    It’s fine, he’s got the generator inside, he’ll die from carbon monoxide in like an hour.

      *laughs in DRM*

      Just because a game is single player doesn’t mean squat these days. If your computer cannot connect to server to authenticate the license at least periodically then you’re fucked.

      Unless you pirate or get it from GOG or other DRM-free sources. Steam DRM is at least indefinite so long as you have launched the game at least once though.

        I’ve heard that devs can disable steams DRM haven’t looked into it though, safer to just go with GOG when possible. Also why I haven’t gotten slay the spire 2 yet

    Burning a gas generator inside a bomb shelter? At least he won’t have to live with his disappointment for long.

    Why not opt for a solar panel and power bank combo?

      Could be diesel or propane either way wouldn’t have been hard to design a box for it to sit in so that the fumes could still go outside.

      After an apocalypse like that it’s unlikely that solar or wind would be very viable it would most likely be nuclear winter so that would stop both as solar is not going to get any sunlight and a windmill is going to require excessive maintenance to stay functional in that.

      The better bet would still be battery bank but battery bank with generator that way you’re not just wasting electricity since a generator is a demand-based response but still uses a set amount of fuel no matter what just to run you use the generator to charge up the battery Bank and then use the batteries only turning on the generator when they need to recharge

    That’s where the classics come in. Original FF7, the Metal Gear series, Burnout, Republic Commando. Hoard classics and you’ll never be bored.
