Dead Horse Interchange

Wing Diver is just op as fuck. In all EDF games.

Wing Diver usually doesn't have a good long-range option until you get the LRSL in a high enough rank to do decent damage. It doesn't really matter though, since nothing can escape from you anyway.

I pirated long dark, it was okay.

You like long and dark dicks.

I made it out of Forlorn Wolf-party and back to Lake Bitchmade. Now I'm ice fishing without a care in the world.

I learned along the way that using charcoal to fill in the map is a good idea and I should have been doing it.

Is that an euphemism for getting blacked?

Its Tictac, what do you think?

That's weird. You guys are weird.

I was talking about drawing a map with charcoal. There are no markers on the map to show your position, so it functions more like a real-world map and some gaymers might be dubious about its utility. It doesn't show your position or direction, there are no compass markings and you never get a compass in-game that I know of. But I was recently lost and I used the map + the position of the sun in the sky to roughly calculate where my base camp was at. It worked. Pretty cool feeling for a vidya gaem. A pale imitation of real life, naturally (like all vidyas) but kinda fun.

Another reason players might avoid mapmaking in The Long Dark is it requires time and resources. It takes time to map. You have to do it outside in good visibility conditions and preferably at an elevation. You have to carry around charcoal, which is heavy. You can't really map unless you're reasonably confident in your ability to regulate your temperature and you have enough food and water for a while. But if you can overcome those obstacles, a good map will give you a rough idea where every major resource in the zone is located. I'd say it's very necessary for any zone you're planning a long-term base around. Animals are a renewable resource and the map marks their spawn zones when you survey.

You'd think a compass would be a top priority for survival.

Useful for sure but you can use sun and stars. Kinda difficult to build a compass in the wild.

The game explains that. The setting for The Long Dark is within a winter apocalypse caused by geomagnetic storms. One assumes the geomagnetic storms scrambled compasses at the same time the power went out.
