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...

Origin Stories – Books That Shaped Me

Aug 9, 2022

I was actually going to skip posting today, but several authors on Twitter are talking about Book Lover's Day and books that shaped their love of reading, and I had to chime in with at least something. I've been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was young my...

Origin Stories – Past, Present, Future Games

Aug 8, 2022

This week's theme is about introductions and it was fun to go back through my photo folders to find some things to share. Today is about games. When I was young I was a bit of an anomaly, more interested in my brother's Dungeons and Dragons stuff than I was in the...

Wrapping Up Week 1 of Blaugust2022

Aug 7, 2022

With a bit more time on my hands this weekend, I've been able to read and comment on a few more of the Blaugust posts. I still have a lot more to enjoy, but I'm taking my time and probably won't catch up with all of them until sometime in September. You think I'm...

Survival Games on Steam Sale

Aug 6, 2022

There are quite a few survival games on Steam's Survival Fest sale, going for the next two days. If that is your favorite type of game, you probably have many of them already. But it might be worth checking out for some of the newer releases. I'm considering getting V...

And Now for Something Completely… Not Gaming

Aug 5, 2022

If you've read my bio, then you know that I'm part of a medieval recreation group called the SCA and have been for years. So it will come as no big surprise that I like swords. As a fan of TTRPGs and reading fantasy novels, I'm also a fan of sorcery. A couple of...

Joining the Blaugust Discord

Aug 4, 2022

There is an achievement in this year's Blaugust you can earn for joining the dedicated Discord server that Bel set up for Blaugust. Several of the other achievements are wrapped up in participating on the server. Even with this list, I admit I was hesitant to...

I Got Nothin or Dialing it In

Aug 3, 2022

If you find yourself staring a blank page with no words to share or very little time to write (that is me this morning), it doesn't mean you can't get started and then edit your post to flesh it out more later. For some people this means saving it as a draft, but if...

Something to Tweet About

Aug 2, 2022

Good morning from day 2 of Blaugust. I started the day out staring at a blank page, not sure what I was going to write about. Usually when that happens, I head to my screenshots folders to see what shots I have taken in my recent gameplay. I had a few from No Man's...

The Who, What and Why of Blaugust for Me

Aug 1, 2022

Way back in 2011, I started spending more time on Twitter and I began to follow a few people who enjoyed the types of games and books I like. A few of them were bloggers as well and I thought it was a great way to share some screen shots and get some of my enthusiasm...
