Wildermyth
I just love this game so dang much.
The story is amazing, and the art style is very comic-like and amusing. Again, if you haven’t tried this game out, I HIGHLY recommend it. Probably my best for 2021 so far.

Yesterday Asmon decided to try out FFXIV on his stream (if you’ve never heard of him before, you can do a quick google search or just know that he’s a Twitch personality, typically known for some drama, and playing world of warcraft), and he just happened to create on Cactuar, which is the server I play on. It was a huge influx of people, and while I’m glad that FFXIV is getting some exposure (because it is an amazing game) I’m also very cautious about what sort of players this brings to the table. I expect most will wander off to whatever new shiny is being promoted, but maybe a handful will stay – and that’s always great. Meanwhile, my scholar was missing 6 spells for her level, so I was just trying to get some of those class quests cleared out that I had completely forgotten about.
This steam game released mid June, and I have to say it is already one of my absolute favourite releases for 2021. From the description of the game, you get this:
Wildermyth follows heroes over their whole careers, from their pitchfork days to their powerful primes, and on into old age and memory. It’s a party-based procedural storytelling RPG where tactical combat and story decisions will alter your world and reshape your cast of characters.
It’s a story heavy party-based RPG with strategy, where you move your characters along a tiled board in turn based combat, interacting with the scenery and defeating enemies. The choices you make in the story (and combat) portion of the game actually matter – and your heroes go through their entire lives, get old, die, and are remembered (or forgotten) and become part of a legacy. I’m not very far into the game yet, there’s a LOT to it and the longer you play the more involved things get. There’s also crafting on top of everything else.
Honestly, I can’t write enough good about this game, and I can’t depict how much FUN it is, you’ll have to give it a go yourself. I know the price tag is a bit hefty for an indie developed game, but much like RimWorld, this one is completely worth it.

Instead I started playing FFXIV (again) with a group of people I know from twitter, and I managed to get my bard to 80! No small feat there, I’m quite happy. My tentative ‘goal’ for that game is to finish the MSQ before the expansion comes out in November. I’m thinking that SHOULD be possible given my play times. Of course, I’ve been wrong before.

July Goals:
I don’t want to add too many goals to July as my multiple sclerosis has been pretty bad and it just makes me sad if I don’t manage to make my goals. I know I have to be gentle with myself, so if I get my smaller goals completed, I’ll be happy. I’d also like to start tracking my yarn use. I know I haven’t bought much this year, and I want to try to make sure I use up more than I purchase. Inspiration taken from another fellow knitter, as always.
