Final day of Blaugust 2024 and it has been a good one this year, folks. For me at least! I started out with my usual expectation of writing an introduction post, maybe a follow up a few days later, and perhaps a Humble Choice review type thing and that’d be it. As I’ve already covered, writing takes a lot out of me and it’s tough to make myself sit down and do it when my brain just struggles to string…
Hello friends! I’ve been repeating myself a lot on the Blaugust Discord because I like to remind people that Blaugust is not a thing you can fail and to make healthy choices if necessary. A little late for Staying Motivated week? Eh! It’s never a bad time to think about this stuff. So in essence, all I want to say is that if you have tried to do Blaugust, you’ve already “won”. Whether you’ve posted daily, every other day, once,…
It has been an entire year since I last joined in with Krikket et al’s Humble Choice round up! I didn’t mean it to be, I’ve continued keeping an eye on things and seeing if I felt up to it and just… haven’t had the spoons. But this month! I’ve been blogging, consistently even! And a couple games stood out to me in August’s offerings, so I threw my name in the ring. I still don’t really have the spoons,…
The War Within releases in World of Warcraft this Thursday (or Friday if you’re reasonable) for us jammy gits with Early Access.1 I’m getting an appropriate amount of excited and spending these final few days wrapping up all the loose ends I’ve left myself. For those of you who follow me on Mastodon, you’ve likely already seen my little summary of all of this. I realise after sending two decent sized toots it was more of a blog post and…
Last night I watched MaXXXine, Ti West’s hyped followup to the throwback slasher flick X and its prequel Pearl. While I am no Roger when it comes to talking cinema, my newly found passion for horror generally has me sharing my thoughts over on my Letterboxd account. Though these “reviews” are usually my low-spoons post-movie impressions. MaXXXine is a big one so I figure it’d be fun to share my thoughts with you! There may be minor spoilers for X…
I woke up today with heavy fatigue, nausea and a headache. It is so frustrating but Krikket has inspired me to fluff it up! I have managed to get rid of the nausea. A bit of cereal and a cup of the Gingerbread Chai I bought in Cardiff set me right. The tea was actually lovely! It’s a rooibos base and a loose leaf, I’d not tried it yet but I got some fillable teabags yesterday and was excited to…
Oh boy, hello! I think it’s time for me to write that post on brain fog and how it affects my writing. You see, as I was doing so well with the daily posting I was happily ignorant of the coming crash and thinking to myself, “Look how well I’m doing! Daily blogging! I can easily go for the Rainbow badge, let’s do this!” And well I missed one day after my Assassin’s Creed post but I could easily throw…
