Base-Building Run in the title of this series was the biggest jebait ive faced in my innocent life

[@alicecousland]

I must say that you're one of the few people I watch more for the person than the game they're playing. Being a literature student myself I just enjoy the discussions and thoughts you bring, it's really nice to have on the background while playing after a hard day of studying, I few like I'm not procrastinating to much. Also, your voice is really nice and calming, though not in a "make me sleepy" way.

[@stephenhartley2853]

i have a theory that ambiguousamphibian and sethzeentach are the same guy. my thinking is seth is amphibian putting on a silly voice. not sure tho. they play very similar games that often have cannabalism.

[@SC2ZergPlayer]

I wish you would setup a playlist for these in-order. Could watch through the whole adventure without getting up

[@BlameCo]

Ambiguous amphibian is moisturizer for the soul. Conditioner for the ear.

[@thebulgarslayer1569]

The "liberal" in liberal arts stands for free, therefore the "free arts" or those studies that were reserved for those who were "free" from having their livelihood dependent on their labor.

[@__Pigeon]

Enjoying the Salty adventure, throughly look forward to each upload since I couldn’t catch them live

[@SpaceAgeDiaper]

In the United States, it is rare for a police department to have an armory stocked with weapons (contrary to how PZ portrays). Most cops take their sidearm home and may even produce their own rifle to use at work. Most cars have a shotgun left in them though. Things could have been different in the 90s when this game takes place. If you remember from years ago I mentioned something similar to you about the the military base. Love watching your videos!

[@erikhanseisenheber]

It probably would've been less so in the 90s if the North Hollywood Shootout is anything to go by.

[@1hourdeathmusic145]

Some PD's in america do have armories stocked with weapons, and back in the day they mostly had armories full of weapons. Its illegal to own a gun in California, but police ARE still able to use them if need be, and they HAVE to be stored somewhere with a TON of security, example, a vault with officers gaurding it, as well as several other security measures.

[@1hourdeathmusic145]

It depends on the state, and township.

[@zacklemore]

“liberal” in the context of liberal arts is from the adjectival definition of the latin word “liber” meaning “free.” liber can mean both “book” or “free” depending on whether the i is long or short. short i means book, long i means free. the term refers to the group of studies that enlightenment intellectuals deemed essential for any free man to know in order to be properly educated and equipped to remain free, i.e. the core idea behind the quote “know your history or be doomed to repeat it.” essentially they believed if you didn’t have some substantive familiarity with the liberal arts then you would be susceptible to making mistakes and misjudgments that would end up robbing you of your liberties and freedom of thought/choice, making you a slave either figuratively or literally. sorry for the length of this but i felt it was important to note :-)

[@canisdirus6045]

"A car is like a little house that you sit in and it takes you places" Now this is the kind of profound wisdom you don't get with a conservative arts degree

[@Sabamonster]

Smart ammunition is already being deployed on modern battlefields. It's pretty much exactly as you said. Fire it - it finds, tracks and hits it's intended target.

[@canislupid2466]

About measurements In the UK it's a free for all; we use both metric and imperial and interchange between them I think in yards, feet, stone, miles, inches, centimetre, litres, pints etc Don't even get me started about what the Pound Sterling was like, it used to be non-decimal

[@ericf112]

Your series has been great. I have been watching it all week.

[@Ffourteen]

To be clear, the United States does not use the Imperial System. That was standardized in the UK in 1824, decades after the American Revolution and we never adopted it. Although many of our measurements are the same, or close enough, the measurements of volume are significantly different. The United States did look into adopting the metric system several times, as early as the beginning of the eighteenth century. History Matters did a great, and short, video on the subject.

[@metalsauce920]

Love your series. After making it this far into it, I plan on buying this game now. Looking forward to more!

[@pernouh446]

Base-building run without any basebuilding ;)

[@xaroxero]

Bummer that you had a De Lisle carbine and didn't use it. It's a perfect zombie slaying weapon. It's a .45acp bolt action carbine with an integral suppressor designed during WW2 for use by commandos. It's exceptionally quiet.

[@noctoskanan5716]

I enjoy you playing split screen and i really enjoy these long video's

[@Dragongaga]

BMG stands indeed for Browning Machine Gun because that's what the cartridge is based on. btw, apart from the imperial system, the US are also the only country in the world who uses a Period instead of a Komma between the first digit and the decimals

22.lr is 22 long rifle so there are also 22 short and bird shot 22 mag 223 is also 22 cal bullet but a much larger case 30-06 is 30cal developed in 1906 so the Springfield was made in 1903 and most where rechambered from 30-03 ....after 1906 they were made for 30-06 round that 30cal round comes as light as 55 grain sabot round groundhog and varmint all the way up to 290 grain bear and elk and its over 100 years old the Browning bar was a fully auto 30-06 ....hope that info helps but if your not handling those firearms and ammo you won't remember because its just some #s👍

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

28:06 The 'guy's foot' that was the standard of 'a foot' measurements used to be the king's foot. The whole reason the measurement system is called the 'imperial system' is because it came from imperial England. The king of England's foot used to be the standard. However, because kings die, the measurement kept changing. Eventually, they stopped changing it and set the standard, but for the longest time, the imperial measurement system used to be the most inconsistent system ever. And this is why I roll my eyes every time a Brit points and laughs at Americans for using the imperial system- like, we got this shitty-ass system from *y'all's ancestors,* fam. Hyuck it up, but it's England that had the 'genius' idea to have a shitty-ass system to begin with.

[@ryleypickering7805]

I know I’m a year late but I think the metric system is better for everything except for temperature. For every day use as a person there are more integer degrees of temperature within the survivable range for humans that aren’t negatives like 0 is so cold you’ll die after a while and 100 is hot enough that you can also die from heatstroke in the right conditions, idk that’s how I rationalize it

[@aidenmeredith]

In a country that speaks 0.7 of a language on average, the fact that they expect the US population to understand a measurement system so unnecessarily complicated is pretty funny. "yes, we expect you to be able to remember which units are split into 4ths, 8ths, 12ths, 16ths, etc - and be able to seamlessly transition between them"

[@madmorgo6233]

I'm trying that thing. Day and a half with no gaming, day and a half to go. I've been arguing online WAY too much for my comfort, tho. XD

[@bigdumdog]

idk about most people but i would love a fireside chat type thing with deep talks and ur awesome voice weither they are short tiktok like things or even long form like this type of stuff

[@SteelUnicorn69]

Ambig they do have "smart rifles" but it's more of a scope. And it corrects for things like wind and how off it was on the first shot...... Built in range finder and you can put in windage and what nots..... It's scary. Only like $5000 usd

[@xaroxero]

There's a rifle that uses a computer to ensure first shot hits. You tell the computer what your bullet weight and powder load is and then press a button on your desired target. The computer tracks and follows the target and when you pull the trigger the rifle won't fire until the bullet will hit the target.

[@ethanwhitehead2085]

There is nothing wrong with moon-landing imperial units. The only real benefit to switching to metric (besides shutting up the euro-conformists) would be to omit the unit conversions when communicating to & from the USA and other countries. If you are a scientist, engineer, or technician, then chances are you'll have no problem working with either set of units, and you'd better be able to anyway considering that all the different machines and infrastructure in both unit systems will be around for decades or even centuries. Also a fun fact: the USA is already in the process of converting to metric with the passage of the Metric Conversion Act of 1975, so this whole argument is kinda pointless anyway.

[@madmorgo6233]

The Metric Conversion Act of... when? :P

[@dierare]

It's always weird hearing someone talk about something like a "Project Zomboid 2" when the first one isn't even released yet. Sure it's been years and years but they're still in early access alpha. Quite alot of the small team zombie survival games are, actually

Very based takes on private property, I'd long suspected your philosophical ramblings on struggle and survival in kenshi and other games were the hints of empathetic and socially minded political views that might scare off a growing audience

[@HauntingSpectre]

In a video game, sure. In reality? Why don't you just make copies of your house keys and hand them out to homeless people, or drug addicts. See how quick you believe in having your own private space with a lock. Hell, I've had friends I've put up in my home, that I had to kick out because they literally destroyed the walls / Furniture etc. Edit: The concept only works if everyone respects each other, and unfortunately we're not built that way.

[@arbusthurmapoly6049]

By growing audience do you mean reasonable people at large?

[@bewawolf19]

Isn't it just the standard opinion of the entirety of the socialist side of philosophy? Not particularly innovative or out of the way no controversial. Empathetic and socially minded when applied to a philosophical take is also kinda. . .Weird compliments to choose as all social policy is empathetic and socially minded by definition of being social policy.

[@madmorgo6233]

@@HauntingSpectre this. I'm never living with friends again, no matter when, where, or who. I appreciate the altruist mentality but it's burnt me enough times to kill my empathy. If I clear out my own space with a shotgun and put up some walls (in Zomboid, aha of course 😅)... you can bet it's my private space. That's a rule in nature, "survival of the fittest" "will to power" or something like that... And I'll let you in, but first I'll show you my little graveyard out the back, and the next hole that's a-waiting. People do suck 🤷

[@SvendleBerries]

Yeah, I died a little inside when he said he thought private ownership was stupid lol I mean, free stuff all around sounds great at first...until you realize that other Humans exist. Human nature makes a Communist "utopia" impossible because theres always going to be power hungry people that will just take everything for themselves. And they wouldnt be wrong in doing so, since it technically belongs to nobody, and then they get to make the rules on who gets to have what. Then several years, maybe even decades down the road, scores of people start dying of hunger and the country falls apart because such an economic model is not sustainable. Its all a lie. Like when politicians talk about "free healthcare" lol Its not free. _Nothing_ is free. You want to know how "free" healthcare is paid for? By raising your taxes. So sure, you wont have to pay anything up front. But now your paycheck is smaller. And not just yours. _Everybodies_ pay check is now smaller to pay for that "free" healthcare only a portion of the population actually wanted. Its nice to dream, but thats the only place where such an idea can actually work.
