Utterly Mad

In kenshi, the engine update has come and a patch was released to fix some major issues that it caused, so all is well again. The better FPS allowed me to make a journey into areas that I could not before. Being empowered by the freshest of frames, I went north into the flood lands where my party managed to avoid contact with any iron spiders. Beyond the floodlands, I encountered the desert known as "purple sands" and met, for the first time, the fabled and feared "beak things." imagine a giraffe with elephant feet, a thick carapace on it's back, and a giant serrated beak where it's snout should be. I had no trouble avoiding the beak things because they are huge and easy to spot. In purple sands I found an abandoned post-ancient workshop loaded with locked chests. One in particular proved troublesome. This is when things got a bit tricky. Outside the workshop, a beak thing walked by and was suddenly jumped by a horde of cannibals! The cannibals, finding their shit being utterly wrecked by the beak thing decided to break away and come after my group. For an in game day, I ran around and away from the workshop only to find myself in "The screaming forest." I managed to break pursuit with all but 2 cannibals so I turned to fight only to have the cannibals inexplicably vanish. I made my way back to the workshop and spent half and hour trying to pick a lock with only 1% chance of success. Upon finally threading the needle and hitting that 1%, I found the chest loaded with the fattest of fat loot. engineering research, a generator core, and CPU units. valuable stuff, but heavy as fuck and I had a dangerous journey ahead. I took everything and started out, making my way out of purple sands and into the screaming forest where the adventure went from "tricky" to "painful." The screaming bandits seemed friendly enough, at first, until I failed a speech test which involved screaming at them. I fled the screaming forest, battered and bruised but none the worse for wear. My previous journey through the floodlands had made me bold to it. I should have kept my humility. The iron spider is an interesting thing. They seem slow at first, until they notice you. Then they somehow pick up speed, and come charging at you to hit you so hard that your characters ragdoll and are thrown, unconscious, well out of aggro range. My party had it's shit kicked in four times as we tried to cross the flood lands, being scattered like bowling pins by a pissed piece of ancient machinery has a way of doing that though. As my party limped it's way out of the floodlands, a single dog decided it wanted to piss on something and so came at my guys and wrecked them just as hard as the spiders had. The profits were well worth it though, I netted enough cash to buy one of the most expensive houses in worlds end.

For as painful as the adventure was though, at least the game ran with a smooth FPS the entire time.

I think I'm gonna buy Kenshi now

This is a mod for Doom 2. I think I showed some old old footage last year, around the time dragon arrived.

Well, take a look at that link I posted and see what that's all about then. It's a free mod and only requires GZDoom and the Doom2.WAD to play.

Wow, from the screenshots, that looks impressive.

Meanwhile on Github, Diet Granola Bar derails discussion in a PR to talk about how CDDA has driven off too many contibutors, then to talk shit about Rivet, then locks discussion when I point out that his attitude is out of line. :V

Diet Granola Bar sounds like the type of idiot who should go fuck himself with a spiked steel dildo up the ass...but that's probably my bad mood talking.

I get the distinct feeling he may be an arse.

He's basically Coolthulhu's evil twin, based of his squidicon.

So Uncoolthulu then?
