  1. It's a Dire Wolf. It's a former fan of Dire Straits that was also a werewolf and became a zombie. But it was just its human side that became a zombie. Turns out that once you're a human zombie that turns into a werewolf you get stuck, especially if you like Dire Straits' music. It's an all around horrible situation.
  2. When the bar is replaced by sunglasses then you have to watch out. It means the Terminator is coming for you.
  3. Just think of them as "lost feature tear collectors".
  4. That... would be awesome. Looking up at the airdrop plane and seeing a line of zombies falling out of it as it streaks across the sky...
  5. I'd be ashamed of being proud of my shame but my pride won't let me.
  6. I rage quit every day. I never even realized there was another way to leave the game.
  7. The short version: It is one of many apps that will take a unique ID, usually presented to the user as a scannable QR code, as a starting point for a time-based function that returns a value. So that unique starting point plus the current time is used to generate a 6 or more digit code. That code, being unique to the user and time of use, is then generally used as a second factor in authentication. It is not a perfect system, but it is still currently a far better (read: more secure) choice as a second factor than getting a text message or answering canned questions such as your favorite pet as a kid. I'm sure someone will correct any mistakes I've made above.
  8. Wasn't that, but it could have been my eyes playing tricks on me with the zombie bear.
  9. In SP, which I play almost exclusively, I leave loot and chunk respawn off. I like to think of it as a way of making it more realistic. You can now wander into any city at night and see a LOT more zombies than in older versions so there are no shortage of zombies to spawn that way. Enter a city in the wasteland at night for even more fun. Turn on feral sense in a city in the wasteland at night for the feeling of near constant blood moon every night.
  10. I have noticed there are more kinds of bears spawning now. A big one and a little one of the living variety as well as variants of the undead kind (though I haven't seen a lot of that yet).
  11. It means that you should remove the zombie from the top of the dew collector so its blood stops draining inside.
  12. Actually... TFP should market the foods we make in game...
  13. We're all casual at something.
  14. The Flu can be unwelcome but you might as well embrace him because he won't go away without a fight. The final game stage should be 1/3 feral radiated demolishers, 1/3 feral radiated screamers, and 1/3 feral radiated cops. That would be fun. EDIT: Formatting
  15. I'm sure I'd eventually get there but most of the time around 10. I never seem to play a game long enough to manage 50 collectors. Then again I always play solo so... yeah, that's be a lot of water.
  16. I play without traders, so there is that. I guess I'm going to have to mod out non-EXP rewards for challenges. Thank you both for your help.
  17. Not sure what information I can add to support this. Just try it out. I have never once had any of these actually reward experience when I have had the 300% option selected. I get the "you completed a challenge" theme song but nothing else. That reward is not enough.
  18. Everything you've ever put out on the internet has been bundled up (aggregated) and tied to you from many angles (your browser, your ISP account, your phone profile, you name it). Just about every site out there has been scraped for info and those little aggregated bundles every site has been collecting has been aggregated together. Everything you've ever searched for (clicked on or not) has likely been captured at many levels (from your browser, to your ISP, to your search engine, to any computer transporting the information between you and your destination). You have a profile and it is huge... and it is mostly available for sale. Oh, and politics is finally catching up. Not to protect you, but to get in on the action. While the worst case of what I wrote is unlikely (at least for now), the breadth is not. Just understand that every data breach out there is already having AIs training on the data. Figuring out who you are, no matter how anonymous you think you are being, is something that will soon be trivial.
  19. To sum up life on the Internet: you are the product, whether you are paying for the service or not. Every loyalty program turns you into a product. Every piece of information you introduce to the Internet has value and someone is going to try to exploit it to make money. Anyone want to hear the cynical version?
  20. He's missing his back two legs, like the deer above, and part of his back end due to a birth defect if I remember correctly. Not sure if he could get himself going on his own or not.
