Open a PDA and check the time, every round starts at 12:00; find the difference by taking 12 hours away from what the time currently says on the PDA. I.e.: 13:37 - 12:00 = 1:37 --> The round has been going on for an hour and thirty seven minutes. | ||

* You need just 16 kPa of oxygen to survive. As long as whatever you're breathing contains that, you won't suffocate. This means you can put your emergency oxygen tank from default 21 kPa to 16 kPa, having 24% more time to breath your tank empty! | * You need just 16 kPa of oxygen to survive.

* The most useful question you can ask in SS13 is "How?" Try and learn something new every round; The ability to learn is one of the most robust things there is. As a corollary to the above, try not to make the same mistake twice. Most times you die (or lose) come back to one of two things; Either it's something you could've prevented with proper gear, skill, knowledge, or foresight, or it's something you couldn't have prevented - plain old fashioned bad luck. Minimize the former through learning, and accept the latter as inevitable and immutable. | * The most useful question you can ask in SS13 is "How?"
