ohhh, pancakes! those look good enough to eat!

Back to OP's post about exploration and discovery, I remember my uncle telling me about strategy guides they used to buy in order to get all the loot and find all the hidden treasures when they played video games. Of course that was almost 40 years ago now. But I kinda wish it was still that way. I typically don't watch playthroughs on YouTube as I'd rather be playing, but I do enjoy watching savvy players exploit glitches and bugs in their game so as to get every possible advantage to improve their odds of winning. But, when it comes down to exploration and learning my way around a map, nothing is better than actually playing the game and getting in the screen time. So, Kudos @I_eat_only_wolf_meat when you say "To me, the exploration is a large part of what I'm paying for. Well-designed maps with a wealth of secrets to discover."

In my best "Conehead" voice; "Death to all blunt skulls who fail to gnarfl The Garthock!"

Outstanding idea!

I was once standing on the enclosed porch of the farmhouse in PV when off in the distance I saw the bear slowly walking thru the orchard towards Molly's barn. I opened the door and decided to take a shot. It was definitely a long distance shot and as luck would have it I ended up hitting the bear right in the butt!

I actually used his crushed chips idea to make a Chip Crusted Chicken dish the other day. I didn't have any ketchup chips so I used some Dill Pickle Pringles flavored chips. I smashed the chips up pretty good and dipped the chicken breasts in a milk and egg mixture and then rolled them in crushed chips before dropping them into a hot oil filled skillet. I paired it with a fine IPA from local brew pub. All I can say is delicious!

Outstanding! I haven't played in a while so this is something I'm definitely gonna check out! Lighting a bunch of fires isn't necessarily difficult if you pull out a torch each time to start a new fire.

wait a minute?!? are you saying that meat does not decay at all if you place back on the slot after cooking or are you saying that you time things perfectly to allow the fire to die out before the food is burnt beyond recognition and if not picked up it does not decay at all? If either scenario actually works then you have single handedly solved the age old mysteries of extended cooked meat storage! Somehow I am skeptical of your claim. No offense intended but given the communities intense debate over cooked food storage, I am wondering why this has never come up as a strategy to indefinitely store food. I have more questions now, like inside vs outside? fireplace or firebarrel? campfire vs stove?

Lol, I'm my own worst enemy. I should probably quite drinking beer when I play TLD. Beer makes me bold! Bold makes me hunt bears naked! Bears brutalize naked man, take beer and make naked man bleed. Too late... You have faded into the long dark!

Help me decide a name for this screenshot?

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away from my chair I flew like a flash, tore open the door, bolted and dashed! When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a roof full of mooses not one single deer! I whistled and shouted and called them by name: “Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the prison and over of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!” And that children is the story of how ole' Uncle DiscoJonny got out of prison!

Is this somewhere in Ash Canyon? I'm curious now if this is a spot where this happens frequently happens?

Lol, another great story photo chronicled for our amusement! How heavy was that old wooden box anyways? on a side note, I'm looking forward to reading about how you kick that bear's ass after you get all healed up!

Where exactly does the hammer spawn in Coastal Highway? I don't think I've ever heard of the hammer spawning in Raven's Ravine either. Where exactly does it appear? Might just come in handy next time I launch a new loper game, you know?

Considering that you cannot control where you spawn and that a player usually finds the heavy hammer in ML on Interloper difficulty, it just makes more sense to use the forge at Spence's in FM once you've acquired the requisite tool(s) than to travel all the way to DP once you have acquired the hammer. I'd say the opposite is true if you play stalker or the lesser difficulty settings, why not just spawn into DP where you will find all the tools and then can immediately get started forging. Nothing better to insure survival early on than being able to control your spawn point and make it happen with a conveniently placed forge nearby!
