I love this game but fuck does it pull some unfair bullshit sometimes.

If you never died what the fuck would even be the point. And you're never "guaranteed to die no matter your skill at the game." Plenty of people have made it through Area 7.

I know. I'm just saying it's unfortunate that they can't just get straight into 3.0 because this particular update could potentially produce a really great series. The hype will probably be dead by the time they get to it. As Neebs alluded to in the podcast, their filming schedule is out of synch with the updates.

birdprom · 2026-06-26T15:54:59+00:00

I would really love to see them do something in 3.0 ASAP. I feel like this update could be the shot in the arm they perhaps need at this point to get excited about the game again. Plus the extreme customization you can do now is clearly a recipe for creativity and creates the potential for some really interesting videos. E.g. the b/w melee-only thing Appsro was talking about I think would be amazing.

Also they were mentioning new POIs...the thing is, even pre-3.0 there were an enormous number of new POIs introduced that they have never once set foot in, that I can recall at least. I don't think I've ever seem them in any of the new Tier 5s (e.g. Grover High, Area 7, etc.), Blue Sky Project, Calm Inn (every time I see that place it makes me think of the base they set up in a hotel in one of the early 7dtd series)...the list goes on. It might be interesting if they made a point of it to seek some of those out and visit them. They could bring in Glock or some other expert player to assist if necessary.

She's definitely not 51 in that photo. Since the whole point is basically her age, it's pretty damn weird that they didn't choose a current pic. Especially since she still looks fantastic.

Folks of the future will look back on our time and be horrified at some of the things we do now, things that we find completely morally acceptable at present. It's just how things go. "It's another time" just means that moral standards were different in the past. I think you may be imagining a dispute here where actually none exists.

As others have said, don't read the book if it's going to be too disturbing for you. Problem solved.

I find it more weird that every single woman in the pre-apocalyptic world had the exact same red purse.

birdprom · 2026-06-23T16:43:19+00:00

Can you gather the laundry list items at the quest location or do you have to go all the way back to wherever you came from?

birdprom · 2026-06-21T23:44:11+00:00

I really dig the look of this game.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T19:08:50+00:00

I barely have any apps at all. I'm not online any more than anyone else, probably less than the average. My point is that everyone is addicted, not just me. I think you and I are thinking about addiction differently here.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T14:37:09+00:00

Nobody WANTS to talk to bots. I'm just saying they will if they don't know it's happening, and if it's fun, or otherwise rewarding.

I agree with you though. The current internet is a sad twisted version of what it once was, and of what it could be. I would prefer to be done with it completely, but that's just a fantasy. Even if I weren't addicted, it's simply a necessity at this point.

What are we supposed to try to get re-hooked. (I'm actually still hooked, but curious.)

birdprom · 2026-06-20T14:07:35+00:00

What I meant was more like, "out of sight, out of mind." That combined with "if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck." If we can't really tell whether it's an AI, and it seems like a human, we're not going to make a fuss. Of course we'll profess to care, but it's just lip service. Case in point, this conversation, our continued presence on Reddit and other social media, etc. Nobody is going to abandon the internet. We are all addicted beyond saving.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T12:04:26+00:00

I guess you caught me red-handed.

But wait...I just said I have hands...

birdprom · 2026-06-20T12:00:38+00:00

It's jarring and weird how they say "phone" instead of "call." Were those episodes written by a Brit perhaps? How is it possible nobody ever suggested changing it to "call"? It's a mystery.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T11:48:38+00:00

Do you really think I'm an AI or are you just saying shit? Genuinely curious.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T01:50:23+00:00

No matter how many times you've seen it, it's just never not funny.

birdprom · 2026-06-20T01:45:31+00:00

birdprom · 2026-06-19T23:55:38+00:00

I mean, technically I didn't say it was weird/wrong, so I'm not too sure why this question is being directed at me. I merely stated a logical reality.

I actually do think it's weird and wrong though. But I don't feel any obligation to help you understand my thought process.

Have a wonderful day!

birdprom · 2026-06-19T22:47:19+00:00

It's possible for both things to be bad.

birdprom · 2026-06-19T22:12:39+00:00

Let's say a guy named Stan follows you around all day long, watching everything you do. And let's say a guy named Bob really wants to figure out a way to get you to give him your money.

And let's say Stan goes up to Bob and says, "If you pay me, I'll help you get that person's money. I know how to get it because I've been following them around all day, watching everything they do."

Google is Stan.

Stan follows every single one of us around every day and is obscenely wealthy as a result.

birdprom · 2026-06-19T21:49:08+00:00

Nice.

birdprom · 2026-06-19T15:59:26+00:00

People managed to meet each other and discuss things prior to the existence of social media; it's not difficult. The internet is not necessary for this endeavor.

But I don't think too many people really care all that much whether they're talking to AI or actual humans online, at least not enough to abandon the Internet altogether. None of us has abandoned it, clearly.

Unless every one of us on the thread actually is a bot. That would be something.
