#nerdgirlthoughts — Public Fediverse posts

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

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.

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?

My response to the #Blaugust2025 Group Project for today - a few takes of varying temperatures on some of my hobbies.

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.

Blaugust 2025 is right around the corner, and today I'm looking at the weekly themes and offering up some prompts for each week.

We're a little over a week into July, and it's time to start talking about #Blaugust2025.

I can't count May as a huge success nerdstuff-wise, but I'm getting back into the swing of things now.

#NerdGirlThoughts

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/06/01/in-review-may-2025/

Well, I think this is the first time since I started that I've gone basically a whole month without posting.

But it felt wrong not do something for the end of the month. Everything - and I do mean every little thing - is in flux right now, and while I'm grateful that the surprises are mainly positive in nature these days, I could use a slow down.

#NerdGirlThoughts

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/05/31/nerd-girl-goals-june-2025/

Nothing new in this months goal setting - just keeping it simple in hopes of actually getting back on top of everything.

After a couple of lackluster months, Humble has hit it out of the park with the April bundle. From indie darlings to big name franchises, there is going to be something here for most gamers. Well done!

I was super unfocused during March, but I managed to knock out a few goals at least.

#NerdGirlThoughts

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/04/01/in-review-march-2025/

The end of March snuck up on me a bit - but it's goal setting time again.

#NerdGirlThoughts

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/03/31/nerd-girl-goals-april-2025/

It's time to look at March's Humble Choice, and I should probably tell you that no one - not even me - volunteered to play any of these games this month.

Next Fest Part Three - featuring God For A Day, Sedap! A Culinary Adventure, Mudborne, Delverium, Survival Machine, Hungry Meem, Piece by Piece, and Drop Duchy.

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/02/28/steam-next-fest-february-2025-edition-part-three/

I haven't been too focused during the first couple of months of 2025, so I'm mostly sticking to "more of the same "style goals for March.

#NerdGirlThoughts #MonMonth

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/02/28/nerd-girl-goals-february-2025-2/

Part two of my Next Fest coverage includes my thoughts on the following demos: Among the Whispers: Provocation, The Deadly Path, Rail Gods of Hysterra, Deck of Haunts, Anoxia Station, Do No Harm, Grimshire, and the Horror at Highrook.

I didn't write a whole lot during January (sorry, friends!) but that doesn't mean I didn't do *anything* all month long. I met more of my goals that I thought I had, and built up some good routines to start the year.

Have you made up your mind about the January 2025 Humble Choice bundle yet? Let us help.

(spoiler: I am going to tell you to buy it just for Against the Storm.)

Goodbye, 2024. I won't miss you. But today I will look back on what I was playing, reading, watching, and spending in December.

#NerdGirlThoughts

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/01/01/in-review-december-2024/

New Year, every so slightly new format. I always feel a bit ridiculous setting leisure time goals, but then again, I do love me some scheduling and structure.

December's Humble Choice was an odd assortment, but there are some really great titles here, albeit maybe ones you've never heard of.

For #Kusogecember, I dug deep into the back of my library and came up with Deadly Premonition.

It's been said that this is the worst game worth playing, and in my opinion, that statement is probably half right.

#NerdGirlThoughts #IndieGames

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2024/12/16/quick-look-deadly-premonition-kusogecember/

For the first day of December, I'm taking a look back at what I did and didn't do during November.

It's that time again - Humble Choice will auto renew for subscribers tomorrow! If you haven't quite made up your mind yet, we're here to help.

It's time to decide - are you grabbing this month's Humble Choice, or are you putting your subscription on pause? Here's what we thought about this month's offerings.

#NerdGirlThoughts #HumbleChoice #IndieGames

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2024/10/28/blaugust-reviews-humble-choice-october-2024-edition/

There are several games on my wish list that are supposed to release in the remainder of Q3 - here are a few of my most anticipated.

A few words about the four games I would consider to be my Top Four of 2024 so far.

With just over three weeks until I can start playing The War Within, I really need to prioritize what I want to get done in that time.

I have done zero prep work for my unofficial spin on #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days but that's not going to prevent me from giving it a whirl (with a few tweaks to the formula).

http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2024/08/05/can-i-watch-one-hundred-horror-movies-in-ninety-days/

Trying to jump from a few posts a month, to one every day, Blaugust is quite the mental adjustment for me. I'm not sure I put in enough work this year prior to August first, but I'm not letting it discourage me.

#NerdGirlThoughts #Blaugust2024

Humble Choice will auto renew for all current subscribers tomorrow; if you're not sure yet whether or not you want to pause a month, we've taken a look at most of the games available to help you decide.

A few thoughts on the first batch of demos I've played during Steam's Next Fest. All of these games were featured in the most recent Wholesome Direct!

Just over a day left before Humble Choice auto-renews, and a week before April's bundle disappears for good. If you haven't made up your mind yet, maybe we can help?

Inspired by @danielholt I look at the newly released games I had to have (but apparently didn't have to play) in 2023.

I really wanted to love Nobody Saves the World, but it didn't take too long before the difficulty was more than I could handle.

Some thoughts on The Quarry - this month's #HumbleChoice headliner (and also, a good fit for #HorrorGameOct).

For #Shmuptember, I played through Outshine, a typing-based on-rails shooter from Fishing Cactus, the developers of Epistory and Nanotale.

It's Creative Appreciation Week at #Blaugust2023, and I've somehow managed to never formally appreciate any of my fellow bloggers.

Today, I remedy that, at least a little.
