    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),…

    Sims 4 Flower Legacy: Rose Darling

    Sims 4 Flower Legacy I’ve been having a lot of fun on stream as of late playing the Sims 4. As I’ve mentioned before, I love the ideas presented in the typical Legacy Challenge (started by Pinstar). But the well-known legacy challenge has far too many rules for me to just have fun playing The Sims and enjoying the story my Sims create. I knew that I wanted to get back into playing Sims, but I didn’t know where to start. So I browsed the extensive list of challenges on the Sims 4 forums, and found the Flower Legacy Challenge. While it provides a bit more guidance than I am…

    2021 Midnight Grove DBD Event: Completed

    The Midnight Grove DBD Event The Midnight Grove event is still live in Dead by Daylight. Pumpkins spawn in possible totem spots and award bonus Bloodpoints when smashed—both for killers and survivors. Tangled generators and hooks have made their way into the land of the Entity, granting even more bonus Bloodpoints when completed and used. And a new Event Tome has been added, playable only during the Midnight Grove event. The Tome includes lots of fun cosmetics for the new survivor, Mikaela Reid, and The Doctor killer. There’s also three new charms obtainable in the Tome. The Midnight Grove DBD event is live until November 11, 2021. So be sure…

    IntPiPoMo 2021: Information and Sign Up

    What is IntPiPoMo? IntPiPoMo, also known as International Picture Posting Month, is the image equivalent of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). In 1999 NaNoWriMo officially started as a challenge to write 50,000 words during the month of November with the end goal of crafting a novel. However, this challenge isn’t something for everyone, for a variety of reasons. That’s where IntPiPoMo comes in. If a picture is worth 1,000 words one will thus need to post 50 images throughout the course of November to equal 50,000 words. These images can be anything from game screenshots, to photographs you take and want to share on your blog, to even showcases of…

    My Little Indrik

    IntPiPoMo Update IntPiPoMo is almost at an end, but I wanted to give a quick shout out to those that signed up to participate this year. I’ve been lurking on posts, and it’s been fun to see how everyone interprets their participation in IntPiPoMo. It’s been a light in a pretty dark month to read everyone’s posts.

    November ’19 Gaming Goals

    September/October Recap September and October ended up being a bit of a… rough few months this year, much like it was last year. So I haven’t done much gaming for a plethora of reasons, including but not limited to depression, emergency pet health, and my own physical health. As such, I didn’t particularly meet many of my September goals between the two months. Hit CP 150 on Warden (ESO) – As of the end of October, I’m at 190 CP. Which is probably much slower going than many other folks I know, but I’m surprised I’ve gotten this far with as casually as I’ve been playing. Ding level 50 on…

    Time for IntPiPoMo 2019!

    What is IntPiPoMo? IntPiPoMo, or International Picture Posting Month is the image equivalent of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). NaNoWriMo focuses on writing 50,000 words over the course of the month of November. So, if a picture is a thousand words, that means that IntPiPoMo requires fifty pictures. Makes perfect sense. These can be anything from screenshots from any game, to photographs you take in real life and want to share on your blog, to some artwork you’ve recently completed. Seriously, they can be anything—character selfies, shots of combat, sharing your game UI, showing off all those pretty new scenery shots with the new graphics card you got… you get…

    Blaugust 2019 Postmortem

    Blaugust is over, which always brings me bittersweet feelings. August 2019 was a much better month for me than August 2018 was, which I am grateful for. As difficult as it became to write 31 posts, I somehow managed it. Though that’s thanks to finally checking off a to-do list item and moving all of my old articles from QueueTimes and MMO Games to my blog. Last year’s insights after Blaugust concluded: Blogging every day is a valiant goal, but is not something I can manage full-time. On the days I journaled in my bujo (bullet journal), I was less likely to post a blog post. I have good intentions…
