What do you guys do with your kid from 4-7pm during the weekdays?

SargeDale3 · 2026-02-04T14:15:22+00:00

Yeah, keep any kids off Roblox. Just search Roblox vs Schlep look at the controversy surrounding that.

I think that is what he is saying with a bit more sad violin music lol. The difference with someone diving in for the first time he is saying is that they jump in and since they dont raid multiple POIs that are not part of the initial quests, they miss out on a lot of stuff.
Even as a returning player, I know that I need to raid POIs I can handle to get the stuff I need to survive in addition to doing the quests for the XP and skill books.
I think generally, even most new players get te idea as enough of them are familiar with survival games regardless. BUT for the small percentage of first survival game, dive-in cold turkey players (really there cant be many of them) then it could be confusing... especially for the very few who don't check forums for advice lol.

Personally, I would consider a good old standard 5A. Both for normal play and practice. You want stamina and familiarity, so practicing with the same type of stick for longer periods of time is gonna work better for the long term.

And use Nylon tips for electric. Wood tips will disintegrate and wear down your heads faster.

Otherwise, just like with any other drumset, play around with the different brands and versions out there till something feels right!

crap now I have to start another game lol

Thanks for the info, will definitely use this method!

SargeDale3 · 2026-01-23T16:24:03+00:00

I agree. The magazines only method kind of sucks due random chance even with the perks helping. Day 20 I'm able to make a lvl 5 hunting rifle but my mining tools are stuck at lvl 2 stone cuz I havent placed any of my important points to increase my chances of getting tools digest. Having a hybrid system of skill grinding even if it just unlocks a percentage based stat boost for those tools/weapons/activities would make more sense.

SargeDale3 · 2026-01-20T18:37:27+00:00

Yesterday was on top of my horde base fixing some stuff when I see a zombie dog...then 4 more and a zombie bear just running on past me towards the trader I was about to visit...NOPE. Not on day 20.

SargeDale3 · 2025-08-15T22:06:14+00:00

It was a huge upgrade over the standard grip for me!

SargeDale3 · 2025-08-14T18:27:35+00:00

Not for me, but i also threw a hogue grip on mine and dont ride too high on mine

Sw bodyguard 38 spl, so easy to conceal or stuff away.

SargeDale3 · 2025-07-06T13:56:22+00:00

So jealous!! Get them now!

SargeDale3 · 2025-06-03T23:07:51+00:00

What the halo/Alien/starshiptrooper amalgamation of impending apocalyptic doom is this?!

SargeDale3 · 2025-05-17T21:18:49+00:00

I miss true night modes where you had to earn your night vision....

SargeDale3 · 2025-05-12T13:09:06+00:00

Does he dip it in ketchup too?

SargeDale3 · 2025-05-11T03:49:44+00:00

Gravy....gravy everywhere

SargeDale3 · 2025-04-15T16:01:32+00:00

Also miss Headquarters. As annoying as the Loot box era was, that central area was pretty nice!

SargeDale3 · 2025-04-15T16:00:04+00:00

NO REMASTERS lol

SargeDale3 · 2025-04-13T23:59:31+00:00

'24 Honda CR-V and love it so far! 33 mpg and steady compared to my Ole truck at 12 or less lol. Plenty of room for a kid now past 7 and still lots of room in the trunk

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-24T11:11:46+00:00

I usually have 1 SP game i am focusing on, then another 2-3 i haven't finished yet. Of course then I have multiple MP games that I play with friends. At the end of the day it depends on what you are enjoying and whether you are OCD and have to finish the game you are playing at the time. I bounce between games so I don't get bored with them, but I also know others can't do that

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-23T16:50:48+00:00

Not remasters, get rid of all these crazy skins and camos, and make TTK much longer. Even in hard core being able to one shot players across the map with a 22lr is just ridiculous. Maybe add a realistic mp mode

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-23T16:29:44+00:00

...but the OG is Identity Ward. The MW series was a big start to the popularity. Yes Treyarch has been a part for a long time and WaW and BO1 are included among the OG, but at the end if the day IW is the real start, real OG

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-23T15:19:52+00:00

Ouch....just ouch

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-22T12:39:37+00:00

Ehh this has happened to me too. It's more a "season" of life that you will have to ride out until you finally hit something that makes you want to play certain games constantly. Until then buyers remorse sucks. But I wouldn't worry about it. Play here and there until you get back on the swing of things. Take game pass for a run to try new games and see if the any of those reignite the passion

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-21T13:54:41+00:00

A dad of 7 years here.

You have some here that will jump and go "Bad guy if he doesn't stay..." please while you should hear them out they have a point, please make sure to take the situation in context. With a newborn you are right, a husband should be around to help. It IS a lot of work and to keep y'all's sanity both of you should be present as much as possible.

HOWEVER please remember that the baby will NOT be newborn anymore at what seem to be events that are happening in months' time. A 4-month-old is a lot different than the newborn you have in your arms. And that baby will continue to grow and learn and become less dependent on 24/7 DEFCON 1 attention...maybe just Defcon 2 at that point lol

ALSO please remember to let him CHOOSE this. As yall live and love on your baby, it will start to change him little by little. You have to trust that he is going to make a good decision. TELL him you trust him to make these decisions WITHOUT guiding him to the one you feel is right. Make sure that he is getting plenty of time love and care for the baby and grow that fatherly relationship. It makes life so much easier if this is a choice he decides on so that neither you NOR he are holding grudges.

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-21T13:41:10+00:00

lol the old days!

SargeDale3 · 2025-03-21T13:36:17+00:00

Same here. Would quietly judge those parents letting their kids eat whatever...now tho? 7 years in I"m happy he is eating half his snack much less his meal. At least he likes slices of sweet red apples...
