one day i'll make my blog look different

that was one spike trap. how the fuck did i land on that thing for it to get all four limbs at once.

there were like four leadbushes piled on top of each other for some reason. also a second orange corpse.

near-death-experience number one: stepping on a spike trap i didn't see going down the last bit of layer one and falling the rest of the way down, mangling both my arms. i didn't even try and save myself here (i wanted to get a screenshot but figured the few seconds i'd spend taking it would mean i'd lose too much blood to save myself, so i backed up my save and intended to just get the screenshot and reload for the ACTUAL attempt at saving myself), but last stand activated so. technically still alive! real shame to have used that up so early though.

fell and busted my arm again, found some braingrow, accidentally stepped on a bounce pad while i was distracted by what seemed to be four rolls of dressing all generating in the same spot (it was two and some stone fruit, must've gotten knocked loose by an earthquake or something), dislocated my arm, broke AND dislocated my foot, and shouted so loud in real life that my mom got concerned.

and then i fucking botched a landing again going into layer three.

backed up the save for the same reason as last time but thankfully it wasn't actually nearly as bad as it looked, so i had more than enough time to take the screenshot and patch myself up.

very nearly bled out to a sand stalker deciding i looked tasty right after though. only nearly though, thankfully i had a blood bag on me that i was able to use.

found a lifepod completely full of oil and systematically poked some holes in it to drain it without getting washed away.

and then, after ALL OF THAT (and also what i'm pretty sure was the first stroke i've ever actually gotten in my nearly 86 hours of playing this game, thank you braingrow/streptokinase/orange juice barrel), the thing that ACTUALLY kills me is me misinputting and drinking 100 ml of antirad while trying to fill a bottle with it four layer four, vomiting up everything edible and/or drinkable i had on me, and then proceeding to starve to death looking for more food after the overdose wears off. the oil isn't even actually what got me i think, i'm pretty sure i starved to death before drowning even became an issue. somehow desolate mode cannot even hold a candle to the consequences of my own stupidity.

cons of hoarding way too much bullshit: constantly having to shuffle my inventory around every time i find something new to cram as much useful shit in my inventory as possible. also constantly dropping things whenever i refill liquid containers. which leads me to the reason for today's post.

me, in the wasteland: okay sweet let's make some produce jui- [accidentally drops iv bag full of juice] oh shit my caprisun [drops down to get it]

the turret waiting offscreen that i thought i'd fall past fast enough: :)
