Melons were planted because we needed one more item for the community center bundle that would unlock the greenhouse, and the choices were melons or pumpkins. That wasn’t much of a choice, since pumpkins \[…\] ## [Stars Reach Arrives in Steam Early Access](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/stars-reach-arrives-in-early-access/) _2026-08-19 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ Yesterday was launch day for Stars Reach, effectively at least. There are not many games that go into early access that then turn around and get another bite at the launch apple when they decided to exit. Palworld is the only one I can think of off hand that came out of early access stronger \[…\] ## [Planet Crafter – Wrecks and Portals and Over Abundance](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/18/planet-crafter-wrecks-and-portals-and-over-abundance/) _2026-08-18 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ We have blown through the age of abundance in Planet Crafter and have reached a point of over abundance. We have too much stuff. I know, I know, inventory management in games like this often makes you feel like you have too much stuff. And we have spent most of our time with the game \[…\] ## [Blaugust 2026 – Past Half Way, Creator Appreciation, and What I Write About](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/17/blaugust-2026-past-half-way-and-what-i-write-about/) _2026-08-17 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ We are now onto the backside of Blaugust, the halfway point is just behind us in the rear view mirror and a mere two weeks left before things are wrapped up. I have not gone in on some of the group writing projects or weekly themes so far, and I am not going to get \[…\] ## [TAGN Fantasy Critic League 2026 – Week Thirty-Three and Waiting for Scores](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/16/tagn-fantasy-critic-league-2026-week-thirty-three-and-waiting-for-scores/) _2026-08-16 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ As expected there were no titles set to launch for week thirty-three. We have nothing on the calendar until the last week of August. So the same problem next week. I may give next week’s post a pass if nothing happens. But we left off last time with two titles that were still waiting for \[…\] ## [A Brief History of Blaugust](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/15/a-brief-history-of-blaugust/) _2026-08-15 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ Brief for specific definitions of the word I suppose. Blog posts, even long blog posts, are brief in relation to The Stand or the works of Robert Jordan. The problem here is that I wrote that title at the top of an empty blog post, so I cannot really tell how deep this is going \[…\] ## [How Bad is Multiboxing and How Do We Fix It?](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/14/how-bad-is-multiboxing-and-how-do-we-fix-it/) _2026-08-14 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ A few weeks back over on Reddit, in the EVE Online subreddit, the whole place spent about ten days ranting about the evils of multiboxing and how it was ruining the game and that CCP/Fenris needed to DO SOMETHING about it NOW! That is always the way. If nothing else, Reddit carries with it a \[…\] ## [Back to School Jealousy...aka Missing Friends!](https://kdocter.substack.com/p/back-to-school-jealousyaka-missing) _2026-08-14 · Karen Docter · Karen Docter & K.L.

It feels like you get a \[…\] ## [EverQuest Legends – First Peek into this Strange New, Strange Old World](https://tagn.wordpress.com/2026/08/12/everquest-legends-first-peek-into-this-strange-new-strange-old-world/) _2026-08-12 · Wilhelm Arcturus · The Ancient Gaming Noob_ EverQuest Legends launched at the end of July. I stayed clear of the beta and the pre-order stuff. I didn’t want to help test, I just wanted to see the end result. I was, however, committed to the final product. I have been on about Daybreak serving this particular non-hardcore slice of potential fans who \[…\] ## [Save with community-voted codes (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/k11ksp8ZwXN4) _2026-08-12 · **Sponsored**_ Search thousands of community-verified coupon codes — 100% free, no account needed. ## [Languishing Mindsets...aka Old School vs New](https://kdocter.substack.com/p/languishing-mindsetsaka-old-school) _2026-08-07 · Karen Docter · Karen Docter & K.L.

This month has been very… exercise-y. Which is, for the record, not normal for me. For the previous year my only source of exercise has basically been walking, but that’s not a great fitness activity for me. When my regular walks entered the 10-15km territory it got more and more annoying to find the time and/or an interesting route. I also managed to injure my… ## [Ah!

I’ve gone from being mostly sedentary to struggling to not go out for a cheeky bike ride on a day that’s meant to be a rest day. Maybe this is what a midlife crisis feels like? Anyway, one of the things I’ve enjoyed about this development is seeing my personal best efforts gradually go up. There’s something incredibly rewarding about… ## [Series Bible aka Tiptoe Through the Tulips...Mums...Carna...Wait...Velociraptors?](https://kdocter.substack.com/p/series-bible-aka-tiptoe-through-the) _2026-07-17 · Karen Docter · Karen Docter & K.L.

I’m not sure I like that at all. June saw some truly horrible hot weather in the UK; it’s almost like murdering the planet with CO₂ emissions was a terrible, terrible idea. My dodgy knee that I mentioned way back in the April post feels like it’s finally back to normal. I had low expectations of the physio… ## [A Cop Hero in the Spotlight...Jake Stefani](https://kdocter.substack.com/p/a-cop-hero-in-the-spotlightjake-stefani) _2026-06-26 · Karen Docter · Karen Docter & K.L.

This is the first one I’ve felt reluctant to write, and I think it’s because I feel like I didn’t really do anything last month. Other than play a lot of World of Warcraft. Website updates No new posts this month, but I finished off the refactoring I mentioned in the last update . It’s been a very satisfying process, and working on the site feels a lot less… ## [Pay attention to your whole-home battery’s warranty terms](https://trycatch.dev/2026/05/23/pay-attention-to-your-whole-home-batterys-warranty-terms/) _2026-05-23 · Sasha · trycatch.dev_ I've recently been looking at getting solar panels with a battery for my house (I decided not to proceed just yet) and something struck me as particularly odd: Internet connectivity requirements for battery warranties. ## [Monthly Meanderings: April 2026](https://chameth.com/monthly-meanderings-2026-04/) _2026-05-01 · Chameth.com_ It’s apparently been a whole month since the last edition of Monthly Meanderings . Not sure when that happened. This month I’ve been to a LAN party, had an MRI, and have been trying unsuccessfully to get my doctor to change a prescription. The latter two are not doing much to help shake that middle-aged feeling I mentioned last month… Website updates Another pair of blog posts for this month: The…
