    Only if we could call it Crowry
  2. Until I hit level 5 Archery, I use rifle. Once I hit level 5 Archery, bow for everything but moose.
  3. I also sincerely hope they don't let the "hiccups" and negative feedback dissuade them from releasing more DLC (whatever flavor that may take). Regarding "long release format", I'd be okay with maybe not too long! I'm so excited when new content comes out, I will usually take the day off work, and therefore, get through the content pretty quickly.
  4. Has never happened to me. Maybe you just stunned him the first time?
  5. https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/223763768-What-is-anti-ghosting-technology- Not that I ever think it would be a concern for me
  6. After quite a bit of research and reading reviews/watching videos, I've settled on QHD. My conclusion is that the viewing difference between 4K and QHD on a 16-17" laptop monitor would be insignificant compared to the cost and other factors. Here is the one I just purchased: https://www.costco.com/MSI-Raider-GE68HX-16"-Laptop---13th-Gen-Intel-Core-i9-13950HX---GeForce-RTX-4070---QHD+-(2560-x-1600)---Windows-11.product.1773333.html
  7. Hey, it doesn't really matter. You enjoy the game the way you want. I sometimes wish I could "memory wipe" my knowledge of the maps! Just like when HL introduces a new region - such excitement!!
  8. Wow! I thought I had a lot at 2,200
  9. I've played enough to where I (for the most part) have the maps memorized.

    Lucky!

    LOL, maybe I should!
  11. How does this help with determining direction?

    7 day new run. Level 1 archery and had never shot an arrow. I was in Broken RR and I saw the bear come out of is cave and figured, "Why not?". 1st shot - knew it had to be a long-range arcing shot since I couldn't crouch yet. Took aim, let loose and to my amazement, I heard the "grrrrrllllllll" and he fell over dead on the spot. I had no knife yet, and couldn't spare the time to carve him up with an improvised hatchet, so had to quarter him. I then headed over to the hunter's blind by the lake, and guess what? Found a knife!
  13. The earth's magnetic field is, for the most part, stable. It does fluctuate, and is said that every 300,000 years, the North and South poles may "flip". Solar flares, which contain electromagnetic particles, and can contribute to aurorae, can cause a temporary interference in portions of the earth's magnetic field. I don't see this as a permanent interference, which is why I think compasses may work "some of the time" on Great Bear, but may also be unreliable. The following article/video helps to explain this somewhat. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-researchers-track-slowly-splitting-dent-in-earth-s-magnetic-field
  14. Good luck! What difficulty are you playing on?

  16. Does anyone have a 4k laptop that they are happy with? If so, what brand & model? I'm in the market, but it seems I read lots of complaints about either: 1) overheating or, 2) fan loudness. I do understand those 2 are somewhat necessary to push 4k but am looking for a happy middle-ground.
  17. What about non-loper players? 😭
  18. Yes, but I believe it only begins to crack once you have entered the "thin ice/danger" zone. I think @Cyclone35 is asking for more advance notice. In my experience, some ice is really hard to tell whether it's thin or not, but it seems, most thin ice has more of a bluish tint to it (not so white).
  19. Not to mention, there are so many batteries (lead) in the game, I don't think you could ever run out.
