The “Gimme” List
You Need a Budget In an attempt to reorganize my life almost-post-divorce and get expenses under control, I’ve gotten back into hardcore budgeting, which is something I let fall by the wayside for a long time with a two-income household (for many reasons that are really a moot point at this juncture). A while ago, I saw a blog post go by from Liore about this neat program called You Need a Budget, or YNAB for short. It plays to the “envelope method” (though, complete disclosure, I do “borrow” from envelopes to cover other envelopes, which is supposedly a no-no to the envelope method theory) of budgeting but utilizes a…

2017 Game-Along Choices, Part 1
The Community Game-Along Initiative Image by Chic Pixel Last year, I stumbled upon the Community Game-Along via #DatingSiMonth, and thought it was something really cool to try out. It’s back again, for the fourth year, hosted by Chic Pixel once again. But this year has some different categories to choose from for gaming. Like last year, I want to try to plan out what to play, and look for suggestions from others if I’m feeling stumped on what to play, or if I’m not digging what I choose to play. The platforms I have available to me, currently, include: X-Box 360 (not my favorite system) Nintendo DSi Nintendo DS (original—able…

#DatingSiMonth and Streaming
#DatingSiMonth Image from Chic Pixel Just like last year, January was #DatingSiMonth. This is a part of the Community Game-Along that Chic-Pixel has put on for the past four years! I sort of participated throughout the year last year, but got sidetracked by real life. This year, I’m hoping to be able to participate more. And starting up in January with Dating Sims always gets me in the mood to continue. Because, really, how can you go wrong with Dating Sims, right? I ended up playing a combination of Sweet Fuse, Seduce Me 2, and Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya throughout the month. I totaled only six hours of Dating Sims,…

#IntPiPoMo 2016 Hath Arrived!
IntPiPoMo? IntPiPoMo, or International Picture Posting Month is the image equivalent of National Novel Writing Month (or 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 These can be anything from screenshots from any game, to photographs you take in real life and want to share on your blog. Seriously, they can be anything—character selfies, shots of combat, sharing your game UI, showing off all those pretty new scenery shots in the Remastered Skyrim… you get the idea. IntPiPoMo was started back in 2011 by Angelya of Revive &…

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…
