The Japanese's view on the US is so cringe sometimes. Playing Persona 5 and the game creators seemed to think a plane bound for LA can go to Hawaii as an alternative landing spot. That'd be 6-7 hours worth of detour. 🤦

Every year TT does some great stats on your PSN trophy list. Here's mine and be in awe.

The latest Settlers game from Ubisoft, Settlers: New Allies, is a pretty bad game. It has some charm and the fundamentals are there but that's it. The game is just that. The levels are simple and the trophies, oh my, they are awful. Plat is frankly unobtainable. Glad I got it for free from Plus.

Picked up Steamworld Build on sale the other day and it's a fun city builder. There are flaws and some awkward design choices but overall this is a fun one. And the performance is good.

Finished writing chapter 1 of If Only For A Moment after about two hours of hard editing. Really happy with how it turned out and ready for the next chapter to come!

I read the comments section in Masha Gessen's excellent op-ed in the NYTimes, because I love pain, and this stood out to me:

"A transgender male has no clue how much trauma women can have around males when the women are in a space that involves nudity."

Dear idiot, transman are raped too.

And for anyone wanting to know my PSN username and trophies, here you go.

I have the HARDEST time finishing games. I have been at the doors of each game's Mt Doom and turned away only to start a new adventure in another land.

Games I'm posed to beat:
-Kingdoms of Amalur
-Horizon Zero Dawn
-Batman Arkham Asylum and City
-Kingdom Come: Deliverance

What is wrong with me?

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Coming up on page 10, or roughly 4.5k words, of my latest fic, a BG3 one-shot between Shadowheart and Tav that may grow into work 2 and 3 and 4....

Still thinking about my previous Horizon work that needs some love as well. But, overall, excited to be posting some work after almost a year!

Some things I enjoy, in no particular order, & looking for like minds.

-Baldur's Gate 3
-Horizon series
-Mass Effect/Dragon Age
-Game collecting and hoarding (mostly on PSN)
-Writing fanfic (almost exclusively wlw)
-Reading (former library staffer)
-LGBT rights
-History, swords, computers

The console edition of Crusader Kings 3 received an update today and the beginnings of Chapter 2: Tours and Tournaments. Dragon's Lake has done such a phenomenal job making CK3 better for all consoles that it's nothing shy of a miracle! Happy to support their work now.

About me? In the unfanciest of posts, here's what I'm up to recently:

-Baldur's Gate 3
-Writing fanfic about BG3
-Fourth playthrough of Horizon
-Getting back to fic writing for Forbidden West
-Crusader Kings 3 on console new update
-Reading Shogun

Maybe more to follow?
