Who else here has died of dysentery?

2 days ago I woke up at 4am with diahorrea and squirted a bit in my undies on the way to the toilet.

Didn't die though.

What's the "definitive version" of this game? Download I think the Golden Edition but beat it on my first try, so it obviously can't be the best one...

Wedge a piece of TP into your ass crack. It'll help prevent leakage if you shart or have an accident.

Oregon Trail is easy. Rest every time anyone gets injured or sick until full health. The game makes you think that time is a factor or that the winter needs to be avoided, but it doesn't. Even in the winter in bad hunting lands, there's plenty of food year round. Just take it slow, never ford the river, and you'll survive with everyone intact 100% of the time.

My father is very sick and we are resting here until he gets better. We have
been pushing too hard and our health has suffered. When my father is able to
travel again, we will go at a slower pace.

Goodbye Platte River! Goodbye sand hills and white buffalo skulls! Now we
climb the Sweetwater valley to cross the Continental Divide at South Pass.
Once across the Rockies, we'll make a steep descent into the Green River
valley.

The game is still plentiful along here, but gettin' harder to find. With so
many overlanders, I don't expect it to last more'n a few years. Folks shoot
the game for sport, take a small piece, and let the rest rot in the sun.

The Pawnee are the mortal enemies of the Sioux. I would not hesitate to kill
any Pawnee I met. But I have never killed a white man. All I ask from the
white man is to leave me alone, and to leave my buffalo alone.

One child drowned in a swollen creek east of Fort Laramie. My husband died of
typhoid near Independence Rock. Now I travel alone with my five children.
The eldest, Caleb, is eleven. I fear he'll be a man before we reach Oregon.

My, the Soda Springs are so pretty! Seem to spout at regular intervals. Felt
good to just rest and not be jostled in the wagon all day. When I get to
Oregon, I'll have a soft feather bed and never sleep in a wagon again!

Some autistic guy on Twitter made a 30 tweet-long thread about how "You have died of dysentery" is not accurate at all.

It says right here in the Shively guidebook: "You must hire an Indian to pilot
you at the crossings of the Snake river, it being dangerous if not perfectly
understood." But my husband insists on crossing without a guide!

The traders at the fort over yonder told us a strange story. According to
legend, they say, anyone who makes camp at the base of Chimney Rock will be
taken up to the stars and "made right" as they put it. I... want to go...

You ask about the Whitman massacre. I ask you why Doctor Whitman's medicine
did not cure my people's children? Many caught the measles from the
strangers. Why did the medicine poison our children and cure the children of
white people?

You'll not get yer wagon over them Blue Mountains, mister. Leave it! Cross

Actually, it wasn't like that. It's more about the text itself. Here it is:

I would play a version of OT tweaked to be hard as balls. I agree about the hunting, it trivializes food because it's so easy.

Sorry, how else would you have liked the OP to start an Oregon Trail thread? From your post I gather that some pop culture normalfag television show that you pretend to hate has made the same reference about the game that people have been making since the eighties, but what would you like anyone here to do about that?

How can the collective anonymous userbase of 4chan post in such a manner as to allow you to feel comfortable here without tacitly reminding you that you are, in fact, a normalfag that doesn't belong here in the first place?
