  1. I'd also examine your game settings. Are you running 30 minute/120 minute days? That will skew your numbers. Do you have the difficulty tuned up? Harder fighting increases food and water usage (even IF you're shooting!). Travel around much on foot or by vehicle? That has a factor in the equasion as well.
  2. Or at one point in time, the only language translations that are commonly known in scholastic circles at the time are in Greek, and are prolly spoken with the same care as people use in Spanglish lol. For instance, I watched a video somewhat recently I think it was on TikTok where someone pronounced all the Egyptian deities in actual ancient Egyptian, opposite of their Greek names. It happens in Paleontology all the time. My most recent experience with something like this was learning Quechua (Incan tribal language) from someone who knew zero English, but also spoke Spanish. I had to translate the words in my head from English to Spanish, so he could translate it from Spanish to Quechua and then back again. I had to add in Youtube sessions to even out my practical understanding, and even then the accents were somewhat different because of regional variances. It was a fun but also frustrating exercise. TOTALLY reinforcing how bad humans are at language. At least in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries, there were concerted efforts to standardize a national language. Don't get me started on Gen Z's internet coded language, or my experiences with Bostonians and most New Englanders in general. lol, but.. thats just MY damage.
  3. The Kukri is not the only blade in the world that is also unrealistically called a Machete. There are a plethora of other weapons that also share the same misnomer. Also as someone who minored in linguistics, I recognize that as much language as people use - people are actually REALLY bad at language. I can tell you with confidence that linguistic science also takes that disparity into account.
  4. My opinion is that I have so many fine points to debate about realism and firearms from actual real life experience to debate your entire reason for posting. Not that I want to come down upon you and make you feel bad for posting, no. Actually, I encourage the exchange of ideas. However, there's this .. gut wrenching knot im left with and you DID solicit us for our opinion.
  5. Snarky. But consider the fact that regardless of the information you provided, I still have zero desire to actually eat out of virtual trash cans anyway. I can still be happy for those that do, however. I just gave up on the idea of it being valuable as a food item when I found it so much more economically approachable to simply use the undead hamburger to make garden plots so I can enjoy other foods that took less time to prepare.
  6. If you have a high level of combat skill with melee; The spear and the sledgie have enough range you can do the backpeddle and still be okay. Definitely not for newbie combat though.
  7. About bloody time. Thanks for the update.
  8. Romero mod has made me scared to go out into the city again. I love it.
  9. Hobo Stew has a cooking time of 9 years.
  10. I'd like to see them roll up 4-6 deep. They approach player camps/bases with a big white panel caravan. They empty the contents of these vehicles in the form of about 12-20 zombos of various types and unleash them on the players. While we are busy dealing with the zombos, they are attacking with a plethora of different weapons both ranged and melee, possibly molotovs. The zombos do not attack the bandits, only players. It will feel like a really real raid. But, that's just me.
  11. 9mm Pistol. >Extended Magazine. >Stealth = Silencer; Not Stealth = Barrel Extender >Rad Remover. >Reflex Sight. >If Perked Penetrator 1 = HP Ammo; If not Perked = AP Ammo. Handiest sidearm in all the land.
  12. I eat cat or dog chow pretty much only on day 1, if I have to. I also never loot toilet water. F that.
  13. I'm almost always with a Chai Tea. But, if I'm drinking drinking, it's Rum and Coke. I tend to have Kraken, Sailor Jerry, or if I'm feeling particularly rich that week, Plantation.
  14. Well.. with an M-60, AP ammo, and Penetrater 1 perked I've sawed through them well enough in a straight line. Some activate and some don't in live situations. I imagine the button itself isn't always perfectly in line with the ones behind it because they do tend to twitch a lot. Not sure if that makes a big difference in terms of coding, but it's the biggest detail I note when im on horde duty.
  15. I sometimes wonder if the gold nuggets I loot are like the gold teefs from Red Dead.
  16. I like the idea of NavezCon. I'm not sure if I like the idea of being in crowded room full of smelly survivors. lol. Sorry, couldn't help it. 😛
  17. Zombie dogs. Just when you think you got them figured out, they go back into deadly ninja mode. In earlier alphas bears (and sometimes dogs/wolf/dire wolf) would make no noise. They'd spawn in as a horde and you'd never hear them coming. This was also before the new AI. One of the things that never ceases to surprise is that even after 3k+ hours in this game, sometimes the most effed up things can happen when the environment and mobs trigger just right. Speaking of new experiences, I had to throw dynamite at our horde base to make sure that horde couldn't penetrate our door defenses. We lost a portion of our southern outer defense, but they had a kitten of a time trying to corpse ladder each other to actually get to our inner defenses. Holes in the ground take less resources to build back up then our entire inside structure. Made the decision easier for me to nuke it. This game can sometimes force you into some situations like the zombie dog issue, when you gotta make split second decisions. Its the ones that make the least sense that force your hand into... interesting and often deadly solutions. And the heat situation is a complicated one. The math is somewhere here on the forum, but I'm only experientially qualified enough to say 15 torches and two campfires aren't that bad. I would make the move to candles though. Those generate less heat. In my MP game we have at any given time: 1-4 campfires, 6-8 forges, 4 work stations, 4 cement mixers, and 3 chemistry benches going and it takes the same amount of time to spawn screamers. Once we learned that, the decision to have more workstations became easier. And if you REALLY wanted to summon screamers, just lay out 15 fire barrels out in a field somewhere and watch them from a rooftop. This led me to believe that perhaps the spawn timer has an initial global cooldown.
  18. "Your mouth tastes like the inside of a motorman's glove."
  19. I mean the title of this seems not terribly precise but somehow I got the gist this was a hypothetical conversation.
  20. I've had this happen to me multiple times. I've got two spare motorcycles and a spare 4x4 in my last game, in a server that was a19 all the way through 19.4. But that's not the first time it's happened to me.
  21. I could envision two scenarios for the Vegas Strip. The first being, a re-imagination of the Strip from FNV. The other specific to 7 Days and will include a story from Army of the Dead. and I'd want a Dave Bautista character model included. 😛
  22. Just 6? Damn dude. I can't live without at least 250+ in my first hotbar slot.
  23. The Wasteland is great for XP, terrible if you're looking for a quite neighbourhood home to sleep in.
