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…
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!

Hello! I have no spoons to speak of today so meet my Mage. No, not my main Mage. This is my alt. Actually she was almost my main, but that was a very long time ago. You see, I started out playing World of Warcraft Horde-side, but I always felt much more at home with the Alliance and longed to main a Night Elf.1 By the end of Cataclysm, a Twitter mutual was setting up a casual Alliance guild on…
In more recent years, I often find myself disinterested in video games on the whole for a period. Everything just sounds like too much effort and I want to be with my books, my cross stitch, my movies and series, my TTRPGs, whatever it is I’m filling my time with. But back in April, I found myself spoonless and all I could think to do, was load up Classic World of Warcraft and plug away at a game I knew…
I wanted to share an event that is currently going on with you all called the Indie Playtest Fest. I know I love checking out different demos to explore the wild variety you can find in video games, particularly when you look at the indie game market, and so I figure a lot of you may also be interested. To quote the website: Creating a game as an independent developer is a challenging journey, especially when it is your first…
I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…
