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 →
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 →
TSS#49 – Playing chess with pigeons
This is my 101st post on this blog ever since its creation at the end of July. And this post is about Corona. Woohoo. In today's Stray Sheep, we're talking about some annoying bits regarding the lockdown and my situation right now. I'm healthy. I'm safe. I'm fine. Overall, I guess. Lately, I've been feeling... Continue Reading →
TSS#48 – Indietail? – RimWorld and some other games
Indietail's been a format on here for quite some time now and I love showcasing games and recommending stuff to people that don't know those games yet... but there are some great games out there are too popular to be recommended and I don't really know how to feel about them. Just recently I've gotten... Continue Reading →
Destiny 2 – Getting back into the grind!
Destiny 2 has been one of those games that I play every now and then but never could truly get into. I mean, in December (when I first started playing it) I ended up spending around 90 hours in Destiny 2, while I've only accumulated 37 more hours in the past four months. But just... Continue Reading →
The MonHunLog #3 – Xeno’jiiwhat?
A while ago (and yeah, I haven't been too consistent with these MHW-posts) I encountered the final boss of MHW's base game, Xeno'jiiva! In my stream, after we had defeated the three Elder Dragons that I featured in my last MonHunLog, we noticed that the Large Monsters still haven't returned to some of their previous... Continue Reading →
TSS#47 – Memento Mori
This post started rather dark but I don't want it to sound too emo, especially because it's not supposed to sound like that. This post is about getting older or rather about noticing that you're getting older. Also it's supposed to be uplifting, so don't take it too serious. Thanks. Enjoy. :) For quite some... Continue Reading →
Mages for Charity
Mages for Charity is a campaign I started a while ago to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Essentially, it was my birthday on March 23rd and I thought that I didn't want anything at that point and hence wanted to give something back. I organised a "Special-Stream" with some Just Chatting, some Co-Op... Continue Reading →
