I’m back with more on that family dysfunction tip. I left off the last post with the amusing anecdote about how my father had told me after my return from the hospital that I didn’t know how hard it had been for him and my mother. As I said in that post, it surely was… Continue Reading
There are many lessons I’ve learned from my medical trauma. I mentioned some of them in my previous post and I want to expand on the topic in this one. When I started that post, my intent was to talk about my family dysfunction, but I got caught up in other things. I would never… Continue Reading
It’s been almost eight months since that night. It’s something t hat is always in the back of my mind, if not the front. I don’t talk about it much, but it’s there. I was reading Ask A Manager (one of my stories) and there was a question about what to answer when someone asked… Continue Reading
If I wanted to, I could write a paean to Elden Ring that makes a solid case for how it’s a game changer. Literally. They took the tired old open world formula and made it exciting again. It’s funny because there were a few people at Ubisoft and Guerrilla Games who griped about Elden Ring… Continue Reading
I started a new Elden Ring playthrough as the Prisoner. Because of course I did. I’m leaving the first playthrough as is (and I’m still finding new things every day!), but I wanted a fresh new start. The Prisoner is the classic Strength/Intelligence hybrid (with very little Faith, unfortunately), and I’m already stronger a few… Continue Reading
Ever since I got out of the hospital, a weird thing has been happening. I get my tight eight every night (which is strange in and of itself), but once a month or so, I have a few days in which I have difficulty sleeping. Then, on the fourth or fifth night of this, I… Continue Reading
The pandemic has been hell for many reasons. One of them is because parents have had such a hard time juggling work and caring for their children, especially when schools and daycare centers were shut down as well. Some companies have responded by giving more flexibility to parents, which is a good thing. But, some… Continue Reading
Still thinking about Elden Ring. I probably will be thinking about it for a long time–maybe for the rest of my life. Yesterday, I took care of two field bosses, one that gave me so much trouble when I tried to fight it earlier. Again, spoilers for end game content. This was the Full-Grown Fallingstar… Continue Reading
So. I’ve accepted I cannot save-scum for the two endings I need for the Elden Ring plat. It’s actually freeing to let go of the unrealistic hope and just move on. I’m going to be playing this game forever, anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. Ian was telling me about his adventures in Raya Lucaria… Continue Reading
More musings about the end of Elden Ring. First post here. I still haven’t figured out a way to fix the save-scum issue I have so I can get all the endings now, but I have a few more ideas to try. If they don’t work, then I’ll just have to do it the old-fashioned… Continue Reading
