Thanks for sharing my game with your viewers! You're totally right about the animations, it's something I'll focus on cleaning up very soon
your game is amazing ! i love how far the crafting details go, like the efficacy of smelting bronze depending on the % of tin vs the % of copper. i wish more survival games did this.
cool game!!! once its its fully out pls add mods😀
@@kingkarna7168 No don't add mods .... Mods ruin the game same w/addons and such
@@JamesAltoonaPA but with mods if you dont want them, you dont have to download them
@@kingkarna7168 Mod support is super important to me since it's why I got into game development in the first place when I was a lot younger. It will come to Blight soon enough!
Wish some of the "devs" of these survival games would coop. Some nail the graphics or UI or mechanics, but always lacking in some area. No need to keep reinventing the wheel.
True! I feel like I’m always searching for the perfect survival game but none have everything I need in one game.
The major barrier is actually budget: time, money, available resources. Co-opting would result in better games but would often cost exponentially more and that's before you get into arguments over direction, content, presentation, monetization, and so on. There's a reason the more popular survival games tend to have some gimmick that sells the experience: it's cheaper, sometimes easier, and occasionally simpler.
@@loosegasket I also feel "co-oping" would lead to a loss of ownership from devs. These are small indies, we have to remember that.
@@nodtothestrange1008 Haha that's exactly why I'm building out Blight. I always wanted a specific experience that I never got from other games, hence why I'm working on this! The real question is if there are enough people out there that share my preferences for a game like this
@@originalstudios625 I played the demo and I was really surprised since this is almost exactly how I'd make a survival game too.
Protein poisoning (also referred to colloquially as rabbit starvation, mal de caribou, or fat starvation) refers to an acute form of malnutrition caused by a diet deficient in fat, where almost all calories consumed come from lean meat.[1][2] The concept is discussed in the context of paleoanthropologial investigations into the diet of ancient humans, especially during the last glacial maximum and at high latitudes.[3][4]
It was also an issue for early European settlers/explorers in Canada.
For the English speakers out there;
Rabbits are so lean as a meat that when they are the only source of meat available, the human body slowly starves despite having food.
When settlers arrived in North America (I think Canada) they would catch and eat rabbits and for a while were ok but over time began to lose more and more weight before being forced to return to ports and areas with better food sources. There were tons of rabbits and they were tasty sure but as paleoanthropological expert number 73 explained the same can be seen throughout history that living purely on rabbit meat alone with source of fat is very bad for human survival.
What are the reference numbers for? You didn't include any sources.
@@daemonthorn5888 probably copy and pasted from wikipedia.
@@daemonthorn5888 He just did a copy and paste. Probably from wiki
on the topic of plant names: in Hungary, if a plant has wolf in its name, its usually, poisonous, if it has dog in its name, its usually makes you vomit.
Same in Russia - Volchie (wolf's) Liko is very poisonous.
Dude fells a tree 8 times his size and then just takes half of it with him with his bare hands. What a lad. And then he burns the whole freaking tree in his camp fire over just one night. This guy is single handedly responsible for razing the Amazon.
🤣
Cairns were also grave markers for ancient cultures. They'd pile/stack the stones over the grave, sometimes quite a large number of them
In Yorkshire England you have whats called The Lyke Wake Walk which is a 42 mile path across the Yorkshire moors. It is an old burial path with quite a few cairns marking the way some of which are also marking graves. They are also very helpful because it gets quite foggy at times, and you can see you are going in the right direction. I have completed the walk twice. To get your certificate and badge you have to finish within 24 hours.
What an awesome game! Can't wait to play it! On a side note, about coyote aggression, I was actually almost attacked by a pack a couple years back. I had my two dogs with me at the time, one which actually looks like a coyote with spots, so I didn't realize right away that we were being attacked. They were trying to run down my German shepherd to kill him, and I shouted as loud and deep as I could, and smacked my hands together. The whole pack stopped in their tracks and stared at me, while I called my dogs to me and backed away VERY SLOWLY without ever taking my eyes off them. If they wanted to take me, they could have. I was at a terrain disadvantage for one, because I was walking through a creak looking for crawdads and they were on a cliff edge several feet up. But they didn't, and we all escaped unscathed. Generally, they don't want to mess with people, and they have to be pretty desperate to do so. The main tip is don't run, stand your ground, and be loud af. Just my two cents. Hope you all never have to use that advice though!
Yeah, generally they want nothing to do with humans or light sources but if they're hungry enough and especially if you're out away from a house or fire then they know you're an option with risk. A while back they got someone near here that was out alone at their gate in the dark.
@@arkvoodleofthesacredcrotch6060 yikes! That's sad. Luckily for me it was broad daylight, or they might have taken their chances. They're certainly not animals to underestimate
Hope you got equiped for your next expedition tho x') in case.
@@SquaulDuNeant Oh absolutely. I always take a gun to the woods now lol
I had an encounter with one not long ago at 7h30 am . He was alone as I was in the middle of the trail. I'm 6 foot 1 and 204 pounds. I gotta to admit I was high on speed. We stopped to stare at each other for 5-10 sec. There was some attack a bit before that on a dog somewhere near. I laughed really hard and ran towards him to kick him with a jumping front kick with my working boot still laughing really loud as I ran. I was wearing a leather jacket,boots and jeans so I wasnt worried. I even had a tomahawk on my belt but in my m,ind no need to use it. He ran away in 1 second. That was fun :)
Tularemia is a rare infectious disease. Also known as rabbit fever or deer fly fever, it typically attacks the skin, eyes, lymph nodes and lungs. Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. The disease mainly affects rabbits, hares, and rodents, such as muskrats and squirrels
How I've not discovered this channel until now is beyond me. 20 minutes into my first video and it's an instant subscribe. It's extremely refreshing to watch someone play interesting videos games who is well spoken and educated.
Splatter is a great guy and he always finds the best games.
Welcome to the nerd castle ☺
I don't know... Im watching for the first time as well and I found him quite annoying and just talking way too much in the first few minutes. To each his own though I suppose.
Totally depends on where the Cairn is. Where I live, people have made an absolute mess of some of the rivers because they keep pulling stones out to make Cairns (for art reasons), which means fish and other critters don't have adequate places to hide, creating dead zones. So you're actually encouraged to knock them down back into the river if that's where they are.
Sounds like bs
@@Eyefornow that is no BS, stacking cairn endangers wildlife, that uses the rocks, however small, as means to escape predators.
That makes sense.
Random acknowledgment of the awesomeness of your profile pic and name. I see you are a person of culture. 👍😎
Yep if they are pulling them out of a river to make art or just to pull them out that is illegal in a lot of places not only because of what you said but that also causes erosion and silt problems which further causes oxygen problems as well. That is another reason they do not allow logging within a certain distance of rivers/lakes now as well.
I've always loved me some survival games, and since I've discovered your channel, I love those even more because when you're showing them off you also share so many cool tips and information about survival beyond the scope of the game and it's so-much-fun, thanks man.
"I guess I wasn't paying attention." Good old, Splat.
In regards to coyote aggression, due to their size, they rarely attack humans. they will do so if starving or in large enough packs though. basically like dealing with stray/feral dogs in poorer countries almost. they have to be real desperate to attack an adult. definitely watch children and pets around them though, they are opportunist.
Opportunist is a great way to describe them. They hunt smaller game, but are otherwise scavengers. They have more than enough intelligence to avoid bigger threats, but are not afraid to get close and get into everything given the opportunity.
Yep every year in my city small dogs are essentially taken right out of people hands. Coyotes have learned they can hunt near sidewalks and get a potential easy meal of someones small dog out for a walk as the dog has no way to run or fight while it is on a leash. Couple of those people were bitten while trying to save their dogs.
Gotta becareful though alot of coyotes in suburban areas are sick and more aggresive that way especially if they come across humans often
Look at this cat, casually explaining evolution while playing a game. There should be more people like you Sir, bravo!
I have a bio degree in plant evolution and when cat teaches evolution causally always makes me smile with joy.
settings: "Realistic"
Fire: *uses several trees to run all night*
definitely needs a rebalance
I get what your saying... But also it takes him like what less 30 seconds to process the whole tree? So while I agree the trees should def burn longer, suedo realism is better cause let me tell you and unexperienced logger will take hours to process a tree enough for use.
@@Alphascrub_77 with a day length of, say, 15 minutes, 30 seconds is 1/30 of a day, or about 50 minutes. So you could process a tree that fast.
You couldn't carry the tree, though. Maybe one log if your character is really strong, but a 1ft cut of a 1ft diameter log is like 40 lbs.
So they could fix it with realism by making a weight or mass based inventory system, but it would change the gameplay.
@@ancapftw9113 Do be weird he can just pick up a whole tree and put it in back pack. Always like the way "The Forest" did it. Specially with the lil carts and things later.
@@Alphascrub_77 I always think these things are really hard to get "right" what I always dislike is how survival games give incentive to be constantly hustling for food, firewood etc. so much that you can hardly build your hut whereas in real live you would spend 80% of the day taking it really slow to not waste energy
yeah kind of boring in a game but at least sitting around could conserve energy a bit more, it's annoying if your character automatically starves after half a day of not scavenging food
@@brohvakiindova4452 we need a game with a sanity and mental state that deals with the issues of being alone and stranded.
Wow! This has been a most entertaining and informative video. I grew up in the country and heard some very old people the talk about rabbit sickness. I didn't quite know what it was. Thanks good to know. Rock on!
He may have been confusing two things, there is another disease called rabbit fever (Tularemia), caused by a bacteria from tick/fly bites, that you can get by either having the disease enter your body via a cut while cleaning a rabbit or I believe by eating it undercooked.

NC: *goes on a rant about survival and caloric expendature*
Also NC: "Alright, two uses of a stone bowl is about this puppy's limit." *promptly wanders off into the forest*
As to the sorbitol content, appearently berries have a very low and mostly negible one while apples pears and peaches have a considerably higher one
This gameplay looked awesome, Splatt sounded quite entertained! Appreciate the vid!
this survival game does so many awesome things that i wish other games of the genre would do. like when you want to make bronze, the % of tin and copper actually matters in terms of the quality of the bronze that you will get out of it and that when you smelt it according to the first quest for it, you will have some amount of bronze left and if you put it back in your forge it will stay molten and you can pour it into a different mold to make nails for example.
Splatt seems immersed. Good show!
7:01 Every time Splat says "you're gonna have a bad time", all I can think is, he must've French fried when he should've pizza'd 🤣
I'm not much of an outdoorsman, but I happen to know coyotes tend to avoid people unless they're desperately hungry or diseased.
Would like a survival type game where the player character isn't basically a hummingbird. Instead of the pc dying if they dont eat twice a day, devs could just adjust the scarcity of proper nutrition
Not a fan of "hardcore realistic survival" games where surviving in the game is literally harder than it is in real life.
@@jjhill001 Thats fair. I'm thinking more in the line that you dont die if you dont eat every hour, but to balance that food is more scarce
If it were realistic the time scale would need to be adjusted for the weeks of not eating to even be relevant to gameplay, and the different effects that starvation and hunger can have.
You know too much about surviving in the wild to be a professional gamer. I really like your tips about outdoors survival. It's like watching a documentary :)
yea I used to spend a lot of time out in the wilderness with a partner or two, 4-5 hours from the nearest tiny village mapping mountain ranges for geology research. We came well supplied but it never hurts to have a solid foundation in outdoorsmanship juuuuust in case. Better safe than sorry.
@@Splattercatgaming yeah I imagined you had some actual hands-on knowledge because I have seen you play more than a few games about surviving in the wilderness and have heard your comments. It was either that, or you were really good a making up survival tips and stories...
@@Splattercatgaming Two partners at the same time? King of the night indeed.
Walking through the woods, I accidentally stumbled into a coyote's den. The coyotes were laying down and when I stumbled in there, the all lifted up their heads and just looked at me, waiting to see if I was hostile. I slowly started to back away not turning my back on them, and they slowly started to lay back down. I think they were just as afraid of me entering their den as i was entering it.
I like that you give game designers who are new at making games. A chance. I hate that I have spent money on these games that fall apart.
Nice, The Phantom of the Opera. "All I ask of you..."
Our boy SC is getting two unrelated conditions confused. Rabbit fever is different than Rabbit Starvation. Rabbit starvation is a term for protein poisoning, while Rabbit Fever is a colloquial reference to tularemia that is caused by parasites like ticks. Just another case of our host knowing so much that it blends together. Still great information Cheers mate.
I think I learn something from every one of your videos and I love that. I'm not being lazy, I'm learning!
Apologies for asking here, but will you ever make more videos on The Long Dark? I miss those trerribly, and there's been quite a few updates. Thank you!
He doesn't do series. If you want constant The Long Dark content, check this channel called LMG. I had been watching him since 2014 when I first started playing The Long Dark. Moved on from the game and him long ago, and only returned for the episode 4 recently.

Check Accurize2 for TLD content, he does 1h plays, always extremely calm, never srcreams or shout! 🤣
One of those games that leaves the mind wandering in a landscape of posibilities. What this game could become.
Sadly most game dev's are not the most creative bunch: "Cut trees, check. Fire, check. Release."
The sad sad truth...
Yea this game needs the survival aspect of find woman in bikini in woods, fall in love, repopulate the earth. 😏
Coyotes occasionally attack children and often eat pets left outside, in our more remote suburbs.
They attack pets here in Phoenix. I always feel bad when people post that their cat "ran away " in my neighborhood. They have attacked pets being walked by people, but not adults. Some near me are probably 50 lbs, as big as my dogs. The ones near me are afraid of people and will leave if they see you.
Very scary video: WARNING a young child is attacked.

@@joewilson3393 Also here is on of said cats, at least this one got news coverage. ua-cam.com/video/xSAQKU1MRks/v-deo.html
This dude really says ALT like that XD - Good video man, Keep em coming.
Came for the gameplay, practically learned how to survive in the wild. Thank you.
Blueberries have very little or no sorbitol. They are a natural antidiarrheal food as they contain polyphenolic compounds that reduce inflammation, and are antibiotic and anti viral. I give them to my kids to fight diarrhea. Works well.
The cairn part got me - in some densely populated areas, there is a cairn epidemic as a result of influencers influencing in the wild. Some places have so many cairns built that local park rangers have begun asking people to take down cairns they see at the end of scenic trails. A lot of the national parks in the southwest are actually ancient native land, and the thousands of cairns built there are actually considered desecration of the land by some of the local tribes. The mo' you kno'!
Just because I'm gonna be nitpicky - what he's explaining at 24:25 isn't "Rabbit Fever", it's Protein Poisoning. Rabbit Fever is something else entirely, a bacterial disease better known as "Tularemia".
Good video.
Coyotes eat lots of fruits. Plums, muscadines, persimmons around here.
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that really only effects you in juice. Also sugar free candy has pretty much the same thing.
This title looks quite interesting. I also really like the real life survival advice you pepper through your videos!
Lol coyotes are a far bigger issue here then Wolves. Wolves are cowards, but we have dawn to dusk curfews in winter as coyotes are very known to attack early morning dog walkers and eat people's small dogs. I'm really liking this game so far, thank you for showing it off to us
Top down survival that looks like every indie 3d survival. interesting!
OMG I love how you say ALT that made my day, love your videos :)
Rabbit fever is not rabbit starvation - two different things.
What You described is rabbit starvation (or protein starvation). Rabbit fever is infectious bacterial disease also know as Tularemia.
and game - added to whishilist - looks amazing.
wolfsbane is actually named such because of its highly poisonous properties being used to poison meat to get rid of wolves. It and its various other relatives have also been used by various cultures to poison arrows to help in hunting.
Blight or a man kills and eats rabbits for 30 minutes.
Coyotes dont mess with humans. There are very rare instances of packs of coyotes attacking humans but again...very rare.
Coyotes are opertunistic. They will eat you if you seem like an easy meal. Don't get stuck in mud around them and a stuck or two should keep them back if they aren't desperate.
Love what you said about cairns. Up until recently I worked with the USFS and our trail teams are technically supposed to dismantle any cairns they find as they are human "improvements" in wilderness areas. Needless to say it's a hotly debated topic over there lol. People who knock down cairns just for the hell of it frankly don't belong in the outdoors in the first place.
Rocks taken from rivers or from hills can increase erosion and disturb the wildlife, vegetation, and environment. So people who knock down cairns, including rangers and other forestry maintenance personnel, do so for good reason.
the way to stave off rabbit starvation is to eat some of the organs, as they are going to be the place where the rabbits fat is.
Thank you for this playthrough though, added it to my wish list and submitted a request to join testing. I am absolutely great at survival, in games or real world, and pretty good at alpha testing these days.
And yeah berries are bad for me because sorbitol is something I'm allergic to.
Now I tried this game 3 times.
First I picked the "ultimate realism" without maps, but that is even harder than IRL, so you really need a map in a game like this, where you have limited vision. (Yes, I was lost in the woods and couldn't find my way back to my base. And building cairns every 10 meters to point back would be too impratical. )
2nd time (on map mode) I survived for 8 days, until my steel axe was worn out. I eventually had it replaced by a crude bronze axe that broke on every tree. I also realised I wasted too much time on cooking, spending too much wood in the process, so not enough exploring. Most meat is ruined overnight anyway, since I haven't figured out how to preserve it better. It wasn't possible to put sausage in the tanning vat.
3rd time around I had the leather tanning and bronze smelting up and running already on day 2, so I could build all the stuff I wanted in my base. Was able to reduce my bligh infection to zero, after being above 4 at some point. Also found a handle for my bronze axe in a cabin (on a rusted steel axe). I quit on day 6 after I realised that you have to wait for the finished game to start iron working, so at that point the demo version was kind of over. Couldn't figure out if there was a way to heat the iron blooms to be workable on the anvil, but probably not? So nothing more to do until an update is realeased.
All in all a catchy little game, good value for money so far. The one big flaw is the bird perspective camera angle. I would like beeing able to look more forward, so you could easier find your base, see upcoming dangers and some visual landmarks.
I had no clue about the cairn. I always learn something when splat talks about things other than gaming!
WoW you are a bevy of information. Awesome channel. Keep up the good work.
on the Cairn note, i knock down most purely because they are bad for the environment and can kill small animals (talking the small ones, not the proper large ones that have been their for years). The new ones that keep sprouting up? Mounting skulls on them? Yea, they are fully unneeded in most parts now adays. Unless you are off the beaten path, with gps and how frequent people hike the areas, there is an easy way to find your way back.
A lone coyote is not a threat to anyone. But they are pack animals so your much more likely to run into 3-5 coyotes and then its a pretty big threat even with a gun.
This genre should just be called surbarvial with all those bars.
It looks exactly as EVERY other survival
copy/paste and bring in the money.
I've been playing video games for more than 40 years now. And the industry has grown immensely since the early 80s.
Back then it was normal for games to copy each other, since there were lots of hardware limitations and there was only so much you could do with a few kbs of RAM and less than 1mb of disk space.
Nowadays, programmers have amazing software development tools on their hands.
Yet it seems that I'm almost seeing the same dozen games being re-released each year.
I don't know
Maybe I'm just being a "old man yells at cloud" type. 🤷🏻♂️
@@karnak327 creativity and polish don't often go hand in hand nowadays. Either it's a soulless triple A shallow borefest, or it's an indie game revolving around a single gimmick or mechanic.
@@Eener1000 This is indie, tho.
Who would've thought I would learn something from your video? Wild fruits give animals diarrhea so they poop the seeds out all over the place
Please don't talk about falling trees you set my Valhiem PTSD off.
Just a heads up, Splat...
You're not wrong about protein poisoning. But, there is an actual rabbit disease called 'rabbit fever'. I was so confused for a moment, since I'd never heard rabbit starvation (protein poisoning) referred to as rabbit fever, but I did know about actual rabbit fever, or Tularemia. Anyway, you're doing good work with what you do on your channel. Just, maybe use a different colloquialism for protein poisoning.
In addition the "explanation" given for protein poisoning is complete fiction. Your body will NOT start to break down your brain unless you eat rabbit brain. That whole notion is some astrology/mysticism bs. The very existence of the condition as a distinct entity seems to stand on shaky ground as is mostly based on anectodes and 'folk wisdom' (which is sometimes solid advice and sometimes completely unhinged). In a survival situation the symptoms could easily arise from other processes, the prime candidate being buildup of toxic byproducts in the blood if access to potable water is limited. Or actual rabbit fever. Unhealthy animals are more likely to fall prey to mediocre hunters such as starving humans...
Coyotes aren't a big problem when theirs one, a pack of them can be dangerous, I've seen what they can do in a group, one of my grandma's neighbors had a very big dog, then the coyotes got ahold of him and tore him to pieces, there was hardly anything left of him
All these games where you collect wood and hunt food... Almost like the human species craves going back to it's hunter gatherer past.
Come for the indie skillet presentation, leave with handy survival tips!
Day off, Pay day, have loads of smoke and ready to watch some splattercat before I decide to look for a new game to sink into, your video on Survivalist Invisible Strain caused me to buy it immediately and looooove it. almost reminds me of a small scale Kenshi. is Blight it? Maaaybe! cheers to the videos brother! keep up the great content
I downloaded the demo and played and I can say the rabbits have to physically run into the Trap. I was chasing one around seeing if I can catch it and it ran right into the snare
Well at least your not punching trees an rocks, as metal as that sounds.
Two thumbs up, if for nothing else the Phantom of the Opera singing 😜
Diarrhea from sorbitol is (should) not really a problem in the long term. You just have to get used to it, after that it is fine. If you stop eating it then after a short while you will have to get used to it again.
looks like a potentially deeper immersive survival title as it develops. I'm wondering what you do further on, which is always a question with me about survival games, beyond a certain level of "survival" just what do you -do-, they sooo often seem to end up endless base-building and People just build yuge crazy bases and that's it.
Will get this game for sure once available.Looks Awesome!
Oh yes it reminds me of the time I wanted to make a fire in the woods.. First I gathered ten big stones so that my fire looks nice and then I chopped down the biggest tree in the forest.. Ahh such nostalgia..
"Rabbit Fever" is contagion called Tularemia.
This Bacteria is located through out the Rabbit/Rat/Mice/Squirrel/and Certain insects. Most rodent's have this, with some outright dying from it. Others will exhibit signs of disorders including running around in circles, or acts of bravery by running up to humans or predator's. Some will have visual bumps, and lymphoid lesions .Most people have seen Squirrels do crazy things, and recognize they have a mental issue:) .While other rodents infected might not have any symptoms. You can cook the bacteria out of the animal { medium-well }. What causes you to catch it is inhaling it, or skin contamination before cooking it. {"while Raw" The animal infects you, or if you under cook it less then medium} you have a some what chance of not catching Rabbit fever. "just depends" So cook your Game meat to medium, if not a bit longer :) And yes boil the crap out of your water. I remember Wild Cherry's will give you the hyper craps. This makes sense because of birds will eat the seeds. which can't be digested even by humans. Bird poop is the best fertilizer{with a seed on top:)} Back to the Rabbit- If you catch the fever from inhaling it. "it's then called pneumonic Tularemia" Cook your food, even from stores..
Came for the game, stayed for the survival tips
I wouldn't be concerned about A coyote....but a pack of them...yeah maybe
I don't know. After so many survival games i expect something more from the animations and logic: Hammering-animation for setting up a campfire (placing stones in a circle)? Tree stumps felled with an axe that look like a chainsaw was used? Using fresh wet wood for the fire?
Somehow that does not feel like survival, but generic fetch-quests (gather X amount of Item, receive bacon).
Lol coyotes behind the blueberries..
about the whole section about rabbit starvation (protein poisoning) starting at 23:50. i noticed three larger mistakes:
1. the brain doesn't need fat as much. it primarily depends on sugar. (it does need stuff like omega-3-fatty acid but that's more a quality than a quantity thing.)
(see update below) 2. About eating the brain and eyeballs. I don't think those two contain a lot of fat. I couldn't find anything about it. but generally speaking your brain consists of neurons and blood vessels and your eyeballs of neurons, connective tissue and water. in terms of getting the most nutrients out of a rabbit you should rather eat the bone marrow and boil the bones. (brain doesn't hurt)
3. finally I could find nothing about the whole 'your body starts to metabolize your brain [...] and your organs' 24:30 and that's probably because it isn't true. symptoms of rabbit starvation are nausea, fatigue and diarrhea. that's mostly because your liver and kidneys can't metabolize and process all that protein, thus poisoning your blood with amino acids, ammonia and urea. (only 20% of a typical human's diet is protein)
Normally I like your little interjections of random knowledge, Splat. even if they are not always completely correct. But this was a lot of misinformation in a short amount of time, which is a bummer considering a lot of (esp. young) people will believe what you tell them.
now i need to finish that video. it took me longer to google, read and write this than the actual length of the video.
regarding the 2nd statement: I was wrong there. brain does contain fat. nutritional values I found say about 10% of the weight. other sources about the human brain speak of over 60%. this fat isn't found in fat cells (which the brain doesn't have, which led me to my assumption) but part of the membranes of the brain's neuroglia-cells (kind of connective tissue)
I would add that if you're surviving on only meat as he mentions, you're probably more likely to get sick from vitamin deficiencies, like getting scurvy, on the long run. The brain would also be the last thing your body metabolizes, if it does at all. Folk-tale survival tips like this always remind me of the old ''cure'' for someone who has eaten destroying angel, which is supposed to have about a 50/50 kill rate. Hares are immune, and eat the mushroom, so people in some areas used to prescribe hare liver as a remedy. Half the time it seemed to work, but it had no actual effect.
The real problem is that folks get a lot of survival confidence through theory, which leads to practical mistakes in the field that wouldn't happen to someone who has less knowledge and approaches situations with more caution. Like how most deaths related to wild mushroom consumption happen to mycologists. They think they know better, and that gets them killed.
Thank you for taking the time to research, and write the comment.
talking about nutrition, Space Haven is quite clever to require you to balance food, or your characters develop deficiencies. So you can't just eat one item, of Nuts/Fruit/Vegs/Meat.
if you mash up the rabbit meat you can make sausage with the fat & intestine (The dev said he was going to give a higher food value because the fat was used along with the meat)
Bird + Letter = Homing Pigeon or Carrier Pigeon. Used for fast and fairly reliable air mail before airplanes or radio.
Love it the survival talk was great also cool info.
winner winner rabbit dinner
Animals just spraying diarrhea everywhere
What a nice game, already on my Steam Wishlist
been watching your vids for a while now, have a random playlist always in a tab in my browser for when i get bored.
my two most favorit things about you is
1. the humor! its brilliant and it acctually makes me enjoy your vids alot more. most streamers that doo this stuff are... well... boring... or "think they are funy" wich just makes them cringe.
2. the random scientific//survival stuff you add every now and then is quite enjoyable. thou i do NOT understand your love for shrooms o_O
I came for indie gameplay and left with real world survival Intel-- bushcraft huzzah!
Festivus doesn't actually have any wood. It's just an aluminum pole lol
3:39 I feel the same. I like good character animations where I can see weight of the character. Good example that many people will for sure know is GTA5 character animations where player character transfer weight while changing direction. Many games have instant dection change for player character and for me this is immersion killer.
Secondly. Splatty, due to you my collection of games is very vast and myself and my kids never get bored lol.
I live for the tangents you go on while playing these games. lol
Would have been nice to showcase a bit more of what the game had to offer, even a storage box would have been nice to make over the course of 30+ minutes.
I just keep hearing half my name and go "yes? Oh right."
oh an axe! I thought it was a selfi stick lol
I'm the same way: Graphics only matter so much, but animations are sooo tasty.
You had me at booger fumes.
0:25 so... Fallout :D
Came for the review, subbed for the “bluberberries”
like the durango in mobile, i loved this kind of games, just love the mechanics, cuz sometimes online multiplayer can be soo frustating, like playin with kids
They need to make a game like this but set in the Warhammer world and to pick what race you want to play as
