For the past few summers, it's hit the 80's in Anchorage. This is TERRIBLE for the ecosystem Everything dries out and wildfires just rip through the state.
This is not normal.

Using the new Surface Pro 6, this still seems to be good advice. Another reason: when scrolling through a long page, there's no scrollbar in tablet mode to locate you in the page. zd.net/2KYdgVO via @ZDNet@twitter.com & @jkendrick@twitter.com

Having overcome the initial frustration with the controls, I'm proceeding with The Long Dark. The winter storms are very atmospheric. As in a dungeon crawl, one of the agonizing decisions is making the most of your finite carrying capacity.

It should honestly be illegal to require a notarized letter to let me leave the mormon church. If they're going to claim my membership was based on a legal contract, it should have been voided based on the fact that it was made under duress when I was an 8-year old.

Imagine believing that everyone having health care is tyranny but tanks in the street is a celebration of freedom.

The game IS pretty, and now I know the conventions. We'll see.

I'm back on track now, because each quest completed causes a new building to appear in an area that I already tediously explored.

In other news, I'm not a fan of the "this action takes time and you can't do anything but wait for it" mechanism.

Made another foray into The Long Dark. Quests? None outstanding. Turns out I had to go finish a conversation with the person who said "say the wrong thing and I'll shoot you" by asking them about their gun. In fact, turns out you HAVE to fully explore dialog trees.

Our summer student researchers will be presenting their work on Tuesday, July 9 at noon in Miller 105 on the @lewisandclark@twitter.com campus.

The Long Dark, Subnautica, and even Pokemon GO all suffer from reaching an anticlimactic point where you're just wandering over a vast area scavenging for increasingly rare treasures. How is this fun? How can we make the survival game we're building fun?
