That reminds me, there’s a really great survival game called The Long Dark in which you survive a plane crash in something like the arctic circle and must survive. If anyone is into survival games, definitely check this one out!

It's an extremely captivating game with an unparalleled atmosphere.

Before I started playing the game, I saw in passing an in-game video of a well-stocked gas station. Lights were lit and shelves were stocked. It was made like an in-game advertisement of some sort.

Later, when I started to play the game, I recalled the video, and decided to reach the gas station and set up my base there. Imagine the food! The warm indoor temperatures! Brand new clothes!

After a perilous journey I reached the gas station. For some reason I was expecting the lights to be on and warmth, but of course I was greeted by a half-broken gas station, no lights of course, shelves were almost empty and cold indoors.

But it was a good base, lots of loot.

Was that the Quonset hut surrounded by wolves? I think on the broken highway map?
Yes, Quonset Garage on the Coastal Highway.

It was maybe this video, or a clip of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs2IYnNBVhQ
