USA == SOCIETY apparently

The people who will be old in 2043 are middle aged now. Sure as fuck we didn't get those things...

!thelongdark@lemmy.ca, which put out a new content patch with some very nice immersion fixes this week. The new zone is very challenging.

Speaking personally, moving to Calgary would mean buying a car and giving up our 15-years-behind-the-curve rent, so it would be a huge boost in costs. I can't imagine they have great transit or bike infrastructure, and the provincial politics seem hell bent on making Alberta into a backwater extraction economy.

I do most of my drinking at the Naughty Satsuma these days.

That might do a number on /dev.

Absolutely, came here to say this. You can fully turn off what minimal ui there is and it's still playable. They could really get rid of some menus too, like cooking could be a little more drag and drop.

More animations too. Latest patch went a long way, but eg fire starting and the like.

Among the other suggestions people have made in this thread, I'd like to add that just covering something and allowing the food to steam-heat makes a big difference. For instance I will usually poke a well in the middle of leftovers, put a tiny bit of water in (especially with rice, which dries out) and cover it with a plate. The water boils and heats it much better.

Best game evar if you like survival games and walking simulators. :P

Hm, maybe I'm getting a little oversensitive to it after the last day, a bunch of people all posted it at once. :P That cross-beam in the last photo looks a bit like L.

I'm not seeing The Long Dark.

This happened during our visit to Victoria (BC). There's a cat marked on Google Maps near the Transcanada Mile Zero marker. Wasn't there, unfortunately.

Of course not, I'm not saying anyone's lazy. I would encourage people to learn how to do it, though! It's one of those things that is surprisingly easy and can save you some cash and fridge space.

You're not always going to be cooking a million other things. Sometimes you're just pulling cheesecake out of the freezer, and at that point a quick whipped cream batch is nbd.

I was counting that. Whiping cream is super fast once you know how, cleanup is easy. And buying heavy cream is something I would usually do anyway. Buying the prewhipped stuff takes no less effort than buying a carton.

It would definitely depend on your comfort level.

Seems like every generation has to learn the Old Lie again and again.

Some people confuse mild and delicate flavours with bland, too. Young Gouda isn't particularly strong but it's good and still distinct.

Sure, but it's only a bowl and a whisk. I just rinse them, too.

I guess everyone has things they find super easy and this is one of mine.

I never understood premade whipped cream. It takes two minutes to make. Cream, bowl, a little liqueur, tiny bit of salt, then go to town. Use a mixer if you need one, a hand beater isn't expensive.

I was unaware! I will try it earliest opportunity.
