Zombie Cafe Optimization

In this game, one has a stupid zombie staff that one gets to serve disgusting meals to idiotic customers. Naturally, it was my favorite. Once a zombie chef finishes preparing a meal, they place the serving dish on a counter. From there, zombie waiters can obtain one serving of a meal to deliver to a seated customer. Since the amount of time it takes for a single customer to be served has a trickle down effect on the entire restaurant (quickly serving customers yields higher tips, rapid turnover increases profit and prevents customers from leaving angrily due to inadequate seating, extended service times increase the overall number of waiters needed to serve a steady flow of customers, etc.), obviously it is crucial to optimize this factor of game play. One element of the serving process that greatly affects service time is the location of the serving dish, since this modulates the amount of time for a stupid zombie waiter to obtain a disgusting dish, bring it t...

Kingdom of Loathing Crafting

This is me. Crafting is a large part of KoL (Kingdom of Loathing, a delightful browser-based, multiplayer role-playing game). As a disco bandit, i am skilled at the art of cocktailcrafting. There are many discoveries i've yet to make, so i need to keep track of what ingredients i need to acquire to make new drinks. The left column denotes the type of item i hope to discover. I've also got a Chef-in-the-Box which helps me cook fancy dishes. Green cells denote items i already have. Below is some of the equipment i possess, organized by type. The "Handed" column refers to the number of hands required to wield a weapon. Note that some weapons require three hands. Meat is the currency of the Kingdom of Loathing. If you combine some meat, you can make meat paste. With meat paste, you can glue other items together, creating familiars, gear, usables, etc. The parenthetical statements following some of the items describe the quests, locations, o...

Do you need juice!?

Have you ever said to yourself, "i should eat more fruits and vegetables...but Whataburger sure is great"? Me too! Well, my mom bought my cat and i vitamins for Christmas, which i think is her way of saying i am unhealthy. My Polish co-worker advocates eating primarily uncooked meats, and admonishes, "legumes are pretty much the worst thing you can eat." Netflix keeps reminding me that everytime i eat a hamburger, i am LITERALLY RUINING THE WORLD. And sad people in podcasts keep telling my passive ears that "exercise and eating right" will miraculously cure even clinical depression. One thing i can say though is that plants look awfully healthy. So...i should eat more of them...or any of them! You already know what a passion i have for finding and purchasing the cheapest food . But how do i consume it all before it spoils, when i often am gone at work 14 hours a day!? My recent acquisition of a refurbished juicer helps! And this' w...
