    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…

    Stream Schedule: Nov 15-21, 2021

    Surprise! Another week, another stream schedule. Like I mentioned last week, I’m only pushing myself to stream once a week with a focus on Saturdays to focus on my mental health and balance work/life. When I started planning my stream schedule for this week, I had really wanted to try playing some DBD on Thursday. But the work week started off wild, and I didn’t know if Thursday would work out. But then it came out that streamers on Twitch have been DDoS’d, doxxed, and swatted thanks to a vulnerability in Dead by Daylight that shows IP addresses. Of course Behaviour put out a statement, but it’s nothing but, “we…

    Stream Schedule: Nov 8-14, 2021

    Look! I have a stream schedule for this week! I know I keep saying I’m coming back to streaming, but I am actually back this week! Right now, I’m only pushing myself to do one stream a week, focusing on Saturdays. This is to help balance everything on my plate with both day job and adult work, while also making an effort to take care of my mental health. I haven’t picked up Sims in a while, so I thought this week I’d try getting back into it with a pared down Legacy Challenge—The Flower Legacy Challenge! While I love the idea of the basic Legacy Challenge, I find it…

    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: 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…

    Wilcox Legacy: Meet Willow Wilcox

    Delving Back In This post is a part of #IntPiPoMo 2017. You can find more information and sign up to participate here. Back in February, I mentioned that I was going to purchase and play Sims4. And I started to, but never really did much with it. One of my favorite things to do in Sims, besides dressing my Sims up, is to do Legacy challenges. I’ve never been one to be big into building houses (I hate it, to be blunt), and I’m not one to sit there and let my Sims just sim their way through life. I get my greatest enjoyment out of tracking a legacy, and…

    And, we’re back!

    I know it was a while, but the Elephant and I are finally settled in (for the most part) and life has calmed down (after this Wednesday, anyway… defending my thesis equivalent! YIKES!). But, I’m back! I can’t wait to start back on BA topics. I’ve missed them so much. And the community. While I’ve been following my favorites, I haven’t had much time outside of life and raid to even comment. Which makes me quite sad, considering there have been some awesome topics out there since my mini-hiatus. Expect a post from me this week on the new BA topic! 😀 Really happy to be back. Also, I’ve gotten…
