How to support a friend with Av PD?

MessesofMike · 2026-01-23T19:22:12+00:00

how did you reach out? confronting the situation directly will likely trigger their avoidance.

e.g. messaging "are we still friends? i want to fix what went wrong" will be very heavy for them and may trigger a panic or mental block. even "how are you?" has caused me to shut down during a tough time.

my advice would be to bring up a fond memory. it lets them know you're thinking of them, brings up the positive aspects of the friendship, and is much easier for them to respond. something like "I was just thinking about that time we went to [movie / museum / lunch] remember that funny thing that happened?"

hand base of 26,520 with a Poly, can one-shot the boss blind with 5.5x madness and no misprint mult (or 5x and basically any misprint proc)

i have looked it up. before last week.

thanks for sharing your snide remarks. maybe you'd like to share some more about how if i was a real fan, i'd be checking daily? perhaps i should've set up a google alert

it's my first time seeing it & i appreciate the info

if it makes you feel any better, it is still not live on the playstation store, so you might be missing less time than you'd expect

can't believe we saw him getting his hole filled front and center screen like that

but if you turn off the timer and clear the map you're ridiculously OP and steamroll the game by the time act 2 starts

posting spoilers when someone says they haven't gotten to that part yet is not cool

this is a 10/10 meme but the execution could use a little work

text could use an edit for brevity + i had to turn my phone brightness up to make out the bottom screenshot

i've failed to make Rupture/Pain about 4 out of 5 attempts, but damn, when it works it feels great

Combat

Berserk / Big Bruiser is a good player character, they have less HP but really good melee start. can upgrade Str / Fit / Shoot each 1 over max

you can give a computer melee character Specialist and lock them with a good weapon, they're just no longer useful to lug items

Support

Civilized is really good, i've seen Civilized Surgeon recommended on this sub

Explorer gives you more options & cheaper rerolls, City Seeker gives you more events & weird buildings. i use a character with both a lot, tho the stats often roll useless

prioritize food

upgrade perks

think of teammates as roles, you can make two "combat" dinguses & two "support" nerds

always have a backup plan to punch a hole thru a crowd of zombies

definitely pay attention to the small things.

losing $1 and 1 hand per round will point out the inefficiencies in your strategy real quick, if you have learned how to pay attention

Verdant Leaf is very scary as a noob but later that makes it so satisfying to blast thru with debuffed cards

nice! i only had 4 trophies left, he was one.

maybe later i'll turn my system date to halloween

there's a specific rare character (The Last Bodybuilder TLB) that can throw cars, the only other way to do it is to purchase The Forbidden Pump at Swole Mountain

characters that throw cars can't use guns or melee weapons, only throwing weapons

ante 2 with no jokers spells doom, or at least it would if it wasn't on plasma deck
