July 2022 Gaming Goals
June Recap June started with the delivery of my Steam Deck. I tried a whole bunch of games on it but eventually settled in to playing Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. I thought I would be using the Steam Deck as a stand alone device for certain games but mostly I’ve been using it as…

Tying Up Loose Ends
The end of the story in Yonder came rather quickly. I didn’t quite feel finished with the game once the credits rolled. There were some leftover quests I hadn’t done yet, spirits I hadn’t found, and a pesky murk or two left on the map. The end of the main story does unlock some post…

Backlogged – Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
Platform: PC/ Steam Deck Time to Finish: 12 hours I was expecting to write more posts about Yonder than I have. I had so much fun playing it that by the time I got around to writing about it it was over. Quite suddenly, I might add. The main quest actually isn’t that long consisting…

Backlogged – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
Time to Finish: 2.5 hours* It’s always nice when a game that I’m looking forward to comes out unexpectedly. I’m not sure how long ago I put this one on my wish list but it has been a while for sure. Every few months I would see it on the list, click on the store…

Steam Next Fest: More Demos to Install and Never Play
Hold on a second. Didn’t we just do this? Checks notes… Ah yes, way back in February. Well then, it’s time to wade our way through another virtual bazaar teeming with demos. Complete with live streams that follow you around, hawking their wares, form page to page! I guess I know what I’ll be writing…

I’m Not a Fan of Hard Games
This is a fact I have to remind myself from time to time. This isn’t to say I don’t like a challenge in my video games but that I don’t like when difficulty is a core feature of a game. One or two difficult bosses in a game is a challenge. The game only having…

A Visit to Wimblewick and Bobbintoff
I have one more quest to complete in the Grasslands area. A sailor is looking for his missing crew and he’s given me some hints as to where they could be. Surprisingly, they are not marked on the mini map or glowing off in the distance brighter than the sun so it appears I’ll actually…

Wandering Around Yonder
According to my last and only save file, I last played Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles in 2017. I thought I had written a post about it at some point but when I went back to read it there was no post to be found published, in drafts, or otherwise. I must have not gotten…

My Steam Deck Has Arrived
I reserved my 512 GB Steam Deck last July, 25 minutes or so after the reservations opened. After many months of waiting and many weeks of checking r/SteamDeck for reservation queue times I finally got the email to order on May 19th. It took a few days to ship and arrived on May 25th. So…

XCOM 2 Blogger Succession Game – Mission 27: Operation Half-Eaten Rose
At the conclusion of the last round Rakuno offered some advice to make contact with Europe to do the story mission or Blacksite facility there. I decided I would start there and see what I could do. Looking at our resources we are running low on just about everything. Including intel, which is exactly what…

Steam Next Fest: The Demo Flea Market is Back
The Steam Next Fest started yesterday. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a week long window shopping event with hundreds of demos to download and play. Sounds like a good idea on the surface right? For the most part it is, if you can wade through the mountain of games to find ones actually interest you. There…

Backlogged: Sizable
Time to Finish: 2.4 hours I got Sizeable in the Yogcast Jingle Jam 2021 bundle. A bundle I bought mostly to pick up Wildermyth and support charity. It also came with a few titles that had been on my wish list for year but never got around to buying. Sizeable was not one of these.…
