Update: Life and Books (Mar 2026)

I know it's Easter, but I'm not doing anything to celebrate, so here I am with a blog post! (Well, blog posts are written before they're posted anyway, it's not like I'm typing this as you're reading it, but. You get it.) My big news this month is that I watched Heated Rivalry Season 1! I subscribed to HBO Max for a month with the plan to watch Heated Rivalry one time and Our Flag Means Death...

Update: Life and Books (Feb 2026)

I'm sorry everyone that I did not post anything in the past month. My blog was having issues, so I've been turning plugins off and on, installing new ones, testing things, and I didn't want new posts to add another variable. Anyway, I think the problem was bots, but I'm still working my way through plugins in case. I've finally taken the maintenance banner down, as long as things keep working,...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2026)

Good work everyone, we've made it through another month! To be honest, I don't even know what I did in January. Survived? I played some Palia, but even that has slowed up. I tried playing Sable, but I think I'm giving up because the movement is too slow and clunky for me, making the exploration not fun. Technically I think this was in February, but I also played a bit of Rollercoaster Tycoon,...

Update: Life and Books (Dec 2025)

I think the first update post of the new year is always the most difficult for me to write because the socially acceptable thing to do is to say, "Happy New Year!" and be excited about a new beginning. But, even though that would be easy enough to do, it would feel disingenuous. I have health problems that are getting more imminent and, to summarize it very succinctly, my whole situation is bad....

Update: Life and Books (Nov 2025)

Yes, I'm doing my monthly update like two weeks late, on a Thursday. It is what it is! Would've felt weirder to not do one at all. I don't have much to report though. I've just been surviving and, shockingly, taking a break from Baldur's Gate 3 and playing Palia instead. Also shockingly, it turns out Palia doesn't give me motion sickness, so I've actually been able to play it. It is harder on my...

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...
