Survival Is Earned. Chaos Is Documented.
The next entry in The Cold Chronicles: A Voyageur’s Tale of The Long Dark drops later today. Expect questionable survival strategies, accidental sprains, and the kind of looting choices that make future-you roll their eyes.
Check back soon—because nothing says cozy like reading about frostbite from the comfort of your warm couch.
You’d think spawning in a desert would teach someone a little humility.
You’d be wrong.
I took my first dusty steps into ARK: Scorched Earth on easy mode—and let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. There were bushes to punch, shirts to accidentally mass-produce, and a doedicurus with a very personal vendetta.
Curious how it all went down?
Check out the full Day 1 Diary now and witness my first sunburned stumble through the sand:
It’s a hot, unforgiving wasteland out here. No snow, no ice, just endless sand and heat. In my latest Day 1 Diary, I venture into ARK: Scorched Earth, where the weather’s not the only thing that can kill you. Expect deadly creatures, extreme conditions, and a whole new survival challenge.
Stay tuned for the full post—find out how I’m holding up against the elements, surviving in the desert, and what’s lurking just out of sight. Will I make it past Day 1? Find out soon!

Some say Bleak Inlet is for experts. I say, “What could possibly go wrong?” My cozy survival playthrough kicks off in one of the game’s most unforgiving regions—and yes, I immediately regret everything. But with the power of Voyageur mode and a healthy fear of cougars, I brave the cold so you don’t have to.
Voyageur Day One: Desolation Point Disasters
Kicking off my Voyageur playthrough of The Long Dark on Nintendo Switch, I found myself dropped into the icy isolation of Desolation Point. Between dodging wolves, scavenging for supplies, and discovering that boats are only useful when not frozen solid, it was a classic first day in the apocalypse. Want to know how I fared (and how many times I nearly froze to death)?
