I mean that literally. Since House of Legends launched, I haven’t been able to play reliably. Here’s what I’ve been able to find out. I like DCUO. I play a lot of DCUO. Steam says I’ve played 1,053 hours of it on Steam. I also have some time on the Switch, the PlayStation, and a bit more time in the non-Steam client. I never had a problem playing the game. ...
It could be. I’ve been playing a lot of it. But, it isn’t. It’s about finding the motivation to blog, which, from what I gather, is this week’s theme. When blogging was at its biggest, blogging meant something. So many people that I followed at the time turned their blogs into real jobs. I turned my blog into two real jobs – one at an insurance company (where I still work), and a short gig blogging with Massively. I met a lot of really good friends, including my boyfriend, blogging. ...
I’m kind of worried about the next time when we play “Jaws of the Lion”, as we’ll be confronting cultists again. I don’t really know if I’ll be able to fight against the Blue Oyster Cult… I do try to print as much of the game as I can. I really have been slacking off, lately. I started out wanting to print all the hex tiles for all the dungeons, but the scenario book is so much more detailed… ...
My next birthday is a “5” year – a year evenly divisible by five. I’m not going to tell you how many times that five can fit in the year, but it’s more than five. So on my next birthday, I’ve decided that I’m going to do a “bucket list” activity and climb Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the northeast. I’m not in terrible shape, but I’m not in great shape either. Before the pandemic, I’d been training to run a series of 5Ks through the spring and summer, culminating in the internationally famous (for real) Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving, which I ran a few years back. ...
I’m not really sure how interested people will be, but I took some pictures and want to write about them and I have a blog and… well… here we go. My sister sent me an empty envelope to show her support for the US Post Service, which our government is trying to kill, for some reason, ahead of the elections in November. The envelope wasn’t actually as empty as I’d thought… it was full of glitter… that got all over my kalimba. I had to dump it all into the sink, and now it’s all over the sink and I can’t get it all in the trash. It just… sticks there… ...
I thought and thought and thought about what I would want to use as the header image to this post. Communities… I was watching the game dev documentary on Netflix last night and when Richard Garriot’s segment came up, I remembered that glorious day so long ago when the Ultima Online community came together to assassinate his avatar, Lord British, on the day of that MMO’s opening. Community – can’t live with them and can’t… um, can’t get fooled again. ...
I thought I was so incredibly original when I started using the tag #loveinatimeofcorona on all my Instagram posts back at the beginning of the pandemic. Now I see it everywhere. And I saw it everywhere on Instagram, too. But now it’s everywhere. The header image was captured from a video by Dr. Panda called “ ”. It’s a really good and informational video explaining the pandemic and its origins to children. ...
I at first didn’t want to write anything about fear, the topic of the first Blaugust Promptapalooza prompt. I’d much rather talk about the second one, which was easy, and all prepared. But, I came into this Blaugust thing determined to write a post for each writing prompt. Just because something is hard doesn’t mean I get to skip each. The things that are hard, are the things on which I should focus. ...
