Hi, you live in the right place to enable real life practical tips for your game plan

New here too, a warm welcome it seems

This is exactly why I don't use my 2012 Macbook pro for gaming. 

What OS are you running ?  I say this because I installed Catalina on mine and it nearly melted it, had to back install Mojave now, much better again.  

Also to put some perspective on it, my 2012: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 & SSD struggled with the game  'Inside', essentially a 2.5D sideways scrolling platform!

I'm going to take the reverse route to you and check out the Richter score- thanks for the heads up.

Nice!  It was 'The Departure' specifically that TLD was cross referenced.  His music in general is lovely.  Also check out 'Sleep' & his '4 seasons'.

If you want something instrumental but much more abrasive & sonically extreme not orchestral then check out Ben Frost ('The Centre Cannot Hold', 'By The Throat', 'Aurora' & others. 

Enjoy.  

Hi everyone, 

I occasionally dip in and out of gaming mainly driven by nostalgia (ie Tetris, Polarium & more recently I have been blown away by Limbo & Inside).   Having played Inside through I toyed with the idea of wanting to play new games but did not really know what I would like. 

I love playing vinyl & a fan of orchestral music which is the reason I found The Long Dark.  I was on youtube listening to Max Richter's score for 'The Leftovers' & someone in the comment section I dearly do owe a huge thank you to happen to mention the music score in TLD.  Of course I went to find out what TLD was.  

Grabbed a Nintendo Switch & Downloaded it last weekend.   Immersed in WIntermute at the moment.  Wow thanks random guy on youtube !

I am such a noob on this console. Last night realised what to do.  

Go easy on me folks I am normally a retro gamer who has only a few modern games (Limbo & Inside).  

I had such an immersive experience playing Inside that I searched to find an open adventure game & obviously The Long Dark was a no brainer.  

Did not realise that the left & right sticks can be pressed / used as a button 🙄.

Therefore right click = crouch. 

I am blown away by this game. 

Hi, 

Anyone who can help is appreciated in advance. 

How do you crouch on Nintendo Switch ?  

Thanks
