This is a fantastic article - I wish I had known this guide when I was young. I liked it so much, I sent a link to my teenage son. However, if you would not mind, could this be edited so my teeanage daughter would also enjoy it? Unless, of course, she wants to be a "ladies magnet" - I support her life choices. But if we want more women entrepreneurs, we should encourage them to follow a path like this without the possible sexism.

While I think that you're heart is in the right place, an expectation that personal advice be written in a gender-neutral environment is excessive. Oliver is a man (I presume) writing a guide based on his experience.

Small things that should be mentioned about this game, so far i have played;

- Multiplayer is the only option you can select.

- There is no pause button.

- Your character is truly random selected so expect anything.

- There is only one map which is way too big, I haven't had time to go most of the places yet but not complaining.

- You only have one chance to survive the game, no 'save the state' option.

It is a unique game with unique rules. I like it!

Actually no, it's more like PRNG. Which stands for Predictably Random Natural Genetic.

Lack of save state is really bad though. Also humans are hard to grasp. Really poor UI.

How many of you clicked on the 'PRESS START' and then started to wonder if it's actually a key and realized you have no idea what you are doing like life itself.

Only 19,345 days remaining in your life (assuming there's no way to extend life beyond 80 in my life time and still be solid) how depressing is that? The only thing that now makes sense is go full out Skyrim, raids and pillaging, indulging in hedonism and a senseless pursuit of scarce material goods.

On another note, this site seems like a personal therapist. When I read one article I just feel calm and excited depending on the article. It's a freaking goldmine of life hacks.
