There was the time I was wandering around HRV, when it was first added. It was night and blizzardy and I just knew I was gonna die. I was trying to find any sheltered spot when I wandered off a cliff. I thought. It was only a short drop and I only got bruises and torn clothing but I just knew I was walking off Mammoth Falls for about half a second.

I am 54 and a "cuss like a sailor" person. I can control what I type better than what I say but really, what makes certain words okay while their synonyms are "bad"? Who is the person that picked the "bad" words and got us to all buy in?😈

I actually heard this song in my head but didn't think to look it up. Thanks for that.

I love that each one is a different color.

I can't be the only one who pictured Snoopy vs the Red Baron?

All this time I thought it depended on where you pulled the torch from. 🤣 I seem to have lots of luck getting my torches between 25-50% by trying to pull from the "hottest" part, generally near the point where the logs come together to form a peak at the top of the campfire. I guess I just get good rng.

Every time I think of replaying story mode I remember the bear cave and decide against it. 😂 I thought I was the only one.

I'm in my second run now. First, I started in HRV. Needless to say I only survived a little over a day because I don't know that map well. My second start was in Desolation Point near Hibernia. I have no weapon but a pry bar and didn't scout every where but I hit the trailers, Hibernia, the Riken and the lighthouse. I'm in the basement at crumbling highway. Just barely made it in before becoming wolf bait. I'll be starting my third day when I go back to the game. I've found 2 bags of KC. Oh and a can opener. At least I won't be wasting my cans.

It is possible to catch wild yeast by mixing a little flour and water/milk with something sweet (fruit or sugar, even a grape stem) and leaving it outdoors. I'm guessing this might vary by area but it works where I live. I use it as a science experiment sometimes when I babysit my friends kids.

I can't stop myself from laughing about the toilet paper shortage. Worst case scenario: we have to wash our nasty behinds.

I just tell myself the ice is to weak to support the bear and my character.

My longest run is 100 and something days so far but I like the Hunting Lodge at BR. Moose shows up outside, bear and forge down the hill, caves nearby. It's totally the kind of place I would choose in real life. The only downside is it's rather dark even in daytime and I wish I could saw down all those stupid beds.

I've been wondering about that stigma comment all along too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been wondering what this supposed stigma is about because it's a single player game so no one can attach stigma to anything you are doing but you. As for doing away with the standard settings, I am against that for all the reasons stated above already. There is just no way that any dev team could possibly anticipate and accommodate all the possible preconceived notions one might possibly bring to any game before playing the first time. I for one was ecstatic to find this game was not at all what I had been expecting. I haven't stopped playing since I bought it and I haven't even tried custom yet, not because of any perceived stigma but because that's kind of a reward I am saving for myself when I make at least 500 days on all the settings.

I thought it was just me.

Personally I see it as similar to the button mashing meter when fighting off regular wolves. Only real difference is the attack is more drawn out, and there is a range, mobility and the clicks have more meaning. That being said, I too think it would be cool to turn it off and have to wonder, "Am close to surviving this? Are they going away?"
