- For a new challenge, I tried surviving in a single car in Project Zomboid with only the contents of a starter vehicle. Can anyone sustain life with food, water, and shelter here?

This video is just a long philosophical argument for Right To Repair. "If you put attention and care into your possessions they will last you a long long time. Preserve the things that matter to you. The discipline for which you care for your possessions forges a mindset capable of weathering any storm."

Living out of a car is my favorite way to play pz
I thought this void WAS about philosphy and then I realized wait its about a zombie video game lol
I like the image of a man spear fishing while leaning out of his car window.

With a long enough stick, you can do anything....ANYTHING.
@@someasiandude4797 welcome to the car nation, or truck nation if you live in Texas or New Mexico
@@firstname4097 I live in California and there is a car crash every Sunday
Now the question to ask yourself is, "If every part is gradually replaced, is it still the same car?" Theseus' car
As long as the VIN is the same; yeah, totally.
Legally at least.
Lol
Vsauce, Michael here
I say yes.
Each time you replace a part, that part becomes a part of the car itself. Even if you change each part in turn, each one is becoming a part of the car and is thus still the same car.
Edit, since I made this posts I've heard two really good points:
1: What matters is the purpose, the history, the essence of thing, much moreso than its mere materials. Even if you were to replace the entire thing at once, as long as you are actively trying to stay true to those things then the result is it is still the original car. For example the Gold Pavilion Temple in Kyoto has burned down and been rebuilt several times, but every time they've rebuilt it they've fully committed to keeping the purpose, history and essence of it perfectly preserved, so it's still the same Golden Pavilion Temple. The west is too fixated on the materials themselves, when that's not the most critical part.
2: If you want a short and to the point version for answering the "Ship of Theseus" question, then it has two definitive answers:
A: If you're selling tickets to see it, then it is the original.
B: If you're selling the boat itself, then it's not and you don't tell the buyer that it's not in mint condition any more.
@@KCzz15 exactly, I don't get how there's even a discussion about this, it's just immediately logical to me
to me this is like watching a guy who has an intense phobia of not being in contact with his car

This channel is literally pioneering the popularity of this game, respects
Is it growing now? I haven't played it much since it first came out years ago but it was always a favorite gem of mine.
@@nickpurdy69 Yeah, it's reaching it's record peak concurrent players time and time again, with amphibous' videos, and now also people like northernlion.
Someone bought it for me and I think you're right. I'm getting warmed up to it.
I started playing the first time it came, as a demo or so, and then forgot it for a long while. A week ago, after watching couple of this guy's videos, I went through my HDD looking for an old copy or backup, but not finding anything I just bought it. First it came the frustration of not being able to survive more than a day or so, but I've learned from my mistakes and currently have a pretty nice base in one of those posh two-story houses in Muldraugh, south the road where Cortman Medical is. I am struggling to find seeds, and I lost in the house's first survivor my welder mask (a shame, considering I've got a propane torch and two tanks), he might be wandering over there, I hope I find it soon.
@@nickpurdy69 play it again man. All the updates has make it so much better
Next video is just gonna be can I survive project zomboid while standing completely still and he’ll still someone do it
Ah this reminds me of the much-lauded "Skyrim without walking" challenge by ymfah
@@ambiguousamphibian watched this yesterday. True legend
To be fair you could do it for a little bit by only relying on zombie drops and luring all of them to you but after you clear out the neighbourhood you'd be screwed
@@miniminion8866 I think there’s will be an animation exploit, that moves you for a bit, but it’s not count as moving

Sir, you're not playing Project Zomboid game you're just showing us a simulation of an average Joe's life in San Francisco
Nah the streets are too clean
Too few zombies
You guys have never been to sf huh there's plenty of zombies
Who is joe?
@@yuttermulek4569 Joe “Average Joe” Vossi is a notorious serial killer from the San Bernardino area. He was a fixture in the LA mob during the 1970’s into the early ‘90’s. He was also known for being made up by me, right now, for you. Hope that helps.
I just admire how much of a soothing experience the unclear reptiles videos are
(pulls up to a zombie, rolls down window) "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
"And if you think you can do better than me..."
"YOU'RE DAMN WRONG I'M GOOD AT IT, GET OUTTA HERE"
a fucking Legend
So inspirational
Never thought I’d watch a philosophical man play a zombie game and learn quotes that can help improve ones mind, yet here we are. Love it ambiguous, keep it up
I'd love to see him play the forest and spout philosophy while the cannibals SCREEEEEEEE in the distance.
9:35 Dude I think that's Ash Ketchum
That hat do be kinda Pokemon tho
I do love seeing my favorite UA-camrs watching the same videos that I do.
"Naturally I scratched myself on the groin" - groin injuries are disproportionate in the apocalypse.
Thanks for this!
I love your project zomboid content especially, really brightens my day!
Glad to hear it - thanks!
Yeah same
Always enjoy your uploads to UA-cam, and I really enjoy PZ.
Yea I wish I could afford a PC I live vicariously through AA tho
@@illmaddox91 yeah same
What an inspiring video. Great work :)
woah, dpad is here what a crazy time to see you
My name is fuhrman that’s crazy
...🤨
Y'know, I never thought Project Zomboid would be so philosophical, but after watching most of the adventures of Worm Man and all of the roof-dwelling maniac, I'm convinced this is one of the best games for learning about the world and ourselves. When everything is terrible and it takes forever to not die to zombies, we truly do get a glimpse into ourselves. For in such a dangerous situation, at least we're safe inside our minds. And our cars.
Truth.
I was thinking the other day after playing PZ for probably too long: you cannot win. There is actually no way to "win" this game. Only you can decide if you have reached your goals. In a long enough time line survival drops to zero. No matter how you lived, you die like a dog in the mud, being eaten by the undead. All that you accumulated, all that inventory management... and then it is over and we are left to contemplate what it was all for...
Ambiguous is just the modern philosopher.

My father passed away last week, and i know it sounds cheesy, but your video was prophetic to me, "to value and take care of what matters to you" this theme rings home extremely hard for me, as now im left with all his possessions, his home and vehicles, and these things matter so much to me now, they are things i cannot lose.
Sorry for your loss, keep good care of those things, and they will do the same just like they did for your father. My mothers offroader has 30 years now, keep good care and itll be fine.
When my dad lost his dad, he'd think of him as just out of sight. Like he'd gone into his shed to care for his birds or do some repairs. And if you look after his important possessions, it'll really feel that way. That he's never /*really* gone, he's just left for a while. All your memories of him will stay, and he'll always be just like he was in your mind.
In a way, everyone you know is in that same place. Once they leave your sight, they too are frozen in your mind.
@@trouty7947 Read that in amphibians voice, nicely writen
Im sorry for your loss friend. Things always seem to get better at some point. Although i wouldnt pretend to understand what you are going through. I hope everything is well.
First of all, my sincere condolences.
After reading your comment I couldn't help but remember AA's Gerald Williams videos where he would go on and on about "repairing his father's house". That, along with this video's lesson on caring for what you care about becomes oddly fitting.
Take good care of not only what your father left you with but also of yourself and the ones you love and I'm sure you'll make him proud.
My best wishes.
"I made my way up to 80 to save gas"
Ah yes, the American and European strategy
If that's a Dodge Dynasty analogue a wai - warm air intake - will help with fuel economy. And for the record 80kph is around 50mph, on most cars of that period 50-60mph is the most fuel economical speed.
American only*
@@cr4yv3n As if you're special.
@@CoralCopperHead??
@@rosiehawtrey it's surprising that it's set that fast, as usually the faster you go, the steeper the power required. It may be more accurate to say the car has been 'de-tuned' to run less efficiently at lower speeds, so that it will be more efficient at highway speeds. The window sticker doesn't care what your fuel economy is at 25mph, only 55mph. I think if they wanted to optimize for a lower speed, say 25mph, they could have much higher fuel economy ratings. (I don't know if air resistance follows the square law, but it's that sort of curve, the faster you go, the greater the percentage of power loss due to drag)
Man this makes me want a wheelchair bound character even more
You monster. That's a great idea!
I love this, stairs would be inaccessible and you wouldn't be able to climb, which would be major disadvantages, not to mention the speed debuff
please tell me there's a mod
@@blueninja012 speed debuff? Imma tokyo drift that mf
Thanks for your effort! For pz newcomers like me, your content gives me ideas about how to survive
Glad you like them - thanks!
As a non native English speaker, your videos increase my lexicon. Thank you I shall say for all your philosophies and intelligence, dear sir Ambiguousamphibian.
dude i'm a native english speaker and i have no idea what the fuck a lexicon is.
@@florpyjohnson9531 Consider it a library of words and concepts in a language stored in your brain.
@@TayoEXE 'Lexicon' literally just the Greek word for dictionary. It's used in English as a loanword because old timey educated people loved using Greek and Latin to sound extra smart.
I would say that if you can move away from the car itself, it would be OP as hell.
You become a true nomad, the way our great great ancestors once were, always on the move to newer pastures, following their food and seeking a new home to settle on for a little while then move on once again, a never ending cycle.
Never ending until gas get stale
Even if you use ethanol, tires will rot after a few years
that's not OP, that's really risky
A rubber tramp as they are called. :)
This video is quite meaningful to me, being that I use vehicles for everything in the game, from transportation to shelter to combat. I remember my happiest moment was when I hotwired my first vehicle. Actually made a video of it.
I randomly found this channel via the suggested tab. I've been going back and watching series and videos from 2018.... You've brought me so much interest in Project Zomboid that I ended up buying the game. I have all of 14 hours and I probably go thru 9 characters an hour but I'm having fun. Your story telling is unmatched. I'm so addicted to your channel as I'm not watching a UA-cam video I'm watching an actual Auto biography of your character. A movie of sorts. Thank you for creating such wonderful content.
this zomboid content is exceptionally blessed, could watch these all day; looking forward to the next long playthough also whenever that comes :) love the vids and hope you're enjoying making them!
Your face.
Honestly, watching this makes me want to do a migratory playthrough, moving around from place to place and not setting up a base, simply using whatever vehicle I have settled on as my mobile base, upgrading until I am travelling around in the 'best' vehicle and cruising around the map.
Then I remember that I suck at driving and hate how close the vision is, and I go back to hammering more boards onto my windows.
This man could make paint drying sound like a philosophical teaching
Bob Ross? 👀
To be honest my dude I find your philosophical musings and challenges to be one of the more fun elements of any given day. Thanks for what you do my dude.
This type of commentary and storytelling one may only find here at ambiguous amphibian. Always a great time watching these videos!
It's impressive how you turned a zombie game into a life lesson
90's Sentra is truly unbeatable!
with 500hp
I would love to see you do a longer series like this, but you don’t need to be so restrictive with staying by your car. Just don’t travel so far from the car that you can’t see it.
Been wanting to do a "Van Down by the River" (in the words of the late, great comedian, Chris Farley) run for quite some time now. Here is the result - enjoy!
Lots of folks have asked about the music in these videos. I use a combination of Epidemic Sounds (recently became an affiliate of them - I greatly appreciate any use of my referral link if you're starting a trial: share.epidemicsound.com/3sMm7f ). In particular, a lot of the pieces I choose are either various bossa nova, or piano pieces, particularly by Trevor Kowalski and Megan Wofford, among others. Then there's UA-cam free music library and Shockwave Sound (requires a license) for many of the other classical pieces.
As always: FYI **This is the Build 41 IWBUMS beta branch of Project Zomboid available here: projectzomboid.com/blog/content/uploads/2019/10/iwbumshowto-768x486.gif
Damn
Your character development skills are phenomenal
I gotta say, I love the ingenuity of your newer zomboid challenges, it really keeps an old fave fresh. Not to mention that the one shot style keeps you from burning out!
12:55 "remember, there's always a chance to rekindle the relationship anew as long as there's still life". I do not know how these words are related to that, happening on the screen, but I am in a part of life right now, when I need these words. It was like an ointment to my sores. At the same time it was like a missing piece to my puzzle. You give me hope, Amphibian. I maybe not going to play PZ, but your videos, your philosophical wanderings are very inspiring. Wish me luck and thank you from my heart.
Glad it helped :)
Do a “Can you survive as a God of Desctruction?” which means that every zombie you see must get immediately killed
That's gonna be the shortest run ever.
you might want to get a "Blind" trait for that one
I like the idea of a post apocalypse where everyone lives out of their car. Kind of like Mad Max Fury Road, except more about the long game survival and less about the going fast and hard.
This was more of a motivation talk than a video game let's play
I know it seems a little tame in comparison, but an engineer play through would be cool. There are so many craftable traps and perks (recently learned at level 5 elec you can craft battery power lamps!), most people die before unlocking them (myself included). There is also a forage for worms and bait stick traps loop that can lead to sustainable food.
I'm imagining him playing as a wheelchair-bound man with no wheelchair and whose only means of fleeing zombies was his car
I though you just gonna live in a car, using it as place to sleep and storage.
But you took the challenge on a whole new level. 😄 Respect!
I really loved the piano music in the background, with your words and a bit of humor, it was one of the best things happened to me today. Thanks for spending time on such a wonderful thing ❤️
This man is like the bob ross of survival games
i LOVE AA's voice, his narrations, his way of speaking, everything. a fly cant bird, but a bird can fly. why choose doors when you can break on through. lol
Video is 4 minutes old, 14 minutes long .. and already hundreds of upvotes. A man of grate taste somtimes knows quality just by the label.
just how well the strange amphibian knows the game and how he tells stories makes each of these feel like a realistic depiction of a FUBAR situation
i just gotta say, your one of the fewest youtubers that i love to watch, your chill but yet funny and adventurous plus i love your vids. (im not trying to sound like a fan boy but your really just an answer dude) keep it up an loves the vids espically on project zombiod
Thanks, my friend :)
I love the ending there, "Try it, and if you think you can do better, your damn wrong! I'm good at it"
Should have started with a beaten up car one below 50% to make the series more hard but still a good idea!
I feel like Sunday Driver is a blessing in disguise for a run where you live out of a car. Sure, you're going to be restricting yourself in mobility, but slower speeds mean softer collisions, and softer collisions mean less overall damage to your lifeboat.
Just last week, I watched my nephew glued to his tablet watching a video, curious to see what had his attention I found that he was watching people play a video game, fortnite he said it was called... and I could not understand why he enjoyed it so much. Now, I have watched consecutively a whole bunch of your videos and rather enjoyed the time! Your narration is what wins it for me, the synchronization to the gameplay is really nicely done!
Really love your content man, especially the project zomboid ones they're really fun, and your commentary is really relaxing and good.
Keep up the amazing work!
You are honestly a philosopher of our time sir. I thank you for these lessons and reminders. Allowing me to stay focused in life on what really matters and gain more of an appreciation for the little things
I like that pure stream of thoughts. And the way your videos are filled with existential and melancholic pounders about the nature of life, relationship, work, struggle, joy, meaning, sense of direction is really...cozy. Like being at the place where you are accepted and understood.
You do realise that some people watch you content to hear the things they need to hear but too afraid to say by themselves?
Anyways - your videos are great. I like you making up some original and idiotically genius challenges to try yourself. And glad that you provide us with content that has two separate, but both great, sides.
Thank you.
I finally subscribed to you btw. You are awesome. Make more carman videos)
Never change
I applaud your use of Satie's Gymnopedie no. 1 in this piece.
These videos are great! For your next challenge, maybe make a rule in which the first of every item you get must be saved as a record, meaning the first food item must be saved and kept rather than just being used, as usual.
Making me stumble across this channel is the best thing the algorithm has done for me. Thank you for rekindling my love of Zomboid, AA!
Radios at 3% : "Please... Send he-....
I put the new forgis on the-
"
you should make this an entire series but with the RV Interior mod so you can have a literal house inside your car (or bus, semi, etc)
I just found you channel like a week a go and I love your videos keep it up 👍
A car nomad would be pretty interesting.
I like to imagine that you are a character from the Pixar Cars movie series, it makes this hilarious, especially you referring to your character in first person.
Going from watching your older videos to your current ones, it's amazing seeing how philosophical and deep you've become, while you somehow manage to always remain playful and entertaining. Good on you!
I'm very glad you've decided to do some zomboid challenges despite your previous decision to wait for the multiplayer update for the 41 build.
I've only recently found your channel, but your content is phenomenal - your zomboid videos being my favourite. Would you ever consider trying hydrocraft out for a series? I don't know how good a video it would make for, it being so ludicriously (tediously) in-depth, but I think if anybody could make a good series out of it, you would be the one!
*Massive depression?* *Crippling pain?* Just put on an AA video, it's a welcome distraction and makes getting through the days easier.
Thank you AA.
If only it were that easy kind sir/mam/person.
@@illmaddox91 It's not a fix, just a distraction. I'm sure you understand.
I love your content. I especially love the introspective videos, they feel positive but always with a hint of melancholy.
I love the way he phrases his words, and how he has this philosophical sense about him. I really enjoy watching his videos and just listening to his calming voice 😌💕 keep up the great work Ambi, you're doing god's work out here
You made me fall in love with this game sir , I love your content !
This content is A+. Your new editor is a god damn gemstone. Hold on to them. I still miss how plentiful the old stuff was, but this stuff is worth the wait.
To editor: thank you for not appealing to ADHD teenagers
Bumping my own comment because get money, dollar dollar bill y'all.
Haha, actually I edit them all :)
Much appreciated!
Thanks AA for this soo much!!! Your project zomboid philosophical talk really makes my day and also enlightens me! Keep on making the content!
I love these challenges. Honestly one of the best ways to relax before sleep cause of those chill monologues. Thanks man
Wanted to suggest a challenge : 60 seconds, you have only this time to loot for each building.
Thank you for uploading
You're like mad max who reached his plains of silence
Imagine if you could modify cars like welding Bull Bars or plating to help protect the car at the cost of increased fuel consumption
Love that voice of yours
@@EEEEEEEE E
*before pressing play*
Oh, nomad gameplay is fun! Always on the road, looting never setting up a permanent base...
*starts watching video*
Oh... oh no.....
I know the over-philosophizing is a funny gimmick, but "if you can forge your mindset to that of a sustainer, a preserver, you'll be a worthy steward of the things that matter to you, and they'll long outlast your guardianship" is genuinely one of my favorite lines ever. Thank you, ambiguousamphibian, truly.
I have just started playing Project Zomboid and the last thing I expected in gameplays about it were these somewhat philosophical gameplays. And, even weirder, I find it silly that I did not correlate philosophy and this game together.
You are awesome, sir. Never change.
Bloody love these videos, especially now that I'm turning over a new leaf in my life, Ambiguous' poetry has become way more impactful. BTW, niche is pronounced "knee-shh" not "nitch". Anyway, keep up the great work, have been loving these videos for a long time now!
Oh my god, this must have been so annoying. You are truly a man of focus, dedication and sheer fucking will.
love your videos, the thought you put, not only into your vehicle, but into the scirpts as well. thank you. keep on ... surviving.
I keep coming back to this video and the other zomboid challange videos.AA's voice is so calming and sweet its like listening to a old friend and the poetic narration he gives is so lovely.I hope he does more but I understandable you can only do so much in a game that you have explored almost every nook and cranny of.
Thank you for the video, I was looking forward to hear some philosophy from you
just wanted to say I love your content! was wondering if you made your own thumbnails and if you edited all your videos yourself? anyway, have a good day and keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yup - still all a one-man show :)
I love your tired voice of a noir movie police officer who smokes a cigarette and sips whiskey in a dark room, thinking about some dark matters. And the goddamn Chopin in the background.
'if you think you can do better....' lol
This video was a ton of fun. Thanks for all the time you spent on it! I know the car alignments had to be tedious.
I discovered your channel from Kevin's PZ video. your philosophical shitposting on the canvas of hard and tedious games has been one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable things I've ever experienced. oh frabjous day! callooh, callay.
Imagine doing a mrbeast challenge during a zombie apocalypse 💀
A couple things I'd like to see in Project Zomboid in the future.
1. RVs for a home-on-the-go.
2. Bulldozers for clearing highway wreckage.
3. Blankets to help players keep warm when the temperature gets really low.
This is awesome.
I was thinking about how to recommend a roadtrip challenge, and this is right up that alley.
I was not expecting such a touching movie...
I love how you squeeze a timeless lesson out of each event, like the wicked witch of the west strangling one of her monkeys.
Every time I think you can’t make a more entertaining video than your previous one you prove me wrong. Thank you for this work of art, philosophy, and survival.
Not only do I greatly enjoy the philosophical aspect of these videos,
but the gameplay is also neatly done,
to top it all of, the voice of a narrator that easily puts you to sleep,
Great content all around
I’m in between jobs and hearing you say if you spend your life worrying how can you enjoy it. And dude I needed that. Thank you
