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...

Playing Game Characters Against My Nature

May 21, 2016

I admit it, in the dark side/light side equation, I'm pretty far into the light side of things by nature. The characters I relate to the most in games, books and movies tend to be heroic and look out for others more than themselves. I think that is why I really like...

Strolling Rakata Prime

May 8, 2016

Today is a screen capture day. Some days I'm willing to re-run content just to take in the views. Rakata Prime is one of those places. I wish we'd had more to do than just one brief visit. I'd love to explore its ship graveyard. Like ruined Taris, there are towering...

Goals, Motivations, and Achievements

May 1, 2016

I'm sure there are studies about this topic but I'm still drinking my coffee and feeling lazy this morning. Maybe I'll find and link some later. For now, I'm just happy to be sticking to my guns about blogging again on a regular basis. I've played my female Sith...

Blogging When the Gaming is Meh

Apr 22, 2016

Hello there you few brave souls who have stuck with me through the *crickets* and sounds of silence my blog has become. I recently realized how much I've missed blogging, so I made a commitment to start writing again. I'm taking an hour a week to see how much I can...

SWTOR Companion Recruitment – A Kindly Old Monster (Dr. Lokin)

Nov 13, 2015

If you haven't played through to the end of chapter 9 in Knights of the Fallen Empire in SWTOR yet, you may want to hold off on reading this. I'll assume that anyone who is reading further is actually working on recruiting new companions for the alliance against the...

Eternity Vault Glitches – Or, Why Is Nothing Ever Simple?!

Sep 26, 2015

With the new optimization settings in SWTOR's latest patch, you'd think all graphics would perform better, right? Not so, as our guild discovered the hard way in a couple of nightmare Eternity Vault runs last night to finish up some achievements. We went in figuring...

SWTOR Light Side, Dark Side and Grey

Aug 19, 2015

In one small way at least, SWTOR has acknowledged a "grey" aligned character that I played as fully neutral. I have a really evil Sith Inquisitor, a laid back nice guy Sith Inquisitor, and now a pragmatic and diplomatic (yet fully willing to shock you into submission)...

Slogging and Trolling and Griefers Cause Anti Nostalgia

Aug 2, 2015

Hubby and I took advantage of a 7 day return to WoW code and have been doing a bit of questing in the old stomping grounds. We finished playing some characters we started out with when we bought the Pandaria expansion. I only got my Shaman to level 87 before my buy...

Do You Want to Blaugust?

Aug 1, 2015

While I am not signed up for the 1-post-every-day-this-month blogging extravaganza that is Blaugust, I would encourage some of you who want a reason to blog more to check it out on Tales of the Aggronaut. As @Belghast says "This contest is all about longevity and...
