2025, a Year in Pictures

Remembering 2025 through the pictures and screenshots I took throughout the year. There's a lot.

Morning Folks. This morning, I give massive thanks to @Krikket and the rest of the mentors for making sure that #Blaugust2025 was a wildly successful event, and big props to all of the Blaugustans who participated.

I also talk a bit about #DestinyRising and #PathOfExile2 and my Bigfoot video from yesterday.

It took me a bit to get all the numbers crunched, but finally, here are the participants and awards from #Blaugust2025.

The End of Blaugust 2025 - The...

August Blogging from 2005 to today

It's been hours since Blaugust officially ended; is it too late to do a retrospective? How about for every August from the blog's start in 2005?

The Vectrex is coming back… in pog form!

Well, in mini form! It's true! Your chance to play Vectrex games as if you were twice as large as you are now is coming soon.

Well, still #blogging about #gaming!

Here are some honorable mentions that didn't make it to the #top25games, at least right now.

The final post of August

Well dear friends, and friends I have yet to meet, today is the last day of August — which means it is also the final day of the blogging challenge #blaugust.

You've had 31 word-packed-days of ramblings from me.

Journaling is one of those intensely personal things, for people who choose to do so. It's not a consistent practice for me, but it's lovely to have it to turn to when I need it.

I guess I suck at this whole Blaugust thing

I had such plans, but in the end, I didn't do so well.

Today's Blaugust response post is on the topic of the challenge of starting something new, even - or maybe especially - when it's something that only provides personal fulfillment.

You'd never guess, but... - another #Blaugust2025 group project, and one that got heavier than I intended.

Another response post today - I'm fantastic at showing grace to absolutely everyone but me. Why do so many of us have our standards sky high for ourselves, but not for others?

I revived a post from one of my old blogs that I wrote 10 years ago. To do this I also created an account on the PeerTube instance Hardlimit.

It's about jousting in video games.

This probably should have been a topic for a Self-Reflection Sunday post rather than an Introduce Yourself Week post, but today I'm talking a bit about identity and how sometimes a chosen identity doesn't fit as well as it once did.

The trouble with having a blog that's mostly about gaming is, what does one do when gaming isn't happening?

Curious to see everyone participating in Blaugust this year? I've got the full blog roll, and a little extra love for the Blaugust Discord mentor crew.

Today I'm laying out my rules for #100Horror2025 - it worked so well last year, I figured why not do it again?

July for me was full of delightful things - but most of them weren't the delightful things I normally blog about.

Still, I'm starting to feel like I'm coming back to myself again, and that's worth celebrating.
