Camping with Steve !

So i was sitting by a huge fire i had just lit (peaceful mode of course), and had a real dejavu feeling... like what does this remind me of ? Then it hit me, one of my favorite youtube channels (big channel, almost a million subs), Camping with Steve. All he does is go places in Canada and camp for the nite, sometimes rural, sometimes urban. One of the key features is when he can build and cook on an open fire, throws the dutch oven pot on and just sits staring at the flames as he shoots the breeze... it's soooo relaxing and enjoyable watching that, as the majority of the comments attest to. So sitting by the fire i had just made, really brought that feeling and it was very relaxing indeed. There are 2 things i would change though, 1st is theres no sitting position, obviously not required for the game but it would really add to the feeling of sitting in a camp chair. 2ndly it would be nice to be able to make the night time last longer, or even the option to freeze time at whatever time you would like (dead of nite would be mine). A time slider, as has been asked b4, will be a real help here. So while i may not spend hours in the game in a single session, i can def see myself most nites after work, lighting a fire by a camp, probably with a beer or coffee, and just staring into the flames in their soothing and hypnotic manner (btw the fire itself is top tier for VR standards. I set mine on shores edge so i can enjoy the waves and seagulls as a backdrop... this really is fast becoming my favorite VR game, and its still just early access !

Ahhh yes someone else who watches the channel... i was gonna quote him but without a frame of reference it'd be hard to understand. I've spent awhile now building campfires by the beach, unfortunately the night moves so fast that its hard to really relax by b4 the next day, but it does still give me "Steve" vibes... would you agree ?

Yeah, been watching Steve for awhile. My favorite is the round about...bush episode. There was also an under the bridge episode that gives me a chuckle. The food didn't turn out the way he expected and he ate it anyway, with a smile. Such a trooper. The cheese turned watery.....somehow.

I can see what you mean but it hadn't occurred as I'm too busy trying to get to the next checkpoint. If we were able to set the day/night cycle longer I could see myself giving it the camping with Steve try. Especially if there are natives that we could spy on from concealment.
