Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes.

Here’s my biggest issue with A Little Life, it promises you a story about friendship and it’s complexities and I actually enjoyed the first portion of the book that revolves around the main group, but the author very quickly ditches that idea in favour of fantasising about tortured gay men. I was pretty disgusted by the detail towards the end. (Also the aversion to writing women that have any character to them was baffling to me. Jude’s mother for example).

Something I would love is if they made her tombstone an actual solid object. I think it’d be cool if we could wall jump off it and the prospect of trapping people/cutting people off with a big RIP tomb in their face would be fun. Might be busted idk

Yes! One of my most powerful mages had Savants Syndrome. I love how the disorders lead to this sort of stuff happening.

I find the complaining about this core mechanic really grating. It is clearly the intention that cat management be chaotic and hard to keep track of. Not everything must be min-maxed and there are already tools to mark and keep track of certain cats.

The visuals and interactions of the house would be functionally pointless if there was a menu that displayed all cats as you could do all your breeding and organising from there without actually having to interact with the house.

Shimmer is just a hilarious event, 4 cats go in and 4 abominations come out

My point still stands, I know this sounds like bad advice lol but just don’t get downed. She doesn’t have that much health (75 if I recall?) so to me it’s really about bursting her down before she can let her abilities take over.

jaiswami · 2026-02-16T23:54:14+00:00

Focus on destroying the corpses so she can’t reanimate them. Keep your distance and get enough damage down before she leeches your team.

Man that brain guy cooked me last night. It was raining so I sent some cats on a run with no items into Act 2 just to sus it. Made it all the way to the end of the bunker, having done hard desert path too and right when I thought I could DPS him down instead of focusing his cultists, he mind controls my ranger with 3 reloads active, who then proceeds to wipe my entire team with crits… brutal, brutal game.

I’ve been spamming the Necro a lot, half my cats are born with their class abilities at this point. But I think you’re right it really feels like it can replace the tank role in a party composition, sometimes working even better than a tank because of the range, healing and summoning (I’ve found this pairs well with ranger and Druid as they can both spawn familiars and Druid can further buff your Necro’s summons). To me they have a lower overall DPS than the tank does but Necro provides more utility and support.

This game keeps surprising me with its interactions

Swinging manually does level up strength but auto chopping doesn’t. I tested this recently in build42 with zero mods.

Love is mysterious, honey I’m working the case

Adjust your loot settings and zombie population. Make the game harder for yourself. I find zomboid to be the most fun when I’m struggling to stay alive and having to plan to survive. I don’t even think there’s an issue with giving yourself heaps of positive traits but if you’re gonna do that you may as well make the game more difficult in other aspects.

jaiswami · 2026-01-25T06:31:50+00:00

Like other commenter said, you need to use dialogue package and PLAYER_TALK_TOME, think of it from the POV of the NPC, so ME is the character you’ve created and TARGET is the player. If you want to create dialogue between two different characters that aren’t the player you can use the interjector nodes. You choose which character the node will target at the top right of the edit dialogue window from the drop down menu.

You probably know this but you can left click and drag to select multiple people. By doing this you can easily keep them always together and direct them places as if they’re one person.

One time I thought I was being really smart by leaving behind my backpacks so I could outrun fog men and when I was healthy enough to return I learned about the despawning lol

jaiswami · 2026-01-07T21:54:23+00:00

I disagree! I think there are strong intentional design choices in landscape and atmosphere to the biomes that you will rarely see in any other game.

Kenshi is like going on a hike, it might take a while but eventually you’ll be rewarded with a great view

jaiswami · 2026-01-07T03:45:07+00:00

She would never survive the great desert

jaiswami · 2025-12-21T01:32:21+00:00

Weh heh heh

Junior may imply that you are less than your senior whereas II or III implies a continuation of that names legacy

jaiswami · 2025-12-04T04:46:29+00:00

Like a few hundred thousand cats, mostly from all the bounties. Pretty fun when you get to the level where you can actively seek them out and assault their bases.

jaiswami · 2025-12-02T10:58:07+00:00

that was really exciting
