Horah, I can rationalize playing again! To celebrate I have recorded the first in which I assume will be a large number of CataDDA 0.B videos

Join us. The crazy is at a perfect temperature today.
So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Interesting, a new release a few hours after I downloaded the latest experimental to get back into it.

New version, new world! This time with static NPCs. My new bestest friend sent me out to get a big ol' flag for the shelter, but then he accidentally and fatally shot me in the head when I opened the door in front of him.

Really beginning to hate skeletons. They can kill me in two turns. Double headshots. I play with Glass Jaw, but turning it off would only give me one more turn with which to fail to hit it in. And this is with Dex 10 and a KNIFE SPEAR. Although the new "starting with winter clothes" thing is cool, it also gives you tons of extra encumbrance.

KNIFE SPEAR

A cudgel would be a billion more times effective, roughly. They're skeletons. What the hell are you trying to stab?

Nevermind. Next time I saw a skeleton, I dramatically doffed my coat and proceeded to OHK the skeleton with my trusty KNIFE SPEAR. Need to remember to do that in future.

So i run around, fetch a few goodies, fresh start btw. Everything is going fine, i can outrun zombies with some luck. I see a wall off zombie blocking the north road and no way im trekking back south since all the Z are there. Turn west between houses to get on the other road. right as i move out for the very narrow space between these 2 house my game hang for a second then i see something shooting me, bam explosion, again and again and again and again ( can i move now? ) and again and again x18.....

So i was running and a tank drone thingyshit shot me over 20 time wich finaly killed me without giving me a chance to do AYTHING at all like if i had -100 in speed... the heck was that? Is that a tank cannon or a frigging gatling gun shooting explosive 120mm shells? ( And NO ITS NOT A SUGGESTION!!! )...

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

From what I understand, it tends to shoot you with it's machine gun rather than it's 120mm cannon, unless your in a vehicle.

Well, you slash the ligaments holding its spine to its skull, flip the skull off, use the knife-spear to lift the skull up, and walk around for the rest of the game with Murray-on-a-stick to narrate your adventures and generally provide comic relief.

I think it has a smaller cannon as well, *shrug* tank drones are stupidly powerful anyway.

There needs to be one enemy that can wander around killing even powerful characters. If any moderately old character could walk across the map with utter impunity that would be kind of bad in a survival rogue-like. There needs to be SOMETHING you have to be wary of even if you're an uber character.

That said, maybe nerf the machine guns accuracy to give better fleeing odds. *shrugs*

A cudgel would be a billion more times effective, roughly.

In the end, my only friends are Knife Spear (who gets a fancy mid-season upgrade into Steel Spear) and Shopping Cart. There is nothing in the game that I can't beat with a healthy application of stabbing and/or running.

Check out some pawn shops and find a Rapier.  Shit's OP.
