Alone Together in Animal Crossing
For the last 2 weeks, we’ve been playing Animal Crossing every day. Between my wife and our little island is coming along nicely. We’ve just built the tailor shop and a campsite and are currently working on paying for another bridge. Animal Crossing’s local multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired. For one, the first…

Deja vu
If there’s one constant in my gaming habits it’s this: if I start a game and leave it for a few months, the next time I want to play I will start over. I can’t get back into it from the point I left off. Reasons being I won’t remember what’s going on in…

I Don’t Mind Time Gates
As I wait for a raccoon to upgrade my home I have come to the realization that I play a lot of games that use time gates. Animal Crossing, Warframe, and Trove all feature this little “mechanic” and they all use real-world time as the gate. And these gates aren’t small. The mere concept of…

The Worst Seasonal Event Ever
Here’s an unpopular opinion: I don’t think the Animal Crossing Bunny Day event is that bad. Is Zipper super creepy? Yes, his dead eyes do stare into your soul for a tad too long. Is it annoying to get eggs instead of materials/fish? Kind of. But you know what? Shooting down all those packages has…

April 2020 Goals
I have a feeling there just won’t be as many jokes today. It’s still a very serious time for everyone. I received news yesterday that the date for working at home has been extended until at least May 1st. I didn’t think I’d miss going in to work. Working from home was cool for 2…

The Magic of Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing am I right? Have you had the pleasure of explaining what it is to someone who’s never played it yet? Here was my attempt at explaining this game to my wife. Wife: What do you want for your birthday this year? Me: Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Wife: What’s that? Me: It’s a game…

A Nice Suprise
With the craziness of the last few weeks I’ve kind of fallen out of the blogosphere. I haven’t been able to read or write as many posts as I would like. So imagine my suprise today when I opened up my Feedly to find out about Blapril! I’m so not prepared for this…but I…

Let’s Talk About Warframe
A quick look back shows I have exactly 0 posts about Warframe. Which is weird because I have 120 hours in the game. Making it one of my most played games. But that’s because my gaming group has never stuck with it long enough for me to form any kind of opinion on it. 3…

Things are weird
It’s been about a week now since Ohio went into quarantine. Last week felt like that part in a made for TV disaster movie where you’re getting to know all the characters. This week feels like when the storms on the horizon and all the main characters are waiting for it to hit. Fortunately, I…

Backlogged: Epistory -Typing Chronicles
Time to Finish: 7 hours I didn’t learn to type until the year after I graduated from college. I had a job that required a lot of data entry and it was frustrating relying on the ole’ hunt and peck method. It turns out, typing wasn’t actually a hard skill to pick up I just…

March Goals

Parsec: The Client Can only Hear the Game Music.
I found a lack of information regarding this issue so I wanted to write something up in case anyone else is running into this. Sound Issues We ran into an issue where the client could hear the in-game music and some of the menu sound effects but couldn’t hear in-game sound effects or voices. Sometimes…
