Today's game is Zomboid. Me and my friend ended up continuing from our save from last time where we were playing a Dad Rock Band. Sadly i lost my character after he died looking for a car and I ended up making a new Character that's a mechanic. On my way back to our temporary base as my new character i bumped into a large horde along the way i had to fight before they migrated over to our base a few blocks away.

I named my character Wendell Martelli and he's a Trailer Park living mechanic with a love for Wrestling and works at the local Walmart Garage. I went with Mechanic because it will make it easier to start Hotwiring cars when i don't have a key.

To fit my new theme this we settled into a Mechanics shop (also because the space is nice). We scavenged some planks from the windows and barricaded them. I also looted some coveralls to wear to help sell the Mechanic bit.

We ended up having to start working towards getting carpentry up to move furniture because our house is lacking beds. On multiplayer Sleep isn't required, but we want furniture for the immersion aspect. We also intend to get a stove at some point because all we have is microwave.

Generally though, that's all we did. It was an exhausting day for the both me and my friend so it was very hands off and relaxed today.

It's the only game where a car can hide behind a tree.
