Have You Ever: Gaming Edition
This blog post has been sitting in my drafts for about a year, so I figured I’d finally dust it off and put it to use during “Getting to Know You” week! I found this idea originally on Chasing the Four Winds, and it seemed like a fun evergreen prompt to keep in the backlog for when I needed a post on short notice. So, without further ado, let’s answer some questions about gaming! Have You Ever… Rage quit a game? I don’t think I’ve ever rage quit a game? I remember walking away from games because they were getting annoying or aggravating, but I’ve never logged out of a…

Getting to Know All About You
A new week means a new theme for Blaugust! And this week’s theme is all about getting to know you. Err, me? Anyway, Bel defines this week as “Getting to Know You Week”. The idea behind this week is to let the community know who you are and what some of your interests are. This is a great time to dip into that well of stories and tell us something interesting that has either happened to you or something about your specific spin on blogging. I only really have one or two posts planned this week to talk more about me in general. I find that most of the time…

How Week One of Blaugust Went
I saw this post on Thyanel’s blog and loved the idea, so I’m using it as well. If you’ve been following my Twitter, you’ll know that, well, this post is actually back-posted for August 8. I had most of the past week off, and I dealt with a lot of emotional things and decided to just… hide and relax. For like, the first time in a very long time. In as long as I can remember, anyway. So, the past week ended up as a lot of half-written micro posts that I posted the following (Aug 9-13) week. I’m also in my feels about the Blaugust Discord. I want to…

Gathering and Audiobooks
Like most folks, I used to watch a lot of streaming television and/or movies while playing games. But I haven’t been into watching anything streaming in over six months at this point, except maybe on a date night with Manthing. But audio books have absolutely become my new jam. I started subscribing to Audible back in January after checking out The Hate U Give from the library on audio book. I’ve always told myself that audio books aren’t my thing… but I really think they are. The Hate U Give blew me away on audio book, and I honestly don’t think it would’ve had as big an impact on me…

Ding 60!
I finally did it! I hit 60! It’s felt like an absolute slog in some places, but that’s probably because I’ve been doing level 50-52 MSQs and dungeons as as a level 58 WHM. For now, though, it’s time to burn through the last of my rested XP while I work on gathering professions. I also picked up Dancer! Which I’m super excited about! But… I can’t really do anything with it until I get through Heavensward… *sad trombone* This is post 6/31 for Blaugust You can find out more and sign up over at Belghast’s post!

To the Crystal Tower
Labyrinths of the Ancients I am steadily making my way through the FFXIV MSQ in A Real Reborn, though I’m aggravated finding out that three quests away from Heavensward I have to do all of Crystal Tower. I mean, I’m okay with doing it, because it’s more story, but it was irksome to find out I actually had more quests to do than I thought I did. Labyrinth was my first time doing a raid in FFXIV, and I enjoyed the mechanics! I especially liked that I was able to just queue up and do it. I enjoyed the story through this point, though I still think NOAH is a…

Corpse Groom
WARNING: Possible spoilers ahead! I don’t have much to say about this quest-line for Tam-Tara (Hard) except that it fucked me up. In a good way, though. It was… intense! I remember seeing Edda and encouraging the group of them to go be adventurers. And then I remember finding out that one of them died. And it was sad, but then completely forgotten in the rush of the never-ending MSQ. But man oh man. Tam-Tara (Hard) with all of the journal entries littered about the dungeon? I felt lucky to go in with a group of fellow first-timers, and we all stopped to read them, and discuss them in chat…

TBR Stack August 2021
Why a TBR Stack? I’ve never done a post like this before, and I think it’d be fun to go over what’s currently in my reading stack for the month. I know I’m most likely not going to get to every single book on the list. I’m not sure how it’ll look in future posts, but I really wanted to talk a smidge about all the books I’m looking forward to trying this month. Reading is something that’s become enjoyable to me again in the past year or so, and because I’m feeling passionate about it, I figured why not share? Library Run These are the books I plan on…

Back to Streaming This Week!
I’m not offline for much longer (I had to push it due to life)! My goal for this month is to stream at least once a week on Saturdays, and to have a flex day of Thursday evenings when I’m up to it. I’m still working day job and creating adult content while getting back into streaming, so I’m trying to pace myself and take it slow, but also work towards consistent dates rather than picking something that may fit my schedule at the start of the week, but not work by the time the date I set comes around. Anyway, all that to say, you can find me on…

Welcome to Blaugust 2021
Time for Blaugust! Welcome to the start of Blaugust! This week, August 1-7, has been deemed “Welcome to Blaugust Week”, and is defined by Bel as follows. The idea behind this week is to give folks time to spread their wings and get used to that daily blogging idea.

Additionally it is a great time to get connected to the Blaugust Discord and meet the community as a whole. I’m going to try to…
