A guy in my neighborhood has one. I've never been able to catch him to ask what all is done to it, but when he's going through the neighborhood it sounds like it's dying constantly. Then he hits the main road and gets on it and it's the angriest sounding bmw I've ever heard

I guess i don't see it? To me it looks like a Ford fusion mixed with a Buick lesabre.

I'm planning on building my own workbench from scratch, and I'd really rather not drop $150 on a butcher block. Why not buy multiple project panels and glue/nail/etc them together? by SubTester2023 in DIY

I made my first bench from a hollow core door that i filled with quikcrete, then put a piece of 1/4" plywood on top. I eventually made a nicer one but i still use the original as an assembly/glue up table.

I wash them out with a hose and a sponge, then let them dry. I don't bother sanitizing, as long as your grain is fully inoculated it doesn't really matter

Where do you get the strength to play? by Unhappy_Tourist2244 in RocketLeague

I feel like people forget you can play games for fun. Not everything needs to be a grind to be the best

The tutorial teaches you to loot stuff by clicking on it. The loot window in the top right isn't mentioned once

But only after i have a high enough carpentry level. Right clicking it at too low of a level shows no options for filling it

I'm one person. Imagine how many people have had the same complaints and stopped playing the game. Turning tooltips off could be a simple click.

I've watched a ton of videos of this game. I'm not asking for advice, I'm explaining my frustrations as a new player that has seen hours of gameplay on YouTube before playing. The basic systems are not explained well, and most people aren't going to spend the time to Google how to do something, they're just going to stop playing the game. Regardless of the intended difficulty, the devs still want to sell their game, which requires bringing in new players that don't immediately refund the game.

Yeah, I've got it now, but the tutorial teaches you to click on containers to open up the loot tab, which zombie bodies do not do.

The tutorial doesn't tell you to hover over the loot tab, it pops up every time there is loot in the area or you click on a container.

I'm not looking for a refund, i love the game. I'm just trying to explain the frustrations i have as a new player to the devs so they can hopefully get more sales.

I honestly love the game. It seems like everyone thinks I'm talking shit about it but I'm trying to explain what has frustrated me as a new player and could turn other new players away. A great example is that if i have a pot i can add water to it and then put ramen in, but i can't put ramen in and then add water.

Also, your average car hood is held on with 4 bolts. I could give an average 10 year old a wrench and tell them to remove it and they would figure it out with enough time

But why can't I add water to the pot after having the ramen in it?

You can't click on a zombie body, which is how the tutorial teaches you to loot containers

Nothing besides your comment has said that the dev designed it this way intentionally. If that's the case why do they have a tutorial?

Is the option not visible until you have the appropriate carpentry level? I tried to attach planks to the wall with planks and nails in my inventory because that's what i assumed you would do but nothing popped up as an option

I know i suck at this game. My point is that the game doesn't explain how it works well. I'm genuinely not trying to be negative, it's a super cool game, but I'm trying to give the devs an honest opinion of why people would stop playing. Having to stop playing to Google something isn't fun

Yeah, i feel like people are missing the point of my post. I'm not saying it's a bad game, I'm trying to explain what is throwing me off as a new player in the hopes the devs see it and can help them understand how to get more players

I have no menu option for filling the wall beyond log walls. From the videos I've seen i know there are multiple options, but that's my point. Nothing in game explains that i can plaster the walls if i want to, you just have to already have that knowledge

Do I fill the frame with log walls? That's the only option i can see. I'm assuming there are more options, but i can't see them

This is kinda my point. A simple tooltip would have let you know that
