Utterly Mad

I've been on a sandbox survival kick recently, its been a mix of DF, Rust, and The Forest for the past couple of days.

DF is an all around great game, but my only complaint is that its really slow, not like in terms of FPS because my PC can handle 1 good catsplosion. I mean more in terms of "progress", maybe its a newb thing, but I never feel like I'm getting anywhere in that game, like sure I can find Adamntine and then start the long process of that; but it feels like my dwarves are never doing anything, brewing drinks, hunting game, planting crops etc... and what makes it feel like the problem is much more worse then it actually is, is the constant stream of "Job Cancels" due to these three things: not enough [Plant] spawn, invalid path finding to return kill, can't brew crop due to lack of plant type.

It just feels that I take one step forward... off a cliff. I do have a nice fort going, and I have a military mobilized. Its just been a constant string of reading the WIKI and then going, "WHERE OR HOW DID I GO WRONG!?" Oh well, I guess that's DF in a nutshell.

Rust has also been getting progressively fun, my advice, stay off the Seattle server; the people on the Seattle server are a buncha Chinese and Korean pricks that shout things in broken English or their native tongue, expect you to drop to your knees and give them your shit, but they end up capping you anyway. Also most of the griefers and hackers seem to gravitate around Seattle. But I met some people on there that are pretty cool, apparently the name Manny Pardo either gets people riled up with either love or hatred. Needless to say, my few Rust lives have been way more successful on the Texas 2 server from 12AM-5AM, it wasn't until my buddies logged off that I quit the game.

Also they're adding female models into the game (this Thursday, they're in the code), and your body/panis size (no you can't change it, its like everything else, its a roll of the dice and perm-tied to your SteamID) in now in the game. I'm now a thin, anorexic, lanky Asian man with a small panis.

The Forest THIS GAME IS LIKE SILENT FUCKING HILL WENT, "HEY YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE GREAT!? IF WE PUT SILENT HILL IN A FUCKING NATURE RESERVE!" Why, the new sounds they added are like an instant 'Nope' button. I threw a rock into the woods to see if there were any natives in there, I got responses with throat singing, several loud screeches, and the insane giggling of a woman. Next thing I knew there were about 10 of the bastards running out of the treeline surrounding me and tearing me apart.

And now on my current life I've made it my active goal to NOT be seen. Which is even worse. So many times I was inches away from getting killed, these are some ugly looking bastards and they scare me like no game has before.

Its loads of fun, but due to me being a pansy I don't play it for that long before quitting. When I went in, I expected Robbaz-styled shenanigans, what I got was a phobia of being alone in the woods. 10/10 would crash my plane in Canada again.
