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...

End of An Era Or Is It a Saga?

Mar 31, 2023

It has been several days since I last logged in to Star Wars the Old Republic after allowing my subscription to expire at the end of March. For a while now I had been logging in regularly to do a few daily "chores," but not really playing the game. When they announced...

Looking for the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest?

Mar 9, 2023

I ran across the new Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest today quite by happenstance. I had saved my game the night before the first big update (where this item was added) on the far side of the mountain from my base. I was near where I thought I had the right key...

Sons of the Forest Early Tips

Feb 26, 2023

I have over 200 hours in play time in the survival game The Forest, so it should come as no surprise that I've picked up Sons of the Forest even though it is still early access. I got a rocky start in the game, partly because I could not figure out how the heck to...

Still Undecided About Dragonflight

Jan 21, 2023

As the title says, I still haven't made up my mind about long term play in WoW's latest expansion. I have allowed my sub to renew once, and I will probably let it renew again at the end of this month. For a little while it looked like I was done, but then I started...

WRUP December in Screenshots

Dec 23, 2022

A few new game updates this month have kept me cycling between games. Valheim put out Mistlands, and we've been playing on a small friends only server. Rather than start from scratch, we all built up to the point where we'd left off with Plains level gear. I found a...

Cautiously Optimistic about Dragonflight

Nov 28, 2022

Today is the launch of WoW's newest game expansion, Dragonflight. After looking at the changes made by the company, not only to their internal culture and equity, but also to their game philosophy, my hubby and I bought the expansion and played through some of the...

Owning Your Domain and Your Content

Nov 13, 2022

I've mentioned this a few times in a few places, but I really believe that if you are committed to being connected to people through social spaces, you need to start with your own self-hosted website. There is an entire content ownership initiative called the IndieWeb...

When Did Grounded Jump the Shark?

Oct 30, 2022

When I first started playing Grounded, back in early access testing and even early in the full game release, I was having a lot of fun with the game. Being this tiny person, walking on grass stalks, jumping on clover leaves and floating with dandelion tufts was nifty....

Where Will We Feed Our FOMO Next?

Oct 27, 2022

I'm seeing signs of people preparing to leave Twitter again. I suppose we might see the site rapidly sold off again to someone else, but it does look like it is actually changing hands this week. Many of us have made the assumption that this is a bad thing. I'm...
