Palia – Getting Set Up

A while back I wishlisted this game on Steam called Palia. It kind of feels like, Stardew Valley but 3D with MMO elements. There isn't any combat though. It's commonly referred to as being a chill and cozy game. This actually came off as kind of appealing in the same way Sky:CotL is appealing. It's recently been released and I have jumped in to check it out. The story starts out, with your character, a human, mysteriously appearing in this shrine where you meet the first of several locals in the area. You can tell they are not humans because…

LEGO Fortnite First Impressions

Fortnite is launching several new game modes with the advent of Chapter 5. The impression I've gotten is that these are supposed to be more or less permanent fixtures like Battle Royale and Save the World. The first of which to drop was LEGO Fortnite. This one kind of feels like the largest one because it includes LEGO Mini figure versions of many many skins and completely new gameplay in large worlds. Not all of the skins have LEGO versions, but they seem to plan to add them all over time. If you already own a particular skin, then you…

Fortnite Big Bang Event

What a ridiculous letdown. Especially after all the build-up. Last season's end with Fracture was lame but at least there was things to DO and some story stuff happened. Let's start with the build-up. As is standard, there was a special event at a specific time, in this case 1p, my time, CST (all times CST). I logged in a half hour early, which was the suggested lead time from Epic, and was greeted with a queue wait, of 90 minutes. I let it go, thinking maybe it would jump ahead faster, but nope. 1 pm came and went. Eventually,…

Sky: CotL – Without a Cape aka “Hard Mode”

I have been setting up a couple of secondary accounts on Sly, to send Hearts to myself, because you need a zillion hearts and there isn't any reliable way to accumulate them with any speed. Even having alts, it's slow as heck. With the Steam version of the game, this is a lot easier to do, especially since I have several machines capable of running the game. Ideally, I might automate this task, but for now, I am fine with doing it manually. I probably won't do it consistently either since sending hearts takes 3 candles, which are easy to…

Fortnite Desperately Needs More Preset Slots

There are currently 100 slots available. Given the sheer number of items available there really needs to be a larger limit. Each battle pass has 7-8 new skins added, each with different styles and colors, which can drastically change the skin enough that it's basically two skins. One could easily want several pre sets for the same skin. This doesn't even get into buying skins from the shop. I like to change skins a lot and I have a lot of pretty alright set-ups. I really wish I could have more though. It's easy enough to change skins, but then…
