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...

Little Annoying Things That Add Up – The No Man’s Sky Edition

Sep 10, 2022

After about 230 hours of playing No Man's Sky, I think I may be done with the game. While I admire the developers for their dedication and for putting out content updates so regularly, this is one game where you pretty quickly come to realize that you are playing the...

Blaugust 2022 Wrap up Week – Lessons Learned

Aug 30, 2022

Considering how much I've put off writing this post, I think my number one lesson learned is that I don't like evaluating my experiences or deciding what lessons I have learned. Regardless, there are a few things I can take away from my participation in Blaugust...

Lack of Motivation to Play

Aug 26, 2022

In this week of discussing motivation, I want to talk a little bit about being de-motivated. I read an article today on Massively OP talking about how Blizzard can't really control the factors that might draw past dedicated WoW raiders back into the game. I'm...

Staying Motivated Going Into Blaugust2022 Week 4

Aug 22, 2022

Blaugust Week 4 is here, and I haven't posted every day, in fact, once I decided not to post every day, my frequency has dropped off quite a bit. I still want to stay motivated to participate and write, but I've set more realistic goals going into the final stretch of...

More About Music – VAs With Amazing Singing Voices

Aug 17, 2022

Today I'm going to write a bit about Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, the Daughter of the Sea, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical which was originally called Chorus when I backed it on Fig. Backing Summerfall Studios and their RP musical was a no brainer for me,...

Creative Appreciation Week – Blaugust 2022 Week 3

Welcome to week 3 of Blaugust 2022. For this week's writing prompt, which gains us the Creative Appreciation Blaugchievement, I'm talking about game music, and specifically about a podcast that celebrates it called Battle Bards. Creative Appreciation – This one...

Popular Games I Can’t Finish – It’s not you, it’s me

Aug 12, 2022

There are quite a few games in my various game service libraries that I've never finished. Even more that I own but haven't installed yet, but that's a whole other problem. Today I'm going to talk about games that I started to play but never finished. Many of these...

Backdating and Scheduling Posts in WordPress

Aug 11, 2022

I was going to leave a few gaps in my Blaugust posts because there will be days when I can't post. However, I don't HAVE to do that thanks to a lovely little feature in WordPress that allows you to set a specific publish date on your posts. Today is the 14th, I have...

Sad Abandoned Blogs – The 8bitkitchen Edition

Aug 10, 2022

As I've read several of the bios and about pages of other Blaugust participants, I've noticed that quite a few of us have dabbled in more than one blog. I thought I'd share one of my favorite, though sadly abandoned, past collaborative efforts. A little blast...
