Roblox – Sonic Speed Simulator

So, I mentioned at the end of my Aurora in Roblox post, I wanted to try some other, hopefully better maps. After skimming the list, I decided on this, Sonic the Hedgehog themed map. Also, I think they are called Obbys for some reason. Anyway, it looked better than a lot of the other options, and that is probably because its actually an official Sonic product, and not some clickbait nonsense like most of the other game modes seem to be. The stage opens with a 3D version of the classic Sonic Zone 1, Green Hill Zone. You run around…

Roblox – Aurora Runaway Forest

I've tried a few times to sort of, understand Roblox. It reminds me of Fortnite, which I like, and it's sort of a virtual world, which I enjoy, so it feels like I could at least be able to be into Roblox a little. I think a lot of my hangup with it has been that the avatar customization is so weird and clunky. The base body is this weird ugly blocky dude. You can get some custom bodies and parts, but there is no clear way to know what items are compatible. Plus, it all costs money to actually…

Heartopia Casual Tips

I have made it pretty deep into this game now, though it has no real goal or end game, and I thought it might be worth sharing some random things I have picked up that were not necessarily obvious, or I missed because, like a lot of folks, I mostly skip tutorials. Basically, some.suggested things to do, ways to make money etc. This is not a "maximize" guide, its a "casuals want to survive" list of tips. Anyway, on with the list Daily Tasks Eventually, like level 5 or something, you unlock daily tasks for NPCs. These are all fairly…

I've picked up yet another "Cozy Game", because this is apparently my nee favorite game genre. Palia, Infinity Nikki, Animal Crossing Pocket, probably a few others I have forgotten. Funny enough, despite several attempts, I can't get into the big name game of this genre, Stardew Valley. I think I kind of just, dislike 2D cozy games. I want my relaxing experience to look pretty, not fake old school. I should add here, I had an issue at first where the game was unplayable because my character would absolutely NOT stop running forward. I looked into the issue, it seems…

Pokemon Go Max Battle Tips

I was a bit skeptical on Max Battles at first, but I find now, I really like them. They feel like raids with better mechanics, and they are just more interactive than just, throwing a ball. The design also feels right enough that the proper team make up can seriously make or break a victory or a loss, unlike Raids, where you are effectively just, competing against the clock. I have managed to do enough of these now I feel like it may be worth throwing out some general tips I have collected. Its not always guaranteed, but it helps.…
