i mean there's permadeath and tons of random shit that can kill you instantly if you're not careful

and if in the event that reincarnation does exist in some form, when you do start again you've lost all your skills and could end up spawning in an awful part of the world or something

I can't seem to figure out how to level up though ...

I think you're spending too much time here. Go, be with your family.

Sheet, and thats tinyE saying you have gone off the rails too!

too much kool aid man

'normal' is too much work these days. *sigh*

False, life is far more predictable than any video game.

Damn, and there was me thinking that hiding in the basement was enough to get me through this game ... Are there any cheats?

lots of cheats!

camping stoves, matches (instead of rubbing 2 sticks together), GPS instead of compass and having to learn orienteering, and many many more!

note: if you bypass the cheats and go the older-route (get a compass and map and learn orienteering), however, you will gain even MORE experience, depending on the decisions made/routes taken
