Tonight was Zomboid night. We inducted a Friend into our Zomboid Group, and have a possible 4th on the way. We started a new world with the group, and decided to take on the prison for fun (something none of us have ever done, at least on the preset difficulty). Me and my Friend who played Cable decided to make a new character and save Jerry and Cable for when it's just the two of us.

My new character is Huey Warner. He's a Doctor who had his license taken away after replacing a patients lungs with a Pigeon to see what would happen. That didn't stop him from practicing medicine though, and he has his own back alley clinic that he runs out of the rose wood church. Right now he's going through a bit of a Governor Arc right now and is only a little off his rocker and has only Amputated a few limbs from scratches from zombies (probably for the best though, don't want to risk that 25% chance).

While clearing the prison i ran ahead and got killed (you can see my last corpse there with the Hiking bag). My friends choke pointed the zombies through a doorway while i made my way back over too the prison. I put Huey in a Hawaiian Shirt and Khaki shorts. The lore reasoning is that the Huey that died wasn't actually him, it was a body double he swapped in last moment. He then took a brief vacation to Hawaii before coming back to help.

I thought you could only amputate limbs with one of the "The Only Cure" mods?

Also, I just finished an all-night PZ session myself. It's almost 5:30 in the morning here, and every second was worth it.

Oh shit, yeah, you're right. I've had it on so many playthroughs at this point that i forgot it's not part of the main game

I've been playing with mods so long I don't even know what vanilla looks like anymore

the jump to B42 is going to be jarring once some of my staple mods are gone

Wait, how can you replace human's lung with a Pigeon? I mean, without morals, I understand that, but how would the science of it work. I want to know more about what happened to that person.

Good luck with taking over the prison!

Just watch Meet the Medic, same principles.

Archimedes!

Knowing me that was probably somewhere in the back of my mind when coming up with his lore and i just didn't realize it

They have a fluttery feeling in their heart and pigeon shit leaking from their chest cavity.

I like to imagine survival of his patient was at the forefront of his mind when he did that lol
