More Elden Ring, bay-bee! NPC questlines. In the past games, you could miss the whole questline if you missed a step or two. For Elden Ring, however, they made the change so that you can miss a step or five and still do the quest. For example. My beloved Blaidd. I got the dialogue from… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I used many words to build up my GOTY award. I left off the last post by talking about the map. It is a thing of beauty. I want a real-life version of it because it is magnificent. It was so elegantly done, I could not stop marveling over it. I loved how you… Continue Reading
In my last post, I talked about the state of my gaming thtis year. I didn’t hand out cute little awards as I normally would because, well, there wasn’t much point to it this year. I have not played many new games and there aren’t any that I would actually want to give an award… Continue Reading
At the end of every year, I do a year in games review before handing out funny awards to games I’ve played over the year. The running gag is that a FromSoft game wins every year for game of the year, even in a year when a From game isn’t released (which isn’t many years).… Continue Reading
Last night were whe game awards, and I was nervous. I wanted Elden Ring to win GOTY in a way I haven’t wanted any game to win before. I was convinced that Ragnorak was going to creep up at the last moment and steal it away. I annoyed Ian by bemoaning the situation over the… Continue Reading
When my mother was here last during my medical crisis, I foolishly decided to show her the Sword Form. Why? Because I was drugged up and thought it would be a good idea. Why? Stop questioning me! I don’t know. I honestly don’t. It’s because I love my weapons so much and maybe I wanted… Continue Reading
It’s interesting thet things that get left unsaid. When I talk about my medical crisis, for example, I have no problems saying taht I was in a coma for a week, but I don’t like to mention what actually happened. Why? Because it seems…almost like bragging? I’m not sure exactly why. It’s partly because, and… Continue Reading
I’ve been watching a lot of reaction videos to Tim Minchin songs lately. Why? Because! I’ve been into Tim for decades and I thought he was pretty niche. Well, he was. He’s gotten bigger (and, sadly, more conservative not in politics, maybe, but in ideas) over the years. My favorite to watch is White Wine… Continue Reading
Yes, we’re talking about family gaain. It’s the holiday sesaon, which can make or break a family. There are so many expectiatons during this time that rarely get met. I honestly believe that if people just chilled the fuck out and thought, “We’ll hang and have fun no matter what”, so much family drama would… Continue Reading
Back when the country was debating marriage equality (called same-sex marriageat the time), there was a meta-debate raging about the ‘tone’ of queers as we argued for our basic civil rights. And, yes, I am framing it in a deliberate way beacause I rail against the notion of neutrality when it comes to the issue.… Continue Reading
