If you ever wondered if there were too many simulators out there – yes. Yes there are. This is one of them.

My Time at Portia – Diving In
This game was actually gifted to me a bit ago, but time being what it is, I haven’t actually played it (though I had it installed for a while). Today I was finally able to make the time, and now I’m completely smitten with this little gem (I also heard today that it’s coming out on console, including Switch, which is awesome).
So you’ve inherited your Pa’s construction building, and you live on the outskirts of a town filled with villagers. You repair the house that has been sorely neglected (hey, this is sounding a lot like another game out there… except in 3D) meet the town folks, and get down to business.
There’s a ton to do in game. You’re restricted by stamina daily (just like that other game we’re all thinking of) and you can do fun things like.. grow crops, breed horses, fill out commissions for other villagers, adventure in some ruins, and generally muck about. There’s a ton of crafting, skills, and other bits and bobs to keep you busy.
I haven’t delved very far into it yet, having only played for a few hours, but I’m enjoying what I HAVE played so far. I hear that combat is a bit wonky so I’ve actually stayed away from it. Instead I’m focusing on exploration, crafting, and farming. Or at least I will be once I make a few more machines for my construction site. Right now I can’t turn wood into planks, and that’s a priority. We’ll see where I end up next.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
The Fortress Grows
I’ve re-sealed the caverns below after a round of snake-people death that started freaking my dwarves out. Restricting access has done a world of good for the fortress as a whole, but the snake people are bored and want to continue to get slaughtered, apparently.
Hopefully next season we see a caravan, it has been pretty quiet in the realm and it may be time to start over with different settings. We shall see.
Saving Chickens
Dora needed some help rounding up her chickens today, so of course I did. She gave me a cloak in return that looked like it had been used to wash the floors, and was no where near as nice as the cloak I was already wearing. Why her chickens were out wandering with wolves, I have no idea, but hopefully she keeps them closer to home in the future.
Two Point Hospital – DLC
I love two point hospital – and of course that means I was absolutely useless in resisting their two DLC (one is a pre-order). It’s relaxing, and hilarious. Two things that I need a lot of.
