uhh
so i spotted about 5 unidentified small-ish creatures milling around and decided to sort out a whole weeks worth of lunch. they looked a bit like kwama foragers out of morrowind.
got me gun out and started shooting, but ran out of bullets and didnt know how to reload. hit escape to look up the reload button but this game for some reason doesn't pause when u do that. so, thinking quickly, i got my chainsaw out and started cutting them bastards down, they got me down to about 20% life but i killed them all. success! or was it
turns out one or more of the little blighters bit me and now i'm poisoned. tried the StomachPills(tm), they did nothing. tried using my emergency medikit, which boosted my life a bit but didnt sort the poison. so my life continued to tick away. tried eating my magnesium powder, that didnt work either. i think i needed some sort of special poison antidote which, like a lot of stuff, i forgot to pack
tomorrow i shall return armed with this knowledge
