  I just learned that River, Dogmeat's real life character actor has passed on. I took this screenshot recently because I thought it was so cute. She added so much to the game. My current character has made Red Rocket his home base because that's where he found Dogmeat and along with two robots, she's guarding his prized possessions. My sympathies to Joel Burgess, River's owner and companion.

  This is what happens when you have no science skills. I have been investing more in combat skills but it's impossible to avoid settlement building altogether.

Moose are a bit of a joke in RDR2 because they are a rare spawn for some players. They haven't been for me but something usually goes wrong. The pelt will be poor quality, the moose escapes or I crash into it with an elite Arabian. Recently one became obscured from view by a sudden very dense fog rolling in.

I couldn't even remember what I wanted it for so badly. The trapper catalogue reminded me that I needed the pelt to craft the Legendary Pronghorn coat which is not even legitimately obtainable until the g...

 I rage quit. It took a long time to get to this point but I am frequently distracted by games on the PS4 and sports on the television. The sad part is I am right at end game. I knew that the finale would be especially difficult but I guess it was just one infuriating battle/puzzle combo too many and I still had a number of big bads to go.
