There's a character that looks exactly like this dude but cannot remember from what. it's also a zombie thing.

I’ve never played this game, but maybe you can get him a new poster to lift his spirits.

At first glance on my phone I thought he was in front of a bowl or something, about to actually be sick. Had to zoom in to be sure which definition of "sick" you meant.

Do most people prefer to create a new character on an existing world, or do they just create a brand new world when their character dies?
I’ve always made a fresh world because I like the whole starting-fresh feeling. But curious what other players do.

Are you thinking of HUNK from Resident Evil?

new world. don't want to feel cheap about it generally.

It's not him, it's some winter looking guy with a gas mask that has a yellow tint iirc

Yea that’s kinda how I feel as well, yea you could just run back to your corpse and then all you’d be losing is your stat progression. Which I admit can be a huge loss in itself, if you’ve put hundreds of hours into a long-play.

how's the gameplay with a controller vs keyboard?
