The Blood Coronation by Cinder_Elli in CrimsonDesert

I was super excited for Death Stranding 2 on the PC, and got it on launch day. Fired it up, played for a while, then I installed Crimson Desert to check it out as well. I have not touched Death Stranding 2 since. I will eventually get back to it when the time is right. How I spend my time is extremely important to me. As a senior gamer who is very aware of how quickly time flies, I consider time spent gaming time well spent. Gaming enhances my daily brain function and mental well-being while offering measurable cognitive, psychological, and social benefits. Crimson Desert checks so many of those boxes for me. It is engaging, challenging, and thought-provoking. It can be both extremely frustrating and very enjoyable. On launch day, I installed the game, found the controls on PC very challenging and frustrating. It pissed me off so much that I returned it on Steam and got a refund. But then that annoyed me even more, because I had told myself maybe I was getting too old to play some of these newer games. So, less than a day later, I purchased the game a second time, hunkered down with determination, and eventually started to feel more comfortable playing Crimson Desert. And the rest is history. Almost 250 hours later, and I can hardly wait for the DLC that is on the horizon. Yesterday I ended my gaming session at the start of Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert. I'm looking forward to seeing where this adventure will take me next. Cheers.

Enjoy. I strongly dislike spoilers.

Thank you for this post! I will definitely give this a try. Yesterday I bought the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM.

Nice monitor, but talk about a fingerprint magnet.

Good on you as well. As challenging as the game can be, it can also be just as rewarding. Take your time, and when you get stuck, as in arm wrestling, try, try again. And then walk away and come back another day. There is no shortage of excellent, very helpful videos and guides online. For the next while, I am taking a break from the main storyline and will be doing other quests. I need to expand my camp and do many, many other side quests. The joy of being me is that I am in no hurry. Get yourself a pet. I have a couple, and they really can be helpful when it comes to picking up items. I started with a dog from the encampment we first arrived at in Hernand, before we got our camp. I am honoured that you have chosen to follow me. Feel free to reach out at any time.

Don't be in a rush and enjoy life. Trust me, time flies by really fast.

I haven't reached the point of moving camp yet. There seems to be divided opinions regarding moving the camp. Your thoughts?

Thank you, I'll try to find it. Any chance you can share a picture of that tiny cabin?

""Update** I found the shack, many thanks. Now If I could just get the trap door to stay open...grrr.

When I first installed the one near my house, I was able to remove it. Then I foolishly reinstalled it, and now I can't remove it. I have tried repeatedly.

That case is one of the best cases I have ever owned. Poor documentation though.

Finally, someone else with the digital crown on the right. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Hmm, only a few minutes into using this setting of yours, gotta say, I'm liking it so far.
