Gaming Into the End of 2023

My pace of blog posts has certainly slowed toward the end of this year. I've been playing games, just nothing that inspires tips and tricks posts, or exciting experiences to talk about. As we end the year, I thought I'd at least wrap up with a few thoughts about what...

Starfield is Just a Good Not Great Game

Starfield is a pretty good game and one I can enjoy, but it is ONLY a pretty good game. It has missed the mark of being a great game. I came to the realization that they structured the game expecting us to play it again on a New Game plus mode, but I don't think I'll...

Starfield Tip Assigning Crew to Outposts

I'm writing a quick post to provide a tip on how to assign a crew member to an outpost in Starfield. Let's say you recruit a crew member who has the Outpost Management skill, so you build an outpost so she has something to manage. Here is what I had to do in order to...

Oddly Discontented the Starfield Edition

I took a walk around the first nice city we get to in Starfield last night. It is quite pretty at night and it was a peaceful walk. I talked to a few people, did some shopping, looked around the Lodge and then I just signed out of the game... I stared at my library...

Looking Forward Beyond Blaugust

Today I am using one of the Blaugust prompts to not only plan ahead for my blog writing, but to talk about an upcoming game. The prompt is "What are you looking forward to the most over the course of the next year?" I have a hard time coming up with "the most" for any...

Wrapping up Blaugust 2023 With Lessons Learned and Achievements

The final week of Blaugust is reserved for talking about lessons learned - a week that acts as a bit of a cool down so that we can share our own experiences with this year's blogging. While I haven't earned every achievement on the list, I'm happy that I met my...

Blaugust 2023 Week 3: The Creators of Community

Aug 14, 2023

Week 3 of Blaugust is creative appreciation week. There are so many ways to define who and what to appreciate during a week like this one, and yet it is one of the hardest weeks for many of us to do. Who do we shine the spotlight on? Is it fellow bloggers, game...

Getting Weepy, in a Good Way

Aug 11, 2023

I am not ashamed to admit that a good book, show, or game can make me absolutely bawl. In fact, I LOVE that they can make such a profound emotional connection with me. When I first read Guy Gavriel Kay's final book of the Fionavar Tapestry series, the Darkest Road,...

Blaugust2023 Week 2: Getting to Know GamerLadyP

Aug 7, 2023

Welcome to week 2 of Blaugust 2023. So far I am on track for my goal this year, which is to post at least twice a week during the festival. I've also managed to read and comment on several posts for our other participants. As of this morning's update from Belghast, we...

The Best Laid Plans (don’t stand up to beta releases)

Aug 2, 2023

I had planned to share some initial impressions about the closed beta for Palia in today's post. However, I insist on playing a game for a few hours before I start sharing my impressions. They've had a fairly big issue to resolve with player housing plots, and have...

Games Backlog Update: Finally Playing New World

Aug 1, 2023

I had a little break after I finished up Solasta's main game and before Palia beta and Baldur's Gate 3, so I decided to give New World another shot. I was originally not very impressed with New World. I played the early access beta and was frustrated with the...

Blaugust 2023 Welcomes New and Old

Saving the list of 2022 Blaugustians

Jul 28, 2023

Blaugust 2022 Blogroll Instead of just replacing my blogroll with the latest year, I thought that this year I would keep the list to refer back to later. Enjoy some very active and great bloggers, many of whom come back each year. If you would like the details...

More Game Backlog Thoughts

Jul 18, 2023

Time flies, right? I had been trying to post at least monthly but May and June just slipped through my fingers. During that time I finished playing Cyberpunk 2077 and really enjoyed it. I will eventually go back and play through different endings and will most likely...

Getting Into My Game Library Backlog Starting With Cyberpunk 2077

Apr 27, 2023

It feels a bit weird to say/admit, but I'm not paying a monthly sub for any MMO right now. It has been a while since I could say that. While I have occasional bouts of FOMO, it gets easier each day to just put those games aside. It helps that I have a pretty big...
