This week I’m still playing Stardew Valley. I’ve finally got up Foraging to level 10, which was much more difficult than I expected. I’m still playing Rimworld on the side. I’ve bought every book any time a merchant shows up. And I’m probably utilizing the load game feature a bit much, at least when combat goes poorly. Anyway, what are you guys up to?
A variety of bad weather and bad eating leaves me a bit content-poor at the moment. I am working on a longer post; I’m just pretty low energy at the moment. My week in hobbies and gaming consisted of working on two Metal Earth-brand model kits, getting to the final ten tiers of rewards in Galactic Season 6 in Star Wars: The Old Republic, figuring out what needs to be done with Mystilatre the Hunter in Warlords of Draenor before doing the end-game zone, and starting Selarishari, my Blood Elf Paladin, in The Burning Crusade.

I sort of indulged myself with this one. If the joke made no sense, then you can read this. The joke still won’t make sense, but at least you’ll be distracted.
I’ve wanted to make this joke for ages. Long before DM of the Rings, I used to think this way when dice would bounce away and fall in some hidden corner.

This week I’ve gotten to play more Stardew valley. I’ve mostly just been fishing, and when I’m not fishing I’m watering the 300 pumpkin plants I decided to grow without any sprinklers for some reason. I also started playing a little bit of Rimworld again. I’m not very good at the game but I hope to give someone as many bionic parts as I can, just to see how it goes. Anyway, what are you guys doing this week?
I did quite a bit this past week, but I’m not sure how much is worth documenting. I guess we’ll find out. Anyone who missed out on the many comments on last week’s Fallout TV series post, make sure you follow up; unless you want to miss spoilers. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had deleted my Destruction Warlock that was somewhere around halfway through Battle for Azeroth in Worlds of Warcraft, due to difficulty in following the storyline properly. I switched to my Draenei Hunter Mystilatre and chose to level up in Warlords of Draenor. And I have to say, I have had a much better experience this time around. Lots of images in this one, at least toward the end.

This week I’ve started playing Stardew Valley with my siblings. We’re not very far yet, so not a lot has happened; I’m hoping we’ll get farther in this time, last time there was too much going on to commit to it. I also played the demo for ROBOBEAT. To me, it’s like if Ultrakill decided that being a FPS wasn’t enough and wanted to become a Roguelike Rhythm FPS with the bonus of being able to add your own music. I only played for a bit, but when I can I will probably buy it for myself. What are you guys up to this week?
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
People were so worried about the boring gameplay of The Old Republic they overlooked just how boring and amateur the art is.
Be careful what you learn with your muscle-memory, because it will be very hard to un-learn it.
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
