Today's game is some more Project Zomboid. It turns out who I thought was Cable was actually Carley Mangrove. I had forgotten my friend wanted to try a different build, so Cable is on a "Apocalyptic Bible Cult Retreat", which explains how he lost all his skills. Anyways, we had gotten Carley a prosthetic, and she looks bad ass as fuck with it. She's still getting used to using it, but my friend who controls her is glad to have her back to full strength.
We made a quick run to the pharmacy near town. We took trash bags and basically just grabbed whatever we could get and then drove off. Town was a lot more crowded than usual. We might have to steal a cop car and stock up on shotgun shells to clean up a little bit.
We spent the entire rest of the day cleaning up the base. I built a second floor to the shack and even plastered and painted it, which is nice. It was lacking a window, and I just learned I can install windows on buildings I make myself. I had assumed you just couldn't, but nope. It is an option. You just steal them from another house with a crowbar. Now that I think about it, you could really fuck up another player’s build just by stealing their window. Though, at that point, you could just sledgehammer it down too.
We ended for the night by installing some furniture for him. We've got to get him a Lamp next time but we put a fridge in there, a bed, and a table. He was going to put some "ambient clutter" on the table and stuff too later.

that looks like a lot of fun to play with friends

It's the BEST! Project Zomboid is in my humble opinion the definite Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game with nothing else coming even close. Especially when modded, but even without mods. Had my Server running for 2 years and played with my friends, it was an absolute BLAST! It ended when we were sieged in our fortress by a horde a screen wide and somebody decided to throw Molotov cocktails at them... because burning zombies set everything they touch on fire... that includes wooden fortresses.
I specifically had told everyone that the only thing more dangerous then a horde is a burning horde. But did they listen?! Nooooo...
XD
It was such a fun ending though, the Zeds breaking through the south wall and us fighting them with everything we had until we were stranded in the garage and the doors were breaking down... so we toasted to having survived that long with bleach and died before they got to us.

Have you seen Vein? Still early access, I think, but it's got potential
Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 266d
I have this on my wishlist so I can keep an eye on it.
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 265d
It really is. At least for me, that's where I have a lot of my fun.

Why are people downvoting this daily post? I like it, it's fun to share with others and it gives life to a community and discussions. Thanks OP for keeping it up!

Some people find it to be repetitive and low effort, which, as much as I love doing these, I can understand their perspective. The last few days have been mostly Halo and Zomboid (and Shadow of Mordor one time) while I finish the move over to CachyOS. So I kind of understand where they're coming from.
I still enjoy it though, and as long as other people are enjoying it, I'll probably keep going (or until life requires too much time of me).

Not only playing a game every day, but also writing about it, isn't low effort by any means. I'm lucky if I get to gaming once every two weeks, let alone write about it.

Day 503 of waiting for Indie Stone to re-instate multiplayer on the game you're playing?
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 265d
Tbf the only broken multiplayer is on the opt in unstable branch. It's not like b41 mp vanished.
Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 265d
My issue is mostly that this is a "Mo money mo problems" situation. I did single player for B42 and I REALLY liked it. Going back to B41 is like swapping back to 480p from UHD.

That's a self-inflicted wound brother. It's like playing a leaked copy of a game before release.
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 265d
That's really the only thing keeping us from jumping ship to Build 42. Once it gets it I don't think there's much keeping us from switching over, especially with all the new building stuff
OneDimensionPrinter@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 264d
Ah boooo. I didn't realize build 42 didn't have multiplayer. Literally just suggested this to a friend. Guess I'll continue to wait to play with somebody.

Nice job making it to day 503!

Looks like The Sims grew up

...and multiplayer, overhauled animations, 3d models, new textures, and mods galore :)

I didn't discover this game until a few years ago, it blew my mind to find out it used to be 2D. I kind of want to go check out the oldest builds just to see what it's like
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 265d
You can using the steam beta builds feature. I believe it's the earliest one.
