I had a nightmare ...

... and in it, a bunch of random-ass crap happened, but the thing I actually remember about it is that I said something incredibly, ridiculously stupid and got myself banned from these forums. I am a terrible geek. I think the reason it'd bother me is because this is honestly one of the best communi...

Re: Don't Starve - initial thoughts and opinions

Surprise Tentacles sounds like the kind of a movie I'm not allowed to watch at work. ;) I hunted a Koalefant right before winter started on my most recent playthrough, and I made me a breezy vest. That plus my winter hat makes it so I can go for miles without freezing. Still have not made a heat st...

Re: Don't Starve - initial thoughts and opinions

I've finally overcome my fear of swamps. Like everything else, the solution is pretty much to not take unnecessary risks. Also, a grass suit seems to be adequate to ensure survival if I'm careful. So far I'm really liking Wendy - I like her in general and Abigail has saved my bacon from beefalo in h...

Re: what's the problem with potions ??

But some of the best changes are deliberately left out of the changelog and also cannot be found on the wiki!

Maybe he's right. >)

Re: Don't Starve - initial thoughts and opinions

Mm, I rarely have problems actually collecting the reeds - it's surviving the swamp, period.

And then the swamps I come across have like two reeds in them total and it makes me sad.

I've come to the conclusion that I should never enter a swamp with anything less than a suit of logs.

Re: Don't Starve - initial thoughts and opinions

Basically every death I've ever experienced in this game is due to taking risks I shouldn't have. Very much like Better than Wolves! I made it to Day 24 and experienced my first winter ever! And then I decided I absolutely had to have a bird cage and it just couldn't wait until summer. The search fo...

Re: Don't Starve - initial thoughts and opinions

Bought this game today. It is remarkably fun! I have not gotten past day 12, I don't think. My most recent death, I was in a cluster of beefalo on a very short night trying to shave one, only then accidentally I speared it in the face. They sent me back to the touchstone I found. I was promptly murd...

Neko's Stream

I figure I'll place this in Off-Topic specifically because I tend to stream a lot of different stuff. I was updating under BTW Livestreamers, but frankly I don't always stream BTW (though it's the only MC mod I play). For instance, due to the buzz I was seeing about Don't Starve, I decided it would ...

Re: BTW Livestreamers

Planning to be streaming for the next bit. My nooblets finally complained enough to get me to turn off HCS until we're all much, much better at the game, and I turned off HC Player Names as well, since it's coop. Not sure how I feel about these developments. We'll see. http://www.twitch.tv/nekhs Edi...

Didn't you know? There are no females on the internet. ;)

No, but it's all right. I'm pretty new to posting frequently on the forums as well, so it's not something that should be treated as well-established fact.

Thanks for your feedback!

Re: [32x] Derivation [BTW 4.67]

I think I'll be using this on my stream. From the original TP author's front page, I understand that credit isn't 100% necessary for videos/images. I assume the same is true here? It's hard for me to set up a MOTD or something similar on my stream because I'm a nooblet. So if anyone asks me, I'll be...

That's actually Mom's suggestion - assign the poor guy chores like lumberjacking and such. Then again that's pretty much all we can trust him with: more complex tasks end up with him dying, ending up in the middle of nowhere, and crying for me to use my admin powers to save him - which I refuse to d...

Re: Most Common uses for Cauldrons

Cauldrons used to be amazing for item collection! I remember my first semi-auto dung farm using a cauldron because I hadn't yet gotten a saw, much less a hopper. Now the iron could be better used elsewhere, and by the time you have a good supply of iron you likely also have access to hoppers. I'll a...

How many good games have the difficulty level selected at random before you begin? In such a case there is no 'player skill' in being able to 'milk the meta knowledge of village spawning' there is either a village that you find within the first day or three, or you've got to go down the no village ...

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Can't wait to see the new textures. I'm miles away from that kind of technological advancement because of my recent horrible demise (I was beaten to death with my own door because I'm dumb enough to still use them sometimes), but I have faith that you did it right. :)

Thank you, FC! I'll update that comment when I get home so as to avoid confusion. Could someone update the wiki on Hardcore Bone to include that if it's not already there and I'm just blind?

Thanks for all the feedback and advice! I agree that bows are useful weapons - if you happen to come across string. Mom only had two string so she made a fishing pole instead.

Re: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Surviving Better Than Wolve

So another tip I think I'll throw in here: Don't use wooden doors for anything if you want to live. My mining operation just got compromised because I was lazy and just put in a door, while for my farm I used wool blocks.

And now I'm dead miles and miles away.

Mom is in the habit of building hobbit holes with glass windows, so that works for her, but yes, I agree that is a potential problem.

Re: BTW Livestreamers

Since own3d went defunct I've been using http://www.twitch.tv/nekhs for my streaming. Since BTW updated, I'm able to play it again! So that's a thing.

I'm streaming live now. It's interesting.
