So I’m playing The Flame in The Flood and... the steam achieve percentages confuse me. More people have killed a wolf than have used snakes to kill hostile wildlife? HOW? That’s one of the easiest way to kill anything trying to murk you if they’re on the map, and it doesn’t use any of your resources! And more people have done BOTH of those things than maxed out their inventory???? It only takes 2 pouches! And you are SO CRUNCHED FOR SPACE ALL THE TIME FOREVER!

In conclusion either I am playing this game wrong or a whole lot of other people are. Evidence inconclusive.

#admittedly part of my space problem is because I am hoarding the fuck out of all the non-perishable food I can find #but it's a survival game #you're supposed to do that #because there will come a point - inevitably - when the game is like #'winter is fucking HERE bitch I hope you laid in stores to last you through it'#I'm fairly sure water is not going to be a problem #since you can gather rainwater #and the game LOVES to rain on me so far #possibly that won't continue though #since now I have good enough gear that it's not giving me hypothermia every time it happens #like it was at the beginning of the game #also some of the achieves I looked at and went 'I will never get that! :D'#like #stack ALL the afflictions? I think poor Scout would just. die.#I did ALMOST die this playthrough like I was so close I moved all my best stuff to the dog for NG+ use #raft was at 7/100 hp right before rapids #I was like 'okay so if I touch A N Y T H I N G we're fuckin' dead'#and then we did not die #amazing #I have no idea why I like survival games better than things with combat #in both cases stuff is trying to murder me #in both cases I am trying to cleverly come up with ways to not die #but for some reason there has never been an RPG where I did not at least WANT to cheat myself into god mode #but in survival games I will often opt in to trying to kill things #I think it's because in survival games going 'NTY' and fleeing in terror is not only a valid choice but often a sensible one #because the goal is not winning at murder it's just refusing to die #and I am at heart motivated by spite so the second is more satisfying to me somehow #oh geez I wrote a tag novel #sorry everyone #I'll put this in the
