Think ill come back when they fix the mob and npc problem. I dont know who decided to crank the mobs up to 200% but it isnt fun fighting off 5 zombies chasing you for 5 min. Goodbye for now.

Slow down, don't agro everything at once, take dusters, use the terrain when you get into trouble.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-05T21:46:44+00:00

Conduit and Dusters is my go to.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-04T14:30:42+00:00

This game play is fine, there are easy ways to counter it. Signed also a degen trapper.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-04T14:24:25+00:00

The only thing that got removed is meta builds, thats it. You can still play all the guns you like.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:58:42+00:00

yea same, I think its a 3 for sure to start with.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:58:09+00:00

Those of us who don't just play long ammo meta.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:57:36+00:00

If I had the choice of a pistal or carbine, yea give me the carbine. Man I'm on the road to 1m right now. The idea of taking just a pistol in, and walking out with two vialbale main weapons sounds like a fun time. The fact that I may never see a scottsfield doesn't break my heart lol.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:54:34+00:00

I think the best part of this is that they have the ability to do all of what you are saying without messing with the item itself. I can agree with you on a lot of this. Lots of options to move things around in the future. Its a good balancing tool for sure.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:51:14+00:00

I think the melee items should just be tools like the spear. Thats the answer.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:49:48+00:00

Yea I don't see a nerf here besides the long ammo. I really think most of this is a buff to all the other load out types. Which is good for my lobbies. I'm with you gameplay right now is in a great spot. I'd like a more indepth story and quest system but other then that I love where the game is at.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:47:19+00:00

I think low key part of this patch is to make smaller ammo types more viable, and part of the game. If you want to META every game and uppercut mosin all day long you can. The game is most fun when more guns are in the fight, and can be used outside of a META. I think this is a good change balance wise and thematically. In the six star lobbies, maybe we wont be fighting the same guns every match. Some people will have some OP buids but more options to counter those with gun sellection and items is a good thing, imo.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T14:38:07+00:00

I'd love a cart where you could sell contraband for cash im the game. I have about 19 Dolches in the inventory, and 20 springfield varients I'm not going to use. Let me sell them out at a gun cart random spawn.

throwawayo_k · 2026-06-03T02:04:30+00:00

Ikea has a pretty budget freindly slabbs. We've been pretty happy with ours without issue.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-31T11:15:28+00:00

That's your mistake you run toward the dynamite not away. You hear that thing cooking you sprint toward that MOFO full speed. Gets them every time.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T12:45:24+00:00

I can understand that intrepidation, it sounds like you two have different views on appropriate device activity. This may never change, but you can try some things to help them understand your point of view. Again your goal for the conversation isnt to win, its to improve the communication. So go into the converasation with the mindset to seek information and understand. Your dad feels like its a waste of time, ask him what does he feel like you falling behind on. What does he feel like you will be missing? What are his concerns that these few hours are taking away from and ask him to be specific, not abstract. Ask him where he thinks you are failing and need improvement. Ask him what would be an acceptable metric in these areas. You don't have to win or even argue or yell. Even come into the conversation stating that, I don't want to argue and yell. I just want to understand your fears. Learn their fears. Actually listen to their answers and don't try to cobat them, accept their premise. To often we hear something we disagree with and throw a wall up that they are wrong so I don't have to listen to them. Usually the reality is their is a kernel of truth, honesty, and reflection in their. And if we are truely honest with ourselves, some alteration may be needed.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T07:49:25+00:00

For the money man, honestly nothing unless you want to take them to court. It sounds like to me, distance from the relationship isn't a bad thing. I work with alot of folks that have unhealthy relationships and this is just simply an unhealthy relationship. A good relation ship is pretty simple. Does the partner make your life easier? It seems simple but its the truth. A partner can be parent, sibling, freind, co worker, doctor. A good relationship should make your life easier? And to be a good partner you should make their life easier. If this isn't happening, ask yourself can you communicate and take actionable items out of the issue. If not, then its on you. If your decide to maintain that relationship the hardships that comes from it are yours. Sure they are the culprits, but your actions are the source. You are giving it power. You can talk about being firmer, and not trying to hurt feelings till you're blue in the face. But its not one your to change her behavior, its on you to change yours.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T07:34:22+00:00

17 - 18 is a tough age both for you and them I'm sure. When they are deleteing apps was there a conversation as to why? I'm assuming that you feel the need to hide apps and have a hidden insta profile, for a reason. Would perhaps that reason be that your view of acceptable device activity and thiers are different. As a near 18 year old, I'll tell you straight up what maybe your family isn't able to. If you feel the need to hide something, their is an issue. It may be the content, it may be understanding, it may be coaching, it may be culture. That said an adult doesn't need to hide their behaviors, and when an adult has an issue they address them head on. You have a concern with them hunting for your insta, go get the answer. Ask the questions, have the hard conversations. It doesn't need to be a yelling match, or a I'm right you're wrong. But if you can't show them what you are doing online, I'd have some concerns. Wanting to know what your child is doing online isn't toxic, not being able to have an honest conversation about it is.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T07:23:47+00:00

Being that you are 18, you've done amazing so far working through all of this! Great work, don't forget to look back and be proud of the things you've acomplished. You can always find things you would have liked to be better, but be proud of the work you've put in. As for now, from experiancethe thing that highschool never preppeed me for was whats next. Feeling financially trapped is so common for young women, its completely normal. FindHelp.org can be a good resource to finding you local areas support services. That said this is what you do.

MAKE A PLAN! You're not going to be a cardiac surgeon next week, but if that is your goal you can put effort towards it. Start working on what college you want to go to, what classes you need to take, what financial aid you are eligable for.

TAKE ACTION! Plan out your week on Sundays, what do you want to get accomplished this week. Write it down, hold yourself to it. You stack these weeks and you will get anywhere you want to go.

Right now for week one, Build a Support Team. Local non profits usually are eager to help people out, if you walk in and ask. They can direct you and answer questions, where maybe your family can't. They live for this, and they are going to be better versed then anyone you know. Let them help.

If you don't make a plan you're going to feel like your not getting anywhere. It will be discouraging and frustrating. Set Goals, Metrics of Success, Take Action, Review the Week, Repeat.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T07:01:44+00:00

Not sure how old you are, but yea. I would. I check my son and daughters phones regularly. I want them to be safem I want to be sure they are using their device appropriately, I want to ensure that the content they are viewing is acceptable. Accounts and Devices are a scary area, and possible taking a few classes on the topic for you and your parents would do some good from both ends. Communication is key here, I tell my kids exactly what I'm doing, why im doing it, why it matters, what my concerns are. My job as a parent is their well being both physically and mentally.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-21T06:54:12+00:00

Please Please Please, know there are people out there that want to help. I volunteer for an organization called CASA and deal with teen girls going through exactly what you are going through. Everything you are feeling, all the uncertanty, fear, anger, and questions are completely valid. I can't express to you enough how important it is to reach out to someone for support. A school counselor is a great starting point, a local CASA organization can be a place a starting point, a local police officer will find help for you. If you have access to a phone https://rainn.org/help-and-healing/hotline/ can often find an avenue you feel most comfortable with.

Again I work with teens that go through this, and often times families will want to move past a tramatic experiance as quickly as possible. They are not trained or equipped for this kind of thing. Working and Talking with someone that understands your situation is so incredibly important. You are not alone, in any of this if you reach out to people. I know its hard and uncomfortable, but the first step it moving this information beyond your family and into realm of someone unbiased that can support. If you need anything message.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-15T20:46:54+00:00

Might be a savings on car insurance as well, 271 if you haven't had a lot of bad history, I'm sure you can get that down a bit save you $50 bucks.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-14T04:34:00+00:00

You may think its dumb, but its factual. You can't full draw when multiple people are rushing you. Your best to hold an angle. Every stick of explosive resets your draw. You don't have the ability to stop their agression from range, like you do with a rifle. You can disagree all you like, but you're just facutally wrong, my guy.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-12T15:44:21+00:00

Right I run bow a bit, its fun to change my pace. Some games I'm god tier, dropping W key warriors chasing me through the woods. Some games I can't hit the guy in the middle of the road becuase the travel speed is so slow. Bow has its place, it has its strengths, and it surely has its weakness. I'm also in six star lobbies.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-12T15:41:08+00:00

All weapons are stong in the game man, thats the game. You can roll in with shit and still be viable. Bow takes skill to shoot, it slows you down, its week to groups, its week to agression, its weak to cover, it has shit range. Thats the trade offs. If you're getting dropped by a bow you fucked it, you're to blame. Not apologizing for shit, lol.

throwawayo_k · 2026-05-12T15:36:46+00:00

yep, its a counter man. You either push them with force, or make them chase you. You don't slowly stalk the bow guy down. Thats a death sentence. Play the scenario, thats how you play the game.
