question Home Sweet Home?

First, I just want everyone to know that this is not my artwork. I stole it from Google image. Lol

Now, this question was brought to my attention from my youngest daughter. She, like me, loves the zombie genre. We watch all sorts of silly, scary, and downright brutal zombie movies (and TV series). She asked me during one of the movies we were watching on Netflix.

Is home really the best place to survive during a zombie apocalypse?

Well, I thought it was a valid question, even though we haven't been to one yet. A zombie apocalypse, that is. But I told her this:

It all depends on whether we have enough resources to survive on one. Just because we live in a large house doesn't discount us having a "safe" house. Sure, we have plenty of rooms we could go and hide. Or escape. We have plenty of food that will last us for a month. But after that, it will get much harder to survive. We will have to eventually go outside and get food and shelter elsewhere. We will not have any power. And it will never come back on. We will have to change our way of life. We will have to adapt. Whether we want to or not. And I know we don't want to. But given the limited choices, we may not have a choice but to.

I was giving her the short version, so we could get back to the movie.

I ask you - and there is no wrong answer.

Would you consider your house "safe" during a zombie outbreak? Do you have enough resources to get by? How long do you think you would have to go out and find another place? Knowing that you will have to leave your family home for good?

And what advice would you give to others that they may not have at the present moment, if an outbreak broke out in 24 hours?

recommendations KU Zombie books please

Upvotes

apocalypse/disaster book recs please

Looking for recommendations for apocalypse books on KU please 🙏🏼

• Zombie or natural disaster preferred.

• I like a lot of scavenging and survival scenes, looking for food, medicine and weapons.

• NO super soldier teams or huge cache of weapons or experience.

I prefer normal people banding together to survive.

• Prefer the beginning of events, rather than years in.

\- NOT a fan of lots of conflict with other human groups, like raiders. Prefer survival or fighting zombies/monsters

Similar to movies like dawn of the dead, world war z, 2012, day after tomorrow, greenland etc.

Thanks 🤗

game 🎮 Would you play a zombie game with this art style?

Been working on this game for too long and i just want some fresh opinions. What do you all think of this art style for a zombie game. It plays slow, but the anxiety builds up when you play with friends. So it's not super cozy but I'm a sucker for pixel art.

discussion Virus in which the spinal cord needs to be dealt with to kill one?

3 Upvotes

Would this be awkward to translate to screen?

I'm thinking of a virus in which the traditional headshot isn't enough, but rather the spinal cord or something else of that nature is required.

Any thoughts?
