In the off chance you were wondering what I’ve been up to since my last blog post, here’s part of your answer.
Yep, I’ve been been doing the incredibly important task known as Gaming. But Cosmia, you may object, the date says 2024. It’s 2026 now! Right you are if you caught that. The truth is I originally wrote this blog a couple summers ago, but I decided to bring it back from the dead. The other post I’m working on will take a while, and reworking this one takes… y’know, less long. Also considering the recent breakout of war in the Middle East, this game seems increasingly relevant.
To be clear, gaming is not the only thing I’ve been up to, but I’m not going to get into that here. I’ve got my work, I’ve got my goals, I’ve got my stretch goals, and I’ve got my elaborate distractions. The way I balance all of these needs work, but I don’t consider the distractions worthless. You can get some insight from them. Like I did with Unicorn Overlord. It is not common for me to spend this much time on any one game. I would never stick with it this long if I didn’t enjoy it substantially. I didn’t love everything about it, but I did love a lot of it. I’m fond of tactical RPGs and Unicorn Overlord delivered. I’ve got quite a few thoughts built up over that playtime, so here’s where I’m putting them out. So read on if you’d like to see that. Be warned, there will be spoilers.
