I got caught out in a tsunami in Valheim and it was INTENSE. It’s not just because the raft is an awkward weird ship to try to sail, but the waves were gigantic and I kept thinking any moment I was going to get smashed against the nearby rocks. Thankfully, I managed to ‘park’ along the shore and get myself to safety without any further issues.
I was out running around with my wagon when I came across – a few treasures! Literal treasures. Someone must have lost their small chest of gems. Gems are used (mostly) to vessel favour so priests can store it for a later use. In Wurm Online the ones that are below 10 ql are used to grind channeling, but that’s not really a thing in Wurm Unlimited.
Yay for treasure!
My life is one big balancing act. Some days I’m better at doing that than others but one thing that has helped me keep organized about it all is setting up a bulletjournal (also known as a bujo). I use this to track the important things going on in my life, and recently I’ve even set up schedules for hobbies and video games that I’m cycling through. Why bother? Well, I’m not good at playing just one game. Right now I’m playing WoW, FFXIV, Wurm Online (North and South servers), and Wurm Unlimited. That’s just the MMO side of things.
Combine that with my plethora of hobbies (knitting, reading, spinning, drawing, you get the picture) and then add in friends and family – and it can all be pretty overwhelming. When I’m tired (which is often) I am inclined to just sit and stare at the screen doing absolutely nothing at all until it’s bedtime. That feeling is the worst, because I KNOW my time is limited.
That’s where I’m at. Constantly balancing things and re-balancing them so that I actually get something done in the slot that I have available. Is it working? I feel like it is, I’ve managed to keep up with my knitting projects, the blog is going well, I get some reading done, I do a little gaming. Do I feel any less stress? Yes. I certainly do. I have a plan, and those times when I can’t think of what I want to do, I refer to the plan. If I don’t follow things I don’t stress about it, either. It’s meant as a guideline, not a hard rule.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
I’ve been spending some time in Valheim lately (along with 3 million others, apparently) and the game is just so absolutely beautiful even with a pixelated look. I’ve been playing with the Combat Wombat team on a group server that’s absolutely delightful but my internet has been acting up and the lag was so bad that me and my husband set up another local server to play on too. One of the best features is that your character can go from server to server, and you keep all of your items and skills with you. I’m having a blast, and for $20 really the price of this game could not be beat.
One of my absolute favourite things in the world – is crackers and cheese. It’s comforting (I know there’s a science behind cheese being that way) and my three favourite cheeses are brie, blue cheese, and goat. I could probably live off of that for the rest of my life (thankfully I don’t have to).
