  • For a new challenge, I tried surviving in a single car in Project Zomboid with only the contents of a starter vehicle. Can anyone sustain life with food, water, and shelter here?

      but the world never explored,
      one who gets the key too long will get bored
      because thou'th key'th,
      shalln't keep the world to exploreth
      Once thou'th world explored,
      key to survive, is on the lord.

      I say yes.
      Each time you replace a part, that part becomes a part of the car itself. Even if you change each part in turn, each one is becoming a part of the car and is thus still the same car.
      Edit, since I made this posts I've heard two really good points:
      1: What matters is the purpose, the history, the essence of thing, much moreso than its mere materials. Even if you were to replace the entire thing at once, as long as you are actively trying to stay true to those things then the result is it is still the original car. For example the Gold Pavilion Temple in Kyoto has burned down and been rebuilt several times, but every time they've rebuilt it they've fully committed to keeping the purpose, history and essence of it perfectly preserved, so it's still the same Golden Pavilion Temple. The west is too fixated on the materials themselves, when that's not the most critical part.
      2: If you want a short and to the point version for answering the "Ship of Theseus" question, then it has two definitive answers:
      A: If you're selling tickets to see it, then it is the original.
      B: If you're selling the boat itself, then it's not and you don't tell the buyer that it's not in mint condition any more.

A week ago, after watching couple of this guy's videos, I went through my HDD looking for an old copy or backup, but not finding anything I just bought it. First it came the frustration of not being able to survive more than a day or so, but I've learned from my mistakes and currently have a pretty nice base in one of those posh two-story houses in Muldraugh, south the road where Cortman Medical is. I am struggling to find seeds, and I lost in the house's first survivor my welder mask (a shame, considering I've got a propane torch and two tanks), he might be wandering over there, I hope I find it soon.

    Y'know, I never thought Project Zomboid would be so philosophical, but after watching most of the adventures of Worm Man and all of the roof-dwelling maniac, I'm convinced this is one of the best games for learning about the world and ourselves. When everything is terrible and it takes forever to not die to zombies, we truly do get a glimpse into ourselves. For in such a dangerous situation, at least we're safe inside our minds. And our cars.

      Truth.
      I was thinking the other day after playing PZ for probably too long: you cannot win. There is actually no way to "win" this game. Only you can decide if you have reached your goals. In a long enough time line survival drops to zero. No matter how you lived, you die like a dog in the mud, being eaten by the undead. All that you accumulated, all that inventory management... and then it is over and we are left to contemplate what it was all for...

    Been wanting to do a "Van Down by the River" (in the words of the late, great comedian, Chris Farley) run for quite some time now. Here is the result - enjoy!
    Lots of folks have asked about the music in these videos. I use a combination of Epidemic Sounds (recently became an affiliate of them - I greatly appreciate any use of my referral link if you're starting a trial: share.epidemicsound.com/3sMm7f ). In particular, a lot of the pieces I choose are either various bossa nova, or piano pieces, particularly by Trevor Kowalski and Megan Wofford, among others. Then there's TH-cam free music library and Shockwave Sound (requires a license) for many of the other classical pieces.

    12:55 "remember, there's always a chance to rekindle the relationship anew as long as there's still life". I do not know how these words are related to that, happening on the screen, but I am in a part of life right now, when I need these words. It was like an ointment to my sores. At the same time it was like a missing piece to my puzzle. You give me hope, Amphibian. I maybe not going to play PZ, but your videos, your philosophical wanderings are very inspiring. Wish me luck and thank you from my heart.

      If that's a Dodge Dynasty analogue a wai - warm air intake - will help with fuel economy. And for the record 80kph is around 50mph, on most cars of that period 50-60mph is the most fuel economical speed.

      @@rosiehawtrey it's surprising that it's set that fast, as usually the faster you go, the steeper the power required. It may be more accurate to say the car has been 'de-tuned' to run less efficiently at lower speeds, so that it will be more efficient at highway speeds. The window sticker doesn't care what your fuel economy is at 25mph, only 55mph. I think if they wanted to optimize for a lower speed, say 25mph, they could have much higher fuel economy ratings. (I don't know if air resistance follows the square law, but it's that sort of curve, the faster you go, the greater the percentage of power loss due to drag)

    Somehow this reminds me of this fountain pen I have. Usually you buy pens by the dozen and discard them just as easily when they run out. With this fountain pen I bought when it runs out I replace the cartridge. Having it last for a lot longer than any other pen I used before. If need be, I may even try and swap or fix the tip. Even if it's a small thing, it can be quite satisfying having something to keep and take care of. And in turn, you will have something familiar to serve you for a long time.
