Thumbs up @Timber Wolf 

@Timber Wolf: Now you just need your friend the Old Bear in that shot

 I don't even know if flaming twigs can ward off bears,

They can if you can spook the bear before it rears up. Once it decides to charge nothing will deter a bear except the flare gun.

I think I found four in my game alltogether (one in DP, one in CH, two in PV),  but there were probably more. I basically only had time to play on Sunday and thus didn't manage to explore more than 50% of the world or so. Would have loved to discover especially TWM during the event... well, next year maybe. 

Maybe

I went from Timberwolf Mountain across to Mystery Lake and still never found one

Still, I did have good luck finding pies

Just another idyllic Halloween scenery. 

Lucky. I have not found any jack-o-lanterns yet on my interloper run. I am really appreciating those candy bars though!

Nice badges @mystifeid

Ouch @starfighter441 

My worst was clipping through the trestle bridge in the ravine back when I first started playing. I was so terrified of it happening again that I used to crawl across the entire bridge!

Nope, unless I'm very mistaken @RossBondReturns and I are using a slightly different route

The tail of the plane is overhanging a cliff. You can descend down the cliff to come right out on Crystal Lake usually without injury

Yeah, the "fast" way down surprised me too @Mikhail_Reign when I first figured out it was survivable

Congrats on 200 days @thinair!

Have you noticed any major changes yet with animal spawn rates or the global temperature?

Also, I just realized that this was my 2001st post!

Odd. You should log it as a bug. To the best of my knowledge the only place you should be able to fall is when you traverse along the bent railroad track if you're not careful.

@akodo1: When I first started playing the Long Dark in 2014 I fell through the broken railway bridge in the Ravine. The best I could figure is I clipped between the railroad ties. Since Pleasant Valley was added I haven't fallen through though.

@mystifeid: I sure hope there was a lot of windchill otherwise that snow would be CO2!

Indeed. I will be uploading the footage and linking it in the youtube section. I will forgive myself only because it was the first time I had been mauled by a bear anywhere. Farmstead in Pleasant Valley. Pleasant Valley. Go figure.

Also the location of my first mauling!

Pro Tip: Bears dislike being shot

Unfortunately I don't think I had one. (Goes to check the epic recording).

Upon further review I totally had one, but totally forgot about it.

And 3% condition is definitely the worst time to forget!

Probably a good time for an emergency stim...

My bad, I meant the liquefaction point of CO₂ , but since CO₂ liquefies only at -56.6 when under 5.1 atmospheres of pressure, I thought it was safe to assume it would solidify (dry ice and all that malarkey). Just shows how your brain can deceive you when you are tired and the caffeine tank hits zero.

Indeed.

Also an excellent example of state changes in relationship to temperature and pressure. If I remember the phase diagram of CO2 correctly it doesn't have a liquid form (at any temperature) when under ambient pressure (1 atm or 101.3 kPa).

I am now feeling very happy with myself that I'm correct (I just looked it up). All these years of University weren't for nothing!

dude, that's well past the point when Carbon Dioxide starts solidifying out of the air. Inhaling air at that temperature would very likely be lethal, or at least give your lungs severe frostbite.

Close but not quite. The melting point of Carbon Dioxide is -78C. The "feels like" includes wind chill so we're not quite at the point where the component parts of air begin separating.

Celcius I just had a storm of -75c

Ah, how's Antarctica this time of year? See many penguins?

Ah, so much less bad than the picture lead us to believe then

@thinair: Fahrenheit or Celsius? -65C is about -85F

Yeah... not looking so good there @MueckE

Oh, that would be so nice.

I still miss the shortcut key for lighting a match. Press "m" for light was one of my favourite things

I like this one, for whatever reason it feels especially lonely...

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll soon have some furry companionship
