Day 1 of A New Life, Bionic and Psionic | CDDA "Becoming" Ep. 1

[@blshouse]

Planks are your friend when bashing furniture/doors. It doesn't matter if they get damaged, unlike the tools you find or craft.

[@halgrimhelgrimson]

yay finally another youtuber roleplaying cdda

[@AreimaYT]

If you say another, I assume you've found Rycon. :D

[@halgrimhelgrimson]

@@AreimaYT ohh yeah watched almost all of his stuff

[@homers1999]

Collar? Fingerless gloves? Yep, he's a gamer

[@AreimaYT]

LOL

[@brucepalmer8846]

Awesome it’s a new day 1. Thank you. Another story, fantastic! Have a great run. I will be following all of it.😊

[@kernium]

I'm just imagining the AVGN shoving zombies with the NES Power Glove and I love it.

[@krazyivan9733]

"I love the power glove; it's so bad."

[@Dragoderian]

I saw you pass over the Dive Bag in your closet as a 'Dive Hat' and was ready to scream. It's not a great bag, but it's what you needed right then.

[@AreimaYT]

Ohhhhh. Shit I missed that. lol

[@zeeb2190]

No idea about suggestions But i must say, it was definitely a relief seeing a fight in an apartment tower without the risk of teleporting into a freefall. That being said i didn't expect the consequences of doing that to your enemies to be so dire (im assuming the boomer that fell 4 stories, since it still exploded. Was what drew that massive horde)

[@AreimaYT]

I suspect that combined with them spotting me in the windows crafting.

[@Hawkfizzles]

Finally another new series! Was caught off guard about what happened the last series! Are you a caves of qud fan?

[@AreimaYT]

Tbh... yeah... it was a result of me not enjoying that series. Joshua was too basic.

[@jacobe2995]

lol that number of zeds was crazy. I really wish I knew what happened to spawn that many haha

[@yihuya]

So glad to find a channel doing CDDA videos!

[@Just_A_Little_Mor]

I love the new character's premise! It's very different from the previous two both in personality and abilities. Kind of a meta-comment, but I'm very happy to see your content get a larger audience and more interactions. More people will experience these amazing stories!

[@AreimaYT]

Yeah its definitely growing, which was honestly a surprise to me.

[@MrEdioss]

I'm here for CDDA, greatest story telling tool.

[@AreimaYT]

Agreed.

[@user-xg4ey7km4m]

I haven't been commenting on your stuff as much but the rain world music is fun. Keep up the fun stuff

[@AreimaYT]

One of my favorite games. It deserves the recognition.

[@azael__]

New episode is popping off

[@AreimaYT]

Hopefully I can keep up the pace

[@SiberianOldPal]

Yes! Nanomachines, son!

[@anonopossum]

with the collar he had maybe you should give him the masochist trait

[@AreimaYT]

Either that or cat ears. lol. I'm not **that** silly though... yet...

[@anonopossum]

@@AreimaYT his slow decline into catboy to cope with the apocalypse

[@gallomancer_mkV]

Im really really excited for this playthrough! This is way more developed narratively than joshua was

[@AreimaYT]

Yeah, that was kind of the point of starting over with a new series. I missed the story telling of Vellum while doing Joshua. I have a lot of plans for this series, and am hoping they all come together.

[@gallomancer_mkV]

@AreimaYT i really like it so far man, I can tell you're more excited about this one! I love the character you thought up, and seeing you explore bionics will be super fun

[@MrDispacher]

Hey man just so you know I think you can bash the wooden doors down using like a plank. But leveling locking is also good.

[@Skibididoober]

Always love to see a CDDA playthrough

[@Magnet977]

9:00 Thankfully I'm assuming the apocalypse turned the gas off, because otherwise smashing open a gas stove might not be the wisest decision. Great way to make an explosion if an unfortunate series of events happens though.

[@AreimaYT]

With how power and such is simulated it seems to be the lore excuse that the portal storms knocked basically all utilities out universally. Although I'd love to see a gas explosion in a game like Zomboid, where the utilities stay on for a week or so. XD

[@UpbeatMisanthropist]

my best ever run in CDDA was with a character with the light magic skills. Night Eyes let you become a beast at night, crawling the streets with a bow and arrow, or perhaps a long spear. Zombies have crap dark vision, so a silent, deadly weapon means you can take them out with impunity.

[@AreimaYT]

Bow, long spear and night vision? Perhaps check my Vellum series, you are basically describing that run, haha!!

[@octalmage]

@@AreimaYTabsolutely. I tried looting at night without night eyes and it’s no where close to as effective.

[@Dragoderian]

On the ground floor, heck yeah.

[@atreidesonthethames3715]

Great title, it reminds me of the Tommyknockers from Stephen King

[@BradlyClarke]

Best wishes

[@elementalterror]

That was an incredible amount of Z's good lord

[@AreimaYT]

Yeeeep. So many factors added up to make that horde, but man it really added up.

[@cakedrew]

quick suggestion: try not to pick up too many psionic paths, each one spreads out your learning of them more. so with two paths, it will take approximately twice the time to get to say, one of the current apex powers of telekinesis, than if you only had that one path.

[@AreimaYT]

Yeah, I agree with this. This is also why I started with a crystal. Often times when you finally find a crystal its colored and to get it to black (to train with) your forced to learn a new path. I plan on keeping only these two paths the entire run.

[@SomeCuteCat]

WOO NEW CDDA DAY WOOO

[@billyhelbert6686]

YES! I was at least half-right with the psionics! Though I was hoping for Mutant I'm sure there are Bionics geared twoards psychic powers right?

[@AreimaYT]

Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder why I took robust genetics? XD Bionics are kinda their own thing, from vanilla. But they mesh well with psionics

[@billyhelbert6686]

@@AreimaYT Okay, I might've missed that. But depending on the mutation they really don't play well with bionics I don't think. But hey, this is coming from a guy that hasn't played the game in... like a year at least? Still excited to see where it goes though! And the base story you've laid out is already intriguing! But I forsee you meditating a lot to improve your psychic powers cause I imagine the bionics power source and psychic eating into stamina/caloric intake will be irritating to manage until you upgrade your bionic power source.

[@AreimaYT]

@billyhelbert6686 Yeah I will have to be careful combining bionics/mutations together. Which is part of why I took Robust. If I mutate a limb/part that already has a bionic, the bionic will pop off and I won't be able to reinstall it. I plan to be more focused on bionics, but there are a few Chimera mutations I really really want. Edit: yeah the calorie cost of Bionic/Psionics will be a struggle in the beginning. Tbh a struggle I'm looking forward to overcoming with a solid food setup late-early to midgame.

[@billyhelbert6686]

@@AreimaYT Can't wait to see how this goes! Also does the Mind over Matter mod have any psychic specific mutations or no? Just curious.

[@cakedrew]

@@billyhelbert6686 sort-of, but its more a couple of abilities you learn to use. otherwise the only mutations are the passive traits you get from each path. the mod has a whole lot of special crafting recipes though.

[@noahmiller8042]

ooh i do love me some biotic horror

[@AreimaYT]

Mhmm!! I love monsters. XD XD

[@nicedayright4064]

Just a bit of a retrospective, but the makeshift crowbar is kinda... useless? if you have a hammer. The hammer is more portable, and the pipe+fittings lets you make a pipe mace, which is both a better weapon and bashing tool. I feel like a lot of CDDA players default to the crowbar to start off out of sheer habit more than anything else.

[@AreimaYT]

I made it before finding the hammer, because I needed the prying to dissasemble some things. I agree its redundant, but sometimes having redundancies can be good, depending on what resources you have.

[@Brendan_Myers]

Jeez those streets are looking nasty, this series should be good!

[@AreimaYT]

We got this. I have no fear. (maybe)

[@SiberianOldPal]

I didn't watch the video to the end yet, but I am pretty sure hammers also have prying. Maybe even prying 2?

[@AreimaYT]

You might be right, I might have missed that. I thought it was prying 1, like makeshift crowbar. We have a "backpack" at the end tho so def figure it out soon.

[@anonopossum]

@@SiberianOldPal i checked and its prying 1, which i didnt realize i thought it was just nail prying

[@Melganor]

Magiclysm the best Clysm! ^^

[@poimon5607]

What tileset are you using? also curious to see how Aiden's gonna get outta this building and not die instantly xD

[@AreimaYT]

Its called UndeadPeople. I have a updated version I downloaded that has mod tiles like MoM and Magiclysm.

[@imreallyannoying4477]

Are you on the stable or experimental version of CDDA?

[@AreimaYT]

I am on experimental 0.H, if you got any other questions there is a link to Episode 0 (that answers everything) in description!

[@Faalsnor]

is this still an active playthrough?

[@AreimaYT]

This playthru just started a week ago and is my current active series, yes. New videos every mon and friday

[@TrevonTheoriesInc]

Is this a new story with the Herbert update?

[@AreimaYT]

Yep! This is effectively Herbet (0.H) even though I started a bit before its release. I am using a release candidate version!
