Early Tales of Arise Impressions
While it’s true, I ended up scattering many of my plans to the winds, excitement for Tales of Arise carried on through and I’ve been able to spend about 13 hours with it since it came out with the Friday just been. For a JRPG,...

Picking Something to Learn
It’s been a while now — but every so often I get the urge to go learn something new. Sometimes related to my work, sometimes just for fun. My go-to back in the day was Coursera but over the last few years, I seem to have made a switch...

Humble Choice: September 2021
Perhaps I’m being unreasonably hard on PGA Tour 2K21 — maybe this is really your bag and the Sim Golf genre is one you just can’t get enough of. It’s possible. And if so- boy is this a Choice Bundle for you! Maybe? Probably...

Catching up in Destiny 2
The last time I played Destiny 2 would be sometime during the Forsaken expansion. As I write this now though, the Destiny 2: Legendary Edition, which includes the Forsaken, Shadowkeep and Beyond Light expansions is on sale at Humble for less than...

Blaugust 2021 in the Rear View
One of the things I was hoping for with the delay in writing this year’s Blaugust wrap-up was that I might stumble upon some additional insight or understanding, some epiphany or pearl of wisdom I can impart — really? Just something to...

A Blaugust Diversion
Oh boy, it’s all happening right now. I rather intentionally inserted a day’s gap between the end of the posting challenge of Blaugust and this, the next post, to give myself a bit of a break. But now I regret it! I regret everything!...

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2021
Blaugust hasn’t quite come to a close, but the challenge component of it has. For those who either love to write like Bhagpuss or who appreciate looking back at a completed challenge in the rearview like I do, the ‘requirement’ (I...

Quiplash in Lockdown
The New Zealand COVID-19 related lockdown has continued on with daily case counts continuing to rise until just yesterday, with 83 new cases bringing the total then to 511. This was starting to be a bit of a concern. With almost two weeks of a...

Restarting in Tamriel – Another Time
Looks like this year’s go-round is a little later than usual. Last year, and the year before that, I sort of fell into another stab at The Elder Scrolls Online very early in the year. It was starting to look like this year might even pass by...

Aliens Fireteam Elite – Campaign Complete
Let me just say off the bat — I’m so glad my friend group and I picked this one up. It has been a blast. There’s a lot you could nitpick at, to be sure, mostly stemming from the brutal prioritisation and adherence to the...

The Shape of Motivation and Enjoyment
The featured image I chose for this post is from the EXO One Demo, in which the craft you control can shift in shape and function in service to the art of soaring above it all- skimming across clouds when you can but hardening into a ball with...

Do You Ever Just Go into a Game Blind?
It’s not something I’ve done in a while. If anything, I’m the complete opposite and have been a long time. Thinking right back to the days I was on dial-up and downloading a new MMO or game could be a multi-night affair, it became...

102 Minutes with Aliens Fireteam Elite
Aliens Fireteam Elite is one I’ve sort of cast a side-eye over the past months since it entered my awareness. Right from the get-go, it seemed to be wearing its AA budget on its sleeve. Mostly in the arena of animations, from those earlier...

Still Sick
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet — but the COVID swab from last week came back negative, which is good news. New Zealand saw 41 new cases today, bringing us up to 148 total. Still seeing an increase in cases each day for the...

Staying Motivated – 2021
Starting a new endeavour isn’t always easy, sure. But I would think that keeping it going is often the much more difficult part. Certainly that can be the case with Blogging — and if that matches your experience, then welcome! This is...
Read More Scattered to the Wind
Not too long ago, I mentioned that the plans I had been setting for myself, slowly adding layer upon layer, had started to chafe somewhat. It appears to have gone beyond that now and into a fully open flood-gate mode where everything sounds like a...
Read More Developer Appreciation
This week in Blaugust, it is Developer Appreciation Week. While I’m pretty content to wander off the themes, doing my own thing, I also do quite enjoy at least getting one post out for the theme of the week. I’d actually been hoping for...

Would You Rather? — Gaming Edition
Today’s post comes yoinked straight from Krikket, images and all (with permission). In Krikket’s version of this — she answered with the understanding the restrictions would be one at a time, and only for a year. I’m going...

Sleeping in My Chair
Bleurgh. Still haven’t shaken the cold mentioned last Friday. It in fact hit my chest and became an infection. Pretty terrible timing for it, as I had to go to the Doctor’s yesterday — the first day of our lockdown. So of course...
