Thanks for that, but I decided to switch back to 081 where the commands aren't active

This would be much better

Waited till noon, did not despawn. Gave up.

I've never made alcohol before, and I'm on day 9. Even if I did know how to make alcohol, it might take a long time to go out on the map, gather the things, and make my first bottle when I'm at 0 stamina and falling over every 7 seconds.

TLDR: Stop disabling the 'Esc' key. It's immature and will reduce your market share.

Before sundown, I was unable to save. This continued to THIS:

I alt-tabbed out, and heard myself S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep"  S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep"  S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep" S:0.0 THUMPABUMPBUMP "I don't want to sleep"

And continued onward to THIS:

Krampus slapped me MANY times. He put me into a nightmare only once, a few minutes before the second image.

I downloaded my first black hole during this time. I wanted to SEE and HEAR it. 

So I lost all my progress since sundown before this day.

Can we just allow "savescumming" until we're at full release?

I've seen this with other video games. Here's a reality. It's "savescumming" vs peeing. It's "savescumming" vs pooping your pants. It's "savescumming" vs catching your child before they start lighting mortars. It's "savescumming" vs answering the door for the SWAT team. It's "savescumming" vs leaving your house before evacuating from the wildfires.

A single-player open-world game that forces us to make these choices is a game we don't start playing in the first place.

I have seen forum posts in other games, OP: "Hey can we just pause the game so we can pee or something?" Reply: "Getting paid to work from home while playing this?" Reply: "What's wrong, dad came home drunk again?" Reply: "You shouldn't be playing games if you're popping out crumb crunchers" Reply: "Stop playing this game if you have to monitor your IV drip" I HAVE SEEN POSTS LIKE THIS.

A single-player open-world game with mechanics that accomodate people in the "Reply" posts above and exclude people in the "OP" above is one that many people won't start playing in the first place. They will see forum posts and just not buy it.

This is a single-player open-world experience. Let us experience it the way we want. We can take pride in "not savescumming" ourselves, record it on video, and gloat. Or not. Real-time attentiveness and consequences we can't take back don't need to be part of the experience if we don't want it. 

Please, Godz please. Stop disabling the 'Esc' key. A single-player open-world experience has no reason not to have a hard interrupt pause. People over 12 years old actually want to like the game. The design of the technology is appealing to people who have worked with PDP-11s and old batch loading systems, and the job routine reminds them of those days.  They're not going to tollerate being forced into behaving like teenagers who drink one Monster an hour. People younger than this are taken back to a time they never lived in the first place so they can experience it for the first time. But they're just going to quit.

Make an 'Esc' key with no exceptions. Please. 

And the Konami code exists for a reason.

Can I wake up at 12:01am?

It's after 8am, and Krampus won't go away. He's knocked me down 10 times. He doesn't put me in a nightmare, just slap, red, on the ground. I'm at 0 stamina, and Kel refuses to sleep even after falling over at 0 stamina. I went from midnight to morning, had to alt-F4 out and go to REAL sleep
