Stream Schedule: Dec 13-19, 2021
Stream Schedule I’ve pared down the stream schedule for this week. I have a fairly busy week ahead of me at work, and I also need to carve out a bit of time to start getting ahead on some adult content creation. So instead of two streams this week like I had initially planned, I’m only going to do one. And there’s no Sims stream on the schedule this week either. While I would love to chill and continue my Flower Legacy Challenge, I have weekend plans to stay in and chill with Manthing. This week I plan to just stream some chill Animal Crossing on Thursday. As I mentioned…

Stream Schedule: Dec 6-12, 2021
Stream Schedule How is it December already? I don’t understand. But here we are. And with a new stream schedule for the week. I really hated missing stream on Saturday, but my depression and lack of spoons got the best of me… followed by a migraine that evening. So I’m going to try to stream two days this week instead to make up for missing Saturday’s stream. Since I finally unlocked K.K. in Animal Crossing, I can officially build on my island! So that’ll be the focus of Thursday’s stream… though I have no idea where to begin or what to do. But I’ll figure it out as I go.…

Enjoying ACNH Again
ACNH with My Bestie I put Animal Crossing: New Horizons down a while ago. But after playing some the past few months with my best friend twice a month, I’ve really gotten back into it. At first, I would just update the game a few minutes before logging into video chat with my bestie, and then leave it alone after the fact until our next game date night. All we really do is visit each others islands as we chat about anything and everything. Check out what’s for sale at the Able Sisters and the Nook brothers, give each other items (though my bestie has become my ACNH Fairy Godmother),…

Stream Schedule: Nov 22-28, 2021
Stream Schedule A new week means a new stream schedule. I’m really enjoying streaming. I’ve missed it, but I also remember it being much more difficult and draining than it has been. Though it may be less draining due to the fact that I’ve been on antidepressants just about two years, now. I’m going to be playing some Animal Crossing: New Horizons on stream for the first time ever this week. It’s a weird week for me at work due to the fact that American Thanksgiving is on Thursday, but I should be able to make some chill ACNH happen. Not only will it be my first time playing ACNH…

Community Game-Along 2020
Where Did it Go? I’ve been an on-and-off participant (since 2016) of the Community Game-Along that Anne of Chic Pixel has hosted. While, admittedly, I haven’t picked up any games outside of ESO in a while (and honestly, even ESO has just been login rewards for over a month, though I’m hoping that will change soon), I was sad to not be able to find it on her blog this year when I looked in February. Of course, like a newb, I didn’t even look at her old posts to check if she may have mentioned what was happening with it (spoiler alert: she did). So it wasn’t until a…

30 Video Game Answers, Part 3
This post is (8/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. The other day I decided to turn a post from 2017 into some prompts for folks. Part two’s prompts can be found here. It comes to an end with this post, part three of three! (Unrelated: I know I’m “behind” on posts, and while depression may have gotten the best of me for the past few days, I’m going to try to post an extra post…

August ’19 Gaming Goals
This post is (3/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Gaming goals used to be something I posted monthly, but fell off at the end of 2018 with them due to, well, life. I figured I’d try to get back into them in some way or another, and Blaugust is a good opportunity to tackle that, especially as day job calms down a little bit with some reorg that’s happened recently, leaving me with some time…

E3 2019 Thoughts: Ubisoft/Square Enix/Nintendo
And the follow up on my E3 thoughts! You can read the first part here, which covers EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda. Ubisoft Watch Dogs: Legion: Initial reaction – Oh yay, another bunch of dudes in a resistance cell in a dystopian future. Secondary reaction – GRANNY HACKER FOR THE WIN. Okay, I’m intrigued. This looks fun, and is story-driven the way I like. Also enjoyed the music. Never gotten into the IP, but this might be the tipping point for me to pick up the others to give them a whirl if I really enjoy this one. Really love the concept of how EVERY character has a story, so the…

E3 2019 Thoughts: EA/Microsoft/Bethesda
Much like last year, I’ve slowly been trying to catch up on E3 announcements, and document my thoughts on what each company has released. Just like last year, I’m behind. Illness and business are a deterrent to getting much done outside of necessity. So here’s my thoughts on the first three panels from E3 this year. I’m still working through Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Nintendo for another post. EA General Thoughts: The announcer for Star Wars was SUPER annoying. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order:Â An ARPG between episode 3 and 4 sounds interesting. But at the same time, I’m not interested enough to want to pay full price. Though I do…

The Game That Changed My Life (TGTCML)
This is post 6 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Aywren, one of the Blaugust participants, posed an impromptu writing prompt on her blog asking: Do you have a game you feel changed your life? Blaugust about it! Contrary to how I view gaming now, gaming was not a big part of my life growing up–I classified myself more as a geek and nerd than anything (and I still do, don’t get me wrong). But it’s not like I didn’t game, either. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s not like gaming wasn’t a part of my life growing up.…
