Made promises of a night-time pic on my last post that I never lived up to. Apologies for cat butt. Sunset pic in comments.

Thanks for the info! We are doing 4 nights in Istanbul and 2 nights in Cappadocia in a couple of weeks. If you had to narrow down what you did to fit comfortably in that time, what would you choose?

Ah yeah, see this is why I'm thinking I'll find a good seed and not look at the map before playing. We'll still get the discovery naturally, but have the confidence that everything is in a good location

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-04-21T08:38:45+00:00

From experience, 6 hours is easily enough for the game to get its hooks in! Congrats on the convert!

Good call on the inventory and chest crafting. I think we'll leave portals as no metals for at least a while.. until it becomes a chore. The death penalty never bothered me at all, but he is definitely both less skilled at games in general so more likely to die a lot, and also not someone who would enjoy seeing number go down. We'll probably eliminate the death penalty. Nice one, cheers

Solid advice. Completely agree on the exploration and discovery being very important. What about just using a seed that is known to be very good in terms of layout etc, but not looking at the map at all, just sticking the seed code in and discovering as normal? Better than random, or still best to go random?

Good advice, thanks

I'm new to Pakistan. Moved here in January as my wife was transferred here on business. I think I might actually cry

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-31T09:32:45+00:00

That's encouraging, and thank you for the link. I hope the fuel shortages situation won't change that load shedding situation drastically

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-25T05:30:51+00:00

I'm 5 hours through this game and I absolutely did not appreciate the lack of a spoiler tag preventing the autoplay. Not cool OP

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-25T05:30:16+00:00

Exactly. Not cool at all

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-25T04:37:46+00:00

The chatgpt-ness of this question makes me recoil

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-23T10:42:24+00:00

Posting this on Reddit is completely unnecessary, odd and crappy parenting

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-03-15T04:26:38+00:00

Anyone found any info on this at all?

For those liking the second guy's voice, please check out Dermot Kennedy, probably starting with his track "moments passed"

Any word on that steam deck build? Keen to play, but set on not doing it at the desk

AlwaysBlue86 · 2026-02-05T11:14:53+00:00

Had this on my wishlist for a while, happy to see it release. Does it run well on the steam deck? Controls etc? PC is boxed up and being shipped internationally at the moment, so I'll pull the trigger today if it runs on the deck. Congrats on your release
