Yup, that him.

Game saves on a sprain too, right? Maybe I can work around this. Sprains are easy.

Thanks, I may try this at some point. I'm hesitant though because of slippery-slopism. "What? That wolf shouldn't have been out in the blizzard! Reload!" Bad habit to get into.

Good plan! "Well, let's see, I *might* get tired and nod off sometime in the next 3 or 4 hours. Guess I'll just shut the computer down and go to bed after supper."

Which is why most accessibility options are toggleable...

This has absolutely nothing to do with pressing escape before you leave your PC. This is about falling asleep while playing and losing an entire run because of the way this game handles saving. And dispensing unsolicited "lifestyle" advice based on your own assumptions can really make you look like an ass. You might consider changing this behavior. I couldn't care less about your approval of my lifestyle. Some people take medication that may make them drowsy. Some people bust their ass all day long and unwind by playing games in the evening. Some people have medical conditions that cause them to fall asleep. I belong to one of these categories every day and a second one ~some~ days. Cheers

Naturally. It wouldn't even necessarily prevent death. I mean if I'm nodding off, half a map away from a sleeping spot, I have to make the decision to pause the game and let the computer run till morning, or give up and die. I get that. I've even started carrying parasitic meat so I can force a save if I know I'm too tired to make it back. But if I have enough HP to stand inside a building with zero keyboard or mouse movement for 15 or 20 minutes, I think that's pretty obvious that I'm not making an in-game mistake, I'm drooling on myself on the couch.

Please, I'm desperate. ALL of my runs over the last month have ended with me falling asleep at the wheel, and waking up at the stats screen post-death. Maybe if you're standing there slowly freezing/starving to death without any keyboard/mouse input over 5 or 10 minutes you could just snap into the pause menu or something.

That nearly invincible bear at the log sort? That's Vince.

Love it! The sprains make you adjust your strategy, as intended. Can't go out encumbered or tired anymore. Seeing some hitbox weirdness, couple other minor bugs, but I'm sure that'll be worked out soon. Yer killin it, Hinterland!

Noobish dude here, 400 hours into the game. Picked up the game on steam right after redux. Still learning and yes, I'm enjoying the Broken Ankle update. I mostly play interloper, and sometimes I stream at twitch.tv/dudequixote
