Today's game is Project Zomboid. Me and some friends got back on our world and even got a new person on. I took the chance to blacksmith them a weapon and even build a fancy new materials cabinet. I asked them what they wanted and they said a machete, so i tried to make one for them. It was a little more of a headache finding the materials, but i did eventually get there.

More excitingly, i tried making one of our characters a set of plate armor. I mixed things up a little bit but the whole thing came out pretty coherent. They said they liked how mixed up the parts are because it makes them feel like an "apocalypse knight", so it looks like i wont be returning to the forge.

We had started to run low on food, so we all piled up into the mom van and took a trip to raid the local neighborhood houses. I ended up nabbing a deepfreeze i found too and loaded that in the backseat. I found we were running low on fridge space, as while our chef is low on food they insist on keeping raccoon heads in the freezer. As they are our main food person we have no choice but to comply.

Finally, we returned home for the night. We've been talking about making a trip into Louisville which would be interesting. Our new player was sure it "can't be that bad" so we'll have some fun seeing their opinion i suppose. We had everyone log off after and i went back to my Pokemon Platinum.

Louisville is quite bad, but by the time you get there it might not feel as bad because you should have decently good equipment. As a new player though...
