Appreciate the context. I have the PDF of the short story, so I'll be reading that soon, and I may take a crack at the PC game as well. I just recall how much Gooseworx utilized the narrative of IHNMAIMS and plopped it into the world of C&A. Curious to see what these last two episodes bring. Ep7 was something.
Starting to think the VR one is a more macabre way to describe The Amazing Digital Circus and/or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (I really need to read the story). Trapped in a virtual world without any knowledge of the goings on in reality, including time dilation.
I go back to the workplace after being off since 12/20. I am low-key fretting as I have 3-4 new staff starting tomorrow to prep tech for, and said tech came in barely two days prior to vacay; aka no time to prep them beyond getting them into our management system. And the above isn't even factoring in my day-to-day tickets.
Don't get me wrong, I like my job, but I like being off and lazy way more.
I haven't played in about a month, but the Corvette update really got my interest renewed. Soon as that dropped, my first thought was how Hello Games basically out-Starfielded Starfield. Having completely walkable interiors on near-infinitely editable ships made things a lot more fun, although also a smidge OP. Methinks I should jump back in! Really need to try VR mode again too.
As much as I like Firefox, they've been digging a hole for a bit with some of their latest decisions. I may end up jumping to Librewolf sooner than later.
If this is the WhatsApp thing being appended, go into Firefox Settings, scroll down to Advanced and find "Link Sharing", and inside should be one entry to turn off.
I've heard of that bug but never encountered it. I have had zed spawn in a few times in interiors before, but never a horde level, more of a "Surprise! I bit you in the dark and now you're already dead." On B42 the mod author stated it wouldn't be out until 42 was marked stable, so a few other modders (BuchoJefe & Mickey Knox primarily) jumped the gun and added their own versions of RV Interior. I use the former's mod, and it's pretty solid, as it randomizes interiors. Doesn't always make sense (like an ambulance interior in a van or box truck), but weird conversions are a thing, so I think it fits in. Adding in Vanvival makes it even more OP, unless you make it part of the lore.
Yeah, sorry if I push Week One so much. I feel it's the only way I can play Zomboid anymore as it adds so much "realism" to the start of the game. I really hope The Indie Stone hire the guy sooner than later as despite the jank in the mod (he is technically replacing zed with NPCs on a limited codebase afaik), it just works so well on the build-up from days 1-7. Not having an MP option for B42 yet also sucks. I'm primarily an SP type of person, so the MP aspect isn't high on my list.
The only other mod I could recommend, albeit a bit OP, is the B41 version of RV Interior. It changes the gameplay loop as once you find a working vehicle, it becomes your home. Playing inventory Tetris with a base that can be as small as 3x3 tiles, up to a massive truck trailer can be fun and rewarding lol.
