It helped that server issues were minimal today.
Also, if you can get your hands on All Rise you will be able to literally crush your enemies

Sweet, sweet revenge
I went back to where that Diseased Gulper killed me. All by myself I decided to quit dicking around the forest and die like a God damn champion.
IT was level 48 and I'm 35. IT had no crown and was not legendary. IT had two friends that were 22s. Normally I'd take those odds, but these are Gulpers we're talking about and I kind of suck at this game
I took a few shots from a safe distance with my sniper rifle but they weren't having any of that shit.
Luckily the property had a couple of structures that seemed promising from a distance. I snuck to the first without incident but it had no decent vantage point to snipe. After taking a moment to check for loot (I need so many springs) I was immediately set upon by one of the smaller Gulpers.
The bad news news is in this post apocalyptic world I have much less love for animals than I do in real life. The good news is that thanks to adventuring with my good friend C I had a legendary super sledge.
Smashy smashy, no more Gulper gnash...y.
Sorry about that.
The second structure had a garage with a gaping hole in the wall but also a huge opening on another side where a garage door might go. But all is not lost... as long as the creatures have really crappy AI I'll be okay.
Thanks, Bethesda!
No seriously, thanks. I'm already overmatched by this game by the way it punishes me for pee breaks (I'm old and I drink a lot of water) and so I'm glad these creatures don't have push to text with their buddies or this would be yet another post about dying while carrying too much shit. But then again, not every creature in the Fallout universe is capable of a Jurassic Park velociraptor "clever girl" style attack. If they'd been high level ghouls chilling with a wendigo I might already be dead.
Definitely already dead.
I sniped at the other little one until he got too close and smashed him as well.
Now just the big guy was left. I know it wasn't the same Gulper that killed me several hours and 4 or 5 server disconnects ago but it was a Gulper who needed to die.
I started with grenades but I only had baseball grenades and I'm not as good with those as say any other grenade in the game... they roll like crazy.
So I tried to snipe but it would heal faster than I could reload and fire.
But sniping did get his attention so he started circling the garage. He didn't come in but I was trapped and none of my guns could drop his health faster than he was healing.
I got the idea to drop some mines but I only had two. I placed one at each possible entry to the garage and waited. The Gulper decided to do a mad sprint around the building and set them both off and took no damage.
At this point I could try to sneak away but I swear to God every time I try to pull that shit in fallout76 I just get jumped by a group of supermutants who kill my ass dead and then some.
I did mention I stuck at this game.
I had only one option.
Smash smashy.
It wasn't easy but I didn't even need to use a stimpack. Also, I was out of stimpacks. But this was the was by far the most fun I've had playing by myself and I'll tell you this - Gulper Slurry NEVER tasted so sweet.
No, no it doesn't. Just typng the word "Slurry" makes me want to yak.

Adventures in respawning
The other day I died while being overincumbered. I could only respawn at vault 76 which was really far away from where my friend was who was being attacked by some dillhole who was level 145 and decided after we helped him take down a scorchbeast queen and all that comes with it he should kill us too. Thanks, Bathesda! Oh yeah. He put me down hard even though he shot me way less than my friend. I'm just way better at dying than he is. I thought I had to agree to the whole pvp thing for that to happen but who cares at least I picked up some plans for some armor I'll probably get to craft three months from now if I play every day for 12 hours.
Well, today was way better because I was wearing my power armor and was not overincumbered. I got my ass killed by a diseased Gulper because of hubris and massive sucktitude at playing this game and was given just one place on the entire map to respawn. It happened to be at the place I just died but who cares, it always drops you far enough away from the action that you can run away before you are detected by the beast that just killed you. Bad news is the game decided I was overincumbered and said I could not respawn there.
So I could not respawn anywhere.
Because I was overincumbered. Because I have 25 Bobby pins and according to this game 25 Bobby pins is a shit ton of weight. Or probably because when I die, my power armor goes back into my inventory. 10 more pounds and I'm overwhelmed in the weight department so I had to leave the game and start up again.
10 minutes and one server disconnect later I'm back on the scene. I sneak up with my sniper rifle and have a look see at the beast who killed me. Now the diseased Gulper is 10 points stronger and has more friends.
Thanks Bathesda.

Death by Scorchbeast
A couple of days ago I spent three hours scrounging for materials to fix my armor and then wandered too close to a fissure and a scorchbeast killed me and wrecked my armor in 6 and a half seconds.
Good day.
Good day.
