Time to Loot Journal: September 2021
September had the same number of days in it as any other month. More or less. But to me, it feels a lifetime ago. I barely remember the beginning of the month or writing the last journal at the end of the last. We’ve been in a stay-at-home...

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...

Time to Loot Journal: July 2021
This month I restarted my Final Fantasy XIV journey in earnest and discovered just how remarkably close I was to the turning point in the story. If I had just pushed even a little bit harder when I was last playing, I would’ve been through...

Time to Loot Journal: June 2021
Half the year is over already. Crazy. Meanwhile, at work we wrap-up one financial year and begin the kick-off activities for the next. Booooriiiiing. (Well no, it isn’t- but probably would be for you.) Around here, for the blog, I made some...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2021
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...

Time to Loot Journal: April 2021
You know, April felt like a pretty good month. No singular overriding reason- just a general sense of contentment, capped off with the discovery the other day that there are some pretty talented piano players out there. No really- it’s true....

Time to Loot Journal: March 2021
Another month has flown by. Before we know it, we’re going to be looking down the barrel of another year done. Yay Christmas! Although perhaps I am getting a little ahead of myself given the beginning of the year always seems to move faster...

Time to Loot Journal: February 2021
I spent a good portion of this month unwell, unfortunately. Strep throat straight into a bout of Bronchitis, so I spent a lot of time at home feeling decidedly sorry for myself. At the very least, doing better now. The cough will persist for a...

Time to Loot Journal: January 2021
This month, the WoW train slowed down but hasn’t quite yet rolled into station. The engines are cooled, with the pressure lowering. No more is there an insane drive to spend every moment available for gaming in WoW. But for all that- and...

Time to Loot Journal: December 2020
While undoubtedly we all know on an intellectual level that no arbitrary switch in date will bring with it immediate change for the better, there still seems to be a feeling of symbolic importance to the changing of the year. The ability to put the...

Time to Loot Journal: November 2020 (Five Game Challenge Day 30)
The stitches came out of my thumb earlier this evening. Just down to a more moderate looking wrap on it now too, so things are on the up and up I reckon- looking less like a mummy each day. Then tomorrow — fingers crossed; as this is by no...

Time to Loot Journal: October 2020
What a month! Between wife breaking her ankle and the new PC developing a distaste for my 3080 and requiring an RMA, on top of all the usual business at home and work, it’s been quite the busy one. Not much of an update on my wife’s...

Time to Loot Journal: September 2020
It’s hard to believe we’re so far through the year. Just three months remain before we flip 2020 the bird and put it firmly in the rear view. Yet as hard as it is to conceive of how little of 2020 remains… It’s also been...

Time to Loot Journal: August 2020
Whoa– Lookee dere! That there featured image is something other than a Cities: Skylines screenshot for the first time in… *checks* …a while! It’s breaking a four-month stretch of Cities. It’s from Control which...

Time to Loot Journal: July 2020
July is over. August is here! Normally — it would be the time of Blaugust. And it still is, in a manner of speaking, but we also did classic Blaugust earlier in the year as Blapril. So rather than a repeat, Blaugust this year is a...

Time to Loot Journal: June 2020
I just took a quick scan through my previous Journal-style posts, and it would appear this is the first time I’ve posted one on the 2nd of the month. Previously it has always been on either the final day of the month or the first day of the...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2020
New Zealand has seen at least the promise of a return to normalcy this month. We’ve run a consecutive streak of 9 days with no new cases. There is in fact only 1 active known case in the country. While there is still an acknowledgement that...

Time to Loot Journal: Blapril 2020
While not something I’m going to dwell on — I think I will at least acknowledge that the COVID-19 lockdown is finally getting to me. Not in any serious, major ways. Rather just I note that my motivation levels are down, with each day...

Time to Loot Journal: March 2020
What a month. It feels like over the course of March, the entire landscape and texture of the world has changed. It wasn’t all that long ago that the whole COVID-19 situation started to feel a little more real to me. Fast forward a mere four...

Time to Loot Journal: February 2020
A leap year post! The next time I get to do one of these, this blog will be five years old. Crazy. I’d like to believe that Time to Loot will be alive and well at that point, but imagining that far into the future seems nigh impossible. Even...
