Hi! I'm DrowishDwarf

(you may know me as bonkas-gaming-stash)

This blog is a home for all of my gaming no matter the device it's on or the game genre. There'll be screenshots, thoughts, videos and more (but mostly screenshots). I may link to other posts or videos but I'm unlikely to reblog anything here.

I've recently worked out how to get screenshots off my consoles so expect some more screenshots soon.

If you're curious what I've been up to my games are below. This includes my faves, those I'm currently playing, those I want to pick up and those I've dropped (along with why I've dropped it).

I'm trying out Eastshade. I wanted to play a non-combative open world game and this was pretty strongly recommended. It's gorgeous.

Now if only I could work out how to not freeze while walking around at night. 🥶 I'm trying to find that lost architect guy. It'd be nice to find more boards too. I want more easels.

So I started playing Baldur's Gate 3 and I am having a blast. I'm currently at level 3 in Act 1. Checkout my Tav, the Lolth-sworm drow, Krisilune. I love her.

It's fun seeing what actions and dialogue options have opened up because of the character specs. Makes me curious about what other character types get. So far it's been mostly a boon since I'm still dealing with the druid grove.

I'm glad all the characters level up with me, that makes things easier

I'm Hooked On This Now!

After another excellent video from Stupendium I decided to pick up a new game. Fallen London. It's a free text-based browser game about a Steampunk themed London that falls deep underground (so deep hell is its literal neighbour) for no known reason. It's very Choose-Your-Own-Adventurey and it's loads of fun.

It's really funny in the beginning when it's asks for your sex. Instead of male-female-other it's lord-lady-why do you even care do you have nothing better to do, which is hilarious. You can choose how they address you too. I chose Madam. And of all the ways to start a story, they chose a prison break. XD

Seriously, I've only been here for a day and this game has been nothing less than an absolute delight. Just look at how much I've got done already. I know what I'll be doing from now on.

You've got to check this out.

I have a family full of meatheads. 😅

6 strength specialists, 3 charisma (artists), 1 about to age out the leadership room and absolutely no intellects at all. 😆

Atleast there's a good amount of artists. Else this kingdom is headed to ruin

Yay! I just got my tenth lover. I've now got Ian, Darren, Jocelyn, Kristen, Anne, Cordelia, Bonnie, Cyril, Juliet, and my newest, Caroline. 😊 I'm looking forward to seeing who I get next. Fingers crossed for Oliver or Lady Godiva. 🤭 And I've now got 32 heirs, 23 of which are titled. 8 of the heirs come from Ian. Poor thing must be exhausted. 😣Just 405 more gold and I can open a tenth heir spot.

And to think I tried my best to stay true to my first partner. Sorry Ian, I'll be sure to get you to the singular soulmate spot. It wasn't on purpose, the game just gives you more as you progress.

I've just been so hooked on this game lately.

[drowishdwarf]

I've got Oliver!!! Yay!!!

Also, I've changed my mind about Last Godiva. I'd much rather have her male counterpart Ryan. And switch out his main image with his decoration one while I'm at it. I'm also hoping for Wade, Ophelia, Flynn, Carmen, Sofonisba and Mary

[drowishdwarf]

I got Sofonisba and Carmen! Yay!

[drowishdwarf]

So Carmen's voice turned out to be really, really annoying and just look at who I've got now.

Kyle is way better. His lines aren't as cringy either. Thank goodness for the free first gender switch

[drowishdwarf]

Yay! I got Flynn!

Tasseled Rugs - Animal Crossing

I made 5 tasseled rugs with different colour schemes. Make them as long as you want, you could even make a runner out of them. I like using them as yoga mats or beach towels.

I've been playing the heck out of King's Choice and this morning I realised the funnest coincidence.

It's so cool. I've had 40 heirs, 31 of which are grown and wed, and there's yet to be so much as a single name doubled up. The closest I've come to a repeated name is one Nicholas an heir married and one Nicolas another heir married. So cool. I wonder how long it'll hold up

That's 71 characters and not a single double up.

I tracked my heirs names for this purpose but the spouses were completely accidental. The closest to a double up I have is two spouses called Nicholas and Nicolas. The spelling's different so I still win.

Three cheers for technicalities.
