Yes, no-no powder. Yes, I died. I tried to eat? I think that's what triggered this. Oh, or, right... I also tried more no-no powder.
Now I am getting a constant stream of "you would have gained energy, but you're super pooped" messages.
I tried moving to a new location, but they continue. Must be from the additional no-no powder, when I think about it. But I doubt it should keep spewing messages at me?
Update: They eventually stopped, while I was posting the spinach update. So maybe there was a finite number of them, but it was a very large number. Ah, I get it. They stopped when I hit the crash, and resume when I take more no-no powder. Possibly, this is intentional, then? But it doesn't seem quite right, there's too many of them.
Also, it turns out that I can still activate spinach when in this crashed out mode, which probably shouldn't happen?
Update #2: I had a reload after my last edit to this post, and that stopped the spewing messages, even though I am still on a post-hell no-no powder rush.
Update #3: I donated some items and leveled up, which restored my energy. My actions still entirely deplete that energy, but I was full there for a moment, and not suffering as much as I think I'm supposed to be suffering.
Observation #1: Shouldn't there be a way that a friend could help you out of this? Yes, there should be a way. Possibly, an intervention sort of thing (requiring multiple people), but there should be a way.
