After three-and-some odd years, I have finally caught Covid.

I love playing tabletop role-playing games like D&D or Pathfinder 2e.

I don’t know what I did to my computer for it to threaten me like this.

I was going to use a header image of the Titans from WoW because of Zuel’s question but the picture of BT from Titanfall 2 came up so there you go, my new headcanon is that the Titans from WoW look like the Titans from Titanfall. 

I still remember how I almost didn't even play World of Warcraft, and was on the verge of quitting.

With the imminent arrival of Diablo 4 Season 2 -- the Season of Blood -- the game is revamping many current Unique items as well as adding a bunch of new Unique items for players to hunt down.

I enjoy the character of Marc Remillard from Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile because he is such an overwhelmingly smug character, and yet still affable and relatable -- able to be friendly with the protagonists of the story, yet still swan in at the end after having beaten them down with his psionic powers and say "As you can see, I've won.

I've been musing about this one since Liz Harper mentioned it on the podcast this week -- when talking about 'fandom,' what are we talking about, exactly?

So no one told me that I’d end up playing so much Metroid Dread when I started on Phantom Liberty.

Fortunately for me, when I get too upset and tense from being constantly chased by a killer robot, I can go into Starfield and be chased by an extremely sparkly person in a faceless helmet. Oh, and also often killer robots, mustn’t forget those.

What I’m saying is I’m spending a lot of time being chased by things in my off hours and it’s a touch exhausting.

Every character I play in most RPGs and MMORPGs are unique to me.

Do you guys remember the first time a game made you stop and say what the heck was that?
