I really should get better at uploading my screenshots to Steam instead of just dumping a bunch of them at a time.

The poor people who see a bunch of my screenshots in one go in their Friend Activity page are probably not amused.

Seems like there will be some big changes to Civilization VII. Although I don't think it will completely salvage the game it could make it at least more interesting to play and hopefully make it feel less repetitive […]

The Overtime dungeons in Atelier Rorona are pretty brutal!

I have been working on equipment and other items but 4 in-game months have already gone by...

I think I will continue working on those for a little longer, see how I do in the dungeons, get whatever end I can get and use that save for […]

I finished Atelier Rorona last night!

Since it was essentially my first time through the game I only got the normal endings as I fumbled a lot through it. It was still very fun!

Now to do the Overtime!

I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.

Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the […]

Dear #bookstodon,

I would like to read adult queer romance. And by ”adult” I don’t mean smut but actual ADULT characters, preferably closer to 50 than 30, and to my danmei peeps: no, immortal cultivation masters don’t count.

(This stems from several reels where people rec romantasy/romance […]

I think I am starting to get the hang of Atelier Rorona.

The first time I tried to play this game I thought I had to make at least one of each item required for the kingdom assignment. Now I realize that I can make only the cheapest/easiest ones and deliver those and worry only about filling […]

Last night I finished the base game of Maneater and started on the DLC.

The base game was very fun but I have mixed feelings about the DLC. The concept is cool and so is the new evolution but the difficult seems to be all over the place. Not too much a fan of time trials either.

In fact I am […]

I am at that point where no specific game appeals to me at the moment. What should I play? Sell me on a good game to try…

Man Eater is a surprisingly good game to relieve some stress.

I don't know how much of it is due to playing as a mutant shark that eats anything that moves and how much is due to the game's dark sense of humor. Probably a mix of both. :blobcatlaugh:

I am having way more fun with this game than […]

For a game that is supposed to be wholesome Atelier Rorona can certainly feel stressful with the time limits.

In any case, I am trying to play this game again after years since my first attempt. Hopefully this time I will actually finish it.

Despite my […]

[Trails to Azure - Ending Spoilers]

I liked the twist at the end where the "dream" that Lloyd had all the way in the beginning of Trails from Zero wasn't a dream but something that actually happened.

All this time I thought it was odd that for such a clairvoyant dream that Estelle and Joshua […]

I just finished Trails to Azure!

I will be honest, back when I started Trails from Zero I wasn't all that much a fan of the new group of characters. I mean, Estelle & Co. left some really big shoes to fill.

But through these two games the SSS grew on me and I can say they are as great as the […]

I should have done this a couple days ago but might as well do it now least my final thoughts become too big of a thread.

Anyway, the twist with Grimwood being the true mastermind felt like it came out of the blue. There were very little clues […]

I finally decided to stop procrastinating and rip my music CDs just so I have more convenient ways to listen to them.

I chose to use Audex for this. It is a stupidly simple program to rip my CDs.

Just pop the CD into the drive, download the cover image from […]

[Trails to Azure - Spoilers up to the end of Fragments]

Some times I hate to be right.

At the end of Trails from Zero I speculated that Dieter Crois would be the villain of Trails to Azure. And turns out I was right!

For a while I really thought it wouldn't be the case since he was doing a […]

Getting over 4000 points for the achievement in Trails to Azure was maddening.

Normally I'd ignore it and move one. But I want to get as many points from the System Records as possible for the inevitable New Game+.

I finally managed to get it but lost count of how many tries it took. Getting […]

The more I see of Lechter the more I feel like punching him in the face.

It isn't even that I think he is necessarily a bad guy even though he works for one. It is more that through his antics it makes it hard for me to figure him out.
