Update: Life and Books (Dec 2024)

Happy new year, I guess? For me it's just new year, same problems. But this post is about 2024 still! Not that I have much to say. I didn't do anything for the holidays, so I had a standard month. Worried about health things that there just is no solution for. At least, not with this country and the healthcare system and my living situation being what it is. I made some art though! Nothing...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2024 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2024 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

This list is maybe a little different than usual because it only has six new books, and the other four are rereads. Turns out I did more rereading this year than I thought! But I feel like any book good enough to make me love it multiple times deserves to be praised multiple times, and these were my genuine ten favorite books this year. So without further ado, here they are, plus a few...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2024

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2024

I wasn't going to do a top ten characters post this year, but then I remembered it would be a great excuse to talk about Gale from Baldur's Gate 3... So I'm doing a top ten characters post! I only have seven, it's just easier to keep the title and picture consistent each year. Also I'm going to be a bit lazy and copy+paste quotes from my reviews for some of the character descriptions. Work...
 
Game Reviews: 3 Free, Weird, Slightly Disturbing Games to Try… If You Dare – The Man Man // RUN! // With Bodies They Walk

Game Reviews: 3 Free, Weird, Slightly Disturbing Games to Try… If You Dare – The Man Man // RUN! // With Bodies They Walk

Ok, so the title is a little dramatic, I just wanted to spice it up a bit. I love weird little games. I've probably said that before, and I'll probably say it again! There's just something about finding some weird little free thing, and it's not a big commitment, it's just a few minutes or a few hours of your life, and it's fun and charming in its own strange way. I played these games years...

Game Reviews: 3 Unique Puzzle Games to Try – Storyteller // Scribblenauts // Hue

It's been a while since I've reviewed any games, because I've pretty much been playing one game for about seven months now. (Wow, I didn't even realize it's been that long!) But I have a list of a whole bunch of games I always meant to post reviews for. So here are some of those reviews, three games that have some really creative and interesting puzzle solving...

Update: Life and Books (June 2024)

Another month of nothing. Just being tired and having all the usual aches and pains and worrying about things. But when I wasn't doing that (or rather, while I was doing that, since I'm always doing that) I was playing more Baldur's Gate 3. I would say I'm sorry that's all I've talked about for like six months, but I'm not. It's just so good. Here's a picture of Wyll trying to convince a guard to...

Update: Life and Books (May 2024) – AKA That Month When I Share Fun Facts about Sea Creatures

So I fell behind on blogging a bit in May. I was feeling more rundown than usual and just wasn't up to making blog posts. When I was feeling well enough to do stuff and focus, I was---big surprise---playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm on my sixth playthrough and still having fun, finding new things, falling more and more in love with all the characters. It has also become more and more of a dress-up...

Update: Life and Books (Apr 2024)

Well, I'm back to having no real news to share this month. But that's not a bad thing. It's better than having bad news. I just spent another month using my free time to play Baldur's Gate 3. I really can't express how great this game is and how much I love it. I have now played five times (with a different romance and class each time), but I still don't want to stop. Anyway, here are some posts...
 
Gamer Musings: A Compilation of Tumblr Posts about My Baldur’s Gate 3 Shenanigans

Gamer Musings: A Compilation of Tumblr Posts about My Baldur’s Gate 3 Shenanigans

Since I know a lot of my blog visitors don't use or follow me in other places, I like to occasionally make compilation posts like this. I've done it for The Sims and Project Zomboid, so now Baldur's Gate 3 gets a turn! I've been using Tumblr a lot lately, so that's where these are from. Sorry if I went overboard 😅 I talk about this game a lot, so I tried to pick the ones that I thought...

Update: Life and Books (Mar 2024) – Peacocks, Punching Books, and My Reading Mojo is Back!

Guess what, everyone! I have something cool to share this time that isn't about games! It's peacocks! Well peacock. I heard a weird noise outside, so I opened my curtains and found this! Wild peafowl have lived around here for a long time. I saw some in front of the house once, like five years ago. But having one just outside my window with tail feathers all spread and everything was genuinely...
