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...
Blood Bar Tycoon is a simple and silly bar management sim in which you run bars that cater to both humans and vampires. Build, decorate, order supplies, capture humans, kill investigators---you know, the usual bar management...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
