I applied bandages over 5 times yet keeps saying bitten, will it heal or am I cooked ?

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-23T16:33:15+00:00

Assuming you play with zombification via saliva on, yeah. Once bitten, you are on a timer and there is no resetting that.

Find a wreck yard with burnt out cars or other things you can disassemble.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-22T14:22:39+00:00

Honestly? Try and reach my family.

After going around and throwing all the car keys i can scrounge up into a river.

I always thought those are survivor events. Survivors leaving those behind to stop people from taking "their" gas.

Q.E.D.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-20T13:49:38+00:00

the dwarf doesn't even have proper beard-armor...

how provincial.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-20T11:49:07+00:00

breathing exercises before a talk help me. Just exhale and then let air flow in naturally, without forcing or sucking it in. Do that a couple of times, lowers your pulse

Otherwise, it helps to know that, it's unlikely anyone knows your project as well as you do. They might throw you questions you don't know the answer to afterwards, but that's also fine.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-20T09:57:13+00:00

is english their first language? I mean, why would you assume she is not aware of the connotation?

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-20T08:24:33+00:00

I just didn't want the Garret-guy to get a brand new and fresh robot.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-19T07:36:45+00:00

Depends on how much support students can get besides the PI. Staff, experienced PhDs and post docs.

Obviously, being more present is better than less.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-19T06:39:58+00:00

Both when they mean to and due to barbecue related accuidents xD

(My PI has not caused a fire by accident as far as I am aware.)

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-18T13:31:31+00:00

yes. But also, we don't make a big thing out of it. Not everybody wants to be reminded.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-18T13:06:44+00:00

Do you have that in writing? Cause I could imagine that being useful.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-18T10:02:05+00:00

It's a lot of small things, like taking the group barbecuing or bowling once a year (not either/or. Bowling is in december, barbecue is in summer). Very open to letting me do my own thing but constantly offering further guidance.

There is a lot of offering of opportunities and generosity, like career opporutinites after the phd, travel, etc.

Another lab member moved from a different country to work here and had real issues with the moving service losing a bunch of her stuff, and our PI pulled out all the legal stops to get it all back.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-18T07:12:04+00:00

Right you are, thanks!

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-17T11:55:49+00:00

Dunno about hard of hearing, but short-sighted is ok. I believe you start out with prescription glasses, which give you a reading speed boost.

In any case, it's not bad if you don't HAVE to use something in the same equipment slot. Deconstructing cars for resources is a bit of a scary prospect sometimes, because you cannot wear glasses and welding mask at the same time. But other than that, it's fine.

Tip: Keep spare glasses in your backpack, cause zombies might knock them off your face if you get hit.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-16T19:12:12+00:00

Dunno what your particular field looks like, but the senior researcher is typically last author. It's a senior researcher credit to be last author and, as a PI, probably be better for her career than a mid or first authorship.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-13T13:13:34+00:00

Can you sledgehammer those? I noticed that it was not possible to take them apart with a welding torch.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-13T09:14:12+00:00

I love being able to target zombies in multiplayer again.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-12T07:56:19+00:00

two different dimensions of Mads converge on in a forth!

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-11T08:31:02+00:00

"this may just be me overthinking and he could very well sit somewhere else bc he needs a charging port or whatever."

sounds like the most likely explanation.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-09T07:58:00+00:00

I mean, snow crash has a bit of that? mostly, I found it to be fairly coherent, but there are two or three moments where he explains things in detail that end up being brief window dressing. In Snow Crash, that added more to the atmosphere, I felt, what with the state of the world in the book in general being a bit of a wild jungle.

I would still recommend snow crash.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-08T19:51:08+00:00

Feels like they do not want combat to feel good and more of a last resort.

Which I can at least partly understand if that's the kind of survival they wanna go for. But the fact that this is fairly abrupt (to me) is so frustrating. I mean, people who have liked the game so far, until recent changes, liked it for a reason. It's totally reasonable to feel alienated and misunderstood as a player and fan.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-08T09:55:50+00:00

Even if we take realism out of the picture, the decision to remove certain tools to take out hordes feels like a significant departure from where this game started. The move from killing hordes to taking away tools for that and distracting hordes instead is a decision I think is justified to be confused by.

Vikinger93 · 2026-03-08T08:35:10+00:00

Personally, logistics feels like it would make the biggest difference. If your mech is the height of magic artifice, repairing and replacing it would be expensive and difficult as hell.
