Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2022
With the completion of this post, I can call close to the challenge of Blaugust 2022. It will be my 31st post in 31 days. Mission complete! Well… Core mission! This year, we also...

Fourth Time’s the Charm
This year marks my participation in four Blaugust (or Blaugust-variant) events. It feels somehow… wrong… laying it out like that. I don’t stick to things. That isn’t me. Not outside of work, at least....
Steam’s Built-in ‘Make You Feel Old’ Generator
I still have a number of nits to pick with the refreshed Steam Library tools. The big one, or so I thought, was in relation to the filters being ‘AND’ with no option at...
XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game — Mission 32: Operation Failing Altar
As a bit of a recap, Kluwes, UnwiseOwl and I are the final three players of the game. This is more player drop-off than we saw during the Civilisation 6 Succession Game, but perhaps...
Securing a Home Base
In my last few sessions playing X4, I was rather rudely ejected from Terran space where I had a growing sense of familiarity and comfort. You see, after a successful defense of our brand-spanking-new...
Chasing Stats: Part 2
Even I figured I’d get this section written and published perhaps just a few days after Part 1, but things just sort of… kept happening. But here are now! If you need a refresher,...

Gamescom Opening Night
E3- er, no- Gamescom started up today. Google tells me it runs til the 29th (by NZ reckoning). This struck me as something of a surprise, I mean… I know I don’t often pay...
Keep On, Keeping On
Blogging is a hobby that comes with it a multitude of benefits. But it can exact a high price for them. Blogging is one of those hobbies that — especially while you’re getting started...
By Now, You Probably Need a Break
A break from all the space-game (and X4 in particular) talk that is. Perhaps from other things in your life too, but I’m afraid I can only offer you the first. Although I should...
Starting Over
Ugh. As the title suggests, I’ve started over my X4 run. For just one reason: To remove the Universe Expansion mod, X4RSGE (or X4 Realspace Galaxy Expansion). For anyone who may come by in...
Voyage Across the Void
Last night, I went back and forth, frequently, on whether or not I was going to keep the universe expansion I’d installed for X4. More than once, I had escaped to the menu, mouse...
