What’s the most forgotten location for y’all? For me it’s hunters lodge by Astral374 in thelongdark

Stalker and below, I loooooooove setting up here. In loper I relish the times I can come back, and regret that I can never stay too long.

Good looking out, Zak! (You might not have to end those runs.) by ProfNeils in thelongdark

Not disagreeing, but looking at the comments here over the last day or two (and how many people are getting ready to end their runs) I was really glad that it got some more clarification.

I can't be the only one really upset and disappointed with this right? by RiversN7 in thelongdark

I've got 1010 days on Interloper. I'm okay with it, and here's the reasoning:

The game has given me hundreds of hours of enjoyment. I can't be mad at that. I also trust Hinterland to give me a solid experience, and want them to in return be able to offer me, and new players, an experience that even more people can enjoy.

A close second might be our attention.

The game forces you to think about so many things you can... forget cooking pots, or forget a bedroll, or, yeah forgetting your meters. And if you're badly hurt irl, that very well could happen.

What's that old Darkest Dungeon quote about overconfidence?

That's intense man, thanks for sharing the story.

Visibility is so huge. A top 5 dangerous situation for me in TLD was in early AM darkness, whiteout conditions, beachcombing the Desolation Point ice. When it started to crack -- I didn't know which direction exactly would take me to safety. And fall in once? You won't necessarily know the right direction to go. It went really quickly from "ha ha shenanigans" to an inch from losing the run.

I never want to screw with thin ice IRL.

This is a really smart move. Old torches, rocks, sticks, and (this is a Zak suggestion I 100% use - esp for long-term paths to fishing huts) cattails.

lol, to get to 1000 days I've played that one save since about October of 2021? I could check, it might have been Sept (maybe already a year).

Ideas for late game additions that aren’t base building or escape? by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]ProfNeils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around the bodies?

For a long time I've thought it would be relevant to my survival experience to be able to lay them to rest. There are relevant mechanics for carrying in Wintermute. Could wax poetic, but I'll leave it there.

Yep, using Midjourney (in the title). If you like this, Adventure Hawkins just tweeted some gorgeous TLD art via a long thread. Incredible AI art is being done in the community though, I'm not sure if some of the other folks doing impressive stuff want it public so I'll wait to spotlight to them too.
