#blaugust 2023

What happens if you mix the gameplay of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and the aesthetic of Breath of the Wild? This is The result. I´ve been looking foward to this game for months, specially since it takes cues from several farming sims that have been showing up lately. Disclaimer: “As of this writting the game is currently in open beta, thus it might comes with some incomplete features or…

I feel lonely... lonely lonely lonely... #LotRO #Blaugust2023

I really love being back in LotRO and I also enjoy the levelling process at the moment (in West Gondor). But I haven’t seen a single soul out there. Only when I went back to Rivendell did I see other players and when I joined the seasonal festivals. Where are all the players nowadays? Rivendell has always been quiet, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of people to be there anyway, but Bree also feels…

Blaugust 2023 In Review - Today is Tabulation Day signalling the end of Blaugust 2023 and in this post I talk about all of the various awards.

Good Morning Friends! It is that time again… Tabulation Day, aka the day in which I spent the morning counting up all the blog posts from all the participants. This year I want to give a huge thanks to a few people who helped out, most specifically GamerLadyP who organized a self-reporting thread on the Discord and MagiWasTaken for getting up well ahead of me due to timezones and providing me a…

Last day of Blaugust! So How did I go? #Blaugust #Blaugust2023 #Blogging #Wordpress #Writting

As I´m writing this it is the last day of August and with it the end of of Blaugust. So how did I went? Well for one thing I ended up uploading less posts than last year. It happened for two reasons. For one, I was having some problems in trying to upload some posts. Last year I had already had a few that were already scheduled so it made my job easier. I was unable to do so this year. Another…

The last theme week for Blaugust is “Lessons Learned”. I can’t say I learned anything new, I’ve been blogging for a while, literally decades, and I’m already aware of well, all of that which comes along with it. As, kind of depressing as they are. But let’s pretend it’s all fresh and new. Daily Updates As much as I like the idea of updating daily, I am not cut out for it, not anymore. Maybe…

Google needs to re-separate its main and drive storage again. This isn’t a problem that affects me, not directly. I imagine it affects a lot of other people though, whether they realize it or not. I also worry that it’s entirely intentional on Google’s part, in order to sell more cloud space to users. I should add, I don’t have a problem with Google selling cloud storage. I don’t have a problem…

Steam Next Fest 2023: Mini Settlers #MiniSettlers #Blaugust2023

Steam is currently running its Steam Strategy Fest and as usual, there are a lot of demos to try out. Reus 2 is having its first public demo, by the way! Go check it out if you’re even vaguely interested! But back to the actual topic: Mini Settlers. I started this demo not expecting much at all. Not because of the simplistic graphics, but because it reminded me of Masterplan Tycoon. A game whose…

Never Have I Ever... in Guild Wars 2 #GuildWars2 #Blaugust2023

This kind of fits to the post I made a few days ago. But the content was triggered by somebody giving away a legendary precursor weapon in their Twitch stream. I have never had a precursor drop. I have been playing since headstart (11 years ago)! Where is my precursor? But there is more than that which seems to be unusual compared to about every other player I encounter. I have never finished…
