Time to Loot – Finding fun in loot and adventure

Important note for players: If you missed the Discord chat, we have adjusted the structure of turns! (This is also why I’ve played two missions.) Now, you play the strategy / base portion of your turn first. You play that until you select a...

Lost Ark Won’t Take My Money

by Naithin | Jun 12, 2021 | Lost Ark | 6

Or rather, Amazon Games won’t take my money for Lost Ark. Nor anyone else’s money if they happen to come from New Zealand or Australia.

Bit of a Building Binge

by Naithin | Jun 11, 2021 | Cities: Skylines, Other Games | 2

It happens once in a while that my gaming interests take on a bit of a theme. Not by any sort of conscious decision usually. It happens rather organically. I might on a whim pick something to play, which reminds me of something similar, or triggers...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 11: Blighttown Continued

by Naithin | Jun 9, 2021 | Dark Souls | 2

I say ‘continued’ but a good half of the video is revisiting parts of Blighttown I’d already been to, in order to find the little nooks and crannies I’d missed. I know I didn’t get them all (there were some parts where...

Exodus at an End

by Naithin | Jun 5, 2021 | Other Games | 0

It’s over. Journey’s end, as a player at least, has been reached. Yep. I’ve finished Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition. And phew, what a ride. Without a doubt, a large contributor to my enjoyment was the sheer wonder at the new tech...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 10: Blighttown

by Naithin | Jun 2, 2021 | Dark Souls | 2

Made it through the Depths! Yay! What’s my reward, Dark Souls? Oh- oh. Ohhh. It’s Blighttown. Now, look. Even though I haven’t played Dark Souls 1 this far before, I also haven’t been living under a rock. Or more to the...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2021

by Naithin | May 31, 2021 | Journal | 0

Uh-oh. Time seems to have reasserted its control over the month. That grace period that seems to come at the opening of each year, where time flies by, is showing signs of being at an end. I’m not sure how it is for the rest of the world, but...

Real-time Ray Tracing Might Finally Be Here

by Naithin | May 30, 2021 | Gaming, Other Games | 0

Metro Exodus’ Enhanced Edition has done something new in the realm of triple-A games. They went and released a version of their game that requires a ray-tracing capable graphics card. Although it can be one from either the Nvidia or AMD camp,...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 8 + 9: The Depths

by Naithin | May 27, 2021 | Dark Souls | 0

I almost missed recording on The Capra Demon boss at the start of this run. I’d turned recording on initially, and then died a horrible, horrible death on my first shot at him. It was bad enough that I suspected I’d be here a few goes...

Humble Choice: May 2021

by Naithin | May 22, 2021 | Humble Monthly | 4

I’ve been putting this one off, honestly. In the comments of the April bundle, I said the May bundle would be a decider for me. A decider on whether or not to pull the lever on canceling my Humble Choice subscription. I’ve been getting...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 7: Lower Undead Burg + Return to Undead Asylum

by Naithin | May 16, 2021 | Dark Souls | 5

This time around, I did a little exploring off-camera to work out where I might want to go next. I’d just come from Darkroot Basin and connected the path from down there alllll the way back up to the Undead Burg by way of one newly-dead...

Heroic Sire Denathrius — The Tale of the Dodgy Victory

by Naithin | May 12, 2021 | WoW | 2

Last Thursday, I went over just how close we were to taking this guy down. Of course- I also went and said we would almost certainly get Sire Denathrius down on Sunday (our next raid night). *sigh* We didn’t, of course. I don’t know why...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 6: Moonlight Butterfly + Havel

by Naithin | May 9, 2021 | Dark Souls | 5

Last week, for the first time since starting this experiment, I missed a Dark Souls: Remastered post. I considered doing it as well, but with the XCOM 2 Succession Game kicking off (twice!) I decided that would be enough for one weekend. Especially...
