Zomboid was originally inspired by CDDA. Much of the game flow and ideas are 1 to 1 copies. The biggest difference is that CDDA is a turn based game that is played on tiles (think rogue or nethack). From the inventory system to crafting to base construction to reading books, it's all there.

Oh. Except bites aren't instant death. There's no zombie virus. Dead bodies rise up (including yours!). You can still get infections and die from them, but you can also just clean your wounds. 1v1-ing a zombie is suicide though unless you have a decent weapon.

Also, zombies evolve... So they scale well into the late game. Having a zombie hulk throw you through a concrete wall and breaking every bone in your body is usually lethal.

this is a comic man, you might be reading into it more than the artist intended... I was bullied in high school by a single, lone dude lots of times.

If you’re enjoying Project Zomboid, you might want to check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA). It's a fantastic open-world survival game with a similar vibe, but it offers a lot more depth and complexity in its gameplay mechanics. Best part? CDDA is free and open-source.

Rather hurtful stereotype.

Partners are the stupidest fuckers on the planet. I won't name names, but I have sicced my governance team on fucking http (NO S) websites, usage of certificate pinning, public-facing databases! (Protected by a shitty 2000's-era username+password login interface) transferring credit card numbers in CLEAR TEXT. I swear I've seen every possible idiotic move from partners.

Literal Eli5: "it's a slang term that some people use, but it isn't something you should worry about right now. It's meant for adults"

Since I'm becoming a father soon, I started learning responses like this

I do hope you can find it! It's especially strange that the companies all implied that there was no answer (especially considering that reducing hallucinations has been one of the primary goals over the past year!) Maybe they meant that there was no answer at the moment. Much like how the wright Brothers had no way to control the random pitching and rolling of their aircraft and had no answer to it. (Of course the invention of the aileron would fix that later.)

That's right around 9% lower than the statistic that 62% of all statistics on the Internet are made up on the spot!
