The difficulty change to Oblivion, where enemy and player damage are separate sliders, has revolutionized the game for me. No longer do I need to choose between the game having some challenge with damage sponge enemies, or fun combat but Im nearly immortal. I can have the best of both. #Oblivion

Im trying to break my habit of never resuming old saves; I always start fresh if its been too long. But my Oblivion Remastered save had like 40 hours in it already, so I dove back in. Oblivion was unintentionally hilarious within minutes. I love this game. 😂🥹 #Oblivion

🎮 Xbox Showcase in June 🎮 Summer Games Fest in June 🎮 2/3 of my Day One games in July 🎮 The third day one game in August 🎮 Blizzcon in September The next several months for me are filled with excitement, absolutely stacked, I can not wait! 🥹

I don't really experience gaming "ruts", so much as "misfires". Sometimes after finishing a game, Ill decide on whats next and just be totally off the mark. The game I play is great and all, just wrong timing, wrong headspace, wrong game. I always need to take a few days to reset when this happens.

After a few shitty renovation days... today was a good day. :) I love nothing more than those "the storm breaks" moments and you can tell the sun is metaphorically coming out again.

Yesterday was a horrific day, I am glad its over; but today has the capacity equally as crappy. Some days just sucks. Some times just suck. We just get through them and try to remember what's really important. 💚

Beat Gears of War 2 last night, and it was even better than I remembered it being. ⚙️ I'll be replaying 3 sooner than later, then I can finally play 4 and 5 for the first time! 🔥 #GearsOfWar2

That's a wrap on Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty! 💚 I loved every second of this. Did every side mission. Its just peak real time strategy. This was a replay, but the next two entries are not and I look forward to new-to-me Starcraft 2! En Taro Tassadar. 🔥 #Starcraft2

Normally I have my next game down to a small handful of choices. That is not the case this time. 😂 • The Outer Worlds 2 • Diablo 2 • Far Cry • Halo 4 • Gears of War 3 • DOOM Eternal DLC • a Zelda • Half-Life 2 Episode 1 & 2

Played more Gears of War 2 last night, Im on Act V. Very, very close to the end and will absolutely finish next session. It has been AWESOME. Ive had a blast, and I look forward to playing more of these games. ⚙️ #GearsOfWar2

The plumber wasn't too awful today, most bad news was right at the start but after that is was smooth. But it took a lot out of me, stress wise. Contractor called to apologize to say they can't make it out tomorrow and need to resume Friday. Im thrilled. I need a day to recover. 😂

Plumber is at my house and it isn't going well. I just need to take a deep breath and remember there are worse things and whatever this ends up being Ill survive it.

Thinking about what games come next! I like to plan out my next games, but I also don't stick to it like its law; I play what I want. But as of right now, these are likely the games up next to bat for me! 🔥 • Far Cry • Diablo 2 • The Outer Worlds 2 • DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods DLC

I'm at work today, enjoying the games I'm playing. Have some renovation work going on around the house. Busy as hell. Things are well I just don't have a ton to say currently! Hope you're all doing well, having fun out there and living your best lives. :D

I am such a sucker for the "Fuck yeah, Humanity!" bit. Anything that shows us uniting together as a species against a common threat always does it for me. It's one of many reasons I love Gears of War. ⚙️ #GearsOfWar2

Started Gears of War 2! ⚙️ Man, what a game. Its immediately fantastic and looks unbelievable. Can't believe its almost 20 years old. #GearsOfWar2

With Onimusha 2 beat, and Starcraft 2 progressing well, Im ready to go back to Sera. ⚙️ #GearsOfWar2

I finished Onimusha 2 last night, and I have to say it was significantly better than even my highest hopes. 🥹 Jubei is beyond stoic, the combat was a blast, it improved on the first in almost every way. I sincerely hope Konami is working on giving the third game the HD treatment. 🔥 #Onimusha2

Backloggd is doing a fan vote for "Best of 1998", and my votes have been cast! Fun! :D

Good morning! ☕ Today is a new day. Feeling significantly better today than I did yesterday. And I can't even blame a good nights sleep, I was up until midnight or so playing Starcraft 2. 😂 I can't wait for this years Blizzcon to see what they're cooking with that rumored Starcraft game!! 👀

I woke up and immediately chose violence today. REALLY bad mood currently. Let's hope this settles fast and changes, a coffee can really work miracles. But man, I am *combative* this morning.

Busy week ahead of me! Starting Wednesday, a contractor will be out to do a small renovation and I have that same week to finish a pile of yard work around my house. Trying to build up the motivation, because I really need to put in a solid week here and then I can relax. 😊

I'm so excited for EverQuest Legends. I'm pretty sure I've settled on a Human Paladin/Cleric/Wizard. July can't come fast enough. I want to grind and loot and explore and get lost in 1999. 🥹 #EverQuest

Progressing through Onimusha 2! 🔥 The Dokoutsui, the big hammer, is my favorite weapon no question. This game is SIGNIFICANTLY better than I expected, Im having such a good time with it. 🥹 I didn't think I'd like Jubei like I did Samanosuke, but the dude is unintentionally hilarious. 😂 #Onimusha2

Played some Onimusha 2 last night. Played some Starcraft 2 this morning.

Alongside Starcraft 2, I'm going to be playing through Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny for the first time! I love the original Onimusha, and I never got around to the second or third. Now that #2 has released in HD, I'm excited to give it a go!! 🥰 #Onimusha2

I'll be wrapping up my time with World of Warcraft soon for a few months! I still need to complete the final campaign, The War of Light and Shadow; but after that I'm going to take a little break before inevitably returning later in the year! 🥰 Excited to play some other games now too! 💚

I've begun my replay of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty! 🔥 It immediately showcases why its the best RTS ever made, incredible game. Back in the day I only finished Wings of Liberty-- Ive never played Heart of the Swarm or Legacy of the Void. That changes soon. 💪 #Starcraft2

That's a wrap! ✅️ Final Fantasy VII Remake was a great game. The actual gameplay was fine, not typically my cup of tea. But the world, characters, music, story; all of that was magnificent. It was amazing to see this world in its full glory and I look forward to Rebirth! #FinalFantasyVIIRemake 💚

Saved a ways into Chapter 17, not a ton left now!! 💪 This has been a fantastic game. Not my usual cup of tea, and I admit, it is being proped up by just being Final Fantasy VII. But I've had a lot of fun, and it has been amazing to see this world fully realized. #FinalFantasyVIIRemake

It lives. Fan replaced, mission successful! 🥰

I was going to bring my Xbox to work tonight to repair it but I forgot it at home. So I am driving back home to retrieve it. 😂 Then: Xbox surgery!

I am looking forward to tomorrow. Nothing on the go for me, quiet day. I'm going to soak that in, shits been busy lately. Games, quiet and rest.

I have acquired another Alive Sausage for my house. The Weiner Ratio has increased 100%. Norman and Clarence! 🥹 They got along nearly instantly hahaha!

My Xbox broke. Warcraft what have you done?! 😂

I finally got back to FF7 Remake last night, Warcrafts permanent grasp has loosened a little haha! What a game so far, I am absolutely loving it and cant wait to see it through!! On Chapter 14 now, not a ton left. 💚 #FinalFantasyVIIRemake

Yeah this was amazing! 🥹 A joy the entire time. It did exactly what I wanted it to; be a basic fun story packed with source material references. I teared up at one reference in particular. I dont know why anyone needed this to have the storytelling depth of a Scorsese thriller. It was excellent. 🥹

Good morning! ☕ Posting this from my desktop this morning drinking coffee. Got some errands to run, a house to tidy; already reached out to contractors for my bathroom fix. Going to try and be productive. 💪

I still think the original EverQuest keyart to be one of the most stunning pieces of video game art ever made. It captures my imagination in a way few pieces of art do. It has that perfect blend of high fantasy and situational awkwardness. I love it so much. 🥹

I did it. Excuse delays in my replies as I adjust. I have free reign at work, but I'll make time at home too. Let's... let's see if I stick to it. As much as I love being online (thus why I'm not leaving entirely or anything of the sort), it is disrupting my life now. Time to reel it in.

I haven't done it yet LMFAO

I'm going to make another attempt at removing Bluesky and Discord from my phone (but keeping desktop access at home and at work!). I'm trying (and routinely failing) to get away from losing so much time scrolling; to achieve better use and balance of my time. But I'm going to try again.

If gaming hardware approached a near 4-figure point of entry across the board, I will simply be out. I'll continue to purchase old desktops off eBay that can run mostly everything prior to now on potato settings, emulate N64, and play WoW and call it a fucking day. 😂

Good morning! ☕ I finished the World of Warcraft: Midnight campaign last night! Awesome quests, awesome story, awesome time. I am excited to move onto some end game content and finish leveling my alt now! What an amazing expansion this has been so far! 🥹 #WorldOfWarcraft

Good morning! ☕ Back at work today for the dayshift. Hoping this coffee turns me around because I am nearly asleep where I stand lmao

I can feel my second age of MMO's upon me, and the only series I really care about are World of Warcraft and EverQuest. Over the next few years I plan on enjoying these games in all their various forms with regularity; albeit one at a time, of course haha. I still want to play other games! 😂

Good morning! ☕️ I cant stop thinking about EverQuest Legends. I am so in on this, I will be there day one. Im glad its a few months away so I can really dive hard into WoW Midnight Season 1 before I take a short break for this. 😍 #EverQuest
