Update: Life and Books (Oct 2025)

I know I don't really talk about the "life" part of "Life and Books" anymore, but, well. Today is not the day I'm going to change that, so let me tell you instead about the games I played (or attempted to play)! Much to no one's surprised, I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm currently close to wrapping up an all druids run, which has been very fun. Druids are so strong in combat (in this...

Update: Life and Books (Sep 2025)

I'm a little late with this post because I've been worried and stressed and tired and just forgot last weekend. But I'm here now! So what have I done since my last update... I started listening to a new (to me) podcast called Midnight Burger. It's about a diner that travels through time and space. I watched Galavant on Hulu. It was fun! Made me laugh. From what I understand, it was supposed...

Update: Life and Books (Aug 2025)

As usual, I don't have any good life stuff to talk about, so let's see, what else do I have... I played something other than BG3 (a rare occurrence nowadays), a little game called Lovingly Evil. I already reviewed it, so you can check that out if you're interested. Tbh, some things didn't quite work for me, but the two romances I did were cute. I've been watching Rapunzel's Tangled...

Update: Life and Books (July 2025)

Ok, let's see. What happened in July that's actually worth talking about? I missed my blogiversary! My ten year blogiversary! So I will do a post for that this month, maybe next weekend. I watched Strange World, the Disney/Pixar/whatever movie. I liked it! I loved the visuals of the whole, well, strange world. And it was a cute story. Still playing BG3, though honestly, even that has...

Update: Life and Books (June 2025)

Another month without much non-bookish stuff to talk about. Still playing Baldur's Gate 3, believe it or not, when I feel up to it and need a break from doom and gloom. I also played Blood Bar Tycoon, which I actually reviewed! First proper game review in a while. Here, have some pictures... I also stubbed my pinky...

Update: Life and Books (May 2025) + Mermay Art!

This was my worst reading and blogging month in a long time. I only read three books and made two posts. I didn't even do a discussion post, even though I'd wanted to do at least one of those each month. I've just been trying to figure out how to fix some of the problems in my life, trying to get help I need, etc., but I still have nothing to show for it except more exhaustion and probably liver...

Update: Life and Books (Apr 2025)

I'm a little late getting this posted because I kept putting it off and off and then got distracted today. But it's here now! No improvements to my personal life, but I have a few other things I can talk about. I've tried listening to numerous fantasy RPG podcasts but, aside from Dungeons & Daddies, they never end up keeping my attention. I think I finally found another one though! It's...

Update: Life and Books (Mar 2025)

I'm gonna be honest, things aren't going great for me right now. I try not to get too down on my blog because over time I've shifted into being less personal about my life and more semi-professional and focused on books and whatever else. Especially when my personal stuff is so complicated and depressing. But ultimately I am not a company churning out content, I'm a person. (A person who might...

Update: Life and Books (Feb 2025)

I didn't do much of anything this month, but I guess I can scrounge up a few things to talk about. I watched Onward, the Pixar(?) movie. It made me cry! I feel like I've never seen anyone talk about this movie? I don't remember seeing previews or anything. I had no idea it even existed. But it was so touching and sweet. A very cute brother relationship. Also, for anyone who's seen it (has...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2025)

I've decided I'm going to focus on positive things for this month's update. So first I have some art! I made fanart for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. It started in December 2023 when someone posted on Reddit like, "I've never played, but this subreddit keeps showing up on my feed. Ask me about the game, and I'll pretend I know." Someone asked who Noctilucent should end up with, the person answered...
