      I never knew I could respect someone and still hope they seek therapy in such equally strong amounts

        I tend to play PZ almost exclusively with the Week One mod, so being able to kit out a mobile base and then settle into a basement during the “final days” works quite nicely, and may also allow me to beat the plane crash incident in the days just before. Plus after the fallout (nuke or not) being to then find a basement after to settle down in gives the option of multiple bases if i live long enough, or if i decide to continue playthrough with another player in that instance if the inevitable happens.

    I had no interest in playing this game, and honestly still don’t. However, watching TNG in a new novel way is definitely in the cards.

      Just to be clear, “watching” is a bit of a misnomer. In Project Zomboid TVs play programs to dispense lore/world-build, show what’s happening outside the Exclusion Zone, teach recipes and skills to players, improve their mood (mental health is an important part of gameplay), potentially draw in nearby zombies with the light and noise, and give survivors something to do while resting during downtime.

      However, it’s all just text - the TV will light up, and if it’s tuned to a live channel or playing a VHS, a new line of text will pop up above it every few seconds. As the apocalypse advances more and more channels will go dark or switch to automated reruns (the attention to detail in this game is just *chef’s kiss*), eventually leaving looted VHS tapes as the only way to watch most programs.

      That said, if the modders used a program to extract subtitles and kept the timings, you could theoretically play the episode at the same time and watch it in sync alongside your character. Here’s hoping someone makes a mod that lets you launch VLC to a second monitor from within the game with the proper timing offsets!
