squirrel kombat was one of my favorite games as a kid

Yes

Iirc, when experimented on, these ‘escape pods’ would enter a spin so violent it would turn the whole thing into a lethal centrifuge.

That’s a good point! Now that I’m looking at the numbers closer, Dota 2 is average concurrent while league is total for the day! I’ll try to find more comparable numbers and edit my comment.

Alright so the daily player count of league is currently 10 million, but to your point Dota 2 is 400k. Dota’s only a fraction of the league player base for sure.

Dota 2 is actually huge right now

Oh, look, a post on Lemmy about Windows. I’m excited to engage in a unique, nuanced discussion about the topic of the post!

So glad I’m not on Reddit where people just repeat the same predictable thing over and over then jerk each other off.

(I use Linux too. But I hate seeing copy+paste Linux shilling on every Windows post. It’s preaching to the choir and uninspired.)

Human: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😙👌 masterpiece

Computer: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😡 plagiarism

Exactly! Back in my day, people used to fill up my gas for me and carry my things up to my hotel room. Young people are getting lazy and entitled! Corporations need to make them work harder. Makes it hard to humiliate the poors if they make ME do the work.

Better to have ads pushed down our collective throats than let collectivists have us by the throat. An ‘unregulated’ market lets us choose whether or not to use them, instead of justifying their necessity to avoid censorship.

The most secure & economical option is to never go outside

As a network security expert, I’ve got that on LOCK

Thank God for cars. Imagine riding public transport and getting felt up/robbed/harassed. Glad we can all agree on this Lemmy 👍

Obviously this is the worst of both worlds, but it’s a weird flex to support cars.

Zomboid was originally inspired by CDDA. Much of the game flow and ideas are 1 to 1 copies. The biggest difference is that CDDA is a turn based game that is played on tiles (think rogue or nethack). From the inventory system to crafting to base construction to reading books, it’s all there.

Oh. Except bites aren’t instant death. There’s no zombie virus. Dead bodies rise up (including yours!). You can still get infections and die from them, but you can also just clean your wounds. 1v1-ing a zombie is suicide though unless you have a decent weapon.

Also, zombies evolve… So they scale well into the late game. Having a zombie hulk throw you through a concrete wall and breaking every bone in your body is usually lethal.

this is a comic man, you might be reading into it more than the artist intended… I was bullied in high school by a single, lone dude lots of times.

lol whoops. I do like the idea of that tho.

Not at 5 years old! Absolutely not.

If you’re enjoying Project Zomboid, you might want to check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA). It’s a fantastic open-world survival game with a similar vibe, but it offers a lot more depth and complexity in its gameplay mechanics. Best part? CDDA is free and open-source.

Rather hurtful stereotype.
