"The long dark" and real life survival.

[UltraTaco]

Okay so taco plan to grab her pc(long story) to try out "the long dark". I've been reading around a little bit about survivalism nd this game(simulator?)

Since this game is tightly knit around survival in harsh environments, do you think this might be able to give taco the edge in case all goes very bad? I mean with talks of usa separating I to red/green states nd attack on russia?

How realistic does this game portray sur rival? Is it just for fun type game or more of a simulator where skills gained here might help in the wilderness?(maybe?)

Plz chime in if you tried the game nd especially if you have comparisons for real life.

Thank you.

Ps- this is what taco is been reading nd its mixed opnions(facts?)

That bear looks like he almost feels bad about the severe mauling he's about to give you.

 

[Comixbooks]

You play games just like me I just talk about them.

You've been spending time on the really stupid corners of the internet I see.

Well, I can't speak for the game but the guy in the pic had better luck than I had hunting.

Westwood that looks hardcore, mate! Wheres prey? Is he just sitting nd waiting? What if prey never come?

No deer. No bear. Nothing. Prey never comes, you walk back home thinking about all the the stuff you could have been doing the past six hours.

The long dark is a good survival game. Decent story.

Looks better than the man vs wild I was playing.

It looks cute. We should give it some hugs.

Doom was good training for Columbine so why not?

Taco needs to fix her "a" key.

So have you started eyeballing squirrels in real life as the food they are yet?

No matter how many survival games I played, wife said I won’t survive out in the wild for a day.

You want to see real survival watch shows like The Last Alaskans and Life Below Zero. There are a few others.

That was a good one. Back when cable TV actually had good, educational shows on. I watched a lot of Survivor Man & Dirty Jobs.

Yeah it was and still is a hell of a good show. Les put a lot of reality survival shows to shame and he did it before them for the most part.

He's got a YT channel where he does the same content. It's pretty new (maybe 6 months old).
