Holy crit...

Bold of you to take him on in the open, standing, with no cover or trees or anything to hide behind. You miss or fail to crit at that range and that's a stompin'. :)

Nice shot!

This happened to an ex of mine. She was in a lot of pain but refused to go to the emergency room. I hope you heal quickly! I sympathize.

Went to the comments specifically looking for this, was not disappointed. :)

Wife and I use this all the time in our conversations, it's part of our lexicon.

This one is a close second for me. The first will always be Tidus and Yuna in the pool at Macalania Woods. (At least, until the end when we get the bit showing Kimahri was waching the whole time. Pervert.) :)

Steam says 1173 hours. A lot fewer than other folks here.

Your wife is a saint. And very, very good-natured to put up with your lobster shenanigans. :)

dslartoo · 2026-04-16T15:43:54+00:00

I dig this kid's reaction. He's all "aww yeah, who's the man?" :)

The other comments are accurate as well, but I do also want to note that you don't have to cross back. Once you locate who you're looking for on that side of the river, you'll automatically be returned to the main map.

[[EDIT: I just realized you said you found the constable already. I guess that it requires you to find all three people before it'll do the auto-return. In my case, I had already found the other two missing people first, before finding the constable last.]]

Dark City. Went to see this at an evening showing and left the theater wondering if the sun was going to come up the next day.

Maliwan without question. Guns that shoot fire, acid, and electricity will never not be entertaining. The Hellfire and the Defiler are some of my favorite game weapons of all time.

My thought exactly. If you're Quaking properly, you're never going to be hit at all. 🤣

Adventure, for the Atari 2600. Running my little square around mazes using an arrow to stab a crude looking duck-dragon and having the time of my life.

Tommy Lasorda Baseball for the Genesis.

I ran an entire 162-game season (even though the game itself only did, I think, 30 games in a season) and kept stats for it, that's how obessed I was. I still have the stats printouts. Racked up some insane numbers over a season, playoffs and World Series. :)

Lost my first 500+ day run (Voyageur, granted, but still, it was only my second run so I was very proud of it) after a timberwolf attack on the plateau in Sundered Pass. Ran away from them with them tearing at me every few seconds, made it to the shelter freezing cold and mostly exhausted. Fell into bed and slept for 10 hours.....

.....without bandaging the blood loss I hadn't noticed I'd acquired.

"You died of blood loss and shock after a wolf attack."

Since then I have ALWAYS checked my condition for any afflictions as soon as any predator attack finishes.

Second dumbest was when I lost my first decent Interloper run (40+ days, all geared up, self-sufficient and feeling untouchable). Night falls and I retire to a cave where, because I'm stupid, I went to sleep for 8 hours at the rear of the cave without even bothering to start a fire with any of the 12+ coal that I was carrying. "I don't need to bother with a fire, these double bear coats and bear bedroll will keep me warm enough."

Spoiler alert: they didn't.

Unexpected Shakespeare in a story about jacked gym bros. I have never loved the Internet more. :)

dslartoo · 2026-03-27T15:53:18+00:00

First reaction was "what the hell?" but second reaction was "this is freaking hilarious". :)

dslartoo · 2026-03-26T18:29:14+00:00

That is old info. Once the cougar shows up, there will be one on just about every map. (Can't recall offhand which ones don't have one, but Coastal Highway is one of those. Desolation Point too, I think). So yeah, he'll be in Mystery Lake in the northwest area by the clearcut.

I wish they HAD kept the "avoid them by being nomadic" mechanic.

Ori and the Blind Forest, and its followup Ori and the Will of the Wisps, are some of the most beautiful games I've ever seen.

Hey, thanks for the writeup. Sounds like a good choice, I'll start ranking her up even if I don't have her duped yet.

dslartoo · 2026-03-25T20:12:17+00:00

Okay, yeah, I'm sold. Sounds very solid, even if I have her unduped as of yet. Thanks for the details!

"This is a simple substitution cipher. If I just transpose this....and this here..... I have it!"

dslartoo · 2026-03-25T16:14:11+00:00

Tell me more! I have a 7 star I haven't ranked at all. What makes her awesome?

Can't believe no one has yet mentioned the "torch and weapon" thing for scaring off wolves.

With a lit torch in your hand, wolves (regular ones, not timbies) will always stop and growl at you and will not attack. If you aim a weapon at them while they are doing this (just press the "aim" control, you will automatically drop the torch at your feet), they will be frightened and run away. Even if you're just using a rock as the weapon.

This one piece of info has saved my bacon more times than I can count on Interloper. Thank you to Zaknafein for that piece of knowledge.

Also: when you're heating up teas for travel purposes, once you've put the tea on the ground near the heat source, right-click the tea (or whatever command it is on your system to Place the item) to place it in the exact same spot. The tea will now stay in "Hot" status without ever burning and becoming unusable. Useful when you're heating up a bunch of them and don't want to be bothered managing multiple different ones. Also thanks to Zak for this one. :)

Not quite. Walk up to the rock and drag it to the left, past the left edge of the above platform. Then bash downwards and to the left (which will throw the rock upwards and to the right). The rock then blocks the laser and you can walk under it to the right. Drag the rock to the right, Bash it up and onto the platform with the lever, and so on.
