Ice Hole

A Day that Will Go Down In Infamy By petition the summon Deer Decoy was changed to summon Deercoy. Truly beautiful. Very important. For a Long Dark reverence it happens when we look for some poor deer to offer to a chasing wolf. Then poof behind a tree a deer sticks its neck out. Bam! Deercoy!

This movie and the c-64 game began when I was just a young teen. Just need to tweak the chamber. Getting too much feed back.

Battery has been delivered. Nineteen days of porting fun. Having Battery altogether means mobility will improve. Backpack == Batterypack New destinations for the gang are being planned. For now I am off to build the ecto-containment unit.

Tested the Raven Falls Ravine twice today and the FP did not show.

I have looked in the Raven Falls ravine and the flare pistol was not there. This was back before the Elegy update. The wiki indicates there is another flare pistol. Wonder if it appears as well in the Hopeless Rescue.

More than fifty cups of coffee are prepared. The plan is to lug Battery all at the same time. The previous method took at half day to port Battery to the destination. The identified problem was the return to base sprint. Not using coffee meant that exhaustion set in quickly. The distance from the store to Misty Falls is quite far. Battery must be walked until getting to the cavern when it decides to jump into the backpack. Returning was the only time to sprint. The time to recharge the sprint bar I would just walk. This is where porter optimization is improved. The idea is then to carry Battery gang as far as the sprint bar can take me which then becomes a check point. Walk Battery while the sprint bar recharges and then set Battery down, sprint back for Battery. After the Battery gang is at the check point the exhaustion level will leave me to rest for a full night. Also drinking coffee to help sustain the sprint. The Battery gang has made it to this new cave and the time to take Battery here has improved greatly. The destination of Misty Falls caverns will be the setting for an experiment involving the containment of ectoplasmatic entities. In the new Thompson's Crossing neighborhood something strange is going on. Reports of endless steaming pots, levitating objects and self illuminating trophies. Could be a business breakthrough, just needs the right advertisement. Should make use of the new phone lines and go ahead and call out to the you who's out there. Maybe have a catchy jingle too.

@ajb1978 Thinking your first choice ties in decently. This is an interesting addition for survival as well. This area had two choices for a respite and both are patrolled. There is a wolf around this area as well so choices have become greater not better. The only thing positive I can say is with a little goating this cave is accessible without alerting the patrol.

Great job! @ajb1978 Do you have a name for it?

There has been major changes happening around Pleasant Valley. It all started with this plane crash. Survivors were rescued from the crash site. After some time they built a little town. Called it Thompson's Crossing. They approached me one day offering vegetarian meals and bingo nights. The suspicious side in me perked wide awake. Seems the Plumbous'R''Us store is not fitting in with there urban development plans and they are claiming the store for themselves. They plan on selling vegetables locally grown. Personally I think theses people are all crazy; do they not realize it is freezing and snowy. How do they plan on growing vegetables? Plan is to move away from all these people. So I packed up Battery and set off for a new home. Goodbye Plumbous'R'Us. P.S. I think Eric Handcartman was right these hippies are smelly and they don't respect any authority! edit: Almost two weeks porting Battery. The route was surveyed planned modified, and still inefficient. The needs to be an increase in porter optimization. The solution might lay in brewing several pots of coffee.

You are getting not

Found this cave which is new to me. Never saw this in the previous builds. Inside there is a built in bed of pine boughs.

The cabinet that is inside the Community Hall is not searchable. The left cabinet is searchable. Realizing with deductive symmetry that that another cabinet should be on the right. It was dis heartening after breaking down tables to find the cabinet but it was not able to search. Edit: Also the stag head mounted over the fireplace has an eerie glow and kinda freaks me out a little.

Aurora Borealis! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen.

These are Long Dark Stories....

Go and change your longjohns!

Both my parents are type II diabetic. Never been tested yet but I used to feel the symptoms regularly in the past. Currently Cannabis has been federally legal here in Canada and more research should be carried out on the endocannabinoids system. This study keys into the application of cannabis and maintaining insulin levels. The Impact of Marijuana Use on Glucose, Insulin, and Insulin Resistance among US Adults Elizabeth A. Penner, MD, MPHa,b, Hannah Buettner, BAc, Murray A. Mittleman, MD, DrPH Results Of the participants in our study sample, 579 were current marijuana users and 1975 were past users. In multivariable adjusted models, current marijuana use was associated with 16% lower fasting insulin levels (95% confidence interval [CI], −26, −6) and 17% lower HOMA-IR (95% CI, −27, −6). We found significant associations between marijuana use and smaller waist circumferences. Among current users, we found no significant dose-response. Conclusions We found that marijuana use was associated with lower levels of fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, and smaller waist circumference.

Here is the old map of great bear island. There have been changes. Timberwolf Mountain seems odd. There is a road from Pleasant Valley and it follows the river which leads to the tunnel to Milton. The Episode one location. That pink coastal region might be Perseverance Mills. Wonder if episode two and three from this old map are the next two chapters(four and five) coming soon.

An amazing piece of Canadian culture is still active. Get to the lodge as soon as you are able. Remember: "If the ladies don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green

Was just thinking of this while strolling over to The Long Curve. There is a cave across from the Radio Hut and could open up as a cave system like the one to Winding River. Maybe this cave system transition is a short cut to the Milton tunnel area. There seems to be a lot of these cave systems similar to the one from Mystery Lake to Milton. Also this new area could be a predator free zone similar to the Ravine.

No not really, this is like putting a cake on a stand. The better choice would have been inside the car.

This technique offers a realistic approach but in the end it turns into a mini game of looTetris. With my irl junk drawer if I put something in it the stuff sorts itself out as long as the drawer closes all is good. Maybe an auto sort could help when dealing with volume. The concept of bulk or volume is tricky to portray and have it blend into game play. A talent that increases as the player becomes more skilled at packing could have advantages. The sounds in game do change with inventory carried. So this could be the feedback for the player. The loot making sounds should also attract predators. Think of scent markers, but with loot. The packaging skill could dampen the sound the loot is making. Unpacking should also be included as items that are packed tightly take more time to access. The loot we carry should affect more than sprain probability. Alerting predators seems to be another area.

The sprain risk condition that occurs after becoming tired with the weight capacity reduced depending on the exhaustion level I am aware of that. What I am considering is the bulk of the items. So for example sticks would be more bulky compared to fir. Carrying equal weight of both the fir logs, being condensed compared to sticks, take less physical space. This would make it easier to carry or port around. There is an indicator for bulk already in game. When carrying a few sticks compared to carrying eighty sticks the sound of the sticks changes and becomes more intense with more rattling. Same goes for water. The sloshing sound changes depending on the amount carried. So there could be a hidden game mechanic.

The Probability of a sprain should increase with the amount of loot we carry. If the items are stowed in the backpack then that weight should make it difficult to walk maybe sending the centre of mass of its kilter and increasing the risk of sprains. Where if less bulky the risk of sprains should decrease.
