Games, geekery and fun
I have a fraught relationship with social media (I suspect I am not alone in this). About 20% of the time social media is a source of joy, laughter and useful info. About 20% of the time it is a source of frustration, anger and irritation. The rest of the time it is kind of [ ] The post A break from Social Media, and musing about attention spans. appeared first on Dragonchasers .
The Planet Crafter is yet another survival-box game that happened to hit Xbox Game Pass just as my Solarpunk infatuation was starting to wane. (Solarpunk was a great game. I d just done pretty much everything there was to do.) Crafting a whole planet, though? That sounded like a serious challenge so I took it for [ ] The post Early Days in The Planet Crafter appeared first on Dragonchasers .
Hell is Us hit Game Pass a little bit ago. It s a game that I was curious about based on previews and teasers I d caught during various not-E3 events. Figured I d give it a go. I didn t make it far.

I mentioned over on Mastodon that I was coming to the end of my time with Solarpunk, not because I m tired of the game but just because I ve unlocked pretty much everything [I think] other than decorative items and I am not much of a decorator (sadly). I never even really intended to play Solarpunk. [ ] The post A High-Five for the Solarpunk Devteam appeared first on Dragonchasers .
Yeah that there is a tortured title. Last month I caught up in Neverness to Everness but playing it had given me the gacha itch, leading me back to Wuthering Waves, which I played while I waited for NTE version 1.2 to drop. It was a pleasant enough interlude and I enjoyed refamiliarizing myself with [ ] The post Wuthering Waves Gacha d Me Back appeared first on Dragonchasers .
Late at night while I m trying hard to get my brain to shut down so I can sleep (if I wasn t employed my awake hours would probably be something like 11 AM to 3 AM; I m most awake and alert after the sun sets) I often turn to YouTube and specifically videos that don t make [ ] The post Has Souls-Like Killed Action Games For Me? appeared first on Dragonchasers .
I really wanted to steal Tipa s I Know What I Did Last Weekend title but that would be gauche. I have fond memories of quite a few outdoorsy 4th of July celebrations from the days when I lived on Long Island. We d get up early, set up a water smoker full of savory treats, then [ ] The post Celebrating America s Birthday with Three Days of Gaming appeared first on Dragonchasers .
I think I ve mentioned that I bought a Switch 2. I m liking it a lot and have been using it pretty much every day. Rather than running out and buying new games I m trying to play the handful I own from the Switch 1 days. One of those games is Octopath Traveller.

This is going to be really short and is basically for Bhagpuss and Mailvaltar. I watched the Neverness to Everness v1.2 preview show [that s a YouTube link; Hotta labs doesn t let us embed their videos, I guess I get an error when I try] today and they announced the next two upcoming characters.

I m surprised to be here reporting to you all that I am still playing Solarpunk. It has managed to wriggle its way into my currently playing queue somehow. I can t even articulate why. It s in so many ways your standard crafting game. You collect materials, build things, and those things lead to you building better [ ] The post I m Still a Solarpunk appeared first on Dragonchasers .
