[onyx igloo]

Every cleaning agent

[fast flare]

nvm that was Steinbeck

[fleet marten]

Sorry not sorry

[onyx igloo]

Which one is it

[fast flare]

grapes of wrath

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage

[onyx igloo]

oh, I thought you were talking about Sentinel island

Not..

[fast flare]

you cant convince me that every rich person island aint the same tbh

especially ones with a bunker...

[onyx igloo]

I mean..

Kinda?

I guess human Swedish meatball creatures are on every rich island, huh.

[fast flare]

and (forest spoilers) ||cloning kids or some shit||

[onyx igloo]

I guess rich people like doing cruel and unnecessary things?

Adam Sandler and Keanu Reeves are exceptions

[fast flare]

or maybe only they have the resources to do it, idk. anyway ima go play videogames

[onyx igloo]

Go do that imma vibe to music

[coarse ice]

[safe fjord]

A prayer that you will not turn to a zombie.

🤣🤣🤣

[runic sleet]

ur playing build 41 right?

multiplayer

[keen patio]

can you play muliplayer in b42 ?

[mossy idol]

huh whats build 41?

[safe fjord]

Oops, I replied when I wasn’t asked. I got confused again with discord. 🥲 Sorry..

[fleet marten]

Soon™

[runic sleet]

if you didn't opt in then you're still on the latest stable build

[silk nebula]

at glance i thought i was looking at a rim world mod

[runic sleet]

project zomboid has "builds" instead of versions when they update

build 42 is unstable and you gotta opt in to play it

[young kelp]

I own build 43

[runic sleet]

unstable as in beta

[young kelp]

if PZ gets a new major update

it will jump to build 44

[fleet marten]

Next decade

[mossy idol]

what?

ur confusing me frfr

speak english pls

[fleet marten]

Lmao

[runic sleet]

you're playing version 41 of the project zomboid game

[mossy idol]

uh yeah i just installed it so i hope its the latest version

[runic sleet]

41 is the stable release, multiplayer works completely fine on it

it's not the latest version, they're working on an unstable (buggy) version that they've already released called build 43

42*

you can opt in via steam, I suggest you do

[mossy idol]

ye ik multiplayer works but im here to ask if any experienced ppl can guide me fr

oh

i gotta go back to build 41 for stable mp?

[runic sleet]

you should play b42 and get better there cause , the lighting system is different

ur already on build 41

[mossy idol]

alr first off wtf is a build

[runic sleet]

version

[short hazel]

you should play b42 because there are rats

[mossy idol]

and the versions matter why?

[short hazel]

you can catch them with your bare hands

[runic sleet]

because they're updates to your game

[mossy idol]

and i prob have the latest version

[runic sleet]

content changes

[mossy idol]

so whats the issue

[runic sleet]

you don't if you downloaded it just now without specifically opting in

[mossy idol]

opting in?

[runic sleet]

there's no issue, you definitely don't have the latest version

opting in is going to properties and choosing something, I don't recall exactly what but I'll send you the link

one second

[neat moat]

HI HELLO ONLY 👋

[mossy idol]

how u not know but youll send the link?

[runic sleet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/4_ANXb3ES7U?si=r6Fh9Oo7Su3s0En4

because b42 came out a bit ago

or you can just

[safe fjord]

Hi Ghoti! ❤️❤️❤️

[runic sleet]

search up on YouTube: "b42 opt in"

[neat moat]

you died for like 3 days 😭

[mossy idol]

do the versions matter that much?

[runic sleet]

the new build has animals, that short I sent explains the best parts

[safe fjord]

Sorry, I got really busy. And shoveling exhausted me a lot. 🤣

[runic sleet]

if you stay in build 41 you won't get content updates

you don't have to worry about losing your Dave

save*

[fleet marten]

Dave

[runic sleet]

Your game automatically updates the undiscovered parts of your map and the functionality currently to fit with the new update

[mossy idol]

oh animals got added?

woah

[runic sleet]

yeah

[mossy idol]

im shocked the game still updates

[runic sleet]

u can milk them and stuff

[mossy idol]

no offense

[neat moat]

shoveling snow is hard. So I hear. I never have to deal with snow here 😎

[safe fjord]

I’m gonna die again soon 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll have a longer chat with you next week. 🙏🏻 Hopefully. 🤣 goodnight for now! 😭😭😭

[runic sleet]

they haven't in awhile

[mossy idol]

do zombies not infect or smth?

[runic sleet]

they've been on a really good streak so far though

of course they do

[mossy idol]

infect the cows?

[safe fjord]

Lucky for you Ghoti. 🙏🏻❤️ Stay safe and well all the time^^

[runic sleet]

oh no not yet

[neat moat]

https://tenor.com/view/zzz-good-night-sleepy-gif-11683163696984946875

[runic sleet]

they scare animals but

[mossy idol]

oh k

[runic sleet]

they don't outright attack them

[neat moat]

Same btw, ima sleep

[mossy idol]

so js build a fense or smth and ur good

fr

[runic sleet]

the lighting system is different be wary

in b41 you can go outside at night and it's feasible

in B42 unless electricity is still on or the ground nearby you is lightly tinted like a normal street

It's pitch black

[mossy idol]

alr ill watch the video

and do the build 42 or whatever it was

[runic sleet]

If you want some tips btw

[mossy idol]

so u gotta do unstable

for opt in

[runic sleet]

exhaustion and muscle strain are a prevalent aspect in b42, the more you use weapons, carry, run, or do anything athletic you either get exhausted or receive strain or both

Yeah

don't be afraid of it being unstable

It just means that you should backup your save occasionally so you don't lose it to something like

falling off the map which is super rare

[mossy idol]

i have nothing to back up rn so it doesnt matter

but how would i back up my save?

[runic sleet]

create a folder anywhere on your computer and go to your computer's c drive > user > zomboid > saves > game mode

[ripe bane]

If you’re playing solo, is there a way to still adjust speed limit and trash delete all like you would hosting a server?

[runic sleet]

Drag and drop into another folder and you're done

if you plan to make multiple saves in that one folder put an extra number beside them to stop them from mixing

[mossy idol]

k

[runic sleet]

the current meta for surviving is ranching, start a thriving farm and you can survive off the milk and subsequently butter

[mossy idol]

alr

[runic sleet]

usually farms are remote so you'll have a space to yourself, be careful of inevitable migration which is a phenomena where zeds move to areas closer to you because of meta events

[mossy idol]

is there good players i could play with to get a grip of the game?

and just learn my way around

[runic sleet]

B42 doesn't have multiplayer right now so you genuinely couldn't

just ask anyone and they'll give you advice

[mossy idol]

isnt the game mostly fun bc of the co op tho

[runic sleet]

I can definitely give you some advice I'd be happy to

[silent mesa]

Hi

[mossy idol]

not saying it isnt fun solo but

[runic sleet]

enjoy it how you want to, I personally have never touched multiplayer

[silent mesa]

Damn

Cant change my name to rat here

[mossy idol]

alr

[icy vigil]

it's level-locked

[mossy idol]

also yes id love to get some beginner advice

[runic sleet]

you can always stay in b41 but you can also think of it as getting better in b42 so you can play with others when mp comes out

sure, go ahead and opt in and ask me any questions

[mossy idol]

ive played a couple times but died very fast

because of cuts or whatever

[icy vigil]

you might also be able to ask some mods to change your name for you

[runic sleet]

off the bat I'll remind you to find a farm, lighting is super dark, exhaustion is prevalent so you'd need to sit down and be careful about your actions

before opening a door press e and then step back so you don't get bit by anyone lurking

[silent mesa]

Is there any road that goes o louisville that doesnt have to get trought the hellhole called west point?

[silent mesa]

Rat is literally my name but english

[runic sleet]

zeds all have different stats meaning some are genuinely closer to being blind and deaf, that means they often end up lurking in crevices

[runic sleet]

no clue honestly I've barely discovered the map haha

[silent mesa]

Lol

[runic sleet]

better yet, if you sit on an actual seat your exhaustion goes away much faster

[silent mesa]

With all ny guts i hate west point

[icy vigil]

rato sounds better

imo

[runic sleet]

You can rip specific clothing off of dead zeds to generate clean and dirty rags

[silent mesa]

Lol why?

[mossy idol]

ye

i used clothes

and ripped them a lot of times

[icy vigil]

it just does for me

[runic sleet]

oh okay, different items have different healing factors

[silent mesa]

I sometimes walk with up to 20 rags

[icy vigil]

rat is plain

but rat-o

very kewl

[runic sleet]

like adhesive bandages heal your injuries the fastest I think

[mossy idol]

alr

[silent mesa]

I thought it was normal bandages

[runic sleet]

Yeah I could be definitely wrong

[mossy idol]

what gamemode would you recommend?

[silent mesa]

Isnt bandaid and adesive bandages the same tho?

[mossy idol]

builder, survivor, apocalypse?

[silent mesa]

I use my own based of builder

[runic sleet]

apocalypse is where multi hit isn't enabled, survivor has multi hit and builder im not too sure about

multi hit is a combat system where if you swing your weapon it hits whoever is in the radius, it doesn't just hit the nearest zed

I suggest you do apocolypse

[silent mesa]

Its kinda cool

[runic sleet]

Apocalypse*

[mossy idol]

apocalypse looks hard asf

[silent mesa]

Just going around doing 180s

[silent mesa]

Try six months later

[mossy idol]

short life span

im gonna get COOKED!

[runic sleet]

one thing you're going to realize is that complacency kills, the idea that you're getting more leverage in the game kills a lot of people in this game

[mossy idol]

why3 is tryna set me up

[runic sleet]

spawn in riverside, I can help you a lot if you do

LOL

[silent mesa]

Riverside and maldraugh are two places i really like

[mossy idol]

alr im lowk down tho

[icy vigil]

you should play apocalypse if you dont want to get clowned with using multi-hit

[mossy idol]

u able to help me tho

[icy vigil]

multi-hit is the only practical difference between apo and surv

[mossy idol]

is multi hit bad or good

[icy vigil]

it's good

[silent mesa]

Good and sometimes op

[runic sleet]

anyone can play the game the way they like, it's still supporting the same devs who made this game

[icy vigil]

but people see it as inferior

because it "makes the game easy"

[mossy idol]

inferior? .

so basically its like summons in elden ring

[icy vigil]

ye

[mossy idol]

damn

[runic sleet]

it makes it easier not easy, you can still get exhausted and have to fight forever just to kill one zed

[mossy idol]

ik project zomboid fans go hard but i didnt know they sweat this much

[icy vigil]

but those who say it are a minority

[runic sleet]

yeah that's true

[silent mesa]

Like playing stealth archer in skyrim

[icy vigil]

the majority of players use multi-hit

[mossy idol]

never played skyrim

[icy vigil]

they're just not as noisy as the ones who berate multi-hit

[mossy idol]

so the sweats bash multi hit

alr

then why u guys want me to play apocalypse

.

[silent mesa]

I dont recomend using alot of guns

[mossy idol]

wouldnt multi hit be way easier

[mossy idol]

ok that hurts my feelings i played a lot of dead island and dying light and i love guns

[icy vigil]

if you get used to multi-hit you might not get used to non-multihit

you might even hate non-multihit

[graceful dust]

whos making u play apocalypse

[mossy idol]

u guys want me to play apocalypse and become unemployed like the sweats

😭

jpjp ill run it

[silent mesa]

Zombies hear alot gunfire

[mossy idol]

ye

sad tho i love guns in zombie games

are guns a last resort

[silent mesa]

But use the ol boomstick on hordes

[mossy idol]

or just dont touch them in general

[silent mesa]

Use them

[icy vigil]

idunno for b42

[graceful dust]

i use progressive multihit but in practice im not utilizing multihit so often that i cant do without its like. i have to remind myself the opportunity is there if i need it

[icy vigil]

if you play mainly vanilla b41 youll be out of bullets over default settings

[mossy idol]

didnt u say it makes a lot of noise

[graceful dust]

its not that bad u just have to be aware of how u could get overwhelmed like u have to for anything else in the game

[icy vigil]

most gun users on b41 used guns because they use mods like brita

which increases ammo rates

[runic sleet]

guns are great in this game, you just have to get ur aiming skill up to be able to use it as well as you want it to

[mossy idol]

alr

[runic sleet]

currently b42 have a chance to damage system; meaning they stun zeds if you can aim

[mossy idol]

so i js have to becareful of the setting when i use guns

[runic sleet]

but whether or not they kill? that's a chance based on ur aiming skill

[mossy idol]

o bet

[silent mesa]

I just keep a shotgun with me when i use guns

[mossy idol]

i play bo6 all day ofc i can aim

fr

[graceful dust]

b41 isnt aim based its vibes based

& the vibe is bad

[mossy idol]

im on the b42

the new stuff looks cool

[silent mesa]

A 12ga and a 38spc

[graceful dust]

ye

[runic sleet]

do apocalypse , with your background of zombie games I'm sure you'd want a thrill

did you load into a new map?

[mossy idol]

hyped to try it if i dont get cooked within the first 2 seconds

[graceful dust]

they need to unbreak guns & then itll be fire

[runic sleet]

sidenote, f2 pauses the game

[mossy idol]

wheres the best place to spawn?

f2 alr

[runic sleet]

riverside is the one I can help you with the most

you might spawn near the warehouse

[silent mesa]

Riverside

[mossy idol]

alr

[graceful dust]

muldraugh

[runic sleet]

and be wary, the first week or two you're not going to be well off

[mossy idol]

ye ik

when i first played i got cooked so hard

longest i lived was prob 3 days

[graceful dust]

thats great!

keep doing that!

[runic sleet]

I started having to sleep in a bathroom enclosed in an lectromax warehouse with the closest thing I could do for myself was to bring back a chair to the bathroom

[graceful dust]

3 days is excellent

[mossy idol]

i didnt know that zombies heard guns and stuff

so i js shot and ran

L;OL

[silent mesa]

My route is: spawn riverside loot and get some good things, go down to riverwood prepare myself and enter the prison

[mossy idol]

and i didnt know u could bleed out, etc

[runic sleet]

shotguns are the loudest, im pretty sure they can be heard within like

[graceful dust]

this is my fav kind of playthru

[runic sleet]

an entire city I could be wrong though

[mossy idol]

so i also bled to death

[runic sleet]

I see

you'll love this game trust me

[graceful dust]

if im not SUFFERING what is the POINT

[mossy idol]

and i didnt know u could disinfect bites

[runic sleet]

It's not dying light pace but

it's

[silent mesa]

But theyre a jack of all trades

[graceful dust]

unless u play with no transmission theres no point. bites 100% kill u

[mossy idol]

i think antibiotics help with infected wounds right?

[runic sleet]

planning everything as if your life is on the line

Yup

[mossy idol]

mb not bites

[runic sleet]

they immediately remove your infection if I'm not wrong

[mossy idol]

infected wounds

alr

i believe they are in washroom cabinets

[runic sleet]

yup

[graceful dust]

yes

[runic sleet]

ur exactly right

[mossy idol]

alr

[graceful dust]

& medical settings

[runic sleet]

me too, I love desperate gameplay

[silent mesa]

And ambulances

[mossy idol]

what are the best traits?

i forgot u gotta pick traits smh

[silent mesa]

Trauma kits and med kits

[runic sleet]

I grew up playing don't starve and my day to day in that game was what do i need to do right now to survive this next night

[runic sleet]

ahhh yeah yeah

so when I started I didn't really

have a good knowledge of this stuff but thankfully you will

but I said that so you know it doesn't matter but

[mossy idol]

i didnt either

[runic sleet]

try getting uhh

[silent mesa]

I go with lumberjack

[mossy idol]

i have 6 hours on this game and the 6 hours was me just shooting

and eventually getting a horde

[runic sleet]

some traits are called free points because people can circumvent them with enough effort

don't get negative traits that last forever

[mossy idol]

alr

[silent mesa]

I use smoker

[toxic relic]

theres 2 pz chats

and people still fuckin yappin here

[runic sleet]

oh yeah I think smoker is broken in b42 rn

[mossy idol]

[runic sleet]

[silent mesa]

@mossy idol buld42?

[mossy idol]

[runic sleet]

very thin, weak stomach, either scared of the outside or inside for starters

[silent mesa]

#42 better we go here

[mossy idol]

go where?

[silent mesa]

#pz_b42_chat

[graceful dust]

ppl derailing sims chat

[icy vigil]

it's alright to pz chat here

[runic sleet]

very thin is easily combatted with butter, weak stomach is never an issue unless you plan to intentionally eat rotten food, and agoraphobia or whatever the other one is will eventually my subside

[icy vigil]

it's "gen-chat"

[runic sleet]

show me your negative trait list if you can

[icy vigil]

there's no provision forbidding pz-chat here

[mossy idol]

k

[runic sleet]

sure we can go to the other chat

[graceful dust]

2 cakes & u still insist on eating off anothers plate...

[runic sleet]

or stay here whichever

[runic sleet]

Lol

[mossy idol]

wait i cant post ss here

[graceful dust]

im so fucking hungry

[runic sleet]

Oh

send it thru dms

[mossy idol]

alr

[graceful dust]

wish i had 2 cakes...

[silent mesa]

In b41 smoker is kinda easy to counter

[icy vigil]

it's actually a positive trait in b41

[silent mesa]

I will probably wait for 42 stable to release

[graceful dust]

smokers the most annoying trait in b41 (i hate hearing abt it)

[mossy idol]

💀

[silent mesa]

And wait some time for my 500 car mods

Like

I have a delorian from bttf

A payday escape van

Golf carts

[icy vigil]

gonna walk and buy bread

[graceful dust]

which bread

[icy vigil]

milk bread

very good

[graceful dust]

save some for me

[icy vigil]

god bless the local bakery

[silent mesa]

I eat bread with eggs

[graceful dust]

local bakery milk bread jfc i hate to see other ppl living my dream

[runic sleet]

@mossy idol slow healer, weak stomach, agoraphobic, fear of blood

[mossy idol]

alr

[silent mesa]

Best quick food my country showed me

[runic sleet]

high thirst, im not sure if you want but if you plan accordingly it won't be an issue

[graceful dust]

i rly think y'all should chill on reccing builds to newbies lol

[runic sleet]

you should instead choose having to eat more if you want to because you last less if you're dying of thirst than hunger I believe

[graceful dust]

trial & error is fine

[runic sleet]

oh he was asking for advice

I'm completely okay with spending time sharing information

[silent mesa]

My build is quite random

[mossy idol]

who cares what the bad traits are

[silent mesa]

But focused on guns

[mossy idol]

they wont matter when i pump all the zombies full of lead

they gonna fear me fr

[silent mesa]

My longest lasting character was kanye west (this is no joke)

[mossy idol]

w kanye

[runic sleet]

@mossy idol then the rest is up to you, some people go for a burgular occupation because cars can be hot wired

others go for a strength build , it'll help you clear

[mossy idol]

alr

[runic sleet]

others go for a focus on athleticism so you can last longer walking away from zeds

just have fun with it

[icy vigil]

burglar's great for newbies

[mossy idol]

fr

[icy vigil]

simply because cars are fun as fuck

[mossy idol]

i wanna steal some mclarens

ONG

[icy vigil]

you can do donuts

[runic sleet]

ultimately it won't matter because you can always work on these things

[mossy idol]

I DROVE A CAR ONCE

[runic sleet]

yup

[mossy idol]

IT WAS FUN

[runic sleet]

cars are really useful

[silent mesa]

Until you hit it on 3 trees in a row

[mossy idol]

smashed into zombies on the street with a girl in the backseat

it was wild fr

[runic sleet]

I had to manually level up electrical and mechanics, it isn't that bad

but then again

I had a car at that time

[mossy idol]

but i think the zombies broke my car

and uh we got swarmed

anyways

[runic sleet]

oh you know what

i forgot to mention

[silent mesa]

Running down zombies isnt really recommended

[mossy idol]

ye ik

it was fun tho fr

loool

[runic sleet]

generators are gasoline powered and require you to have electrical three or find a magazine to know how to connect them , you can try and see if you want a head start on that

[mossy idol]

alr

[silent mesa]

They can literally take off your tire

[mossy idol]

ima pick buglar

what are some good traits i should add?

[silent mesa]

I go with lumberjack some times

[runic sleet]

that's for you to decide

[graceful dust]

im a rper my traits r for rp

[mossy idol]

.

[silent mesa]

And name my character johnny

[runic sleet]

if I was to say some notable ones though

If I had to rechoose my skills

[silent mesa]

Pick what you think will be good

[mossy idol]

fr

is it just playstyle

that i should base it off of?

[silent mesa]

My favorite is eagle eye to be honest

[runic sleet]

honestly yeah, because personally I would choose whittler if I had to start over

OH

yeah he's right

eagle eye and cat eyes

[mossy idol]

alr

[runic sleet]

everything else up to you

I would personally do whittler but the next guy would probably be like wtf?

[silent mesa]

I hate trying to find the outlet

[runic sleet]

I sometimes spend a week or two at my base working on skills and constructing

others love to live on their toes constantly, near zeds and between homes

creating safe houses and the like

[mossy idol]

is stout good?

[runic sleet]

so whittler would be a dense option for them

[mossy idol]

looks pretty good to me

[runic sleet]

yeah of course

oh yknow what

maybe organized, is that a thing?

[silent mesa]

Its good

[mossy idol]

ye

[silent mesa]

Fast reader is kinda useless

[runic sleet]

You can always up your strength (with some time) but organized is an added bonus to your storage

yeah I suggest fast learner instead of fast reader

[mossy idol]

k added

[silent mesa]

You can just speed up time

[mossy idol]

fast learner too?

alr

[runic sleet]

allocating time each night where going out at night is riskier to reading instead is better than speeding up reading overall

yeah , after that choose whatever

[mossy idol]

whitter is good?

got 7 points left

[runic sleet]

remember it's your gameplay that counts

[mossy idol]

ill get stout and speed demon then

[runic sleet]

are you planning on living remotely? are you planning on being between homes in an suburban environment?

[silent mesa]

If you want the game to be kinda unfair for the zombies go with strong

[mossy idol]

unfair?

[runic sleet]

if you want to be proficient at combat maybe get something to help with fitness to aid exhaustion

[mossy idol]

like i smash the shit outta them type unfair?

[silent mesa]

Strong is..strong

[mossy idol]

.

what does strong do tho

do my hits hit harder or smth

[silent mesa]

If i remember it gives you 4 strenght

And you do more knockback

[mossy idol]

strong is too much -10

.

[silent mesa]

Thats why i dont pick it

[runic sleet]

strength makes it so you do more damage, you have a higher chance to kill

[mossy idol]

alr

stout looks good does more knockback

ill go with it

[toxic relic]

lawyer talk

[silent mesa]

If you want to be a real nomad theres a mod that adds that feature but well its a mod if you want you can just vanilla

[runic sleet]

[silent mesa]

Is there a way to explode cars?

[toxic relic]

wait what game is this

[graceful dust]

[toxic relic]

ic

[graceful dust]

so many questions... idk how to answer them

the military is there for govt conspiracy reasons

[toxic relic]

dw haha

[silent mesa]

@runic sleet can you explode cars in pz?

[runic sleet]

nope

[silent mesa]

Damnit

[runic sleet]

not without a mod

[runic sleet]

I saw this video on some of the pz lore using the civilian radio on the first week

this person talks about trying to get out of his area but being forced to stay thru military checkpoints

[silent mesa]

I had a save with a friend that we got cars all around a place and threw molotovs

[runic sleet]

that's why people think the government already knew or created it cause they were so quick to act

dang

xzlyx is locked in

[silent mesa]

Why wouldnt they?

Like its a zombie outbreak

I mean the govt was slow with covid either..

Meh

Im not a pz lore theory guy

[cedar hornet]

It's in the meat

[silent mesa]

Its the water

[icy vigil]

not just precedent

its literally written in #server-compass

missplums spotted 👁️

[heady basin]

hi

[heady basin]

thought i’d share this one time my grandparents house got overrun with sprigatitos

[plucky crag]

im pretty sure they made an exclusion zone for the outbreak area in an attempt to handle it quietly

which surprise surprise, didnt work !

[silent mesa]

Now i cant stop hitting my car on trees every turn!

[heady basin]

tbh if governments were competent in most zombie fiction then we’d lack most zombie fiction

[plucky crag]

you kind have to suspend your disbelief because a real zombie outbreak would last a month tops

before zombies just fall apart

[heady basin]

or you could just do what the 28 days series does and wait till they starve

[runic sleet]

I love that series

[plucky crag]

thats what i nwas thinking of tbf

[heady basin]

but humans are notoriously impatient

[plucky crag]

28 years sounds like its gonna be a fun time

[runic sleet]

they spread though right? one eventually somehow gets another human and then it snowballs

[plucky crag]

apparently its only the UK that is still infected in 28 years😭

[runic sleet]

wow

[silent mesa]

God save the queen right?

[runic sleet]

I'm just now realizing the full grasp that 28 years later is based on the world 28 years later

[heady basin]

ireland pubs looking real lively

[runic sleet]

that's so long

[plucky crag]

i assume the scene at the end of 28 weeks is either retconned or they just killed all of them zombies in france

[runic sleet]

how did u watch 28 weeks?

[plucky crag]

with a tv

[heady basin]

lmao

[runic sleet]

where?

[plucky crag]

at my house..?

[runic sleet]

where's ur house?

[plucky crag]

🤨

[runic sleet]

which streaming service

[silent mesa]

Kentucky - arizona

[plucky crag]

we have it on dvd

[icy vigil]

[heady basin]

but can we please get so appreciation for the background soundtrack for the trailer

it’s the first time i think ive seen a trailer not use music and instead use a fucking POEM

[runic sleet]

dang

[karmic jetty]

bruh i think i got some bots dm me earlier and one of em straight up sent furry inflation

[plucky crag]

that shit is stuck in my head

[runic sleet]

nobody houses 28 weeks later

YouTube has it but

h gotta rent it

[silent mesa]

Wat

[karmic jetty]

yea

[plucky crag]

but yeah the use of a war poem is so much better than slow reverb pop music

[silent mesa]

You sure your discord is safe?-

[karmic jetty]

wdym

[plucky crag]

Seven—six—eleven—five—nine-an'-twenty mile to-day

[heady basin]

knowing it’s origins and what’s its used for today, there’s probably reason for that

[plucky crag]

yeah its used for torture right

[silent mesa]

I once lost an acc a week after getting bots on my dms

[heady basin]

marine training i thought

[runic sleet]

@mossy idol how is it so far?

[heady basin]

to test endurance

[karmic jetty]

aw heck nah

[plucky crag]

maybe ur right, idk the specifics

[runic sleet]

isn't it used in sere school?

[mossy idol]

It’s good I’m just tired and I’m in bed

[runic sleet]

listening to it for a long time

oh you quit? did u do good?

[icy vigil]

a fuck i forgot about the pasta

[silent mesa]

Not the pasta

[mossy idol]

I did decent but it’s like 5am and I’m tired asl so I got off

[runic sleet]

ah okay

[silent mesa]

Its 7 here

[runic sleet]

u didn't die?

[silent mesa]

(Help me i cant sleep)

[mossy idol]

Nah

[plucky crag]

10am here

[runic sleet]

great

good job

have a goodnight

[mossy idol]

Ty

[runic sleet]

sleep in and prepare for bed at like an unreasonable time like 7 so you can sleep when the initial wave of fatigue hits

[mossy idol]

Bro the zombies tho can rack up so fast if ur not careful

[runic sleet]

if you miss that small timeframe you stay up all night again

[mossy idol]

I tested and just walked around the block and it turned from just 1 to like 15-20

[surreal mirage]

It's coz you keep talking about pyrocynical

[runic sleet]

yeah, they can track you from 20 tiles away if you're in their line of sight

[plucky crag]

simply killing zombies is enough to draw more zombies to you, you can get stuck in a cycle in urban areas

[runic sleet]

they walk up to where they last saw you, you can lose them by threading through structures or especially treelines

[karmic jetty]

u might be on to sumthin bruh

[mossy idol]

Alr

[half kettle]

Pyor

[runic sleet]

if I was you I'd take advantage of having already accumulated a horde and walk them a bit far and lose them

make a b line back to your original spot and continue surviving and walking them

[plucky crag]

pyrocynical when the game has yellow paint

[runic sleet]

I call it irritating the area

It gets zeds out of crevices and eventually clears it automatically

[heady basin]

ah, here beebob: “the 1915 spoken-word recording of the poem by american actor taylor holmes has been used for its psychological effect in u.s military SERE schools”

[runic sleet]

with a low amount of effort

[plucky crag]

horrors beyond human comprehension, for human comprehension

[runic sleet]

I remember

[runic sleet]

when I woke up from a dream that gave me paranoia after waking up and having to see ur pfp

[heady basin]

the poem itself is apparently about: “the thoughts of a british army infantryman marching in south africa during the second boer war”

hence why the numbers are read in a slow pace, to match the pace of a soldier’s march

[plucky crag]

yeah they had to march for a long ass time

its overall just a chilling poem which perfectly fits the kind of tone that trailer was going for

[heady basin]

yeah, it really fits that sense of dread the 28 series has

[cerulean granite]

Is there a server I can join?

[heady basin]

the dread that everything will almost certainly go wrong

and the horrors can only escalate

as years go by

and humanity runs on pure survival mode

[strange spruce]

[heady basin]

also the weariness of having to survive the zombies for years and now dealing with the aftermath

that paranoia and fear of becoming one of them looming over them

alongside the grief, trauma, pain and suffering of those who survived the outbreak

[surreal mirage]

[plucky crag]

one of my all time favourite parts of 28 days is the plane flying overhead with timid music thats neither sad nor happy, effectively portraying the worlds apathy towards the situation, absolute cinema

[heady basin]

YES THIS

APATHY

28 years later feels like its gonna be a bleak one

[graceful dust]

goodnight

[heady basin]

like the poem

the poem’s very bleak and repetitive

[strange spruce]

[graceful dust]

this is so true

all of this

have a good one

[surreal mirage]

[graceful dust]

💤

[strange spruce]

[plucky crag]

yeah i see it going that way, i think its almost primal in a way, with the skull piles too, humanity essentially regressed outside of structured settlements

[surreal mirage]

[plucky crag]

its like

social entropy

[strange spruce]

[heady basin]

ugh the 28 series makes me wanna analyse the shit out of it

[graceful dust]

[heady basin]

just the whole theme of morality versus instinct

survival versus living

[strange spruce]

Anyhow,cant wait to get home and spend my nitr watchin anime and rs grind

[plucky crag]

i was allowed to write about it a little in my film studies exams

[heady basin]

ugh so good

[plucky crag]

was fun

[graceful dust]

figures my cat finally got comfortable when i wanted to get up & go to bed

[heady basin]

that’s awesome

im literally vibrating rn ugh i LOVE talking about stuff like this

[plucky crag]

you're mortally inclined to want to help the people of britain but instinctually everything about it screams death, the world would rather preserve itself, which is at its very core instinctual

[surreal mirage]

Huh

[heady basin]

the whole series can be a metaphorical essay on instinct if you think about it

like you said, it’s all at the core very instinctual

because instinct IS OUR CORE

[half kettle]

28 centuries later

[heady basin]

so it’s fighting the urge to survive over our evolutionarily acquired sympathy

[plucky crag]

and in 28 weeks that help does come, which immediately backfires due to carelessness and hubris, emotions led to another outbreak and by that point the world wants nothing to do with your island

ALSO, the fake military personnel in the mansion

[heady basin]

THE MILITARY MANSION OMFG I FORGOT

YES

that bit in particular was an amazing example of what humans can become when at their wits end

animals driven by need

[plucky crag]

they are an example of backwards morality within the country, the drive for survival twists them. its sort of like a snake eating itself, morality incurs instinct, instinct twists morality, and so on, thats how you probably get the situation 28 years is gonna be

where a lot of people are just complete maniacs

[heady basin]

but then again it could be argued that all people are maniacs, some are just not as good at controlling themselves

every human has a dark side, a potential to snap

it’s self-control that limits us

[plucky crag]

thats a fair argument, should the cirumstances arise you arent going to worry about outward looking concepts when your own survival is at stake

[heady basin]

which is why i loved the first movie’s intro, because it’s realistic

was it a selfish move to abandon his family? absolutely
was it accurate to what a man would do when faced with such a scary life or death situation like that? absolutely

people forget that the big brave heroes in movies aren’t actually properly portrayed as human

when your life is at risk, there’s no superman

[plucky crag]

wait are you thinking of 28 weeks, when he runs away?

[heady basin]

it’s just you

[heady basin]

i could’ve sworn that was the first movie

hang on

maybe i’m wrong

[plucky crag]

iirc 28 days opens with the insurgents and the monkey lab

[heady basin]

shit ur right

fuck

[plucky crag]

your point still stands either way

[heady basin]

mb

[plucky crag]

like we can criticise him for running all we like but when faced with that situation most people are running, and realisitcally if he did stay, he'd die

the rage zombies are way too contagious to just stand and fight

[heady basin]

you could tell he didnt want to leave them either

but at that point fight or flight had taken over

and when that kicks in it becomes the only thing that matters

it’s your body saying “right, we’re going to risk death if we don’t do something right fucking now, so get moving”

[plucky crag]

like, unless you have a gun and precise aim, fighting the rage zombies is a death sentence

all it takes is 1 drop of blood

[heady basin]

even then, the speed of those zombies

[plucky crag]

true i remember in 28 days they'd just jump through windows no fucks given

they are also an example of instinct driven to its fullest, as literally all they exist to do now is spread the virus

[heady basin]

im rewatching the 28 weeks scene now, those fuckers do not stop for anyone

[arctic totem]

Helo the every ponies

[plucky crag]

heyo

[heady basin]

i didnt even think of this omg, this just adds onto the whole instinct versus morality theme the series has

[arctic totem]

Day one of detoxing from project zomboid

[heady basin]

the zombies are practically the epitome of instinct

so when one makes the argument of “who is the monster here” we can use the zombies as an example to compare the actions of survivors to

how instinctual is their behaviour? and how much is free choice given to them by circumstances?

[plucky crag]

from an outside perspective, as far as your concerned, everyone in england is a zombie, and the extent of that being true really depends

[heady basin]

yes, one could argue that humans have needs, but at the same time, with little to no consequences for ones actions and with nothing left to lose, humans would actively choose the WRONG thing just for gratification

[gaunt stirrup]

Hi guys, how to enable the mp in 42.2 build? I believe I can run the dedicated?

[plucky crag]

again, the military guys are a good example of this, they areny zombies, but their instinctual actions result in horrible shit, from an onlooker, they're the same

[plucky crag]

build 42 has no multiplayer as of now

[heady basin]

arguably worse than zombies, if you were to consider that all the zeds really do is seek to spread the contagion

if i were to compare it to an infection in a movie, i’d say it’d be like the sadness
