Sky: CotL – Season of Moomin

It's time for a new season in Sky: Children of the Light.  This is another tie in season like the Season of the Little Prince and Season of Aurora.  This time around the world of Moomin and Moominvalley with the Season of Moomin. So, in case you are like me, and in the US and (probably) a bit confused as to what a Moomin is, I figure a bit of a brief description is probably in order.  I've only barely heard of this property at all, and only recently a few months ago when I saw an add for some…

What I’ve Been Playing – Boring Gamer Edition

I wish it were more exciting this week, but it's kind of more of the same.  I'm admittedly in a bit of a rut in my gaming lately. Overwatch I almost wasn't playing this anymore, again.  It's starting to reach a point where it's more frustrating than fun again.  Last weekend had a trial round for the upcoming new hero Juno (maybe it was two weekends ago?).  Juno seems, a little lame honestly.  She is a healer, but it kind of feels like an "easy mode" style healer.  She doesn't need to toggle between healing and damage, so you can…

Sky Children of the Light 5th Anniversary

With the 5th Anniversary even now closed out, I wanted to take a moment to share some random shots and comments on the various activities. I didn't spend as much time in the game doing things as I feel like I should have, but also, it was a bit chaotic, which kind of feels like a regular problem for some of these events. I did not realize until last minute that the portals took you to the special gallery areas. I think for the most part, I managed to catch everything at least once. There were the two wireframe galleries,…

2024 Days of Color in Sky:CotL

I have been playing Sky for a few years now but somehow I have missed the Days of Color event. Twice I think even. I have been waiting for this one to come along, for kind of a dumb reason, it's the only way to (non hacky) access the space way up above the 8 Person Door puzzle area. The Days of Color is essentially Sky's Pride Event for Pride Month. Everything is rainbow themed. In fact, it was originally called Days of Rainbow. There are a bunch of Rainbow themed cosmetics available during this event and, like the recent…

What I’ve Been Playing – Idling For Hats Edition

A new year, a new time to try to build new habits. Hah ha ha, yeah right... probably. Anyway, I picked up a slew of new-ish games over the holidays in various sales, and I look forward to forgetting that I wanted to play them over the next few months. Off the top of my head, I picked up, yet to really play, Spider-man Miles Morales, Alan Wake 2 and Alan Wake Remastered, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Plus some cheapies in bundles or randomly, A bunch of Oddworld Games, Need for Speed Payback, Tron…

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…

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…
