Hand Simulator

Hand Simulator is a series of very cheap games on Steam focusing on badly controlling humans interacting with objects. Bepno introduced the games to Goomb, Lmone, and Ziggy, and they proceeded to turn it into content.

## Hand Simulator: Survival

Hand Simulator Survival was the first of the games the group played.

### Attempt 1

The group began by struggling to learn how to operate their hands. Goomb discovered how to flip people off and illustrated this to Lmone, who he thought was Ziggy. Bepno, who had already played the game, did most of the actual work as the rest of the group wandered around hitting each other with rocks and coconuts, until he ran into a tiger and his life was tragically cut short. With the only knowledgeable player dead, the rest of the group struggled with establishing a base and starting a fire. The boys started to freeze to death, until Lemon managed to start the fire at the last second. This caused Goomb to realize that there was a temperature meter, as his was off of the screen. Goomb and Lmone then decided to chop down a coconut tree to get more food, but Lome was bitten by one of the snakes and died, as the snake ascended to the heavens. Then, Goomb also died to a snake. Ziggy also died to a snake shortly afterwards.

### Attempt 2

Now that people other than Bepno knew the basic game mechanics, their attempts to establish a base were much more successful. Bepno created a base by stabbing bamboo poles into the ground, and planned to use this to evade the deadly snakes. As this happened, Lmone wandered off into the wilderness and got lost. Bepno started the fire much faster than Lome did on the first attempt, and quickly mounted one of the two poles. However, Goomb and Ziggy continuously and accidentally shoved each other off of the other pole. Once they finally made it onto the same pole, Lome found the base and had to search the dark ground for coconuts to eat. He also used his proximity to the fire to provide it with fuel. Then, snakes attacked, and Goomb and Lome rapidly died. Their corpses held hands. Bepno also died to a jumping snake. However, Ziggy lived to day 2, earning him an achievement. Goomb also got the achievement for staying in the lobby. Ziggy finished this attempt by shoving Goomb's corpse through the ground and drowning himself with Bepno's body.

### Attempt 3

The group began this attempt with Lome's brutal maiming of Goomb, which was a response to Goomb's finger gun. As the group wandered around gathering supplies, Goomb discovered that he could climb the really big tree, and Bepno established a new, tightrope-style base. This time, they all successfully mounted the base. Ziggy was the first one to be attacked by snakes, which caused him to flee the base for a short period of time. However, Goomb was still the first one to die. Bepno followed him when he tried to fuel the fire. The ghosts of Bepno and Goomb studied the secret arts of Hand Simulator CBT to pass the time. Then, Lome also died to snake, leaving Ziggy as the sole survivor again.

### Attempt 4

This time, an additional member was added to the group: Kartoshka. Ziggy's bone obsession was also revealed to everyone for the first time. Shortly before night, Goomb got lost, but Kartoshka showed him the way to the base. Kartoshka was also declared fire slave, and successfully started the fire. Then, the group struggled to get onto the base. As Goomb and Ziggy struggled to get onto the base, Goomb betrayed Ziggy by eating his coconut. Once Ziggy and Goomb got onto the base, the group enjoyed a brief moment of peace that was shattered by Ziggy's sudden death. The fire also began to go out, which caused Goomb to demand that "someone whose life doesn't matter" should go fix it. Kartoshka managed to fix the situation and come back alive, to the shock of the other players. The group enjoyed yet another moment of peace on the pole that was yet again interrupted by a tragic death, which was even more shockingly Kartoshka's. Goomb attempted to flee a snake that was using Kartoshka's corpse as leverage to bite him, but he also died. Lemon and Bepno became the survivors of this attempt, and used this opportunity to play with their friends' corpses. However, Lemon didn't survive past the morning of day 2, as he immediately ran into a snake which bit him. Then, he backed into a scorpion which stung him, killing him.
