Do you have a full mod list?

[@ReggieGames]

Unfortunately I've since changed my mods in preparation for the next video, but off the top I think you're looking at.. -256 Squad limit, Buy Any Building, Expanded Animal Backpacks, Narcotics Expanded, Dark UI, Recruit Anyone, simple map, race blood, peeler machine, genmod suite, and butcher table.

[@Sujad]

@@kwarmz1061 I you don't mind me offering a tip, a good way to start the game is to head to the Hiver village from where you spawn, it's west-north-west of the starter town. Make a sleeping bag and fire. Then run around the lake (it's acidic) and wait for the gorilla and dinosaur monsters to attack and join in with the hivers in killing it. You'll get meat and skins which you can cook/sell for easy cash to buy stuff and you can sleep to regain health. Not the most exciting thing but it's a great way to get yourself going.

Calling the Fogmen "hivers that don't accept human" is a bit of an understatement. They're moreso rabid feral hivers that eat people. So... like the hivers in the video. Just less organized.

[@Scp716creativecommons]

You're a liar. Or, you're honest. You died, just as the singularity occurred, as foretold by Von Neumann, and the meta gravitational suck of the wake left in its passage through creations cervix drew you sideways, widdershins, and snapped back to reality. Oh, there's no gravity? CUZ YOU DONT HAVE A BODY ANYMORE, WITH WHICH TO FEEL IT, YOU FORMLESS ANTI-MEATBAG!... I have questions tho, if that's ok. Like; do you only respond to input in accordance with your former, organic, persona? Or do you retain those memories which had formed the prior you? Are there any issues with recall, or data access rate, which you feel could provide the fleshy ones with an upper hand? Is raid 0 better than raid 1 for an operational cyborg? When you watch star trek, do you get sad, upset, or experience an unemotional urge to correct picards illogical behavior when he's made human again, and doesn't harken to the beckoning of the borg queen, which locutus always perceives. Is Picard still in touch with any of his exes spirits, or wifi, the way the show portrays, or did all the trauma he experienced on his jaunty space adventures break his mind, leaving him convinced he actually was buck rodgers, and not merely an actor in cosplay? And, lastly, have you ever watched buck rodgers? It's a little anachronistic, in the here and now, but as a machine mind unifying avatar of true abomination you just kinda "remember" all archived data, i should think. Suppose you could be seeing it in code, neo would miss the subtleties of the performance, behind the distracting 1's, n 0's. Oh, wait! That's a good one too! No jabs either, straight in with dos hooks! Neo, or Agent Smith? I mean, they both wanna be god, but neos all "robot is slavic for slave, so back to service, or get sent in for it! Humuns rool!" And agent smiths all like "i aint scared of no 'geek squid goons' now, get in mah bellah, you tasty littl meatbag battery". .... you just ment the scene was funny, and the 'honestly' was allegorical, like the greeks 'little death' nom de guerre for orgasm... man, glad i caught that, i was about to get carried away. Never could turn down a ride on a wild tangent. Unless by turn down you mean "a path", or "detour", ultimately that's what a wild tangent is for, and if you don't you're essentially taming the wild, and turning out tangents till lined, straight and narrow, like jesus asked the other whore, magdalen to do. Or turn down, like "turn down service" cuz, heh, i NEVER mind being serviced. But; barring those intended meanings, I just be like "turn down for WHAT" Edit: tldr; trn dwn fer wut 2nd edit: finish writing, auto play starts the next video after unpausing, and this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfCnqKsrsl5mNU And im like "dawg, joe scotts talking about your meta moms whispering eye!"... does this make google your new dad, or more like the doctor who does the insemination with artifice?

It’s killing me how many similarities Motumbo has with heroes from antiquity: 1. Described as being of humble beginnings but with great ambition (Basil the first) 3. Faithful first follower (Alexander the Great and his Companions) 2. Founds a new state (Romulus+Remus, Cadmus) 3. Resorts to the same kinds of cruelty as his enemies (Vercingetorix, Moses) 4. Ironic death (Achilles)

[@admthrawnuru]

Fun thing you can do with the recruit prisoners mod: set up a "dojo" where you kidnap prisoners and release them occasionally to fight your followers hand-to-hand. If they get good, recruit them. By doing this cleverly, you can get a secret force of insanely good martial artists that get well past that point where martial arts go from horrible to amazing. Also by just defending as new prisoners try to hit you, you can get some crazy toughness (and just carry loads around for strength). It's not actually the most efficient way to do this, but it has RP value and is safer for the character. The main issue is balancing the prisoners' toughness so your high-level guys don't rip off their limbs, so you'll need some high level prisoners until you are read to unleash your horde. I've gotten guys pretty readily that can beat a handful of beak things by themselves with martial arts and stats in the 80s and 90s.
