I regretted it because I hadn't finished moving all my loot, er, carefully gathered resources, from those regions. It just made an excellent rest, craft, and resupply spot.

So awesome! It's been a long road, but the end is in sight! FYI - I think when you launch episode 5 or sometimes around then, it would be cool to get a brief "training" montage.

Weird!

Ever since the wild life refresh, I've found the wildlife is just acting weird. For example, on TWM not only will a bear climb a rope to attack you on a ledge, the two wolves on top of the mountain will spawn right next to you, as you're looking at them. Its particularly weird when its the one in the plane. Of course, it does answer the question of whether they paraglided in :D. Timberwolves will show up on the lake, spawning in while you're looking at them, chase around an invisible deer (judging by the hoof noises), and then start their normal pack activity, but when the pack morale is broken they just sort of morph away? Not run, just disappear and their corpse will show up eventually very far away and unharvestable. Oh, and putting your back to a rope climb cliff won't protect you from a bear in front of you because it will just somehow warp around to behind you, the animation shows it next to you facing away from the cliff in between you and the rope climb, clipping into you, and then it mauls you. What weirdness have you all noticed?

Awesome, thanks!

Whooo!!!! Hooooo!!!!!!

So awesome! I've waited (hm, has it really been 10 years?) to be able to clean up the clutter in the Office and get Fred properly buried.

Very exciting! Looking forward to it all, including the new stuff!

Happy B'day Long Dark!

Yes, player safety is essential, but the screen time is unusually long. This is the first time I've ever complained about the photosensitivity warning in a game. I suggest putting a click-any-button message to move through it and putting the detailed help info as an accessible link on the main loading page if you want folks to have that info. The whole game loading process is already pretty long; with the unskippable warning, it's now a minute to load into a game. Setting aside games with crowded servers (looking at you FFIVX) the last time I had that long of a wait was when we used 3.5 floppies.

On the road to the far territories

The problem I have with the wind in Interloper is its not a big storm, the wind should not be overwhelmingly loud at all times. Its loud enough you can't hear the waterfalls. They do also need to fine tune how some of the water sounds get delivered. Yes waterfalls are loud, but the dynamics are weird, like its actually louder down a canyon in another portion of the map than it is right on the waterfall. And there's a section where you have several large obstacles between you and water and yet the water sound is overwhelming, but when you're next to the running water its fine. Things like that.

So far the only place I'd consider setting up long term is Island Cabin. There's fishing, there's wolves, there's deer, and there's moose. But I'm on stalker so insomnia isn't as much of a problem for me.
