Five Game Challenge Day 17: Val'Danaar Takes Shape (RimWorld)

Five Game Challenge Day 17: Val’Danaar Takes Shape (RimWorld)

Probably a bit of a quicker update tonight. Left it perhaps a little later than is advisable to start writing. Given that, really, I should be heading to bed now. Anywho!

Roughly where we left things last night.

So yes. No food. Crops still at least a few days out from being ready to harvest. Heck, the butcher’s table wasn’t even built yet — and we didn’t have the wood already in storage.

Bu…

Five Game Challenge Day 30: Wrap-up Journal

[New Post] Five Game Challenge Day 30: Wrap-up Journal -- It's over! Doneski! Here's the wrap up, plus what's up next.

Booyah, final day. Basically done. The padlocks on the game list can be loosened. In fact I’m going to reward myself with a relaxation of the challenge after I get this post done and published.

So… Ciao!

…No? Well OK. I suppose we can take a slightly deeper dive into the whole thing.

The November Challenges

There was no plan to run a limited-game challenge. It just sort of… Came…

Five Game Challenge Day 29: Arbitration Ahoy

[New Post] Five Game Challenge Day 29: Arbitration Ahoy Unlocked #Warframe Arbitration missions and ran one for (almost) an hour earlier today. I needed a bit of a lie down after. xD

Phewph. All the way back in the dim, dark, barely remembered days of old… Er, Day 18 of this challenge, I spoke about working toward unlocking Arbitrations.

Welp. I’ve unlocked them now. It has been a bit of a piecemeal approach. A few nodes here, a few nodes there. Mostly in solo time. Occasionally pulling in an unlucky friend to help with a particularly obnoxious mission-type here and there.

Five Game Challenge Day 28: Looking Forward #4

Five Game Challenge Day 28: Looking Forward #4 -- Almost to the finish line. I shan't break now! ... But if I *did* then it might be for these...

The fourth and final Looking Forward for this round of the Five Game Challenge. A last look at what might tempt me away from the path of the five. Only a couple of days to go, so despite an ever growing desire to play all the things, it’s looking like I’ll make it.

…But if I wasgoing to break early, here’s a couple of things I might do it for. Neither of which are ‘new’ titles actually, but…

Five Game Challenge Day 26: The End is Nigh

Five Game Challenge Day 26: The End is Nigh

Day 26 of 30. Almost there. And I’m very much ready to be there. The daily posting is by far the harder aspect of this challenge. I’ve been reflecting too, on some of the differences between the Five Game Challenge and Blaugust. Blaugust was only a few months ago, but it may as well have been another lifetime.

It was just a day later in the month of Blaugust — the 27th — when I posted ‘Stayin…

Five Game Challenge Day 25: Archwing Adjustments

[New Post] Five Game Challenge Day 25: Archwing Adjustments in #Warframe's Rising Tide update.

The big news of the latest Warframe update — Rising Tide — is of course the ability to add the Dry Dock to your clan dojo, and from there your Railjack. The spacecraft that we’ll soon be taking off in!

Exciting stuff. Our Clan Dojo required some rearrangement to allow for the build of the Dry Dock, so we’re still not done yet. All the clan materials are together though, just a day or two away…

Five Game Challenge Day 24: Humble Choice Starts Soon

Five Game Challenge Day 24: Humble Choice Starts Soon

If you’ve still been sitting on the fence about Humble Choice, time to decide and lock-in the current ‘Classic’ pricing is running out. No longer a prediction — we have an actual date. December 6th Humble Choice kicks into life. So you’d want to have opted-in no later than December 5th to ensure your place, probably.

There is actually a timer on the Humble page itself (my referral link/

Five Game Challenge Day 23: Multiplayer Motivation

[New Post] Five Game Challenge Day 23: Multiplayer Motivation -- Talking about the drive that comes from a desire to optimise Multiplayer with friends time, even while playing alone. Currently seeing this effect with #Warframe

Poor Skyrim. While it hasn’t quite fallen to the red-headed step-child levels of the other games in my challenge line-up, it has nonetheless played into a second fiddle role to Warframe of late.

The thinking going into this is that Warframe would be something I’d play exclusively multiplayer with friends. I thought outside of a group, there would be nothing I would want to do.

Following on…
