Looking Back on Gaming — 2022 Edition
2022 hasn’t been my favourite year of all time. Truth be told, it was a bit of a tough one. If I had been left to guess — I would have supposed that I’d spent far, far, less time gaming…

Time to Loot Journal: December 2022
You may have noticed, but I’ve been in a blogging slump of late. Perhaps more accurate to say just a ‘slump’ in general. I think with the holidays finally landing it has become a time of letting go, at least…
‘Hell Let Loose’ Early Impressions
Hmm. Well. I’m running somewhat late with this one. It’s my early impressions piece (in case the title didn’t give that away) for Hell Let Loose (you also might’ve picked that one up), as it is part of this month’s…
Time to Loot Journal: October 2022
October is over. I can scarcely believe we’re already in November. It’s now only a matter of weeks until our company turns out the lights, shuts the door and tells everyone to disappear for a few weeks. Some people object…
Deathloop Early Impressions
Depending on your reviewer of choice, when Deathloop came out you would’ve either had a rather positive or a rather ‘meh’ view of the game before putting hands on it yourself. While the major commercial outlets were exceptionally positive, for…
Time to Loot Journal: September 2022
The back half of September saw very little gaming going on. For me at least; I can’t speak for you. But I’ve gone from Blurgelflurgal a few days ago back into a pretty heavy gaming swing now. It’s only been…
Descenders Early Impressions
The Descenders is a Mountain Biking-themed rogue-lite. No really! It is. I almost went as far as to say rogue-like, because there isn’t really much you unlock that helps you on subsequent runs. All the ‘stuff’ you get is cosmetic.…
Blaugust 2022 in the Rear View
Normally, this post would be my time to reflect back on my Blaugust experience. How did I find it? What did I learn? That kind of thing. But… I’ve already done that. There was an achievement, you see. So… I…
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 had Blaugchievements. I think going over…
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. None of my prior blogs made…
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 all for an ‘OR’ filter. This…
