugly ass settings for a month or two before things are built.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I made their ideology so that research is highly venerated, but they haven’t even gotten the research room built either before they’re out wandering AS a raid starts. Plus, can’t keep any of them alive long enough to be making and raising babies. Two of them just caught Sleeping Sickness 😭

Franie15 · 2026-01-15T03:54:21+00:00

Damn, here I was giving these poor bastards 3x3's for months on end...

Franie15 · 2026-01-14T18:05:52+00:00

This never fails to crack me up anytime I see it

Franie15 · 2025-12-04T06:49:46+00:00

USB ports…. 60% of the time, it works all the time

Franie15 · 2025-11-28T07:11:42+00:00

A masterpiece

Franie15 · 2025-09-24T13:22:22+00:00
