    1. Everything went to shit anyway
    2. I have higher than average survival skills
    3. I am a cyclist in an area with alot of trails and not so many people
      I’d say I would give an IRL Zomboid a try

      IRL zomboid is worse because there are less offline resources available now than the 90s, gun ownership and reliability depend greatly on where you are in the world and what laws restrict you, population is exponentially greater, the environment is much more toxic (UNICEF doesn’t even recommend you try to boil rainwater anymore), and extreme weather makes survival in the absence of modern technology extremely difficult.

          A home improvement box store (in a non-crowded area) is not far from me, and there are multiple bike lanes leading to it. So, tools, pickup trucks, generators, everything

            This is for the time before you will have a safehous with everything powered by readily available commercial solar cells.
            (just in case, anything I comment about here would only work in “everyone is a Zed but you”, because otherwise survivors, and more importantly, surviving people in power, will fubar each others and everyone else’s lives, and no long-term idea will reliably work)
