Blaugust 2024 – The End and What I Learned Week

I kind of let this one really fall off after a strong start. I've already kind of touched on the various whys of it all. Mostly just a combination of being busy and the usual lack of motivation. I can't say I learned anything new that varies from last year's wrap up. I wish I could be more positive. I'm still pining for the days of old I guess. Which also may be part of why I'm so jaded. I've been blogging for a long time. Like, a really long time. Since before Live Journal was a thing really, though…

Bring Arts – Final Fantasy VII – Barret Wallace

And Barret completes the last of the 4 core heroes. Though now that I think about it, Aerith kind of doesn't count does she? It's complicated, she is kind of core to the plot but also she uh... Isn't around as much... For spoilery plot reasons from a 25 year old game. How about we go with Barret rounds out the core 3 heroes of Cloud, Tifa and Barret. Barret is an interesting character in the game, he is a well meaning tough guy who leads the tiny rebellion group known as Avalanche. Not too smart though, he tends to…

Star Trek – Lower Decks (S1-S4)

So, unlike Discovery, this show is a lot more serialized, which is much more Trek-like honestly. There is some loose callbacks within the seasons, mostly at the end of the seasons, but otherwise, each episode is mostly just its own mission or activity. Or more often, several missions or activities. Unlike most Trek shows, this one follows the "lower decks" crew. As the name would suggest. There is a bridge crew that shows up, but they are not the focus. Instead, it's, all those people running around in the background shots of every episode, doing God knows what, keeping the…

Fortnite Mobile

I've shifted back to Fortnite from Overwatch,   Maybe.  Probably.  Anyway, the newest Fortnite Season is a pretty sweet Marvel themed season with a Marvel BP, which is way more exciting than the upcoming Overwatch BP, which is, kind of hodge-podgey, sort of Ancient Egypt? Also, no Venture Skin for like 3 more seasons.  What the fuck Blizzard? AnywayI'm not really here to discuss Overwatch or the Marvel season of Fortnite.  What also dropped this season is the return of Fortnite Mobile.  Currently available in the EU on iPhones and on Android Phones anywhere, through the Epic Launcher.  This is key,…

My Gaming Journey – Part 3 – 32/64bit Era

This era of gaming is where things started to get a little more varied. This would essentially be the Playstation/Saturn/N64 era of gaming. Though I am not sure I have ever even seen a Saturn, much less played one. Playstation definitely dominated this era of games, but for my part, I stuck with Nintendo. I also started really pushing into PC gaming as well, but I covered all my PC history last year. The Nintendo 64 was the first console I bought with my own money. I was working by this time, and had plenty of free flowing cash. I…
