Today’s game is Stranded Deep. While i was playing through AC Shadows, i had a friend ask if we could play something. While normally Halo is our go to game for multiplayer, i have burnt him out on that after he created a monster from me (i’ve legit played a total of 90 current playlist games, and have no intent of stopping anytime soon until i 100% MCC). So we downloaded this, which we’ve had in our library for a while after i gifted it to him.
I personally have fond memories for this game, even if it’s a little cheap and buggy. I remember being younger and seeing a youtuber play the early Access, and i’d tune in like every tuesday just to catch his lets plays. Playing it as an adult though? It feels a bit less magical, still fun to play with friends though. One major complaint outside of the Gameplay though is that this game has the worst implementation of TAA i’ve ever seen. I’m playing 4k, ultra settings, and everything was ghosting. I ended up saying fuck it and turned AA off entirely.
Me and my friend ended up resorting to tribalism within a day after our unfortunate plane crash (our headcannon is that there in fact was no pilot, and we both were just drunk driving the plane). In this “tribal” society i in fact, did all the work while my friend just relaxed. What a good friend.
I ended up making a Fire for our little rag tag duo to gather around. We ended up catching a fish which we named Harold to make our Duo into a Trio. All was well until my Friend cooked harold and ate him. We put it to a vote and in a total of 2 votes to 0, he got 3 slaps from the communal paddle (seen above).
All was going well, until my friend died to a shark after a run to an island for stones to make my Stove. I ran out to try and save him while his corpse was using the Raft for sick tricks, and i was sadly mauled by the same shark. In my final moments i got a picture of his corpse doing a sick trick on the raft though.
Zomboid is a great super tedious game, the biggest issue with playing is having to know you personally need to know how something works for the game to let you do it.

I haven’t played it myself, but OP used to share the screenshot, and their in-game story of what happened. They were fun.
