Elec: is zombiemesh happy with zombie lore yes yes
ZombieMesh: I'm happy that is exists, but the lore itself is kinda meh
Elec: daw
Elec: butwhs
ZombieMesh: Needing to eat everyday is dumb. Humans dont even need to eat everyday, and a zombie isn't going to be using as much energy as humans
Elec: did you read the rest of the sentence=
Elec: ?
Elec: XD
ZombieMesh: Yes I did
ZombieMesh: but suspended animation or w/e shouldnt happen after a day
Elec: but it is happening already after a day
Elec: it's basically the sleep you are seeing
ZombieMesh: Why would a zombie sleep?
Elec: because play hl2 and see how many zombies seem to wake up from a sleep when you come near?
Elec: we're also utilising that mechanic time from time in the slums
Elec: it's inefficient to walk around all day when there's no available prey
ZombieMesh: That doesnt mean it's been only a day. It could  mean that a food source isn't nearby and it's run out of energy, but running out of energy after a day means that zombies themselves are super inefficent and there'd be no reason for headcrabs to us humans
ZombieMesh: it could also be a defense mechanism
Elec: a day means they can run 24h fully active
ZombieMesh: Zombies frrom DeadSpace play dead
ZombieMesh: Any actual zombie in any zombie story can last way longer than a day
ZombieMesh: and HC zombies arent fast
Elec: " there'd be no reason for headcrabs to us humans"
Elec: thee reason is, the only lifeform that exists in huge amounts on earth anymore
Elec: is humans
ZombieMesh: then why dont they just eat them?
Elec: because headcrabs existed in a different place where infection went bettere
Elec: and they didn't evolve over night to just eat humans?
ZombieMesh: they can eat watermelons
ZombieMesh: which
ZombieMesh: dont exist on their planet
Elec: you don't need to have something on your planet exist
Elec: to be compatible with it
Elec: (though I have no idea wheere you got that watermelon thing from)
ZombieMesh: Actual HL2?
ZombieMesh: Lamar eats watermelons
Elec: *shrug*
ZombieMesh: and its proven they are omnivores
Elec: 23:37 - Elec: you don't need to have something on your planet exist
23:37 - Elec: to be compatible with it
ZombieMesh: so why wouldnt they just eat humans and plants if taking over a human is a burden for them?
Elec: because instinct tells them to infect, developed over decades from infecting stronger lifeforms in other areas?
Elec: a headcrab is an animal, not sentient
Elec: he can't just go "oh human race is weak, let's all collectively decide not to infect!"
Elec: additionaly infection is required for reproduction
Elec: so to increase their numbers they need to infect anyway
ZombieMesh: No, headcrabs dont need to infect to reproduce
ZombieMesh: headcrabs dont reproduce that way
ZombieMesh: they are born from the big headcrab from hl1
Elec: they do here
Elec: additional the big headcrab thing kinda got redconed in hl2
Elec: and the black headcrab suggests that infection is a secondary method of reproduction
ZombieMesh: Even if they need to infect to reproduce, the lore is just kinda bad. I understand you're going to defend your lore, but the points your making so far dont convince me
ZombieMesh: -shrug-
Elec: well
ZombieMesh: sorry dude
Elec: they're logical points
Elec: so going "they don't convince me"
Elec: is rather bad
Elec: either they work
ZombieMesh: A zombie needing to eat everyday means that they will all go into suspended sleep after a day and never move and there'd be close to zero threat
Elec: or they do not work
Elec: that's why they go to suspended sleep sooner? to be able to wake up when prey is nearby?
ZombieMesh: also, why would other zombies in a devestated been asleep and some arent?
Elec: it said they go to sleep when there is no prey
Elec: not that they go to sleep when their energy oges zerpo
Elec: because some zombies found food
ZombieMesh: zombies are active in ravenholm when no one is nearby
Elec: others didn't?
Elec: actualy one guy is neraby
ZombieMesh: then why arent they all awake?
Elec: and constantly pisses them off
Elec: 23:42 - Elec: because some zombies found food
23:42 - Elec: others didn't?
ZombieMesh: why wouldnt they constantly be at them
Elec: because they are not cooridinating over a swarm intelligence?
ZombieMesh: the lore says headcrabs are intelligent as dogs, and dogs can communicate
Elec: impyling that intelligene is all you need to actually tell the others you found food
ZombieMesh: No, but headcrabs would probably comminicate because they are weak as a singular entity
Elec: sure, maybe? still don't see why a limit of 24h unsuspended activity is impossible
ZombieMesh: Because headcrabs would die off as a threat super quick
Elec: not really, no food avaiable to make the next 16 hours
Elec: go to sleep
Elec: wait till food is there again
Elec: continue
ZombieMesh: from a species standpoint, they would fall to narutal selection very quickly
ZombieMesh: what if food never comes
Elec: then their area is dead
Elec: and they had no chance of survival anyway?
ZombieMesh: Regular zombies move from dead areas
ZombieMesh: well
ZombieMesh: some
Elec: implying that before the zombies infected the complete planet
Elec: you didn't have more than enough food
Elec: to cover a cross continent trip
Elec: or that they had to make that trip in the first place
Elec: because they got teleported all over the globe
ZombieMesh: ??
Elec: before almost all species on earth died and humanity got reduced by like 90%
Elec: there was more than enough food
Elec: that you could keep going until literally the city you are in and all neighbouring cities are empty
ZombieMesh: Eating a bunch of humans wouldnt multiply your energy reserve. The difference between eating 10 humans in one day and eating 100 doesnt matter., because they'll eventually reach a cap where they get nothing from it
Elec: great
Elec: that means we can sustain even more headcrabs!
Elec: your point?
ZombieMesh: so zombies in a devasted area need to be able move from said area to get food
ZombieMesh: but one day of energy is stupid
Elec: then say how much days you want?
Elec: instead of complaining?
ZombieMesh: also why are headcrab zombies using up more energy than a regular
ZombieMesh: im not complaining
ZombieMesh: i made a statement, you defended it, and rebutted it
Elec: yes you are, instead of going to me and simply asking to increase it to like a week
Elec: stating you had a fear that the headcrab wasn't capable of finding its next target in 24 hours
Elec: you came here and went
Elec: "lore is meh"
Elec: "this is shit"
ZombieMesh: I didn't
ZombieMesh: You asked
Elec: which makes it actually even worse
Elec: instead of working with me
Elec: you remained silent
ZombieMesh: ?
ZombieMesh: You asked me personally if I got the post
ZombieMesh: and I responded
ZombieMesh: and then you asked why i made that response
Elec: exactly
Elec: 23:48 - Elec: yes you are, instead of going to me and simply asking to increase it to like a week
23:48 - Elec: stating you had a fear that the headcrab wasn't capable of finding its next target in 24 hours
23:48 - Elec: you came here and went
23:48 - Elec: "lore is meh"
23:49 - Elec: "this is shit"
Elec: lore is meh
ZombieMesh: No, you asked what i thought about the lore
ZombieMesh: and i told you
ZombieMesh: what i thought
Elec: is the quickest way to psis somebody off
ZombieMesh: and why i thought that way
Elec: *starts hitting head on desk*
ZombieMesh: I'm sorry if I upset you, but I believe this conversation is over if you think I am personally attacking you
Elec: 23:32 - ZombieMesh: I'm happy that is exists, but the lore itself is kinda meh
23:32 - ZombieMesh: Needing to eat everyday is dumb. Humans dont even need to eat everyday, and a zombie isn't going to be using as much energy as humans
^ complaining
"I have a problem with the 1 day limit on activity, I think the headcrabs could die before finding new pray"
^ constructively coopeerating
Elec: and the second thing should happen right after reading it
Elec: so that the lore can be improved
ZombieMesh: I am sorry Elec, I am dont talking for now
ZombieMesh: done*
