2024 Book Releases I’m Most Starry-Eyed Over

2024 Book Releases I’m Most Starry-Eyed Over

Oh hello there! It has been a while. I’ve not had the spoons to write much at all these past few months and so to preserve what little energy I have, I let myself leave the blog ticking along. However, I’m having a bit of a reading renaissance this year, it seems, and I’m just so excited about so many books I thought it would be nice to share some of that excitement. As such, here are all of the…

Trek to Yomi Quick Look – Humble Choice August 2023

Trek to Yomi Quick Look – Humble Choice August 2023

The Blaugust bunch do a monthly look in at the Humble Choice monthly offerings, each taking a game or two and writing up a little review of sorts to cover the games within and give a vague look in. A nice thing for folks who may be undecided on whether or not they’ll pick it up on a given month, but also just an interesting snippet of game reviews. For August, we have a pretty solid selection of games: I…

Spoons and What I Do With Them

Spoons and What I Do With Them

I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…

I’m Joining Blaugust 2023

This is perhaps a bad idea for me to attempt right now as I’m already struggling with everything else I’m trying to do (fatigue/brain fog do not make for an eloquent blogger), however, I have signed up for Blaugust 2023! For those of you who are unaware, Blaugust is a blogging event started by Belghast that occurs during August (usually), and its original idea was to publish a blog post every day during that month. This, of course, is a…

The Best of the Steam NextFest June 2023

The Best of the Steam NextFest June 2023

Last week was the Steam NextFest for June 2023 and I almost didn’t look at it at all, but a friend was talking about the games she was checking out and I couldn’t help myself. The thing is, usually when I pick out demos from NextFest, they sit on my PC until I ultimately uninstall them, unplayed. I’m just not a big demo/beta kind of gal. But last week was tough for me and I suppose unfocused game hopping was…

World of Warcraft: A Greedy Emissary Quick Guide

World of Warcraft: A Greedy Emissary Quick Guide

Hey folks! I have a quick guide for World of Warcraft’s Diablo IV crossover event A Greedy Emissary for you today. I had to trawl through the internet and just dive into it to work out how it works, so I figured I’d throw out what I found in the hope that this helps somebody. Some Kinks First off, know that this has dozens of people attacking a single target for all they’ve got. This event is laggy so you’ll…
