Urge to Game Rising
I said when I kicked off this semi-hiatus that I hadn’t lost my interest in the pastime of gaming. While generally true, it certainly hasn’t been in evidence for a while. On the Mum front — we managed to convince…

Time to Loot Journal: April 2022
You know, even with my semi-hiatus, I did fully expect to get perhaps one or two more posts done this month between then and now. The energy tank has just been run dry though, and so they never happened. I…
Time to Loot Journal: March 2022
I’m not even sure where to start this journal but a full quarter of the year has already been and gone. *shakes head* Madness. Time has been flying by. The Oscars happened. Not a fact I would normally note or…

“Poking My Nose In”
Last night… something happened. Something grand, and glorious… but all too fleeting. The hour was late, and a long session with Lost Ark was coming to a close. One by one, friends were drifting away to sleep, until eventually, it…
The Trouble with Time
There isn’t enough of it. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. More specifically, the issue this time is the fact that the time between Lost Ark and Elden Ring’s release dates is simply too short. This is something…
Waiting for Lift-Off
The holidays are here! THEY ARE HERE! The final day of work for the year ended yesterday. So far, there is been a bit of an expectation vs. reality gap. I expected to be playing games 24/7! ALL THE GAMES!…
