“Maybe if I hide behind the trees, the milspec turrets won’t see me”

I was gunned down before I even made it to the trees

Had a splint on the wrong leg for several days.

Doh.

Forgot to take off splints, get into fights.

Doh.

Forgot to take off multiple rucksacks/duffel bags / etc after moving stuff around… And get into fights.

Doh.

Tried to beat a zombie to death while holding one ratshot (don’t ask).

Doh.

Let my cat wander around my desk and lap while playing with fire. Cat jumps onto keyboard and sends me right into the inferno.

Doh.

Found a control laptop in a lab start. I am now king. The king needs light to craft. I’ve controlled the turret in this room, it will make an excellent light source.

…yeaaaaahhhhhhhh.

After that I just deactivate every turret I control.

Whao, they can SPAWN now? I’ve NEVER found one, always had to craft it… But yeah, once you have one of those, lab turrets, secubots, and manhacks are NO problem anymore (even with no computer skill - you eventually make them short-circuit to death).

Around 2nd year, didnt know what to do, everything seemed easy, had too much of gear, food, guns and ammo and was wondering what i should tackle next, decided to go clear a small town (again x5), was driving around 50mph into the town, just checking for hulks first and noticed one so i turned my enchanced buggy towards his street, manouvering between other vehicles, almost crashed into a house, managed to get car under control again and drove towards hulk… when a stinky grappler jumps out of house through the window and pulls me right infront my own fcking buggy, which severly dammages me with frontal spikes down to 20% HP and then hulk finishes me.

Felt so damn stupid… but you learn… hehe

I had something similar happen once - now I ALWAYS have my driver’s seat fully enclosed, for exactly that reason. (Though at one point, grapplers could pull you windows and doors, but they fixed that long ago.)
