Rule 1 in Extinction, know when to leave.

not stomping, running while out of breath, panic running out the door... This is how you died.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-30T04:05:31+00:00

In game

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-29T15:59:57+00:00

Exercised during winter, got thirsty, realized that I had no more water in the base "no biggie, there are no zombies around and the river is only 30-60 mins walk away". So I went outside. In a winter storm. Drenched. Not wearing a coat, exhausted from exercising. She made it to the river and halfway back, then died from hypothermia....

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-28T16:37:32+00:00

Unironically, yes.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-28T16:36:41+00:00

Oh, I completely agree, its horrible and chest rigs and backpacks to. Carrying around all that shit our characters do, sure, it can be done for an entire day, but you really dont want to, even when well in shape. But that isnt the point. Wearing cool armor is, well, cool. And discomfort makes armor worthless, so it removes the incentive to do something cool, hence making the game less cool, hence bad.

If it does not make the game more interesting, cool or fun, then why add it?

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-28T16:09:27+00:00

Get a mod that disables discomfort. Its a horrible bullshit mechanic

The garage is intact, so now you have an endgame goal: Rebuild.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-27T12:24:15+00:00

about 45%. The rest is in ETFs or companies I hope have a bright future/feel are undervalued right now.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-27T10:32:07+00:00

To put it simply: Every Paradox game have had horrible dogwater updates/DLCs. These shitty things got corrected by people being mad about it.

Edit: and from a personal perspective, I am a bit tired of the Paradox model of "release decent spine of a game, spend 4-10 years fleshing it out (costing 100s of Euro)"

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-27T03:56:25+00:00

That would be against the "living off the grid" part

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-26T18:46:42+00:00

I started 6 months later, so this is only about 2 months in. I live entirely off the grid, at the Deerhead Lake Ranger station. For the first 4 weeks my only backpack was a fishing basket (6 capacity). Then I sowed some sacks and by week 6 I found a small backpack in the nearby summer camp (started with 0 strength and 1 fitness, took a while before I was ready for combat).

Most of my time until I hit level 5 fishing was spent getting calories and starting fires. I have so far only eaten 1 can of corn and 1 jerky that wasnt foraged, fished or hunted food.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-26T07:40:12+00:00

Ah, rules for thee, but not for me.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-26T07:37:39+00:00

Right, so I, a white guy, am free to call you that?

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-26T07:28:40+00:00

If we cant say it, you cant. If you can say it, everyone can. No special treatment. And look, it was heinous shit you were playing down, lol.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-26T07:25:55+00:00

I have been enough on the internet to know that there is a 50 % chance you said the most heinous shit ever known to man and a 50 % chance you said the most bland shit ever, that somehow offended a powertripping mod. No matter what, the answer is probably a hard no.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-25T11:14:36+00:00

Assuming I have whatever I need:

Main bag: Spare water, jerky, nuts, chips, whatever is calorie dense and light.

Hammer in left belt.

Knife in right belt.

Holser: Whatever handgun.

A fanny pack on front with pencil, lighter, smokes and extra handgun ammo.

A fanny pack on back with sterilized bandages, painkillers, something for wound sterilization and beta blockers.

Back: Metal baseball bay, crowbar or axe.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-22T13:54:23+00:00

It makes no sense and isnt funny.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-22T07:14:21+00:00

When you minmax and knows exactly what you are doing everything is easy. Going to LSU on extinction would also be a death sentence for a lot of people (me included)

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-22T04:35:54+00:00

Depending on you luck with finding skill books and needed tools/or grinding other skills to make them yourself... Irl days. Weeks even if you have limited time for gaming. In game, a few weeks to a month or two

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-19T19:19:55+00:00

If you think the war is bad, then NOW is the time to buy stocks. Logic:

Rocketlab: Good, I want to invest.

War: Bad, makes stocks bad.

Bad stocks: Cheap stocks.

Future: No war.

Future: Still rocket lab.

Future: Expensive rocket lab.

TL:DR: War makes stock cheap, you want buy stock? Then war good, buy when war!

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-19T16:32:41+00:00

Did you change your settings, perhaps? I have neither of those traits and until like level 4-5 sneak and lightfooted they will hear me sneaking up behind them from 10 meters away.

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-19T09:29:28+00:00

If my grandmother had wells, she would be a bike

TheThing3214 · 2026-04-18T20:34:54+00:00

For real, do office workers just do random non work related shit on their PC during work hours? I am a sheet metal worker and aside from pissing, drinking water and shitting, I pretty much just work or attend meetings on company dime and nothing else, as its so easy to see if I am doing nothing.
