  • Just a Few this Time

    Even though I wasn’t playing all that much last year, I was still buying games. Which in retrospect, seems a bit silly as they’re still sitting, unplayed, staring back at mean mournfully from my library. But those games are old now, and the Winter Sale had new games to buy, so I set out to…

  • Kluwes’ January 2025 Goals

    Happy New Year! Now begins the one to two month period where I constantly write the wrong year. It’s also, what I feel like, the beginning of winter here. No more holidays to look forward to, only grey skies, cold weather, and snow until May. We’ll have to find some fun, indoor activities, to do…

  • Wrapping Up December 2024

    This month, I… December Goals Meet my Storygraph “Pages Goal” for the year: I read more this year than I ever have since I started tracking books. My goal was 14,000 pages this year and I not only met that, but exceeded it by 800 pages. A lot of that had to do with spending…

  • Crime Bossin’ in Rockay City

    What drew me to pick Crime Boss: Rockay City – First Month Edition for this month’s Blaugust Reviews Humble Choice was the silly name. At first glance, it sounds like the name of a poorly translated JRPG. Even taking off First Month Edition, which refers to the extra DLCs included, it’s generic sounding enough to…

  • Returning to Winterland

    The Return to Winterland event in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator kicked off last week. Like the Cruising Greece event, Return to Winterland has both a personal goal and a community goal to work towards. The personal goal is to deliver to each of the five depots in Winterland: The Christmas Market…

  • My 2024 Steam Replay

    I had forgotten that Steam does a year end summary until I saw some other bloggers posting theirs. I must have missed the giant splash page on the home page of Steam when it was up right before the Winter Sale kicked off. Luckily, I was still able to find the link from this Steam…

  • Cruising Greece in ETS2

    At the beginning of the moth, the Greece DLC released for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Along with it comes the “Cruising Greece” event which challenges players to collectively drive 200,000,000km while delivering cargo to any city in the country. There’s also a personal goal to deliver goods to or from all 15 cities on the…

  • End of the Year Book Tag 2024

    I was tagged for this by fellow Blaugustan JD Weber at Alligators and Anerysms. I’ve been mulling over writing about books here in some form for a while. This seemed like a great way to dip my toes into that. I’ve never participated in a blog tag before but it sure is nice to have…

  • I Guess I’m Playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 Now?

    Now if you would have told me, even a month ago, that I would be writing about Euro Truck Simulator 2 I wouldn’t have believed you. ETS2 was one of the first games I bought on Steam almost exactly 10 years ago, according to my purchase history. I picked it up because it was on…

  • Kluwes’ December 2024 Goals

    It always feels like I end up speed-running the last three months of the year. We tend to save our vacations for early spring and late fall when the weather at home isn’t as nice. Inevitably, those month pass by quick. Factor in the day to day at work slowing down as people start to…

  • MissionChief: Extinguishing Fires Near Me

    My gaming interests are fairly cyclical in nature. I can always count on them to come back around. It’s one of the reasons I never regret buying something even if I don’t play it. Eventually I’m going to come back to it. This turn of the wheel appears to have landed on “games that use…

  • Jack Move Impressions

    Jack Move is the game I picked for this month’s Blaugust Reviews – Humble Choice. There were quite a few games in this month’s Humble Choice that piqued my interest, which hasn’t happened in a long time. What drew me to Jack Move was its cyberpunk setting, pretty pixel art, and a turn-based combat system,…
