DM of the Rings Remastered LXXIV: Equestrian Diving Event
Wednesday Action Log 6-5-24
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?
Dark of the Moon on the Third of June (nonsense post)
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.

DM of the Rings Remastered LXXIII: Schrödinger’s Familiar
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?
World of Warcraft: WoD Still Stands Out and More Fallout
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.

DM of the Rings Remastered LXXII: A Truly Thrilling Encounter
From The Archives:
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
Juvenile and Proud
Yes, this game is loud, crude, childish, and stupid. But it it knows what it wants to be and nails it. And that's admirable.
Twelve Years
Even allegedly smart people can make life-changing blunders that seem very, very obvious in retrospect.
Top 64 Videogames
Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
D&D Campaign
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.
Could Have Been Great
Here are four games that could have been much better with just a little more work.
How to Forum
Dear people of the internet: Please stop doing these horrible idiotic things when you talk to each other.
The No Politics Rule
Here are 6 reasons why I forbid political discussions on this site. #4 will amaze you. Or not.
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
Spec Ops: The Line
A videogame that judges its audience, criticizes its genre, and hates its premise. How did this thing get made?
