... aren't diet drinks generally even worse for you than the normal ones? I don't remember the particulars of it (or if I even checked at some point in the past), but that's definitely something I see noted pretty regularly.

Looks like it might be possible, at least. Near as I can tell the thing's mostly coded in python (the demo, at least.), so barring encryption/obfuscation stuff (don't remember if I've got python editing junk on this computer, too lazy to open one of the files and check) reverse engineering and editing (i.e. modding) should be doable.

Cursory searching definitely didn't find any, though. Might take a while longer, don't think the game's been out/well(ish) known for very long.

My jaw is killing me. I think I have some sort of ear infection, but the right joint of my jaw is incredibly painful. Can't eat or talk, drugged up on painkillers and alcohol... Actually it might have been a bad idea to mix those two.
*raises hand* That... maybe? Would recommend doctor, but that almost sounds kinda' like the same symptoms I was getting with a sinus headache. Thought I had an ungodly toothache, turned out it... wasn't. Pain all up and down one side of my face, particularly concentrated in the jaw and temple. Maybe try something over the counter tailored for that, if it's an option. Or go see a doctor. Consult someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about and can gauge symptoms in person.

Painkillers and alcohol together probably are a bad idea, though. Most pain meds I've seen pretty specifically state "Do not drink while taking this"... couldn't say why, though. My thought process regarding medical stuff tends to start and stop at "follow directions", once the second opinion and whatnot stuff is taken care of. One pays out ass for expertise, one takes said advice. Otherwise no grounds for lawsuit if advice goes tits up, haha!

I vaguely remember those two being youtube things. Google seemed to think so, too.

Shh. Keep it on the down low. America's greatest non-secret is that it's being powered by the literally revolutionary disgust of its deceased founding fathers. We only charge for power to maintain the illusion for the rest of the world.

... y'know, after look at that thing about four times, I only just now noticed it has a, like, bacon combover.

Looks like pretty tasty bacon, too...

Still. The concept of cthulhu with porcine pattern baldness is... something.

Ah awesome! I apparently don't read enough of the right things, I've heard of those experiments but never had a decent summary of the results. Still a pretty big crapshoot to get the right things though.
Billions of years, millions upon millions (upon millions (upon millions(etc.))) of individual dice rolls. If it's happened once, the crapshoot is seriously in the favor of it happening more times. Space is just big, is all, and our ability to find things still relatively nascent in regards to sifting through it.

Fanfiction ♫

Even for people who don't read it. Its influence spreads out and infects the memetosphere.

Or was it the other way around? Symptom, or cause? Eh.

Special set rooms. That's pretty close to it, iirc. Usually there's a door (that you have to confirm, in order to enter) but I'm 99.9% certain even the ones that don't (like those 3x3 gold rooms with some critters in it, ferex, or those larger forest vaults with a honey tree in the middle, stuff like that) qualify. If you want to be sure, stick to the ones that require confirmation to enter. Dump stuff in there, at least until you hit the actual storage room.

E: If you really want to be sure, anything defined in ..\game\modules\tome-<version>.team\data\maps\vaults\ should work. Plus some other stuff, haha!

Eesh, cart before horse and whatnot. Or something. My memory's telling me they've already ran the numbers and found that the whole "petty checkup" thing (i.e., preventative care) is a net benefit when dealing with the deadlier things (both in terms of overall bottom line and effectiveness! It's great.), as well (since they get caught in petty checkups, before they're life and pocket-destroying).

Which, y'know, makes me think the driving force isn't actually... well, no, it would be to shift money from paying for petty checkups into the big four, just at a higher overall cost and lower overall effectiveness. Which, hey. Wonder who's profiting from the change, and how deep their lobby (equivalent... dunno if/what the korean style of that stuff is) pockets were :-\

Ha ha ha! Welcome to our hell, Sky! Hope you're not in the lower income brackets!

... seriously though, got any details? Can't help but be curious how they've decided to shaft you poor folks.

... I'd disagree. Anything that overtly screws with your ability to, y'know, do things (think, see, feel, etc.), isn't something you can call good, under any circumstance. At best (as in opiates and whatnot) they might be better than a worse alternative (pain, et al), necessary for survival, or maybe amusing (but gods know I've never heard of one that sounded anything resembling that, for me) but a direct detriment est, pretty much regardless. And recreational drugs kinda' are. Temporarily, with the best of them, but others less so.

S'bad stuff some people use as entertainment or medical assistance of some sort. There's a lot of stuff like that. Personally, so long as it doesn't extend to harming people around them, I don't really consider it worth censure, m'self, but... yeah. Some things are bad (directly and overtly harmful/disruptive to the system they're introduced to). Maybe able to be used to stop worse things, but...

... do wish I could cobble together a decent hobosuit. Maybe see if anyone's modded in a Gogo outfit or sumtin'. Plenty of rags and scruffy bits, that's the way to go.

No kidding, if I sunbathe too much, I get these brown spots all over my body, especially in the face and neck, and then everybody asks me if I had a disease (can't remember it's name) that leaves those marks on you after it hits.
Brown spots all over your body...

... you mean freckles? Sounds like maybe they were talkin' 'bout measles, or some form of pox.

... no, that's pretty much exactly true. Universally, even, not just on average. What you call addicting yourself to something that's not absolutely necessary for survival (e.g. food, water, medically necessary drugs) is "stupid", especially when there's major downsides (such as it being illegal or have serious side effects/withdrawal symptoms) involved. Not really anything else you can call that.

Smart people can be pretty stupid, pretty often. Intelligence and stupidity are not exclusive conditions.
