What I’ve Been Playing – Web Slinger Edition

Another day, another time I remeber I was going to post more often about gaming habits. Maybe one day I will start posting about Toy habits too. for now, I'll stick to games. Let's look at the pseudo staples. Fortnite Oh Fortnite, how I love to hate thee. The whole of the OG Season has come and gone since my last post, which is kind of sad, I didn't realize it had been that long. Granted, it was a shortened season. I went back to my "trying to wind down" strategy on the Battle Pass, If I finished it before…

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…

2023 Decatur Downtown Postcard Signs

Every year the city has around 20 or so giant postcards laid out downtown around a little park. Every year I try to take a walk down there and take some photos of the ones I find interesting for one reason or another. They are numbered, I think maybe there is some voting involved.

Staley Manufacturing. There are several things named for him in the city…

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,…

Weekly Wrap Up (11.19.2023 to 11.25.2023)

Oh look, I fell into the "Trap of Not". I am pretty sure I mentioned it before. It's just a little phrase I think about sometimes when I want to do something but I just, do not. Specifically, in this case, writing and blogging. Like these little Saturday write-ups, I wanted to at least keep up with them, but I ended up, well, not. I also feel stupid jealous of people who blog and write regularly right now. Look at Cynni's Blog here, she writes daily. Long detailed posts, daily, with her dog and her little neat cartoon images spiced…
