I like how for most of the video until like day 180, there was almost not a single scene where your character wasn’t either sneezing or coughing. That’s honestly impressive how you managed to be consistently sick for a total of 80 days straight.

[@Runetrantor]

Wouldnt it be 180 days? It seemed like he was sneezing the entire first video too, not sure he ever got a break.

[@gwennorthcutt421]

i caught whooping cough once and i had it for over three months... its called the "100 day cough" for a reason. as for the sneezing, maybe hes allergic to cabbage :B

[@user-tq5kj8ql9b]

The CDDA challenge starts you with a cold. As for how it's lasted so long, I recommend watching Retanaru's video on colds in PZ.

[@StormTheSquid]

I mean that's what it's like for me when I catch a cold irl, so

[@gwennorthcutt421]

@@user-tq5kj8ql9b thanks, i'll check it out! maybe our man here is immunocompromised so it just lasts 5ever

I like to imagine another survivor coming across an area you've ransacked and them going from excited to start scavenging to disappointed when they find nothing, to utterly confused by the dismantled tables, chairs, beds, stairs, cars and everything else.

I've seen copper stripped from the walls of homes _without_ the desperation of the apocalypse, this seems tame by comparison I saw this happen in Detroit by the way, among other things, such as the entire front porch or even the driveway

[@Ms.Pronounced_Name]

@AMan-xz7tx yeah, but that makes sense because they TOOK the stuff. What's happening here is the equivalent of the copper being torn out of the walls but then being left in a neat coil on the floor

[@AMan-xz7tx]

@AMan-xz7tx I genuinely don't know if that's a joke and I should laugh, or a real thing with a real name and I should be saddened

[@damsen978]

The thing with negative traits is that they don't make the game impossible, just slightly harder, and it also just makes things take longer to complete. Like reading books (slow reader) and catching a breath, everything is slower.

My favorite dreams are those where I get to survive a zombie apocalypse. My second favorite are when a new ambiguousamphibian Project Zomboid video drops.

[@houraisheperd9721]

What a coincidence! My favourite dreams are when I’m a zombie in a zombie apocalypse and am easily dispatched by a main character!

Some days it feels like life is a CDDA challenge, then ambiguousamphibian puts a smile on my face 🙂

[@shardsoforion]

Your videos always seem to show up as soon as I need them most. Just pulled myself out of a yt shorts doom-scroll and was starting to contemplate my poor life choices.

That's one hell of a cold, 200 days worth of sneezes and coughs!

[@z-tonicemporium4994]

A zombiod series that actually starts to reach points I've never seen. Are we going to actually see the skills to fully weaponize cars!

[@rmyers99]

These entries in the series never disappoint. I can't wait for part 3.

[@TheHylianBatman]

Amphibian is one of the finest players of PZ there is, so I truly love every episode of this series. I wonder how many days we'll get? I'm betting around 400.

[@Mrcaremal5]

Twice that easily I reckon

[@pierluigiadreani2159]

I am Happy your Channel has grew so much, and i am even happier to see your are still loyal to the game that made me discovery you. Nothing Better than you and project zomboid on a rainy day. Cheers

Nice to see Ambiguous Amphibian in the town I have spend most of my Project Zomboid time in

[@jimmydesouza4375]

I am glad your guy finally got over his cold, though near 200 days to do it is quite excessive :D

[@kathryncampbell4432]

I recommend adding the mod "Extreme Player Weights" and taking one of the offered traits for this build; my recommendation is "Very Thin", as it puts on a 3-hour time limit where you HAVE to find food or expire. Was a bit interesting for my playthrough, as I have to keep looking for food for my character; currently, she has to figure out how to get into a grocery store.

[@phiphi2209]

I love your editing, it’s the simple things but the sound of a sad trumpet always makes me laugh

[@Alizudo]

I honestly enjoy this character even more than Gerald Williams. Please, I need to see this man finish his second winter.

[@ingreylouise]

The editing feeling a bit more toned down here felt just right for me. I couldn't concentrate before, the sim city edit was too much I'm afraid. Really enjoying this playthrough 😊 ❤

[@boomshockalocka]

I guess I'd like to see up to day 400ish. Survival of the second winter sounds like a nice goal.

[@toddcarter4829]

Okay, now with this second episode, and I'm hooked! More please I know they must take a while to make, but my god, is it worth it!

[@UnicornsExist17]

Wonderful play, AA!! ❤ I love learning new gaming strategies, like when you hit garage doors with planks or pipes!

[@Wh173c0c0]

This was great! I can't wait to see you make it to the one-year mark. You can do it!

[@wyattedgemon1927]

Love the content I can’t wait until I see another video of yours like this. Don’t be afraid to add a little more depth on such a long play-through but I did like how the video was edited

[@eternalrogue832]

Oh my, a new video to comment on instead of commenting on 3 and 4 year old VoDs??? What is this world coming to lol. Love your content. I am the one who has been watching all the old stuff

[@deatheven13]

It really is amazing what the benefit of knowledge will do for a character in this type of environment. Gerald Williams was the prototype. This is peak performance.

[@TheOwlinbayern]

Keep going AA!! You always make me want to play Zomboid!

[@IOFLOOD]

You just need to stay warm for a few hours to get rid of a cold. Exercise in 10 minute intervals to increase ypur body temperature. Rest until your temperature drops below optimal lvels, then exercise for 10 more minutes. Repeat until the cold is gone, and continue the routine for a few more hours afterwards so it doesn't immediately return. You can get rid of the cold on the first or second day in CDDA this way.

[@Sarvonis]

Yay more of this challege! Love your project zombiod video commentary!

[@billybob8370]

I love when he plays this

[@LargeBlueCircle]

Gerald Williams is BACK??? Wow its been a MINUTE. Whats goin on AA. Im also doing a CDDA challenge what a coincidence. First time ive tried fishing in 1.85k hours. Man. OP. but my line snapped and now we must brave the muldraugh highway to reach the book store. Brutal. At over 4k kills and were only half way there D ':

[@Merlynn132]

That's not Gerald Williams. That's Washingbeard Democritus. As you can see at 58 seconds in. My guess would be Gerald Williams was lost to a save that was incompatible with the new build.

[@LargeBlueCircle]

@@Merlynn132 OHHHHHHHHHH hey good catch. Atleast I remembered that character's name! ima lil proud of my self. Its been like years lol

finally dude i loved the first video

[@epxix]

haven’t even watched 5 seconds and its a black screen but i already know this is going to be fire 🔥

[@EricLS]

Man, I think it might just be time to adjust the Fitness and Strength mechanics. If I did 60 Minutes of Burpees and Push-ups each everyday for an entire winter, I’m gonna be a hell of a lot more than “average”, no matter how weak I started. If anything, you should just have to maintain. Make it easier to acquire, but lack of exercise causes you to lose it. My character I just made will have 10 strength once my Underweight trait goes away, without a single push up. And then he’ll just….be that way forever? Even if I spend a whole week inside reading and watching VHS tapes and sewing and stuff? Cmon man

[@liamjamesharris]

Wormman Williams Journey must continue.

[@hauthicus]

Its nice seeing project zomboid with a bit of the old style commentarry you used to do back during your original all negative traits challenge run a few years ago

[@Quirkyhndl]

Love this one. You should do some Wyldermyth. Outside your normal genre, I know, but the combined story telling would be epic.

[@3amProductionsTM]

I love your project zomboid vids =)

[@Takayama-sama]

This man is an inspiration! If he can slim down and survive during the zombie apocalypse then maybe I can slim down too! Hopefully not by eating nothing but worms and cabbages…

[@velzanna2281]

Ah at last continuation of the story of Washingbeard! I like to think of him as Gerald Jr. Btw after watching you play PZ for hundreds of hours I finally picked it up for myself two days ago. I’m beginning to learn but the UI atrocious.

[@og_propagandapdx8592]

[@infernogaming9332]

There's an easier way to train maintenance than to hit doors. You can just shove it repeatedly by holding spacebar and as long as you have a weapon in your hands it'll give you maintenance xp. That way your weapons won't break and you can do it as long as you'd like.
