Video Games I Have Spent the Most Time Playing
I saw this idea from Angelika Oles and thought it would be a fun idea. Most of the games featured on this list are my all-time favorite games. By no means is this every game I've ever played or the true total amount. As I've switched computers several times over the years, and the Nintendo Switch gives a rough estimate with only 20 games displayed. One of the games on this list wasn't displayed but I based the time on how long the game takes on average. If I had the stats for how much time I played The Sims 2 and 3 those would be on here too, but sadly I don't know the answer to that as I played on my dad's laptop and a computer I left behind years ago. Plus, those were played on physical disks so I don't have those stats. I also grouped games of a series together as I feel that gives a more accurate portrayal of the time I spent in those worlds.…
View PostLooking Back at the Games I Played in 2022
I played a lot of games in the last year. Typically, I don't do a wrap-up type post in regard to the games I played. But I figured why not this year. I'm not really going to go into my thoughts on every game as most of them have a review on my blog. I'll link those where appropriate. I also included a highlight reel from my twitch streams, since a majority of the games were featured in this video (as well as some body painting but the majority are on the games). So, what all did I play?…
View PostMy Favorite Cozy Video Games
I love a cozy game. Those games that you just throw on for a relaxing time that don't require a lot of brain power. Or they could if you really wanted to push things, but for the most part, it's just a chill time. So, I thought I would go through the games I turn to when I want to play something chill.…
View PostWhich is Worse? Animal Crossing’s Tom Nook or Stardew Valley’s Mayor Lewis
I don't entirely know why I decided to write about this today. It was a thought that came into my head, while I was cleaning up my island in Animal Crossing. Which Mayor or Government Official in a video game is worse between Tom Nook and Mayor Lewis? One of them gets a very bad reputation while the other is hit or miss on people's opinions. So, I thought I would compare the two and then come up with a conclusion to this question.…
View PostStardew Valley: Crops That Bring in the Most Money
I have been playing A LOT of Stardew Valley recently. Not only playing it but watching other people stream the game. And at this point in my games, I'm just working on turning profits. The community center is complete in both of my game saves. I have a farm over on Ginger Island (still working through unlocking everything there) and in one of my saves I have Skull Cavern 100 Level challenge complete. So... profit! Profit means crops, but there are a lot of crop options in the game both at Pierre's and the Desert Oasis. Not only that but they change by the season. These are your best options when it comes to crops to make the most money.…
View PostMy Favorite Video Games of the Past Decade (2010s)
Since the decade is coming to a close and I've played a lot of video games in the last ten years, I thought I'd go down my list of favorite games that came out in the last decade or that I heavily played during that time period. These are not in order, as I enjoy these all for different reasons.…
View PostStardew Valley: Gift Guide
In Stardew Valley, in order to gain friendship with the community you need to give the residents gifts found throughout the world. Everyone has different gifts they absolutely love and others they cannot stand. So I thought I would put together a little guide on what every characters loves the most. Now there are some universals that apply to every villager so that is listed at the top of this list. You can gift villagers gifts once a day but up to a max of twice a week. …
View PostStardew Valley: Meet the Eligible Bachelors and Bachelorettes
One game that I'm obsessed with playing is Stardew Valley. It's one of those games were you can advance the game if you want to or ignore all the social aspects. And I go back and forth between trying to advance my standings with the community and being the hermit farmer that talks to no one. But one thing I always try to do, is get myself either a lovely wife or husband. So let's go over each of the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.…
View PostStardew Valley: Essential Tips
When I first started playing Stardew Valley, there were a lot of things that I did out of order or incorrectly. That ultimately left me frustrating and not wanting to continue playing that game save anymore. But overtime, I've gotten the hang of it and found a few things that really helped make the game better/easier. I'm still by no means an expert on the game, but it's made the game a lot better in my opinion.…
View PostStardew Valley: Corporations vs. Local Businesses
Stardew Valley is a farming game where you can obviously farm, but also go fishing, get married and have a family, mine, and make friends with the locals. But one aspect of the game is also how you handle upgrades/maintenance in the town, you can either help the spirits by completing recipes or purchasing them from a corporation. So you ultimately have to pick between local business of the town or choosing to screw them over by supporting Jojo Mart. And though I haven't reached the point in my own gameplay of choosing a side (though I could), I thought it would be fun to go over the pros and cons of both.…
