About Clay, if you want it gone do not try to remove it. Mix in compost to break down the clay composition. DO NOT ADD SAND! It makes clay bond harder like cement. Also it helps to mix in some top soil mixed with loam if possible once the clay starts to break up. Clay is loaded with nutrients and will be a huge help in growing healthy plants. My backyard started as clay. I spent 1 year working in compost and loosening soil. Patience will pay off. Start making as much compost as you can at home. Use about 50% green materials (fresh cut grass, used coffee grounds, fruit/vegetable scraps,, plant trimmings) and 50% brown materials (mulched fallen leaves, mulched branches). Add water as you build your pile. Don't soak it, but get it spongelike damp. Just add the water after you add enough material that it feels dry. Then turn the pile once a week and add more water. This method does not stink as long as you turn weekly and add water. It breaks down fully in 4 to 6 weeks.
Definitely useful info on compost, but there is an easier way for clay soil rather than working it in. The compost adds the much needed life and carbon, that's what's breaking it up. You can make wca (water soluable calcium), that will help the clay stack so water can run through it. Add LABS (lactic acid bacteria serum), for some life and starting the processes of succession. Then add some IMO (indigenous microorganisms) to bring in the best most diverse microbes you can get. Lastly add FAA (fish amino acids) FPJ (fermented plant juices) and brown sugar for "nitrogen" and carbon. Everything should be diluted and in liquid form. After doing the above steps then mainly feed with IMO, and FPJ. My compacted clay is now cushiony, soft, teaming with roots after 6 months.
Don't think you'll ever read this, but if you're having trouble with clay messing up your garden I would definitely suggest creating a boxed in section with a mixture of black dirt and biochar (primarily black dirt with biochar mixture to help hold nutrients better) and then fertilizer on top. It's a lot of extra work, but once you get it set up it really justifies itself in the long term.
What I would love for item durability, is that the items do not break at all under their intended use, but can take damage from something attacking the weapon direclty or from being used for something it isn't designed for. Using an axe to chop stone for example should break the axe, but using it to chop wood doesn't.
I was about to say something like this. Axes and Hammers last longer than they do in games, but they don't stick around for decades without maintenance. The last thing you want is a chip getting knocked off at high velocity and going into your eye or arm, or the whole damn handle snapping and whipping action end into your dog.
Clay is loaded with minerals that are great for plants but you have to amend it a bit. Don't get rid of it. Add organic junk. Compost and small branches and leaves. Kitchen compost if you have it. It is great once amended. Dig that stuff in and mix it up. You get better soil and happy plants.

Blue berries are good if you get them fresh at the right time. As far as sweet wild berries go you should try mulberries, really sweet and go great with icecream.
Blueberries have to be in season man. Tis not the time of the berry. I've had blueberries that literally made me laugh and I've also had sour, soft bleuh berries that cost the same but do not taste the same. Give em another try in 4 months when they're sweet and crunchy.
Might be like Blackberries? We had tons of those near our house when I was a kid, I remember them tasting so good at times and bitter like heck at other times. The only problem is that you really couldn´t tell the difference.
Yep - season, location and freshness make a huge difference. Go out to the Carolinas, go on a hike and pick some wild blueberries in the proper season (I want to say Fall). I'm from MN, so that's not a "my local region has the best ----" bias thing. Though, we do have the best apples here. Come at me ;-)
It's more about freshness of the fruit and the ripeness. If you never had a wild forest blueberry, you never had real blueberries. Just stick with those giant commercial blueberry imitations that are sweet and delicious. Some supermarkets freeze berries and sell them as fresh ones, parasites...
It’s cool to watch so many of the Dev Diaries of how this game was made on Unity, and now finally watching it played on this channel. I would think these game assets could be used to make a Rim World style of game, but I think the main developer is more of an artist than a programmer.
"you have to switch to the pickaxe to mine resources I dig that" Chatercat Babbleonian. I dig your keenly alert mind, quick witted, English language learned babbling. What a hoot!
Don't let the farm raised blueberries sold in grocery stores shape your judgment just yet. Those produce section berries usually look fantastic, but they suck in every other way. They are so mushy and downright flavorless when compared to wild blueberries, it is a night and day difference. Soon it will be wild blueberry picking season up here in northern Minnesota, and I cant wait! I hope SplatterCat gets to experience the magic of fresh wild blueberries some day, they will change everything he thought he knew about blueberries.
Wow this game is beautiful... Very strong Dysmantle vibe but better. The animations and art quality are pristine, rarely seen in an indie game. Its more than obvious that the developer actually loved making this game. This is definitely a buy from me.
Tip: if you ate blueberries that weren't firm and were swooshy...they aren't good..but the firm ones are usually pretty good. They have blueberry chocolate bars (forgot what the brand is) in the checkout aisle in Walmart that are good. They say blueberries are good for anxiety.
Blueberries seem so wildly variant in quality, like some are amazing and then in the same tray it's like these dried and shriveled ones. I usually give them a freeze and it's great.
Agreed! Every carton is so different from the next, some can taste like absolute squishy nothing and the next a super crispy, juicy, tart berry. Great advice i've never tried frozen blueberries but I have had frozen grapes, they are amazing in the summer 🎇👌
Where I come from, most blueberries you can buy are garden ones and those are shit. Good ones are wild ones you can find in forests. If your teeth ain't blue after a handful, those are not true blueberries )
The trick is the buy them local and in season, otherwise they tend to be hit or miss, mostly miss. Frozen is good because they are picked at peak ripeness and then immediately frozen.
I've always found that blueberries, individually, don't really taste like blueberries. However, if you eat several at the same time, then you get that flavor. You could boil blueberries, for a while to get a good flavor without adding sugar, too, but I haven't done this specifically.
A pickaxe to the face probably does more damage than a sword though, its always been strange game logic that they are useless against flesh while they can cut stone perfectly fine.
if you think that it means you've never used a pickaxe in your life. By the way a pick breaks stone it doesn't cut it. In the time it takes for someone to swing a pick they could swing a sword 3 or times, not only that you don't even need to put a lot of power behind a sword to do damage, while you must put your entire body behind a pickaxe swing which makes it super inaccurate against moving targets.
@@cesar9058 But the counterpoit is that swords are simply awful against armored target. If I had to go against someone with nothing but a shirt on them I would of course go with sword but against someone with chainmal I would go with pick. It doesn't matter if I swing 3x more if I can't hurt the enemy.
@@matiwarzecha8450 you know people did fight armored oponents with swords, swords are pretty easy to manipulate so they are very accuratte and if you want extra accuracy use halfswording. Mail as gaps on the face(where irl 95%+ of all killing wounds are found), and a sword can still brake bones while being faster than a pickaxe, and it being cumbersome and requiring both hand to even use which would make it easy to swat aside with a sword or deflect with a shield do to how slow it would swing, there is a reason pickaxes weren't used(warpicks that's another story as they are actually made for use in battle, but still were very rare only mostly used to battle fullpalted opponents during the transition period of the late middle ages to the Renaissance, it fell out of favour quick for a reason aswell, people don't use ineffective weapons)
@@cesar9058 A sword that you can swing 3 times as fast as the pick is pretty useless against the creatures in the game though. Far too light and will be blunt after the second hit.
On your clay substrate, much of it is high in nutrients. The plants and roots can't penetrate, so they wither or drown depending on moisture content. ADD compost to the clay soil before each planting year. I've seen countless gardens completely transform within five years. It's a slow process, but naturally amended!! Good luck, gardeners!
4:25 I don't like games where your tools break when their durability runs out. But I do like the games that as the durability goes down, the efficiency of them lowers too. They don't break, they just become slightly worse and worse, and just need to be retained, but will never break, or become completely unuseable.
This guy gets it. That system, seen in games like Monster Hunter or Hardspace: Shipbreaker, are in my opinion the perfect balance between breakable and unbreakable tools. You can even slide closer to the feel of either breakable or infinite-use tools by adjusting the amount of uses before the tool degrades, the number of stages of degradation, and/or the size of the degradation's effects. So a tool could go for a long time without breaking, but then be next to useless until it is repaired, making it feel like a breakable tool, only you repair it instead of replacing. Or you could give it a short duration of effectiveness, but only a small decrease when damaged, making it feel like an infinite-use tool with the ability to give it a boost to max power after repair. Or you could make it more like MH weapon sharpness, with a a number of stages that decrease effectiveness, from actually having bonus damage when sharp, down to doing majorly decreased damage and often bouncing attacks when dull. Honestly I think LoZ:BotW would have been better with some form of that system, if it made weapons a bit harder to get. Granted I haven't played it yet, but from what I've seen it seems like weapons are a lot like items in RPGs, where the best ones never get used because you MIGHT need them later, so you only use the weapons you have a lot of.
You can change your clay soil using gypsum and worms. There may even be other methods, this is just the two I know of. Different clays may make a difference, but check it out.
Thank you so much for covering this game! I installed it immediately after watching this vid, and completed the demo in about 4 hours. I completely fell in love, and I can't wait for the full release!
The game has an obvious charm and some nifty mechanics, like the active timing for harvesting and combos in fighting, it adds an agreeable rhythm to those tasks we do so much of in survival games.
It’s hard to tell whether a blueberry is sweet or tart based on sight. Remember, they’re plants, not soda, so the range of sweetness has a larger margin. To better your chances, you should buy them when they’re in-season.
Splattercat sees a node that is glowing. Also splattercat: “O.o its glowing, can I touch it? O.o Aha😹 Don’t look now Splattercat, your geologist is showing. ;)
Omg ! Blueberries are my favorite thing ever, makes me wonder what other favorites I am missing. Splat, maybe your box was filled with bad ones ? I dont know
'i'm gonna make him into the hero from quest for glory.' ...love it. also, wild blueberries are fucking awesome, but you're not gonna get good ones at the supermarket. gotta pick them off the bush. also, they're not in season too terribly long.
This info comes at the demanded behest of my wife: You ate blueberries out of season, go buy some now or go to a farm to pick your own. Out of season they require sugar or other sweeteners to draw out their flavor, but in season they develop that glucose content all on their own. Blueberries are great to be eaten alone, but like most small berries, they need to be eaten raw IN SEASON.
Long story short: Black-Huckleberry are what we call "myrtille" in Europe, often mistranslated by "blueberry" in English speaking country. (B-HB can't be cultivated, in Europe or US) * "true" blueberries (for a European) are black/dark_violet in the interior (the juice too, very hard to clean of white clothes!) and the size of a pea or chickpea at best... if you got a berry that is black/violet skinned, grape size, and with white flesh... it is the American cultivated hybrid or even wild (that has no taste compared to the "savage" European one). PS: After some more researches, i read that "European myrtilles" are not even related to the US blueberries species (they are of another genus). They have a common ancestor in the past, but that is all. It is not at all the same "berry".
@@unlimiteddd pea sized? Lmao u trippin. I live in US and we have fine blueberries. They arent pea sized anywhere unless ur picking them to early. Maybe u should look up a pea. Even in us they arent grape sized. You used a range from pea to grape when a pea is like 10% the size of a grape. A healthy blue berry falls into the middle of this. Way to try and make it a culture divide tho between us and eu lmfao
@@Odyssey636 Hum not tripping at all man! ʕ-ᴥ-ʔ If you see a "blueberry" that is more than a chickpea size (and flat-ish, ie not almost spherical) it is not a "true/natural blueberry" (or "black huckle berry" for its real US name) for an European. There are mostly the size of a green pea! (and the juice is dark black/violet; if you stained white clothes with, it will almost never go away!). There is a good chance that you have never tasted what i am talking about. (which is what we have plenty in Europe in forest/garden etc...) The general problem is that the term "myrtille" in Europe is mistakenly translated by "blueberry" in the US. They are not the same at all! After some more researches, i read that "European myrtilles" are not even related to the US blueberries species (they are of another genus). They have a common ancestor in the past, but that is all. It is not at all the same "berry". In Europe, we commonly called the US blueberries "fausse myrtilles" ('fake black huckleberries' so) , or commonly "bleuet" or "airelle" to indicate mostly the lack of flavor of them (compared to the "great ones"' lol) They were not heavily commercialized until somewhat 10 years ago because of that for all i know. Here are what i found & eat in the wild (or garden) in France in my youth : joshfecteau.com/foraging-wild-fruit-black-huckleberry/ These are what i was talking about! ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ We make jams/jelly out of it, and it is delicious! (but very strong flavored! Even one berry can be too much for some people with its intense flavor! Can be very acidic too if not 100% ripe like a redcurrant or cassis/blackcurrant) I recently tasted US blueberries for the first time, and i was disappointed by the lack of flavor of it. It is not bad, but incomparable with "myrtilles" (and now with the open market in France that copy US products... even french people that are mostly young city people think "blueberries" are what we call "myrtilles" in the past... a real shame/error! ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ)
Yo that load screen artwork was nice. I wish more games would do that, have dedicated artwork or even better have concept art for the load screens as little bonus' to players.
I think durability in a game is fine, if done right- The same as real life, when you use a tool, say a knife, you have to maintain it. In real life, a kitchen knife has to be resharpened, and depending on the material it may have to be resharpened more often than others. In games- if you can repair and maintain stuff easily enough that it doesn't get in the way, and you don't have Zelda: Breath of the Wild logic where steel breaks if you sneeze too close to it, then I think it can be done well. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion style. In games, it can work well to help pace out progress. It can stop people just rushing through, but (again, Breath of the Wild) if you have to keep going back to constantly repair without making any progress, it starts to hinder gameplay instead of pace it.
Downloaded the demo and played for a while. I should have set up a bed as it is the save point earlier. When you die, you keep your tools/weapons, but lose all materials/gold. The refinery is pretty good for getting iron fragments.
Rather than durability, I wish they add sharpening giving buff to tools improving their use (cut/mine faster) while not having durability requirement. When the tool buff is gone the tools are still useful but its gives intensive to just sharpen tools for the tool buff.
Attacks monster with a pickaxe, has an axe right next to it. "Damn, I need a weapon" Sometimes watching you is so hard to do. Also, fresh blueberries suck, you aren't alone. The only time they're worth eating is if you're the one picking them.
I think blueberries are a lot better fresh if you can get them directly from a farmers market or something. The ones at the grocery store tend to get all bruised at the bottom and those ones kinda make the whole experience worse. I agree tho they still are better when cooked or baked into something else
I agree tools in general break too fast in many games, but they should still require maintenance in survival focused games, I think the Tinkers Construct mod for Minecraft handles tool durability well as tools made with stronger stuff generally lasts longer and the mod's tools aren't gone forever when they break, you can repair the tool for less than is required to just make a new tool(I have played games where repairing a tool was more expensive than simply making a new one).
Can't tell you how much I agree with the "we need to get rid of tool/weapon health bars" thing. I could understand damage maybe; "your axe has become dull, it requires sharpening", yeah I get that but to just all out "so you've swung your axe 137 times, it will now be deatomized" thing has got to go.
This game is so beautiful because it's legit made by an artist/graphic designer. Flow studios on TH-cam you can check it out, he used to go by the name flow graphics back when he used to teach people like me how to make awesome stuff in Photoshop.
Hey man, great video overall. Now about the blueberries. You might have not liked them because they were store-bought, those tend to have very watered down flavour. If you can get your hands on some seeds and grow a small bushel I think you'd have a very different experience in terms of flavour 👌
The thing about blueberries is there are about a 50/50 chance when you eat one it will be sour so what you need to do is just grab a hand full and shove that in your mouth and the flaver evens out into a nice sweet earthy flavor.
Buy the organic frozen blueberries and pop them for a snack on a hot day 👌🏻 just remember to brush your teeth so you don't turn out looking like ol' Blue-Ray
Dear SplatterCatGaming, I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed before and you left my feed for awhile. This video came up so I immediately subscribed because I love your videos.

You can change your clay soil using gypsum and worms. There may even be other methods, this is just the two I know of. Different clays may make a difference, but check it out.
I couldn't agree more about tool durability in games.
I have an ax, a hammer, and a scythe from the mid 1800's around that work just fine.
Thank you so much for covering this game! I installed it immediately after watching this vid, and completed the demo in about 4 hours. I completely fell in love, and I can't wait for the full release!
How did u get access to the demo? I dont see an option to download on steam, maybe im just stupid tho lol
@@JMonkeyTV Nah it was only for a short period of time, sadly. :(
@@UntilTen ohh i see, thanks for the response
The game has an obvious charm and some nifty mechanics, like the active timing for harvesting and combos in fighting, it adds an agreeable rhythm to those tasks we do so much of in survival games.
Wild blueberries are where it's at. The giant store-bought ones that are pale inside, well. They pale in comparison.
It’s hard to tell whether a blueberry is sweet or tart based on sight. Remember, they’re plants, not soda, so the range of sweetness has a larger margin. To better your chances, you should buy them when they’re in-season.
Gotta get nice ripe in season blueberries, they are wonderful.
Downloading the demo now! Looks awesome!
Splattercat sees a node that is glowing.
Also splattercat: “O.o its glowing, can I touch it? O.o
Aha😹 Don’t look now Splattercat, your geologist is showing. ;)
Omg ! Blueberries are my favorite thing ever, makes me wonder what other favorites I am missing.
Splat, maybe your box was filled with bad ones ? I dont know
'i'm gonna make him into the hero from quest for glory.'
...love it.
also, wild blueberries are fucking awesome, but you're not gonna get good ones at the supermarket. gotta pick them off the bush. also, they're not in season too terribly long.
Blue berries are better served frozen. So good.
OMG! Quest for Glory reference. Me so happy. Splatty is best cat.
I think blueberries in videogames are often meant to be bilberries/european blueberries much more taste and even healthier.
Haven't seen the European variant tbh
Love the art style of this in the dungeons.
This info comes at the demanded behest of my wife: You ate blueberries out of season, go buy some now or go to a farm to pick your own. Out of season they require sugar or other sweeteners to draw out their flavor, but in season they develop that glucose content all on their own. Blueberries are great to be eaten alone, but like most small berries, they need to be eaten raw IN SEASON.
Long story short: Black-Huckleberry are what we call "myrtille" in Europe, often mistranslated by "blueberry" in English speaking country. (B-HB can't be cultivated, in Europe or US)
*
"true" blueberries (for a European) are black/dark_violet in the interior (the juice too, very hard to clean of white clothes!) and the size of a pea or chickpea at best... if you got a berry that is black/violet skinned, grape size, and with white flesh... it is the American cultivated hybrid or even wild (that has no taste compared to the "savage" European one).
PS: After some more researches, i read that "European myrtilles" are not even related to the US blueberries species (they are of another genus). They have a common ancestor in the past, but that is all. It is not at all the same "berry".
@@unlimiteddd pea sized? Lmao u trippin. I live in US and we have fine blueberries. They arent pea sized anywhere unless ur picking them to early. Maybe u should look up a pea. Even in us they arent grape sized. You used a range from pea to grape when a pea is like 10% the size of a grape. A healthy blue berry falls into the middle of this. Way to try and make it a culture divide tho between us and eu lmfao
@@Odyssey636 Hum not tripping at all man! ʕ-ᴥ-ʔ
If you see a "blueberry" that is more than a chickpea size (and flat-ish, ie not almost spherical) it is not a "true/natural blueberry" (or "black huckle berry" for its real US name) for an European. There are mostly the size of a green pea! (and the juice is dark black/violet; if you stained white clothes with, it will almost never go away!). There is a good chance that you have never tasted what i am talking about. (which is what we have plenty in Europe in forest/garden etc...)
The general problem is that the term "myrtille" in Europe is mistakenly translated by "blueberry" in the US. They are not the same at all!
After some more researches, i read that "European myrtilles" are not even related to the US blueberries species (they are of another genus). They have a common ancestor in the past, but that is all. It is not at all the same "berry".
In Europe, we commonly called the US blueberries "fausse myrtilles" ('fake black huckleberries' so) , or commonly "bleuet" or "airelle" to indicate mostly the lack of flavor of them (compared to the "great ones"' lol) They were not heavily commercialized until somewhat 10 years ago because of that for all i know.
Here are what i found & eat in the wild (or garden) in France in my youth :
joshfecteau.com/foraging-wild-fruit-black-huckleberry/
These are what i was talking about! ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ We make jams/jelly out of it, and it is delicious! (but very strong flavored! Even one berry can be too much for some people with its intense flavor! Can be very acidic too if not 100% ripe like a redcurrant or cassis/blackcurrant)
I recently tasted US blueberries for the first time, and i was disappointed by the lack of flavor of it. It is not bad, but incomparable with "myrtilles" (and now with the open market in France that copy US products... even french people that are mostly young city people think "blueberries" are what we call "myrtilles" in the past... a real shame/error! ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ)
I love plain raw blueberries, especially wild ones! They have much more flavor usually than ones from the store.
Splatty you WOULD have a 50 minute ad of an old man jam band named "Sal's Sticky Buds" playing an entire show.
Can't wait for the release for this! Hype! :)
The title explanation sounds like my dream game.
cant wait until this game is available
Yo that load screen artwork was nice. I wish more games would do that, have dedicated artwork or even better have concept art for the load screens as little bonus' to players.
I agree…. It really stands out, just like this game. Looks really good and well put together.
The new battlefield will have a nice and cozy loading screen dlc for only 4,99
@@HappyH4x0r Nice, that'll make it $74.99 saved in total when I don't buy it.
damn you managed to put every word i don't care about in one title i'm impressed
"I'll be honest with you - "
DRINK!
This game is under my radar for a long time, thank you bring it here.
I think durability in a game is fine, if done right-
The same as real life, when you use a tool, say a knife, you have to maintain it. In real life, a kitchen knife has to be resharpened, and depending on the material it may have to be resharpened more often than others. In games- if you can repair and maintain stuff easily enough that it doesn't get in the way, and you don't have Zelda: Breath of the Wild logic where steel breaks if you sneeze too close to it, then I think it can be done well. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion style.
In games, it can work well to help pace out progress. It can stop people just rushing through, but (again, Breath of the Wild) if you have to keep going back to constantly repair without making any progress, it starts to hinder gameplay instead of pace it.
Downloaded the demo and played for a while. I should have set up a bed as it is the save point earlier. When you die, you keep your tools/weapons, but lose all materials/gold.
The refinery is pretty good for getting iron fragments.
wow, these animations are so smooth!
Gotta put the blueberries in the freezer for 20/30 minutes. game changer
Id love to see this game on the Switch
Rather than durability, I wish they add sharpening giving buff to tools improving their use (cut/mine faster) while not having durability requirement. When the tool buff is gone the tools are still useful but its gives intensive to just sharpen tools for the tool buff.
Attacks monster with a pickaxe, has an axe right next to it. "Damn, I need a weapon"
Sometimes watching you is so hard to do.
Also, fresh blueberries suck, you aren't alone. The only time they're worth eating is if you're the one picking them.
If you have clay, start baking bricks and selling them and buy soil and fill those dig sites, and you will have big nice garden :D
I think blueberries are a lot better fresh if you can get them directly from a farmers market or something. The ones at the grocery store tend to get all bruised at the bottom and those ones kinda make the whole experience worse. I agree tho they still are better when cooked or baked into something else
I heard "Quest for Glory" and immediately thumbsed up.
I agree tools in general break too fast in many games, but they should still require maintenance in survival focused games, I think the Tinkers Construct mod for Minecraft handles tool durability well as tools made with stronger stuff generally lasts longer and the mod's tools aren't gone forever when they break, you can repair the tool for less than is required to just make a new tool(I have played games where repairing a tool was more expensive than simply making a new one).
Theres something about your style that makes me want to keep watching even though the disinterest me
Can't tell you how much I agree with the "we need to get rid of tool/weapon health bars" thing. I could understand damage maybe; "your axe has become dull, it requires sharpening", yeah I get that but to just all out "so you've swung your axe 137 times, it will now be deatomized" thing has got to go.
This game is so beautiful because it's legit made by an artist/graphic designer. Flow studios on TH-cam you can check it out, he used to go by the name flow graphics back when he used to teach people like me how to make awesome stuff in Photoshop.
This game looks awesome!
Heresy. Blueberries are delicious, especially the wild ones.
Though, I must admit that I only eat fresh-picked ones, in season.
very promising game right here. i like it a lot.
im new here, and i gotta say ur voice is super calming and ur reviews are awesome! def gonna sub. tysm for the content.
Hey man, great video overall.
Now about the blueberries. You might have not liked them because they were store-bought, those tend to have very watered down flavour.
If you can get your hands on some seeds and grow a small bushel I think you'd have a very different experience in terms of flavour 👌
This actually looks really good
Looks awesome.
Woot! Quest for Glory reference
A good box of firm blueberries will have you eating them until they are all gone in ONE SITTING, they control your mind.
The thing about blueberries is there are about a 50/50 chance when you eat one it will be sour so what you need to do is just grab a hand full and shove that in your mouth and the flaver evens out into a nice sweet earthy flavor.
Indie games rarely disappoint
You clearly havent played many then...
always nice to see your Vids.
I like it that you one of the Guy who be there self and do what you like!!!
Have a nice day.
You should put some blueberries into some yogurt or a nice cold drink. Good game!
This looks like an awesome game! It's def going on my wishlist!
Come to Maine for some wild blueberries. You will realize the error of your ways. Store bought berries are never comparable.
Usually there is no other gameplay elemnts in survival games beside etting food and fixing tools to get more food:D
last time I was this early .... Luna wolves were still hip
Funny story, I am acctually at book 3 of Horus Heresy "Galaxy in Flames" :D
I want this to be Couch Co-op and on the switch 😩🙏
Buy the organic frozen blueberries and pop them for a snack on a hot day 👌🏻 just remember to brush your teeth so you don't turn out looking like ol' Blue-Ray
Dear SplatterCatGaming, I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed before and you left my feed for awhile. This video came up so I immediately subscribed because I love your videos.
I love this game.
Blueberries vary, depends where they're from, some are seedy and horrid others are juicy and nice depends on which country you buy from, check the packet.
What you do with the blueberries is you freeze them right away and then use them for blueberry pancakes.
This game is on point. Looks really cool
Good game.. Auto my next wishlist
depends on the blueberries you bought. Those that grow in my country are sweet and awesome. Also you want the crop before colder weather.
Raw blueberries are super low calories so it makes sense that the flavor isn't on point. Throw a cup into some vanilla Greek yogurt and they are good.
I really like the graphics. soooo good
Yea, I own tools that are well over a hundred years old that still function perfectly.
