Time to Loot – Page 2 of 41 – Finding fun in loot and adventure

And I am nowhere near ready. I just had a look at what goals I’d set myself for the month and hoo-boy. I guess I can say right now though that the finish Control goal simply isn’t happening. Not without my 3080. I had specifically set...

Changes at Home

by Naithin | Oct 23, 2020 | Other | 2

A week since the last post. A post in which, I took on a challenge for myself which involves attempting to post every day for the month of November. … Hm. That probably doesn’t bode well. But there are reasons beyond a simple lack of...

Five Game Challenge – November 2020 Event

by Naithin | Oct 15, 2020 | Gaming | 4

‘Event’ might be a little grandiose. It might just be me. But! I would at least like to try and extend the offer for others like yourself to join, should you be so inclined. “Join what?” Well, there’s two key parts and...

Five Game Challenge – 2020

by Naithin | Oct 14, 2020 | Gaming, Other Games, Skyrim, Warframe, WoW | 0

Last year, I put myself through a bit of a challenge. A Five Game Challenge. You might’ve already gathered that though from the title, even if you weren’t here at the time. Though if you weren’t, possibly the finer points of...

Damnit… RMA Required on my RTX 3080

by Naithin | Oct 8, 2020 | Other | 4

Taking on initial release iterations of hardware in a new generation is always a gamble. In this case, it’s a gamble I lost. After securing one of the apparently very few actually available RTX 3080 cards on launch day for my new PC build...

Humble Choice: October 2020

by Naithin | Oct 3, 2020 | Humble Monthly, Other Games | 5

The last two months have had it such that classic and top tier subscribers for ‘this month only’ received all twelve titles rather than having to select ten or nine respectively. So who knows how long ‘this month only’ will...

Time to Loot Journal: September 2020

by Naithin | Oct 2, 2020 | Journal, Other Games | 2

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...

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Delayed

by Naithin | Oct 2, 2020 | WoW | 2

I’m trying to work out whether I’m actually surprised or not. On balance, I think I still am. I read through Kaylriene’s thoughts on announcing changes to the Covenant system with a mere 30-days to go a few days ago and I expected...

Long Live the Queen – Dream of Mars (Turns 321-330)

by Naithin | Sep 27, 2020 | Civilisation | 0

Right! *Cracks knuckles* Since it was last my turn, I’ve switched to a new PC and so redownloaded and setup Civilisation VI again. I’m sure I’ll find the odd default setting against my preference I’ll need to change as I go,...

Sand Worms Are All the Rage at the Moment

by Naithin | Sep 24, 2020 | No Man's Sky | 0

First the Dune trailer. Now in a No Man’s Sky update: Origins. I heard that the Origins update was coming last week, but Hello Games were still being rather tight-lipped on what exactly it would entail. I was not entirely clear on whether it...

New PC Build!

by Naithin | Sep 21, 2020 | Gaming, Other | 9

I started a new post-draft a few days ago titled, ‘In a Holding Pattern’. It was going to talk to the fact that since making the firm decision to upgrade my PC I was starting to feel that detached drift from any activities on this PC...

The Avengers

by Naithin | Sep 15, 2020 | Other Games | 5

So I’ve been playing Marvel’s Avengers. Which is not something I planned on. I have no major philosophical objections to games launching intentionally as a service. As always, the devil is in the details and for all the complaint of...

Upgrade Time Ahoy!

by Naithin | Sep 12, 2020 | Other | 7

There is a lot of exciting stuff happening in the PC hardware arena right now. Not just the normal level of stuff either, I don’t think. Sure- it is easy enough to say that there is ALWAYS some upgrade-or-another right on the horizon and be...

Humble Choice: September 2020

by Naithin | Sep 6, 2020 | Humble Monthly, Other Games | 5

It really is a matter of perspective, these bundles. Well- I guess most things are. But these bundles in particular. Or even if not, they’re what we’re focusing on right now. Magi quites like this month’s set. I’m less...
