Social media is weird… or rather: I haven't really figured it out. I'm constantly shitposting on that Instagram-account that my first ever girlfriend forced me to create and after 502 posts of uh… mountains… vineyards… vacation… museums… "Do Not Touch" signs that I've touched… and me, I guess,… well… apparently 166 people are following me...

Indietail – Kill It With Fire: Ignition
It's springtime… for spiders… in Germany! (Uh, I hope nobody minds that reference…) Yeah, spring has already kicked in with its sweet scent of flowers and lawns, with pollen flying through the air (I'm not bothered by it), wasps bothering me on my balcony, with sunny and rainy days and generally a forecast that leaves...

TSS#58 – Getting Old
I'm starting to get old. My tutors are starting to use programs I've never heard about like Zoom and Rocketchat and while I'm able to use Zoom right now... I'm completely failing at Rocketchat and have no clue what I'm supposed to do. Signing in doesn't seem to work and using the link and the... Continue Reading →
An early look at Ring of Pain
April's Humble Choice offered you the option of downloading a DRM-free demo of Ring of Pain (v0.8.21) if you signed up for the choice, so I not only got some nice games this month but also got to see how much the game changed ever since the demo I played last year in August! But... Continue Reading →
Quantic Foundry Gamer Motivation Profile
A while ago... well... a few months ago, I should say, I was nominated by Frostilyte to participate in a new tag post thing. And then I thought I'd do it later... and then I forgot about it... and now it seems like a good day to post about that, so uh... here! What's this... Continue Reading →
TSS#57 – Taking a day off bloggin’
Yesterday I took a day off bloggin'. And that's weird. It's weird as I'm taking the blog as a burden of sorts again, which is bad. I mean, I don't have to post daily and I don't have to post too much anymore. I know that I won't be able to post the previously planned... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Satan’s Workshop
Honestly, I've been staring at this blog post for way too long and no introduction that I could make up would be better than the description that Simon Boxer, Reuben Covington, Andrew Kasapidis, Abby Synth, and Jessi McNally came up with. What's that about, you may ask? Well, I'll quote it in a bit. After... Continue Reading →
Just another post about Hollow Knight
I love Hollow Knight. It's a great game. And essentially I've been referencing it for a while now in my posts while playing it for fifteen hours already on stream. So, I tried to re-create my Avatar as a Hollow Knight character but didn't quite manage to do it and now I got this. Tadaa!... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Gutwhale
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be inside of a giant whale? Or what it's like to manage your inventory properly if you only have one spot? Or have you ever thought about the possibility that a van is currently chasing you… from ABOVE?! Well, if you didn't really know what I want... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #56 – Uni@Home
On April 1st, University should have started… but due to the state the world was in, it got delayed to today. And since the world is still in this state, "Uni@Home" is the solution that our University went for. Essentially, all of my classes are being held via "Zoom", an app just like Skype or... Continue Reading →
I hate games
I hate them all. They take away so much time and quite often they cost money that you need to work for, hence losing even more fun. Games are bad. Really. It's not COVID-19 that's keeping us at home… it's video games. The number of new streamers and new people playing games has increased in... Continue Reading →
I hate timers
I like the Zelda games but I never really got into Majora's Mask… I mean, I guess I should like it - after all, it's literally a darker version of Ocarina of Time and it has some great elements to it both presentation-wise and gameplay-wise. But I guess the main reason for why I didn't... Continue Reading →
I hate race/gender-locked classes
Today we talked about a lot of stuff on the Blaugust/Blapril discord. Among the discussed topics was World of Warcraft and how Tessa didn't like it (while I, for instance, haven't crossed path with WoW, yet, at all). Easha then confirmed Tessa's discontent by mentioning how they don't like the "Time, subscription model, graphics, faction... Continue Reading →
I hated scripted fights
Scripts generally have a neutral and a negative connotation to them. In video game terms, "scripting" means "hacking", which is bad in a lot of ways and hence doesn't really have to be discussed (today?). The other definition is "script" in a sense of "screenplays" or the instructions that one is given in a play.... Continue Reading →
I hate invisible walls
Games allow us to escape reality. I mean, you don't have to use it as an escape mechanism but it's possible. You can visit places you've never been to before. You can do anything you ever wanted to do. You can be whatever you wanted to be. Some games allow you to explore a ton... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #55 – Blaugust is hard and Blapril is harder
Blaugust is hard. Blapril is arguably harder. After all, you'll need one extra post in thirty days! For the past couple of days, I've been struggling with blog posts. At first, I thought it was the topics that I've chosen - I mean, I've got twenty drafts sitting there and none are particularly finished. But... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #54 – Ugh where do I even start
Lately, I've been feeling sluggish and restless. I'm getting enough sleep and waking up at "normal times" but I still end up not getting much done. Therefore, I thought I'd take this opportunity and write a post about it. As already mentioned in previous posts, I'm not able to write up the two posts per... Continue Reading →
I hate metaslaving
Whenever games get competitive, something called a "meta" develops over time and hence certain "successful" developments or patterns in the way people play a game appear more often, resulting in a (usually) everchanging meta. In League of Legends, I usually play in the Support role. My champion pool is quite varied with a lot of... Continue Reading →
MonHunLog #6 – Grinding Optionals
In the last MonHunLog, we defeated the mighty Behemoth who ended up needing a bunch of resources and a lot of hunters. Things like Ancient Potions, Mega Demon Drugs, Mega Armour Skin, Might Pills, Adamant Pills, Flash Pods and Flash Bugs are quite rare as I can't harvest the ingredients/bugs… but… then I noticed that... Continue Reading →
I hate contact damage
There have been a few hedgehogs, freezing in winter. They were sitting in a cave around a campfire but it wasn't warming them enough, just yet, so they ended up getting cuddly and hurting each other, hence pushing each other back. Now, while that makes a lot of sense in this kind of fable… because... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #53 – Shopping carts are weird
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S ANOTHER COVID-POST! Well, over here in Germany they wanted to implement a law that would force everyone to wear face masks…. but the German military somehow lost a ton of them in Kenia and therefore we don't have enough to supply all citizens and all the hospitals. So instead…. there's no law like... Continue Reading →
Valorant – My First Impressions
Valorant is the new thing and I've got a beta-key, woohoo.In this post, we'll talk about the latest release by our favourite Indie Game Studio, Riot Games! Only a few days ago, Riot released their take on the tactical shooter genre, Valorant, for PC in a Closed Beta. To get keys for that Beta, you... Continue Reading →
Monster Hunter World Cross-Overs?
In today's MonHunLog, I mentioned that it would be cool to see other features in Monster Hunter World from other franchises… so in this one, I'm discussing what I could imagine and what I'd find cool. If you've got any ideas of your own, be sure to let me know about them! I'd love to... Continue Reading →
MonHunLog #5 – Big bird and big doggo
After our successful hunt of the otherworldly Leshen, we were able to unlock the "Geralt-costume"/full body armour that has some very nice stats. So next up, we had to beat the next quest, "A Visitor from a Different World". In the Wildspire Waste, a new creature has been spotted that looks similar to the Final... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #51 – Kinda Cute Words
Welcome in to today's Stray Sheep (technically #52 but it's called #51 for now)! Today we are continuing something that we started last year... Enjoy! Note: For whatever reason #52 came out before #51. I apologize for that but I'm not planning on changing it any time soon! I need to challenge the headache that... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Original Journey
In today's Indietail review, we're talking about Original Journey: A hand-drawn, sci-fi action-adventure where we join the Ato as they embark on a mission to a distant planet, known as the Shadow Planet, to find a certain crystal that can save our own species and even our dying planet. Developer: Bonfire Entertainment Publisher: Neon Doctrine... Continue Reading →
MonHunLog #4 – I don’t like the Witcher-Quest
So, in our last adventure in the New World, we were able to defeat the not-spider boss of MHW, Xeno'forgothisname. In this one, we're talking about a visitor from a different world… So there's this goblin-like creature that reminded me of Smeagol and it got captured in an unusual habitat. Shortly after arriving there, Geralt... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #52 – I can’t say showering or towel
So, today I felt overly sick which is why I didn't release a post yet and alas had to polish my MonHun-Witcher-post and finish this one. Sorry if this one is a bit shorter than usual or more nonsensical. So, today's Stray Sheep is about words I'm bad at pronouncing. Why am I talking about... Continue Reading →
Adore – 0.3.0 Pact with Draknar update
Just recently I've reviewed Adore but soon after I finished it, it got updated and with the major update 0.3.0 "Pact with Draknar" a lot of stuff was added to the game that, essentially, changes a lot of stuff. Hence there is some information in my review that is kind of wrong and alas, here's... Continue Reading →
TSS#50 – How to unfuck your sleep schedule
In today's Stray Sheep we'll talk about resetting your sleep schedule and how to tackle that. I'm proficient in this as I've reset my sleep schedule quite often and hence, I'm letting y'all know how I do things! So, my sleep schedule is fucked right now and alas I'm trying to unfuck it. But how... Continue Reading →
