Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

There's an old speedrunning trick for this: If you don't put new clothes on each day and instead keep re-wearing them, it stops growing.
The game tries to prevent this with the stench debuff and the hit to your cleanliness stat, but you can counter that with routing to avoid enounters with other players. Then the debuff does nothing and the cleanliness stat only matters once it gets low enough to trigger damage to your HP.
So it really only works for specific builds, but if done right it can save you a lot of time.
What do you mean they added a large negative modifier to the mental health stat when using this strat? I guess this works better on earlier patches before personal hygiene became so important in the meta.
You guys need to up the DPS. You can also easily cheese this boss: set the pile of laundry on fire.
It’s a matter of not feeding the monster, if you have less clothes, the monster can’t feed on them.
Is this how nudism spreads?
also people tend to be kind of neurotic about how often they wash/change clothes, you really don't need to wash jeans every day..
Just change your underwear daily, your undershirt (i.e. tshirt for most people) like every other day, and wash everything else when it gets noticably dirty.
for bonus points try to get wool clothes, since that's slightly antimicrobial. You can actually get wool stuff that's comfortable against the skin, it just has to be made of the fibres from closer to the sheep's skin, which is more expensive.
ontop of dps, debuff the boss' resources so it has a lower health pool (reduce your clothes and clothes only worn once on non-humid days/less active days can be reused)
you need to use DoTs, like fire damage for example, this'll negate the regeneration.
