for me it's all the make-work maintenance , the ridiculous decay rate of some objects and drop locations.  Food goes bad , clothes rip and axes dull but i have a sharpening stone and axe i got from my grandfather that he bought in the 1930s.  For that matter most stones will work as a blade sharpener in a pinch so why carry anything at all?  Likewise my parents have a can opener that is used most days and has a decidedly 1970s feel to it. It works every time and never once have they had to maintain it.  In real life any cabin with a  gun will also have ammo for that gun.  Also pencils ubiquitous and don't need electricity so why do we need to bother with charcoal?

I get that some maintenance/spoilage/strange drops make sense and are part of the game but ultimately the game is a sandbox for the story but the story isn't served by having to stockpile sharpen stones, can openers, cleaning kits, etc.

the gods of of the Reload have have blessed me.

.is apparently, nowhere.

bounced off the top of hill in pretty spectacular fashion. also just out of reach.  hopefully it falls when i load the game again....
