I'm 42 days into my interloper run and I don't know how much longer I'm going to continue. I have a few more hides curing and then I will have (nearly) the best gear in interloper.

Problem is that it just doesn't help. The weather is too cold and constantly adversarial in ways it's hard to express unless you experience it first hand. Strategies like torch chaining don't work because the wind is always blowing. Using the magnifying glass doesn't work because it's never sunny. When it is sunny the wind is blowing too hard to sustain a flame.

You can't travel anywhere without losing 20% of your health. I know how to work around that but it just makes is so you have to stop and warm up constantly. Traversing maps becomes agonizingly slow.

I think I've proven I actually do have the skill for this mode. I'm not as risk of dying. I don't think I have the patience.
