I have this problem whenever I start a new game on Project Zomboid. I call it the death spiral. I spawn into a house but the loot containers don't have any useful weapons. So, I walk outside to go searching, and inevitably attract the attention of some zombies. This means I can't stop to search other buildings, so I have to keep walking... which attracts more zombies, which means I have even less time to search, and so on. If only there was some way to guarantee the presence of certain objects and resources.

So I decided to try it with mine. Obviously it’s not an ideal experience. Just wanted to see if it would work,” they said. View the full article

You know the drill. The match is getting heated, the chat is blowing up, and all eyes seem to be on you. You’re doing your best—running heals, dodging enemy fire, trying not to scream when your diver throws themselves into the fray with no backup—but somehow, it’s still your fault when the team wipes. This is the life of a Strategist main in Marvel Rivals, where the blame game is a time-honored tradition. While Strategists are used to shouldering a lot of responsibility, Reddit user Thanos-Is-Right (interesting choice of username) has had enough of the endless complaints about their pick. Taking to the Marvel Rivals subreddit to air their frustrations after a rough 13-minute match, Thanos-Is-Right talks out their teammates insisting they swap to a “better” Strategist because, apparently, picking Loki is a “throw” choice.
