This brings me back a bit but I actually talked about today's prompt before when I just started blogging and when I entered Blaugust for the first time last year. It feels like ages but it's only been a year since I wrote about this. Today's prompt is the following: Everyone has specific rituals that... Continue Reading →
Blapril2020 is over and this is a wrap-up post! Just the other day, Belghast posted his Blapril-Rundown with all the stats, awards and participants and therefore concluded the event for now. "During the entire series run of March 29th through May 9th we had 48 total participants and they crafted 1124 blog posts. This works... Continue Reading →
A while ago, I've reviewed Risk of Rain 2 and had a blast, but since it got updated a ton over the course of more than a year now, I wanted to write about it again and… well… I recently got back into it again and had a blast, again. So, strap on for today's... Continue Reading →
It hasn't been too long since we posted about our last look at Ring of Pain and there's already been a new updated demo for it. The last version was V0.8.21 while this one (got updated today, again) is already at V0.8.36, featuring a complete stat-overhaul and some UI-improvements, item effect changes and other updates....

It's May and thus, there will be a new Humble Choice - and this time, I thought I'd give you my choices and thoughts. So, while the idea isn't new or anything (after all, Naithin and others probably are on it for this month!), I'll try to do something about this month and talk about... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 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 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
