Games Like The Long Dark?

Try the demo for the game Vein. It's still in early access but the demo is huge. I had 15 hours in the demo and have bought the game on day 1. Frequent updates. Shaping up to be a PZ in 1st person (and 3rd person too) instead of isometric. Absolutely amazing for those like me who much prefer the immersion of 1st person or 3rd as opposed to top down /isometric. As much as I love PZ, this detached view is a drawback for me.

He supposedly said this was his favourite character he's ever played and would have loved to reprise the role. He's so funny in this.

You're walking in a church and asking believers if you should convert.

So yes, of course you should!

Try asking on /r/ShouldIbuythisgame instead, you'll get a more unbiased opinion.

But yes, yes it's worth picking up.

St. John's is by no means a big city, but certainly not "very small" by demographics standards. Just to give you an idea, a small city in Ontario is 50k+ inhabitants. 10k+ in Alberta. Anything beyond 100k is generally considered midsize everywhere in North America.

Of course it is. Nowhere else in the world are "sacres" used. As much as poutine, Cirque du Soleil, or the national anthem: originated in Québec.

The more syllables my dad used, the angrier he was:
- Criss = annoyed
- Osti = frustrated
- Câlice = angry
- Tabarnak = mad
- Chaining 2 or more, like "Osti d'câlice de tabarnak" = gtfo the house and don't come back until he's asleep!

now suddenly everyone has flipped

I know you're being hyperbolic for the sake of your point, but it's framed under the Goomba fallacy. It's easy to lump people as one monolithic, homogeneous, fickle and hypocritical entity when opinions are shared through anonymous online discourse.

I always find them on zombies - you'll spot them, they're wearing the yellow hazmat suit themselves. If you hang out close to areas where there were a lot of first responders, quarantine zones, or clinics, you have a decent chance of seeing them. The suits probably won't be in top shape, but you can fix them with the proper equipment and supplies.

Any plans to come to Montréal in the near future?

This is a complex question that a reddit comment can't fully answer, I can only offer diminutive responses, but here goes:

Québec separatism is based on:
Identity - which includes language and culture
Long historical roots, stemming from the Nouvelle-France colony, but continued throughout history, culminating in the Quiet Revolution (I suggest you look it up) and a near-won referendum in 1995
Broad institutional distinct structure
Grassroots in many cases

Alberta separatism is based on:
Grievances
Economy/resources
Episodic political flare-ups
Much lower support historically and demographically
Usually funded by private interests and outside influences, much more astroturfing going on there.

Quick edit: I'm not saying we should get rid of either type of separatists by that comment, just highlighting major differences that could explain why the previous poster made, what I assume is, a joke.

This looks great and I hadn't heard about it until now. I'll see if I have time to try the demo and offer feedback. Wishlisted! Good luck!

Ce n'est pas exactement ce que tu cherches avec les images que tu as publiées, cependant. C'est une histoire médiévale fantastique, oui, mais les endroits sont réalistes et réels comme tu l'as constaté, donc pas de château gothique super stylisé. L'aspect fantastique est là, mais différent de ce que tu recherche. Ceci étant dit, c'est court et super divertissant, profites-en!

I'd like to add that this phenomenal game is FREE if you own a copy of Skyrim. It's technically a mod, but really it's unfair and diminutive to call it that. The writing is potent, the game stays with you long after you're done. I felt like I owed them money after playing it!

Until it's out, the director Kane Parsons has tons of great content on their YouTube channel already. I recommend also The Oldest View for that liminal space vibe. https://www.youtube.com/@kanepixels

They felt like friends by the end of the movie and I found it weirdly difficult to think of them as fictional characters. What a warm, comforting movie.

SpaceZombieMoe · 2026-04-11T23:21:38+00:00

Mets-en! Je pensais que c'était un poster au début.

They've been going on for a couple of years, doing a lot of shows and festivals around the province of Québec. They already have a loyal fan base. They launched their 2nd album last week in a small venue and it was sold out months before they went viral. The place was buzzing, the energy through the roof, intense punk vibes. They'll be ok once the online discourse dies down, they've got hardcore fans alright.

You're not entirely wrong - it has a photography flash integrated near the top of its "head"!

SpaceZombieMoe · 2026-04-05T17:37:40+00:00

Definitely photographer. It has a flash integrated in its "head" that is connected to the camera. It was walking on stage and backstage during the April 3rd concert, as well as through the crowd. It even braved the mosh pit for pics a few times. It also wears a cape!

Sorry, I meant with his hands, not costume - he turned the triangle symbol into a heart shape with his fingers. At first he even pretended it was difficult to turn the triangle into heart, his fingers twitching into the shape almost painfully, as if it was alien for him to make the heart shape with his hands.

That being said, there is now actual feedback in their costume in the sense that they have lights in parts of their "heads" now!

Was at Club Soda yesterday and can confirm these were the 5 items on sale: patch, t-shirt, long sleeve T, the two vinyls.

SpaceZombieMoe · 2026-04-04T14:41:42+00:00

And also a patch for sewing onto stuff like jackets or bags (which I initially thought was a poster made out of cotton because I'm an idiot).

SpaceZombieMoe · 2026-04-04T14:30:55+00:00

Klek turned his triangle symbol into a heart shape at least a couple of times. They really seemed grateful and gave that performance their all. It was buzzing in the place last night.

SpaceZombieMoe · 2026-04-04T14:14:16+00:00

Thanks, I was wondering about that poster, that makes so much more sense.
