New Year's resolutions are a thing that I take somewhat serious. Here are mine for 2021 and why a lot of them are so important to me.
New Year’s resolutions and Positivity
EXP Share Prompt #2 – Stories of the past
Following up on a prompt by DanamesX from Tales From The Backlog, as well as a post that I read on GamingOmnivore, I thought I'd share some stories myself.
Binge Watch Sorrow 2: Electric Boogaloo
Wilhelm made a great post about streaming services like Neflix, HBO, etc. and I thought I'd also add my two cents on his points.
Netflix’ “Dark” has me mesmerized
"Dark" is dark... it's sinister... it's great... it has got me hooked so let me tell ya about it without telling ya about it! Here are my thoughts without any spoilers!
One Year of Blogging!
One year of blogging and many more to come! Here's some of the biggest changes that Indiecator went through as well as some stats, pictures, and goals! Enjoy!
Mystery Blogger Award! We got atagged by Meg!
So, Quietschisto dared to tag us for the Sunshine Blogger Award and I wanted to make a post about that one but then I got reminded that a certain geeky gal called Megan actually tagged me for the Mystery Blogger Award... in March! Oh no, we're super late! Meghan, thanks for the tag. I honestly forgot about it because... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Promptapalooza – Caught Up and Done!
While originally, there were plans for a whole bunch of posts and the Promptapalooza prompts on top of that, I ended up still not getting anything done ever since I arrived at my parents. Hence, here's a catchup post. First things first, why am I not getting anything done? Honestly, I'd say that I'm missing... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Prompt #13 – 5 Facts
Jen from Bookofjen has a prompt for us: Tell us five things about yourself! Thanks for the prompt, Jen! Check her blog out! The next one in line is Heather from Geeking By! Check her blog out as well! :) Alas, the five-fact-list is starting now... This one should be not too depressing! Fact 1: I'm getting better... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Prompt #12 – Dwell in the past
Blaugust Prompt 11 about my physical creative workspace is... in the works... but I want to post pictures that I can't get right now... I'm not there after all. Hence, we're writing about Prompt 12 instead, for now, which is hosted by SDWeasel over at USS! The next post in line is by Jen over here. Check... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Prompt #24 – The username question
Blaugust is here! But what's this? This isn't the usual Blaugust? It's a special Promptapalooza with a prompt hosted by me! Welcome in! If you have no clue about all of this... then check out the two links in the box below the post... and if you're here from Beej or other bloggers, welcome in!... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Prompt #10 – The process behind my blog posts
Do I have specific routines for the process of creating a blog post? Are there differences between different types of posts? Do I only write posts on my PC? Do I only write at certain given times? Do I have a schedule for recurring topics? Well, this question and everything around the process of creating... Continue Reading →
Blaugust Prompt #8.5 – Characters that tell something about me
Just yesterday, we talked about mascots and our favourite protagonists. The latter was the prompt that Bel gave to Tessa, though she then modified it. Her slightly modified prompt was "Share characters that tell us something about you!" But I don't think that this prompt is too different from my previous choices. At first, I... Continue Reading →
TSS#72 – Blaugust Prompt #6 – My favourite quote(s)
What is my favourite Quote and why? Who the fuck is Todd Howards anyways? Why the fuck do I need to drag philosophy into this? These questions and possibly others in today's post! "Today" is Wilhelm's turn to hold the Blaugust baton and host "today"'s prompt for the Blaugust Promptapalooza! "Today" is in quotation marks... Continue Reading →
TSS#71 – Blaugust Prompt #5 – Rituals?
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 →
TSS#69 – Blaugust Prompt #3 – Media shapes your worldview?
Blaugust Day 3 is here, and I'm late since I struggled with putting my thoughts into words. "What are some key sources of media (games/movies/etc.) that have shaped your worldview?" I do not like this prompt. My worldview is based on all the experiences that I accumulated over the course of the last 21 years... Continue Reading →
TSS#68 – Blaugust Prompt #2 – Unpopular Opinions
"What is some popular piece of content/media that seems to be universally loved that you have never been able to understand?" - That's today's prompt, "hosted" by @Dragonray over at AzerothianLife. In their post, Dragon actually talked about Game of Thrones and I completely agree with her views. I personally only have watched the first... Continue Reading →
TSS#67 – Blaugust Prompt #1 – Fandoms
Blaugust is here! I mean, August is here! Alas, here's the first prompt by Belghast: "If you could change anything about one of your core fandoms, what would it be?" - and I'm already confused. My issue with this one is that I don't think I'm part of really any fandom... at least I'm no... Continue Reading →
TSS#66 – Blaugust, Cats, and Drafts
Welcome to another Stray Sheep. Today I'll talk about the upcoming Blaugust event, my participation in that, and other things. I hope you enjoy this post! Let's get right into it: It's nearly August and therefore it's time for Blaugust. But since we already participated in Blapril just a few months ago, Bel thought of... Continue Reading →
TSS#65 – My Shaky Moral High Ground
In the past, I've talked about my core beliefs and ideals already. It has lead to the decision to not review Heartbeat, for instance, because I wouldn't want to review and promote a game that is made by people actively harming others... But as time went on, I noticed that my thinking may be flawed.... Continue Reading →
TSS#64 – Mystery Blogger Award
The Mystery Blogger Award is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much... Continue Reading →
TSS#63 – The current situation and my opinion, I guess
This is a shorter longer post and potentially a bit "heavier" than usual but this time around it's about "our voice" and about politics in a way. It's about my beliefs and my take on the matter and everything that is going on right now... and I'm telling all kinds of -ists and -phobes to... Continue Reading →
TSS #62 – On the Lookout!
The last Stray Sheep has been half a month ago already so I thought I'd post something in that section already. This time around, we're talking about categories! Currently, I'm doing mostly reviews (Indietail) since I originally wanted to do exactly that, review titles in my library and work through my backlog. The Gaming Journey... Continue Reading →
Arachnophobia intensifies – Venturing into the Deepnest
I've talked about my fear of spiders in the past before in this post and even in this one… but ever since I've visited that spider-convention nearby and had that tarantula on my hand, I have not really encountered any spiders in my flat. And apart from "Kill It With Fire", I haven't seen any... Continue Reading →
TSS #61 – Blapril 2020 Wrap-Up
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 →
TSS #60 – Toxic People
This is a post about toxic people and toxicity in general, I guess. And to make this post less sad or personal or heavy, I'm also adding cat pictures into the mix - and I'm not adding any pictures of cats that I know and love but generic cat pictures from the wordpress library to... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
