Games I’ve been playing – February 2023

The members of the After-school Sweets Club pretending to be delinquents. Airi says "O-Of course she is scared! We're bad, evil people!"

During February I felt like I was being stretched out as there was a mix of real life stuff I had to help with and stuff I wanted/had to do. Before I knew it the month was over and I barely did any of the gazillion things I wanted to do.

Another side effect of it is because of all the stress I kinda ended up looking for refuge in video-games which turned out to be another reason for me not doing any of those other things I wanted to do.

Oh, well. Such is life I guess. I’d like to hope for this month to be better but I doubt the storm is over. In fact I think it barely started and this year will be one of personal challenges. Hopefully I am wrong about it.

Anyway, here is what I’ve been playing lately.

Games I’ve been playing – January 2023

A chibi version of Cú Chulainn Alter on a forest saying "Hey, Master. I'm gonna bit you if you don't quit looking at me like a damn plush toy."

The month of January was just chaotic for me. Everything I wanted to do turned out to take far more time or be more complex than I was expecting. Or both.

To top it off there were also a few events in real life that just made me stressed. The end result was that not only I played less than I wanted to but certain things I wanted to complete this month remain incomplete.

I even missed the New Year’s event in Final Fantasy XIV and Expedition 8 Redux in No Man’s Sky! The first I don’t mind too much but the latter felt like a bummer.

The month of February though is at least looking a little brighter right now. Hopefully this won’t be one of those cases of famous last words! XD

Oh, I am also getting an itch to play Minecraft again which might derail everything even further!

Anyway, here is what I have been playing.

Games I’ve been playing – December 2022

Santa Karna with an angry expression, left fist up with a light green in the form of an eye glowing over it. He shouts "Santa Punch!"

Happy New Year!

I swear December felt like it just flew by in the blink of an eye. Despite not having accomplished every goal I set for myself I still got enough done that I am not feeling bad about it.

It almost got derailed though as I did get an itch to play Minecraft, even installed a modpack to test out but thankfully didn’t get absorbed by it.

I did however spend far more time than I expected in Blue Archive (more about it in a bit).

Another unexpected event was me moving fully from Twitter to Mastodon. My plan was to do it early this year but it was feeling like Musk was changing the rules of the service every week and I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

There is another important migration I am planning to do this year but I am still in the initial stages of studying it. I will post more about it when I have something to show because it is something concerning this blog.

For now, let’s talk about some games!

Games I’ve been playing – September 2022

Chen Gong from Fate Grand Order saying: There is no problem that can't be solved with an explosion which is why our victory is assured!

Sorry for the late post. To be honest I haven’t been in the best mental state lately. Plus I decided that instead of writing I wanted to play Minecraft instead.

Speaking of which, besides Fate Grand Order, Minecraft was pretty much the only game I played in September. I did intent to play some other games and demos but that never happened. Maybe in October it will be different. Or maybe I will just play more Minecraft again.

Anyway, let’s get to the meat of the post itself!
