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...

What Motivates Us – Game Achievements

I've been thinking about what makes me finish games, what makes me play them again, and what makes me leave them to gather dust. I used to feel compelled to at least finish a game I'd started, finish reading a book to the end, or clean my plate. I'd consider myself a...

Blaugust Week 4: The Irony of My Lack of Motivation

Here we are in the week of Blaugust dedicated to motivation, and I have put off writing anything for 5 days. The irony is not lost on me. I hope I'll still get in a second post this week, but just sitting down to write this one has only happened because it is Blaugust...

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

Jul 31, 2023

Welcome to the August blogging madness fondly known (for 10 years now!) as Blaugust. So far this year we have 76 signed up to participate with 32 who are doing Blaugust for the first time. Everyone is welcome to join at any point during the month of August. How often...

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...

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...
