    AAAAAH! Now I get it.... I have electrical current and cables.... I'd cut them apart and try to light a fire.... Then I'd fail and try to strangulate THEM

    THEY are your inner demons. you dont set yourself on fire, but do begin strangling yourself however they go quiet before you pass out. your mind is clear, you reached enlightenment. every time you close your eyes God sits before you on his throne and tells you that you are the first to truly reach enlightenment and are worthy of taking his seat...but do you?

    There's a challenge thing for Project Zomboid that is literally this (and then some; you start with 1 tile. every kill permits you to move into 1 more tile) so if "they" are slow, shambling zombies i'd probably just use the same strats for that: Hope only 1 comes, knock it down, and stop its head. Then run like a mofo.

    you got em. but your airco was running linux too and it doesnt work coz you keep copy pasting code from github. your feet are no longer frozen in place, but you'll never feel your toes again.

    I pause my RE4 game, rip out the battery out of my steam deck, disassemble my phone's battery, then when "they" come, i punture the batteries with a scizzor, throw the batteries at them, say "Hasta Luego" pretending it was a barrel of explosives. (and hope the batteries explode)

    Extra hard for me, because I lie in bed with Long Covid. But luckily there is an electrical outlet and a multitool right next to me. I strip one of my extension cords and can use it to electrocute them. Thanks to shoddy work the breaker won't flip.

    The off hand is wielding the multitool. I just have to decide between the pliers for crowd control and the knife for extra lethality.

    THEY are figments of your imagination due to the fever you are running. your mum comes in with chicken soup and sees you fighting imaginary demons. you survive, but your mum tells the story every christmas for the rest of your life.

    With a bit of luck I can reach one of my swords. If not, bash in the first one's head with a skateboard or stab them with a pocket knife, then move a step and grab a sword. Maybe some armor if I can manage to get to the other room.

    Edit: I tried it and could indeed reach a viking sword from where I'm sitting.

    the swarm of radical yet safety conscious teacup piglets are wearing helmets. so the skateboard doesnt kill em. but the pocket knife is effectively a sword to them and they die by your hand. you survive and now have enough bacon until the next onslaught

    I attempt to shatter my ceramic coffee mug and fashion a makeshift shank. I biff it, hit an artery, bleed out. I declare victory from beyond the veil on the grounds I prevented them from killing me

    i use my 27 inch monitor as a shield while using my logitech joystick as a cudgel. if needed, i use my steam deck as a throwing weapon and short the battery of my Vape to use it as a fragmentation grenade.

    THEY are your twitch chat. youve been streaming to 0 people just waiting for 1 measely viewer. finally you get raided. you try to be open, but your hiding your authenticity behind your monitor. you start to get nervous as more viewers stream in. not knowing what to do you turn to gimmicks and try playing kingdom come 2 with a joystick. the chat is hype training. but its not enough for you. you decide youll make a clip that you can make a short from as marketing for future streams. you pretend to get angry and throw your steamdeck across the room hitting your vape that explodes. the clip is epic, but a twitch mod gets jelly of your success and bans your account. the chat is dead, your career as a streamer is dead. but at least your not vaping anymore.

    My best bet within arm's reach is a 25-pound dumbbell. I think I can make it work.
