Notes on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.5 and 5.55 Content, Death Unto Dawn, which I finished more than two months ago at the time of this publication.

Notes on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.4 Content, Futures Rewritten, which I finished well over two months ago at the time of this publication.

Disco Elysium is one of those award-winning games I bought mainly because it was on sale and I heard it was award-winning.

I stumbled upon a new (to me) tactical RPG based on the D&D rules.

Notes on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.3 Content, Reflections in Crystal, which I finished well over a month ago at the time of this publication.

I decided to try out Valheim again.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is good, with some caveats.

Notes on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.2 Content, Echoes of a Fallen Star.

Searching for the next game to play, and also apparently listing every game I’ve looked at recently.

On the seventh morning of New World I think I can confidently report that this game isn’t for me.

Bullet points because I don’t feel like writing an essay.

The worm turns quickly for New World.

New World launched and I was there recording for the historical archives.

Amazon’s New World is about to launch. For real this time. Maybe. Probably.

Notes on the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.1 Content, Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty.

Similar to what I did with Stormblood, I wanted to write a brief high-level overview of the events of the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers expansion story, so I’ll remember it later.

Out of curiosity, I went looking to find some contemporary accounts of why Shadowbringers was The Greatest Final Fantasy Story Ever. Because it wasn’t clear to me.

I recently learned about New Game+ in Final Fantasy XIV, some time earlier in Blaugust, in the Blaugust Discord. I didn’t think it would work very well, but it actually does.

Should I dive headlong into the vortex of Final Fantasy XIV endgame possibilities or should I detox and play something else?

I started into the post-Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quest last night and got a whole two quests in before the game slammed a massive brick wall down in front of me.

I finished the first ending of Shadowbringers. The one before the long series of post-expansion patches.

Yesterday I mentioned how much I worried that Final Fantasy XIV was staggering into their new expansion on duct tape and bailing wire, so I thought today I’d mention the MMORPGs that appear to have a much more solid technology base that I don’t have to worry about.

I’m waking up to this news that Final Fantasy XIV has closed off all the North American Aether servers to new players indefinitely because they can’t handle the strain anymore.

I didn’t even rename the screenshot files this time.

Hey, writing blog posts every day isn’t that fun sometimes. Here’s some screenshots. From that same game again. Because they’re the only screenshots I took yesterday.
