Make a status message

[Bruce of Wayne 81]

We all know that the system of status effect messaging is pretty unique. Or at least amusing. So use this thread to come up with your own ideas for status messages, serious or funny.

(Close to an explosion or loud gunshot) My ears are ringing.

(In very cold conditions for mild amounts of time) I can't feel my fingers.

(Heavy rain) My clothes feel heavy with rain.

(Caught in rain for 2 minutes) NO NOT THE RAIN IM GOING TO CATCH A COLD AND DIE HALP HALP

I will soon meet our lord and savior Tom Cruise. I have earned my place in the Danger Zone.

(Multiple close gunshots (SkS/M4/AK)) My bowels almost  spasmed

(10 min after swimming in salty water) I'm starting to feel salt forming

(30 min after swimming in salty water) The salt is making me itch

(1 hr after swimming) GOD MAKE IT STOP

Personally I want the text removed completely and replaced by icons. The text is annoying, counter intuitive and restrictive. What can't be demonstrated via icon should be relayed through feedback. 
 

So, if it rains you should see an icon of a raindrop, the opacity or the size of the raindrop would show the level of rain you are being exposed to. The whole "you are getting wet, you are no longer getting wet" is just shit. I understand why it's there, but it needs removed.

 

For non-icon based contextual things, for example those mentioned in the first post, if you have cold fingers you should drop things, or if an explosion/gunfire happens next to you your hearing should be affected ideally with a ringing in your ears too.

 

All in all, having the text is wrong on so many levels.

(after running for 30 mins)Wish I had an autokey.

(Sunrise happens) You have found wood.

(A fire is created nearby) Smokey says only you can prevent forest fires.

(Running through woods) Watch out for ticks!

(Enter grocery store) Shoplifters will be violated.

(50+ hours played without dying) You feel lonely and desire human interaction, a friend waits for you behind a blue door in Berezino, go find them!
