    30 Video Game Answers, Part 1

    This post is (6/31) 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. Brain Weasels This is a post that has been sitting in my backlog since 2017. It’s one of those evergreen pieces I mentioned it is a good practice to have around for bad days. And today was a bad head day. It wasn’t as difficult to get out of bed this morning as it has been the past few weeks, which is a plus, but it…

    It’s Chestnut!

    I’ve been going through a tough time in real life due to some things. It’s been affecting everything—my gaming, my blogging, my ability to adult. It’s why even though I have all these draft posts I’ve only barely made it through posting gaming goals, recently. I finally word vomited about it to some folks because I just couldn’t hold it in anymore, and one of those folks made me a pic of my WildStar character just because. Artwork by Deep Triviality (Patreon Page) Doesn’t it look just like my main? And she does have green eyes, I just don’t have a screenshot of that surprisingly. I’ve always been a proponent…

    September Gaming Goals

    I’ve kind of fallen off the gaming goals as I had originally intended them for many reasons. So I’m just going to continue them as a to do list for the remainder of the year as a way to keep myself focused on what I’d like to accomplish in the games I’m digging at the moment. Ready to tackle goals in style! Quick August Review WildStar Finish the pre-quest for Redmoon Terror (I need that mount before it’s gone!!) Finish re-runing all the new DPS gear that unlocked with the RMT changes (Tank can wait until September) Get the birthday presents for the folks I’m getting them for Finish Wildcast…

    Wednesday Boredom

    Blaugust This week has been busy, and I am now just getting to a place where I feel able to blog about events that I’d sort of half-ass pre-written about as they happened. I’ve discovered through Blaugust, that even when I have the best of intentions and put together thoughts/images in a post as pre-writing, I don’t always get back to it in a timely manner if I’m feeling overwhelmed, or that I just need downtime. Which isn’t a bad thing to discover about my blogging habits. Heck, blogging 2-3 times a week isn’t a bad goal to keep towards, especially with my busy schedule. It feels manageable, and like…

    August Gaming To Do List

    She seems a bit overwhelmed… Yeah, I know it’s Saturday, and August ends on Wednesday. But Legion is out on Tuesday, and there’s gaming things I want to try to finish before that happens. I’m not going to pressure myself, but here’s the list of things I want to try to get done in (mainly) WoW before Tuesday is here. WildStar Finish the pre-quest for Redmoon Terror (I need that mount before it’s gone!!)

    Stepping into Datascape

    On Tuesday, our raid group stepped into Datascape as a whole for the first time. I sadly wasn’t around due to the project at work that’s currently going on, but based on our logs, we made some pretty good progress on System Daemons. Plus, it’s always fun to see guildie reactions on Twitter during raid. It’s like a bad dream sequence … all those floating bodies. #wildstar #raiding pic.twitter.com/dX9QwVghix — SpousalUnit Fitch (@CirindeFitch) August 11, 2016 So, I just have to point out, to those that might not raid in WildStar, this is what the first boss of the second raid looks like. We stepped in again last night, and…
