Phobophobia, because there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

And the number 17, because heptadecaphobia is thing apparently.

Completed an imaginary scenario, "Imperial attack on rebel Clone holdout". After many attempts across several days.

That's me, wearing full Stormtrooper armor, wielding an E-11 blaster, and a pack of thermal detonators. Plus a vanilla basic knife, which I always have on me. Magic was forbidden, obviously, I'm not a Jedi(that run* was in fact just as hard). Outpost map was set to Clone Troops to spawn.

This one is especially hard because the E-11 is basically the worst blaster ever. Poor accuracy, poor damage, and poor fire rate. The Clones' pistol is a better weapon.

Nearly lost at the midpoint room, which happened to be the Farm/Smithy area. Immediately on my left was a Shield Trooper(carries a big riot shield). Whiffed multiple attempts at stabbing his throat. Finally got him, but two of his buddies, Clone Troopers with rifles, were approaching me from behind. I tried to grab the shield, but couldn't reach it, so I ran at one of the troopers, grabbing his gun and shot him in the face with mine. I didn't have time(nor inclination) to try to get my hand on the trigger of the rifle, so I used it as a shield while firing my E-11... which worked far better than it had any right to(like, better than a lightsaber). The last guy was camping in the smithy, so I kicked him into the spot below the mill-hammer, and dropped a thermal detonator. Almost died because the door jammed when I tried to leave.

Got to the finale, which was the one with one exit. That battle was me staying up at the top of the wall, dropping grenades below and ambushing anyone who made it up the stairs. At the end of it, I grabbed a fallen riot shield, charged down and finished all the remaining Clone Troopers.

Mildly annoyed. Running out of one my prescriptions. Requested the refill a few days ago, but the pharmacy never responded. Went there today to see if they had it, but when I got there realized the pharmacy is closed on weekends. I don't have enough left for tomorrow, let alone until Monday. It's not super-important, in fact I don't know if I still really need to take it, as my doctor prescribed me something else to treat the part of my intestine that this one didn't fix yet. He did tell me to take both, though.

Damn near ran out of booze, and it kept showing that it could not find any of the resources it needed. Took me far too long to realize why; the brewery was crammed with random ingredients for the different orders that it could not hold any more and it could not make any single thing. Apparently, buildings will try to load up resources for every queued order, regardless of priority, availability, or storage space.

Similar experience. Went to several different places in the past few days to find eyewear to watch the eclipse. Nobody had them. All sold out. A library the next town over was giving them out, but refused us because we don't reside in that town zone despite that library being in the same library group as the one closest to us. The closest thing we found was +$40 glasses at Home Depot which are labeled to block 99.9% of UV light, but that was +$40.

We did manage with a pair of some kind of welding goggles, by overlaying both lenses over one eye and covering the other and sharing it. And then it wasn't a total eclipse anyway and I have spots in my eyes now.

Went crazy in the enemy base, carving through enemies with my knife as they seemed to be more focused on whoever was attacking the objective rather than me. Got the "You got blood on my suit" achievement - 10 knife kills in one life.

Some of the items added in this mod are police gear, such as tasers, zip-tie cuffs, and batons. Tried to do a "nonlethal" Outpost run by tasing and zip-tying enemies. Sadly, very few of my arrests survived... mostly due to physics. The game tends to jerk them hard when I put the cuffs on them, and it's surprisingly hard to get their hands around to put them in the cuffs, resulting a few deaths by blunt force trauma as they smack into the floor at high speed at short distance. And there was that guy whose head I accidentally ripped off trying to pull him away from a ledge with gravity magic. Oops. Gave up when I accidentally dropped my taser and it apparently phased out of existence.
