The devs originally designed this game as PvE, and then changed it to PvPvE before release. This literally proves that it is a PvE game. Make the change, and hardware / IP ban any player who has logged an amount of kills higher than what could reasonably be considered self defense, according to their time spent top side.

As it is this game rewards bad behavior. FBI statistics show that people playing violent / crime ridden video games are 13% more likely to commit those same crimes in real life.

Embark, use this game as a tool to better society, not enable and breed deceptive killers and thieves.

With that being said, I am retiring from this chaos and my wife’s boyfriend can suck it because he doesn’t own me anymore. I am reclaiming my life (4500 hours topside since release), and reclaiming my wife.

Been grinding my wife’s boyfriend’s account, looting containers, doing quests and every other game I get shot in the back or killed while extracting. I tell raiders in the prox chat im friendly, but they kill anyways. Dopamine addicts with bad character IRL.. It’s so bad that I even get ratted at raider hatches. Yesterday I screamed in frustration after a mic-less raider shot me while I was looting my bastion kill. I interrupted my wife and her boyfriend while they were having fun time. Boyfriend came in the room and gave me a talk.

Guess I’ll come back in October once they get this sorted out.

Anyone else had similar experience?

PvP isn’t for shooting people who have their heads in containers. If you don’t use your mic to issue a challenge or announce your intentions, you are a RAT and the reason this game is dead.

SCALE INGREDIENTS TO YOUR NECESSARY PORTION. If feeding a family you can 2x all of the ingredients and have plenty to go around. As a single male who works out I eat the portions below in one day.

Chipotle chicken pasta (pic in comments)

Cook 1 to 1 1/4 LB chicken breast how you prefer to. i use a slow cooker on high (I use chicken stock, just enough to cover the bottom of pot / salt, pepper, chipotle season, onion powder) takes about 1.5 hours for chicken to reach 170 degrees.

Cook noodles of your choice (I use sour 1/2 pound dough penne pasta)

Bring the following to a boil -

1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1/3 stick butter

Half a can of chipotle peppers with adobo sauce (cut approx 3-4 peppers up into pieces, pour in half of the juice)

Salt and pepper to your liking

Minced garlic

Once boiling, simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir through out. Add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir and simmer for another minute.

Add Pasta.

Shred chicken in pot by breaking it up with two forks, and then using a spatula to smash it until shredded. Add chicken to pot. Stir. Done.

10/10 for me taste wise.

I’ve been trying to be friendly. The dopamine of seeing a raider flare go off after mag dumping and the happiness I get from hearing them cry or hurl profanity at me, has been a difficult cycle of addiction to break.

Earlier, I was in a carebear lobby. A raider drops me a blue print. We chatted. I got quiet. The urges started to kick in. I mag dumped. He was slippery. Instead of chasing him for the finish, I ran the other way with my new blue print, with shame.

I revived a downed raider. Once I did, the urge kicked in. I swung my raider hammer at him. I didn’t stop until he was fully knocked.

I want to build my wealth in this game, but my unhealthy addiction of confrontation and chasing the dopamine of killing is depleting my stash. Any tips?

I just killed a guy with 2 bobcats.

He’s 14. I like a joke, but he has gone too far. His uncle used to do pranks with fake turds. My son thought it was hilarious. He started doing the same. He began using fart spray in combination with the fake turds.

Today I came into my room and there was a fake turd oh my bathroom floor next to the toilet. I picked it up and it mushed into my hand. Come to find out, this was not fake. I haven’t mentioned it to him yet because I am angry. What’s the appropriate response here?

My 10 year old has been doing this a lot lately. Every time she dirties her underwear she throws them away in the kitchen trashcan and I’ve told her not to do it. Last week the kitchen smelt horrible and I couldn’t figure out why until I dig through the trash and found a pair much worse than these.

What do I do in this situation? How do I potty train a 10 year old?

Example; a co worker (male) is behind me (male) and pats me on the back once while saying what’s up. Does the pat on the back indictate they are trying to be socially dominant?
