    Spoons, Please

    This is pretty much a short filler post, to be honest. Work and life have been busy, and I am just beyond drained and unable to find the time and motivation to do the things I actually want to be doing (like blogging, streaming, creating all types of content). I’m not sure how often others run into these issues. Especially those that fall more towards neuro-normative. But after a long day at work, I do not have the physical and/or mental capacity to do much. And it was even worse when I had to go into the office and spend all that time in the car. Lately I’ve been wondering…

    Would You Rather: Game Edition

    I’ve hit the point where I’m finally struggling in Blaugust posts. So I’m taking out another evergreen post, though this one I picked up this Blaugust—Would You Rather: Game Edition. This originally started over with Mr. Peril, then found its way over to Krikket, and I personally yoinked it from Thyanel. I’m sure it’s been all over at this point, though! (I’m still catching up on all the wonderful posts folks have made, so I’m behind on actually seeing where else it’s been… yet!) Like Krikket and Thyanel, I’m adding “for a year” to these so they’re less… long-term and possibly anxiety inducing at the thought of one-or-the-other. Regardless of…

    Social Media as Promotion

    I’ve wanted to blog about this for a while, even before both Solarayo and Aywren posted about it earlier this month. I’m only now getting to it, however, because it’s taken me some time to mull over my thoughts. I’ve been trying to follow some social media posting/promotion and engagement advice provided by Amberly to grow my NSFW business, and have also been trying to apply it to my SFW content creation. However, after a few months of doing it for both accounts, it’s just… overwhelming, and not fun in the least. I know that I should do more of it for my adult content, but I also don’t have…

    Website Issues Stink

    Ugh, website issues, y’all. I am over them. I switched from one host to another not too long ago, and I have been having nothing but issues with the host I switched to. I’m contemplating switching hosts after next year if things don’t improve. This time it was just so many issues with SSL certificates of all things. But for the moment looks like things are sorted. Crossing my fingers it stays that way. Image by Dok Sev from Pixabay This is post 21/31 for Blaugust You can find out more and sign up over at Belghast’s post!

    Revisiting the WP Content Calendar

    Back in April last year, I tried using the content calendar plug-in for the first time ever. And it really clicked with me. Fast forward to today, and it’s still clicking with me. In fact, before a depression period hit, I was ahead on blog posts because of this beauty of an addon! It also helps a lot for catching up on content (as I publish this after the actual listed publish date…). Now, as someone focusing on multiple types of content, do I find this to be a good end-all-be-all content calendar for me? Not at all. I still have to set up my weeks and month ahead of…

    Creating a Second Blog

    Back in 2019, I was wondering whether it was worth my time setting up a second blog or not. I had a lot of posts that flitted over the border of “lewd” into “almost or actual pornography/BDSM”, and I didn’t know what to do about it. Back when I was contemplating what to do, I mentioned that I didn’t “feel like there’s an easy answer to what I should do”. But there really was an easy answer. It just took me a few months to figure it out. I needed a website for my adult content creation anyway, so why the hesitation in writing about the nerdy NSFW stuff, too?…

    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…

    The Past Year Went Poof

    This Panini, Man It hit me hard, I’m not going to lie. But I’m feeling a smidge better (on the worst of days), so I’m back to blogging! I spent some time during this Panera moving my blogs to different hosting, playing with new domain name setups, dealing with viruses (that was a new one for me), and watching my blog continually blow up. And now it looks like any links in my site aren’t working correctly (I haven’t seen 404 errors on WordPress in a hot minute!) now that I have an SSL certificate on my site. After a quick look while writing this post though, it looks like…

    Blaugust Promptapalooza: Influences

    Blaugust Promptapalooza Hello! Welcome to Gamer Girl Confessions. For those that haven’t been here before, I’m Chestnut! I talk a bit about a lot of different nerdy things here, so I hope you find something that you connect with! I am today’s host for the Blaugust Promptapalooza, hosted by the ever-amazing Belghast.

    Weekend Odds and Ends

    Ding 45! I’ve been having a lot of fun in FFXIV, which is surprising in a way based on how meh I’ve felt about the game until picking it up again. I can’t believe I’ve already hit 45! I expect that I’ll be through the majority of the base game MSQ by the time the new patch implements changes to it. Though I can’t find details on if Patch 2.1-2.55 MSQ will be affected by the newest patch. I’ve especially been enjoying the eye candy that is Cid. His voice could be deeper… but he’s still fun to look at. No Cam Streams I decided to try dabbling with a…
