Second Nature

There it is, my first Collector's Bounty mount drop.. wasted on the Spawn of Horridon..

Hopefully now the flood gates are opened.

Palworld has rejoined the 100% completion realm.

Another pretty solid update. Fishing is always enjoyable, even if it's the same minigame in every iteration out there, not much you can do to innovate on it. The arena is a cool concept, bit too grindy for the cheevs imo though.

10/10

Why is it, that every time I hurt one of my fingers, it's always the middle one. It's like the universe just knows and feeds me every excuse to be like "Look, I hurt my finger"🖕

Which law does this fall under?

Completion # 80/130 - The Case of the Golden Idle

Another guilty pleasure of mine, point and click games. Click around to uncover all the clues and then arrange them correctly in a mad libs style journal to form the solution for each case.

Achievement Difficulty - 1/5
Overall - 2/5

The latter half of July departures are light which is nice to see.

The huge stand out here though, an absolute must play in my opinion, is Turnip Boy Robs a Bank.

Do yourself a favor and carve out some time for this gem. Tons of fun, very easy and worth every minute.

Not exactly a drop from Collector's Bounty but a Mount nonetheless! When in doubt, make up your own victories. It is a really nice looking mount though, all the best mounts are just bosses you can ride lol

Leaderboards are meaningless and the numbers are just imaginary, but it's still pretty cool to break into the top 200 for gamerscore in Canada.

Completion # 79/130 - Synchro Hedgehogs

As always I love my simple puzzle platformers, this one ups the ante by having you control, wait for it.. 2 synchronized hedgehogs through a series of levels. Mind blowing I know. Good fun though.

I look forward to the day when video games are my primary 9-5 focus.. that's 25 years from now when I retire, but it's going to be glorious!

Sometimes all you need is a little luck..

We had only planned to hop onto Fallout 76 to farm the first boss a few times for more drops. All it takes is a couple of competent randoms to join the group and the next thing you know you've got a full clear on your hands.

I guess that's done now lol

Completion # 78/130 - The Explorer of Night

A nice simple little puzzle platformer where you play as a cat going somewhere, to do something, honestly I didn't pick up on the premise lol but it was cute, fun and fast.

I think we're full up on goals for the year now lol

Both Final Fantasy games are for completion by Sept 30th for the release of Tactics and everything else is by the end of the year.

Much work to be done!

My Bean Dive is already a colossal failure..

The unobtainable cheevs can be unlocked via console command, but console command only works if you haven't unlocked an achievement yet. The work around uses a second account but my PC app won't log in to any other accounts.

Why have you forsaken me?! 😢

Finally making some headway in Fallout 76..

Full Vulcan Power Armor acquired ✅
One phase kill on EN06 Guardian ✅

Now to decide if I want full Troubleshooters or Vanguard's on my Vulcan and keep farming for 4 Star mods. Then it's off to learn the rest of the raid.

This is where I would post all the mounts I've gotten during Collector's Bounty.. if I'd gotten any..

Back for another adventure in Sea of Stars with the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC.

This time we get more story to playthrough. A fantastic addition to an already amazing game.
For the Wheels lovers, there are more challengers to overcome.

Why did no one tell me nuking anywhere in Skyline Valley triggered the event.

I just wasted so much time launching a nuke to not destroy someone's base lol I hate the trade only elitist community in Fallout 76, listing everything for 40k in their vendors.

I just wanted to release some frustration.

Stumbled into someones C.A.M.P while I was out in the real world.. unfortunately nothing for sale in their vendor.

Duty calls 🫡 these backlogs won't take care of themselves lol

Made quick work of the monthly 8 pack thanks to bean dive.. some absolute winners there!

I had such high hopes for Dastardly Duo's in World of Warcraft, but it just feels like a complete dud. I honestly couldn't even tell you which bosses were featured as they just blend in with the trash in a game of aoe in the score circles.

What were your thoughts on the whole thing?

Completion # 77/130 - Super Ninja Miner

Another simplistic puzzle game. Navigate around various levels collecting gems, artifacts, killing bats/spiders and a few bosses.

Some levels were a bit challenging, but overall an easy completion.

Achievement Difficulty - 1/5
Overall - 1/5

That's 15 more games dived for a total of 25.. I think that is going to be my mark for this go around. Doesn't seem like a ton but a 3.66 drop in completion percentage is an absolute mountain.

Now we get to work on earning it all back! and then some!

With Collector's Bounty upon us, what is on the top of your wishlist that you're farming for?

I can't think of many for myself but here's my humble list.

Astral Cloud Serpent
Clutch of Ji-kun
Ashes of Al'ar
Glacial Tidestorm

Looking for inspiration on what else to run.

A little treat for me..

One of my controllers is slowly dying so it's time for a major upgrade.

Two key beliefs that I model in my day to day life.

1. Don't stress over things you cannot control.
2. Don't speak on things that you do not fully understand. Opinions are not gospel.

Two things the internet absolutely struggles with.

I went into Meat Week needing two things and two things only.. The Pepper Shaker has been acquired and now I'm just farming for the Weenie Wagon.

An infographic with the Ghosts of K’aresh logo to the left over a purple void background, and a three-by-three grid of nine boxes to the right, each naming an upcoming feature, along with an image. The upper six boxes are labeled “Launch – August 5” and read as follows: - New Zone: K’aresh - Ecological Succession - New Dungeon: Eco-Dome Al’Dani - New Story + Quests - Reshii Wraps + Phase Diving - New Delve + Updates The bottom three boxes are labeled “Season 3 – August 12” and read as follows: - New Raid: Manaforge Omega - Season 3 Begins - Tazavesh: Hard Mode

The War Within’s next chapter is almost here!

🔮 Ghosts of K’aresh Launches: August 5
⚔️ Season 3 Begins: August 12

I completely get that lol I found comfort in that oddly enough. It was very rewarding when you got to the point of just giving up on the laundry and focusing on the arcade. Definitely made me wish I could do that in real life 😭

Completion # 76/130 - Arcade Paradise

This was the epitome of gaming as escapism, just sit back, relax, forget your shitty real life and live the dream of running a laundromat that you convert into an arcade.
