Long Live the Queen — War and Peace (Turns 161-170)
Since my last turn, war has come, gone, and come again. You can read all about it in the posts linked here. The people of England also found religion. You would think this might temper our warmongering instincts, at least a little. Especially...

Right. Well. I finished my pre-emptory replay of To the Moon. The purpose of that being to look for the best break points in the game for our play-along. But you know what? Even though my memory ended up being correct and Act 1 is roughly half the...

Using Discord — Without Being Overwhelmed
There have been a number of posts recently expressing how difficult it can be to manage or otherwise integrate Discord into common usage without becoming overwhelmed by it all. With no real barriers in creating a Discord server, it is easy to see...

Your Invite To the Moon (Play-Along)
The idea for this struck me some weeks ago now. It had been bubbling away, slowly taking form, as ideas are sometimes wont to do. But now that I’m here — I’m struck by a new problem I hadn’t properly considered. How does one...

Feeling the Fear and Tanking Anyway
In a case of good news / bad news — I can’t really blame my tanking performance on gear any more. Not so much at least. I’ve been incredibly fortunate. I have never been this lucky in gearing a tank before in the entire history...
Read More The Fear of Max Level Tanking
I started my WoW career as a tank. It was what I did all through classic and much of The Burning Crusade through to Cataclysm. I’ve geared several and had to break through that initial barrier of feeling ready for the end-game many times...

Pathfound — to the Skies!
I really, truly, thought… That this would come at earliest tomorrow. When I completed all my Mechagon dailies and quests today I was sitting with roughly 1,400 rep to go before revered. This was inline with expectations and I wouldn’t...

Done with Nazjatar (Foreeveerrrrr!)
Like Krikket, I’ve been working on the Pathfinder achievement set in Battle for Azeroth. Unlike her, I’m not finished yet. But I’m close. Very close. So close I can taste that sweet, sweet tang of low oxygen, high altitude,...

A Day of Impressions and Busted Barriers
I tried three different games today. Three that were new to me, and each utterly different from the others. Two of them I can’t even talk about terribly much yet, though I will tell you what each of the three were. In the early wee hours of...

Blapril 2020 in the Rear View
Alright, not quite in the rear view. We still have until Saturday, and I’ll certainly be aiming to keep up the cadence of daily posts until then. Within the timeframe of Blapril (March 29th through to May 9th) this will be my 39th post. If I...
Read More Around the World in 80 Turns
Maybe not strictly true within the context of the game. After all, while In our Civilisation VI Blogger Succession Game we do in fact have an exploring ship — we haven’t yet settled anywhere off the mainland. But it may be true in a...

Fixing The Comments by Removing ‘Luv
A bit of a short one today. Recently Quietschisto brought to my attention a problem that I am now certain has existed a long time. Probably since very shortly after setting up last year in fact. It was pretty well invisible to me as from my side...
