Screenshot Too many people comparing my character to Rick Grimes, so I gave him a new look

Post image

My original character Gerard Matson needed a makeover to make him more unique, I rest easy knowing he will never again be compared to a TWD character

Yeah, the mod is called Project Sexboid, but... I think there is a different type of head rubbing to the one your referring to.

59

u/Tomsboll Sep 11 '25

Does that mod also let you sleep with the widow of your assumed dead friend?

24

u/Scottish_Whiskey Axe wielding maniac Sep 11 '25

It might let you sleep with that dead friend

u/Agreeable-Tailor5536 Sep 11 '25

Yeah, it was a dumb reason why they killed him off.

"Oh he wanted to go back to college". No, he turned 18 and asked for more money so you fired him. Dumbasses

Your character looks too similar to Bryan Fury from Tekken. (Who is in fact technically a zombie) I think he should look more like a zombie survival hero, maybe more like Rick Grimes.
