Afternoon Folks. I have no clue why I have been struggling to get a blog post out in the mornings lately.
Anyway... last night I managed to snag a Siege of Orgrimmar and Throne of Thunder group and am the proud owner of a shiny necklace slot. I also talk a bit about how grouping has gone in general and how I would love for this recent foray into building groups to extend into other games.
With the Japanese version of Magia Record shutting down at the end of July, here is my editorial I wrote a few years back on the gripes of Gacha/Live services games.
Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.
New experiments with Unreal Engine 5, Niagara. A prototype of a magnetic device for collecting various bio material. I have a lot of gameplay ideas where it can be used and how: plants, insects, crafting, fuel or things to scare away creatures... Maybe you will have ideas too?
If all #VideoGames were offered as free OR paid on Steam, how would you prefer them? Would you prefer to play all games for free or would you prefer to pay for them to have them delivered to you via Steam? Note: Free ones are installed solo. No launcher, no achievements, no cloud save, no friends list, no Steam year-in-review, no hours played counter, no Steam Workshop, no Steam cards, no game decorations in Steam points shop, but you don't have to pay for any game, ever.
Today’s #throwbackthursday is this simple animated NiGHTs chao that I did sometime in mid-2009. All of the frames were drawn in MS Paint, and I used a website to animate it, don’t remember the name of it right now. My chao anatomy went through a weird phase during that time.
It took me forever to cobble together a blog post today... but I finally finished it. There have been a lot of think pieces posted lately about #PathOfExile#Necropolis league and whether or not it was "bad". I dive into some of my thoughts about the subject and end up writing my own rather lengthy think piece... further adding to the problem.
Flying a drone over this mess... I won't show you the drone itself, because now it's just a sphere. I haven't thought about the design yet. The drone will have a lot of mechanics, I hope... Now there is only movement gameplay and flashlight 🤖😘
While Letterboxd seems to be the popular option for logging and reviewing movies, there doesn't seem to be a consensus option for video games. In the past I've used Backloggery, Grouvee, and Playfire (RIP), but dropped those years ago.
So, what does everyone on the fediverse use for logging/reviewing video games?
Hey all! 👋🏼 It’s #introdction time! My name is Hannah and I want to share a little about myself:
I’m a #wife (my hottie husband is @alex ) and a #mom of 3 awesome boys 🐻🐻🐻
I’m a co owner of Markley Bros. Entertainment and a cast member on our #dnd show Ember Fables! I #homeschool my kids and drink enough #coffee to fuel a small army ☕️
I take some small credit for the naming of No Man's Sky's latest expedition, Adrift.
When I was still active in the No Man's Sky community I referred to the pre-Foundation version of the game as Adrift, because it preceded the shift to settler/colonist gameplay that Foundation introduced.
Let's all comment below with what our day has in store for us today or what we've already gotten done today.
For me, I only have 5 hours left of work for the day with a meeting from 2 - 3pm and then I'm done for an entire week as I'll be heading to Myrtle Beach, SC for vacation with the wife and the family!
Just some video games throughout the day and evening tonight!
Morning Folks! Last night I waded into the scary world of the Group Finder tool in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and found it to be a mixed bag. The first three normal raids were super smooth and I knocked them out in rapid succession. Then I spent the next hour failing to get into either a Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
