Started playing Project Zomboid again, ive still have no clue wtf im doing, but we shall see what happens.

I also saw a streamer play this game recently in multiplayer (which is what got me in the mood to play it again myself) and there zombies that ran at night in his game. Holy fucking hell this game is terrifying with fast zombies. Like you stand no chance at all.

I heard this just had a huge update. Apparently I bought it years ago and barely played it. Must give it a look, get eaten by some zombies.

And there goes my desire to ever play Wordle ever again. Today's word can go fuck itself to death.

I don't know why I can't share my results most of the time, but to explain what happened, I got the first three letters straight out of the gate. Three greens on the first damn word. I then proceeded to fail every single other guess. Like, actually eat shit and die, I want to burn that website down. I'm enraged.

Decided to bump the difficulty down to Builder in Project Zomboid to have a more relaxed experience to try and properly get used to the game. My first character unfortunately got bit and i stashed her stuff in a car then had her die to a group of zombles then when i rolled my second character in the same city i was able to make my way over to her gear and have been continuing with her so far.

Came across a police station and was able to get myself a pistol to get used to using weapons and managed to acquire a working car that i then refuelled and got up and running again to get used to driving. I immediately crashed it twice but we wont talk about that.

Probably gona mess around with Carpentry some more and do some farming, then when i feel confident enough ill go do another run on Survivor to get used to the regular experience.

The trouble with Roblox, the video game empire built on child labour

Interesting piece i came across via reddit by the Guardian about child labour in roblox of all things.

People Make Games have a pair of good videos about Roblox, probably covering a lot of the same points.

Really seems like Roblox is a very bad thing.

I wrote up a decently long response to this but I lost it and I think it says more anyway that it was six months ago that I last got mad over a news article.

Been playing this a lot with my sister and a friend. Our Internet kinda sucks so the desync is pretty Bad still, especially in zombie-heavy areas, but its fun. Its also pretty slow. We've spent hours just like...trying to get places. But the devs seem to have a TON of love for it. They have a lot of ideas in the works.

The Fallout setting has great potential for a TV show. But also it could be shite.

I also dug this one out from the depths of the Steam library. My most successful run so far involved running from a horde of zombies over fences through a wooded area and stumbling onto a golf course, breaking into the 19th hole, chugging a beer to stave off depression, and sleeping on the floor. Then as I tried to find my way back to town two zombies chomped me to death.

Great fun.

Great fun.

Ive had two characters in my current run, the first died after four days, the second has lasted over two weeks now and ive got my own hide out in the north end of the map with a van that im slowly fortifying and gathering supplies for. I actually just ransacked a gun store in the far west of the map after avoiding a sizable swarm of zombies and gathered a mix of hand guns, rifles and a shotgun plus a good wack of ammo.

My character sucks ass at shooting and reloading though so i think when im out on another run ill take a rifle and some ammo, get behind a fence or something and just take pot shots at zombies to try and get my skill up.

Clearly the game needs a mechanic whereby you shoot cans off a fence to train. And them get swarmed by zombies when they hear the noise.
