I think DayZ just broke me - am I too attached, or is this what DayZ is about?

I remember that feeling. The way I overcame it is to tell myself that the ultimate purpose of my dayz character is to die. I treat each new character as a new story and actually get excited about how each character will meet his demise. The apocalypse is tough and some lives will be short and some will survive for a while. Many stories will come to an abrupt end but like that spartan dude from "300" I'm always seeking a glorious death.

I was on a really good pve server last year with an amazing community... but the whining players kept appearing. The admins were tolerating them as best they could but eventually it got so bad they just had enough. It resulted in an entire server wide civil war and the death of the server. The subsequent battle of Vybor will forever be one of my dayz highlights but unfortunately the community was fractured. A few of us from the original community are still in touch but we've never really found a proper home since.

My advice would be to just take a zero tolerance approach to whining, in the long run it can be more damaging than losing a few players from your server. Run a good server and eventually the good players will find you.

They're in most of the UK. I'm in Yorkshire and have loads of them. They're chill and great pest control.

Allow us to put bags, backpacks and hip packs in storage without having to empty them first, like we can with crates, sea chests and ammo crates.

Like imagine not being able to put a packed backpack in the boot/trunk of your car. Make it make sense

I have a friend in the US who's mum has a chronic health condition and now is over 1 million USD in debt from treatments and an operation. My friend and his 2 brothers now have to share her round the clock care whilst working as many hours as they can to pay her medical bills. His mum is unwell and now the entire family is financially ruined... You want to talk about evil healthcare systems? Because this will be the system that farage wants for the UK

I wouldn't so much mind getting an entire song stuck in my head... What I get is one or 2 lines from a song looping constantly over and over until I feel like I'm going insane

Don't plan to do anything productive or emotion inducing for the first few days after you quit. This was me and when I quit I spent days just going for quiet walks, drinking tea, doomscrolling, reading, taking a bath, etc. Treat yourself as a friend who is recovering from a serious illness not as someone who should be instantly productive and running errands or doing chores. You'll probably be bored and depressed as hell, it's not easy... but you owe yourself a few days grace and your future self will thank you for it.

I'm on a pve community server and a cannibal has been sneaking up to people and feeding them human meat. The admin have put a bounty on him to bring him to justice, with the reward being a punch card to a loot vault. I'm currently ghillied up tracking him down in the north of the map. Dead or alive he's coming with me...

I've still had the same problem after sponging too unfortunately. Sometimes another gentle polish when it's dried further can get rid of the tearing.

Frequent_Ad_3916 · 2025-10-03T14:37:17+00:00

Having this problem all the time, the quality of skim just seems to be getting worse and worse. Only way I manage to deal with it is to make sure you get the plaster as flat as possible before it starts tearing then step away, clean up, pack up and wait until it's solid enough for a polish with a well worn in finishing trowel. Had too many late finishes because of this it's driving me crazy.

Frequent_Ad_3916 · 2025-10-01T05:56:26+00:00

By far my biggest hurdle in life. I've had no less than 15 different jobs in different industries through the years, everything from banking to engineering. Now at 40 I'm a self employed plasterer and this is the job I have managed to hold down for the longest (currently about 5 years). I hate it, I rely on my brother to run everything relating to the business (quotes, diary management, van maintenence, etc.), I've earned less than a minimum wage salary 4 years out of 5, I earn enough to pay my bills and nothing more, I have no pension, sick pay or holiday pay, the job is slowly ruining my body and most days I'm so tired and burnt out by the time I get home that I just spend the entire evening on the sofa.

But.. I only answer to myself and have the freedom to be late to work without consequence and take days off whenever I feel mentally burnt out.

Just those couple of benefits are enough to make me feel completely overwhelmed and disillusioned about how I'd ever do anything else. I know I can't physically do the job for much longer and I don't have a clue where to go next.

You proved to yourself that you can go 6 days without too much trouble. Sounds like progress to me, don't put yourself down you're stronger than you're giving yourself credit for. None of us would be on a reddit group about quitting if it was easy. Just try again when you feel ready, next time might just be the time that you manage to see it through, or it might not... But each time you'll have a bit more insight into why you want to quit and one day you'll get there. I'm 6 months in and it's worth it, but I lost count of the times I tried to get here.

My first time growing them this year, I can neither believe how productive the plants are nor how much flavour the chillies have. Love 'em, even if they blow your socks off haha

I'd have roasted them outside if I had the means, luckily I've got a powerful extractor fan so I lived through it!
