J. WebbHappy Winter Solstice (Southern Hemisphere) to my fellow Nightwalkers and all others that celebrate.
Robin the WitchI've been replaying The Long Dark from the start after the final chapter was released and I only just realised.
It's a great game but ye gods you have to pace yourself as cold exposure is no joke and you will die.
Stunning game with a neat painterly style that I just love and crunching through the snow really helped offset playing in the recent heatwave that we had.
MikeRecently I've been playing #balatro and the single player campaign in #TheLongDark, so I haven't been posting recaps from my #TheLongDark survival mode play through,.. I may come back to it eventually, but needed a change of pace for now.
Today in #TheLongDark I decided to explore around the farmhouse. I was able to find a rifle, some bullets and a deer carcass. The rifle will be especially handy since I left my other rifle in my safehouse in Coastal Highway, and there are cougars and bears about in this region.
On the way home, I ran into a blizzard, which lasted for longer that I would have liked. I had to limp back home in darkness after it ended with a wolf on my tail.
Today in #TheLongDark I explored the Farmhouse in Pleasant Valley. As expected it was full of loot. I also appreciated that it has a large stove and a workbench, which makes it a better HQ than the Community Hall in Thompson's crossing.
I need to decide whether or not I should go through the trouble of moving all my gear to this house, or if I should just maintain two safe houses in this region.
Lots more exploring left to do in this area, so I may just keep both.
Today in #TheLongDark, I spent some more time exploring Pleasant Valley, concentrating on some caves near the community hall safe house that I setup. Didn't find much of anything, so it was kind of boring. At one point I did get a bit too close to the cougar territory, and I thought I heard some new sounds.... which made me quickly change course and head back home.
I'm feeling like I need a bit of a change of pace, so I may play through the single player episodes for a while.

I decided to explore the ice cave near Lonely Cave. I found the remnants of a campfire, a backpack and a sleeping bag as soon as I climbed down the rope.
As I was checking that stuff out, a wolf showed up from the tunnel. Luckily I was still carrying my revolver, I hit it once and it ran back to the tunnel. I followed it and when it turned back to attack me, I took it down with a second shot.
I say "cheated" because technically you could only walk down that slope. But with the Jump mod, you can actually go up.
I reckon, in real life, it should be totally possible to climb that, so in my head it's not really cheating ๐

๐ฅพ I temporarily left Milton and headed to Hushed River Valley. Once I got there, I "cheated" my way up the slope and explored the SE part of the map.
๐ Near the Lonely Cave I stumbled upon a Prepper Cache and settled there. The loot was plentiful. Lots of food, one revolver, one rifle and several boxes of ammunition for both.
๐ I will start carrying back some stuff to Mountain Town before continuing my exploration of HRV.
