Kenshi - The TORSO SQUAD Experience #1

[@adrianoaten3410]

imagine being a guard minding your buisness, sometimes you see some shady characters coming in and out of town but its usually just civilians, more often than not people you know, until one day you just see an army of amputees in the distance slowly approaching your town and once they arrive just start selling a bunch of animal teeth

[@fadhli179]

An amputee selling animal teeth was dangerous. They can take that teeth without limbs, imagine what they can do with limbs

[@dusparr]

@Vean Studio making eye contact is pretty hard? You have to basically lie down to level with them

[@ronnychristenjoyer6778]

yep, that's Kenshi for ya

Also on the way in they swarmed over a skimmer corpse and devoured it raw like a swarm of piranhas.

I like how AA could probably unironically run a cult or something if he wanted

[@apotato6278]

In my experience great speakers tend to choose 1 out of 2 paths. Either 1) They crave power and fame and so use their gift to manipulate the masses. Think politicians, cult leaders, well paid public speakers etc. or 2) They use their gift selfishly to humor themselves. Think hobby comedians, skilled class/office clowns etc. AA falls into the 2nd category. He probably laughed quite a bit making this. Seeing a gaggle of limbless men shuffle through the desert as some sort of semi-religious David Attenborough parody narrates their harsh journey is hilarious in a profound, almost surrealistic way. You're entirely right budder, he could run a cult. He could do it but he chooses not to since he has more fun this way.

Here is a tip of everyone trying to level up stealth and strength. You can shift left click while on the map and your character will chain his movements together. So if you shift left click 3 times in three different locations you can path your characters. This is really useful for early levels and might help yall out a lot lol.

[@stupidrainbo]

When you talked about 12mph being constant 5 minute miles, it reminded me of an interesting math fact I discovered when I was running all the time. You can interchangeably divide 60 by a number, and the result will be the other. One number is speed in mph, the other will be your mile time. So if you run 5 miles per hour, divide 60 by 5 and you get 12, which is a 12 minute mile. If you run 12 miles per hour, divide 60 by 12, and you get a 5 minute mile. If you ran a 10 minute mile, divide 60 by 10, and you ran 6 miles per hour. If you ran a 6 minute mile, divide 60 by 6, and you ran 10 miles per hour. Oh, and when Eliud Kipchoge set the record for the marathon, his average speed was 13.16 mph.
