Just a Little Nod to Blaugust 2025

It is Blaugust time, the August festival of blogging. This initiative was started many years ago by Belghast. For 2025, it is up and running again thanks to a wonderful community of bloggers who stepped up to help out. You can read a bit about the change in organizers...

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

Time Keeps on Slipping...It is a bit shocking to realize that I didn't blog at all in 2024. How did I let an entire year go by without writing anything at all?! Life Goes OnHave a cute dog pic as an apology No, I didn't spend my year curled up on a blanket, although...

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...

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...

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...
