The moment you realize you need a new character because you got so bored your treating you current character as a dwarf from dwarf fortress.

```
                                                            BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
                                                         SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Related, that moment when you stand over the corpse of the zombie hulk you just murdered after dozens of turns of kiting, low-damage hits and lifesaving dodges… only to realize you had a damn glowstick equipped the whole time.

Also that moment when you block with your cake.

That moment when you read something that warrants repeating.

That moment when you finally have enough explosives that you use them to open locked doors and move vehicles out of the road.  
That moment when you light a small piece of paper on fire and it fills an entire house with thick smoke (Thankfully a short lived bug).  
That moment when you first put on a suit, monocle, and top hat and kill a zombear with your walking cane.

That moment you find out that [d] button opens the drop menu after you have literally moved hundreds of stuff by the combo [i] + [object letter] + [d], one bone after another.

Far more convenient than that is [D], which allows you to multidrop things on a select tile, and even more convenient than that is [/] which will open advanced inventory management, allowing you to move things from one tile to another without needing to manually pick them up.

That moment when you look at the game controls before playing and find about this. :I

Unlike Cataclysm, in real life you don’t have an 100% retention rate of everything you come across on your first read-through 🙂 You learn through a mix of experience and revisiting the text.

Just died by crashing my super car at a tree, I played with that dude for over 163 days and managed to literally turn him into a demi-god.  
Guess it’s pretty fun to know that you can wrestle unarmed against 5 jaberwocks but a &(_@S#$(@_ tree can kill you in 3 seconds.  
Makes you pretty darn humble ;|  
EDIT: Just went there with new char, can’t even do corpse run cause car had so much gasoline in it that it’s explosion was literaly the size of half a farm. Why…

That moment when you bring a car-nuke, set a “fuse” lit on and run away, but no explosion has been created even after 50 turns of waiting. And when you return to check it out, you find out the fuse wasn’t burning because the map tile wasn’t been processed as you had gone too far away. The fuse burns to the point and activated the car-nuke having killed you in one moment.
