Hello from Blustery British Columbia, Canada

[SteveP]

Hello People! I am the founder of The Long Dark Community on Facebook. Anyone who plays TLD is welcome to join our community, just complete the three membership questions.

I'd like to tell you about some new features I've developed in collaboration with Facebook. We have implemented computer based training modules called Social Learning Units. It's a bit of a radical change for some folks. Some people, especially the new folks who join each week, are taking to it like ducks! I will continue to ask Facebook for new features to support CBT especially tests or quizzes and diagramming tools to make directed graphs and ER diagrams. I have a second, companion group, Deep Thinkers, which deals with coding, UML and a plethora of useful knowledge, including the magnetic anomaly, should anyone have questions. As an engineer, I'm also collaborating with wind engineers to design new types of wind devices using a computer aided design tool to perform dynamic structural analysis as well as fluid flow models. The engineering in this field is changing rapidly.

The second new feature is called tactical brainstorming. I won't explain more now; you'll have to join to find out! (Hint: how to safely hunt moose or bear)

A big thanks to Raphael and the team at Hinterland. We have confidence in you guys and huge expectations. As a former QA engineer and software development lead, I know things are always a matter of options and choices, trade-offs, just like in the game. I do my best to manage the community expectations and keep them SMART, strategic, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely with hopes for the next release and down the road for TLD 2. I think it might rain... a lot and be windy. Just an educated guess. 😉 (in TLD 2)

I wanted to ask  Raphael if the plan is to go with more primitive technology, low-tech, or perhaps high-tech with batteries and electronics. I vote for wind power and I can explain why.

Stay safe out there people; remember, static survival principles; shelter in place, move only for essentials. Avoid cabin-fever at all costs; play The Long Dark and join the community on Facebook for fun and games and education. Puns are free! 😉

Just wanted to pop in and say; I see your cover on your Profile on here is the movie " The Edge", that was a good movie!

Hello

The poll ... well I am not sure to understand the context. Any, none or all may apply depending on the context.
