Weekly Game Chat: April 11th, 2023

I haven’t taken notes in a while on this game. Mainly because for the most part I’ve been good to pop in take care of a few problems and check in on the married couples and the children. I’m not complaining though. I still love the game. My island has gained more islanders thanks to children. There are more travelers too. I have new children. I even have my second second-generation married couple! Things are moving really well!

This is still the game I’m spending the most time on at the moment. I’ve created more things. Made some friends. Changed my look a few times. I’ve also changed my rooms from public to friends only. It’s less stressful that way. I can make friends while I’mm out visiting!

Newest products. There are more, but they are waiting to pass peer review. I’m in no hurry.

I’ve finally gotten over my wounded ego from losing all my games. I’ve started playing again. I can’t say I’ll play every single day, but I’m definitely not going to let my games get forfeited again if I can help it. It’s a really fun and relaxing game. There’s just never really much to tell about it. If anybody plays and wants to challenge me for a few games, my username is StarsBooksAndTea and my user id is 284185791.

Criminal Case issues have finally sorted themselves out. I am hoping to be able to play that now and then here soon. I also started playing Gardenscapes again. Just for the giggles. It’s not too bad. Easier than what I remember from when I played before!

Weekly Game Chat: April 4th, 2023

This week I have basically been taking it easy on this game. I’ve gotten on and played, but not really fully invested my time into it. I’ve even missed the markets on some days. I can say that the first third generation has been born onto my island. David Rossi, Aalyiah, Ellie, and Jess are now grandparents. Haha!!! I still love the game. I just needed to focus on other things this week.

A lot has gone down on IMVU. I’ve made some more things. I’ve gone broke. I lost some friends. I’ve gained some friends. While a lot has gone on, it really isn’t all that noteworthy if I’m being honest. I did set up a few new rooms. Two of which are designed for roleplays. So we’ll see how those go. I haven’t had much activity in either of them yet, but I haven’t really spent a lot of time in them either.

Some of my new products this week. I make multiple varieties of hair because I love the style but some days I may not love the color. So it’s nice to have the options. Also, some colors sell better than others.

I still haven’t gotten the will to begin playing Yahtzee with Buddies again. It’s going to take forever to build up the amount of games I had before I lost it all. I can happily say that Criminal Case is completely fixed. So hopefully I’ll be able to chip away at those games once I’m back to five days across all of them.

Tell me about the games you’re playing this week!

Weekly Game Chat: March 28th, 2023

Another week of passively playing. I didn’t take notes. I had some more children grow up and be born. I’ll do better at taking notes next week. Hopefully. I did make a point to save and transfer the photos I’ve taken over the last two weeks. So there’s that.

IMVU is still the front runner of my game play lately. I’ve gone broke. I did manage to gift some friends and make a lot more items. I also bought some Sword of Truth cosplay like things. I also have dabbed a bit into RP. I’m not the best in the world at it, but I’m trying. My main thing is I always worry I’ll break out of character during an ADHD moment so I have been afraid to even try.

The latest items in my shop.

In other game news, I lost all my games in Yahtzee because I forgot to play for over a week. Criminal Case has been having tech issues with three of their games.So I lost progress to those. One of which is still down. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. If not, I’ll have to figure out a work around to detatch it from Facebook.

Weekly Game Update: March 21st, 2023

I didn’t make any notes this week. I kind of really didn’t put full attention into the game this week. I popped on and got the markets when they were available for the most part. I took care of problems here and there. I know a few children grew up and a few children were born. I know that my apartment was upgraded to the max upgrade. Hopefully, I’ll put more focus and energy on it this week.

Now to talk about IMVU. This game has consumed me this past week. I’ve been consumed with RP family drama. Which I think I wound up making many huge mistakes. I’ve met some interesting people there for sure. I’ve also been creating a lot more lately. It started with me editing rooms I’ve made in the past, but it evolved into me making new products. I even have somebody who has become a huge fan of my shop. It is really humbling. Either way, I’m glad I came back!

Here are some of my most recent creations on IMVU. I’m still waiting on quite a few to be published. Maybe I’ll get lucky and get a job with IMVU! HAHA! Who knows?

Tell me about the games you’re playing this week!

Weekly Game Chat: Happy Pi Day! Tomadachi Life Updates and Mario Kart 8

I didn’t get all of the notes down again this week, but I did mark it down better. So there’s that. I really hope you have been enjoying these. This week was a lot. I had some children born. I’ve had some children grow up and move into their own apartment or travel. There are some children that weren’t placed into the notes. Not on purpose. There’s a couple of things that really stood out to me. I’m not going to say which. I’m going to let you read them all and see which ones I mean and comment on it with your personal thoughts!

  1. Samuel was born to Avril and Spencer.
  2. Harry and Ginny got divorced
  3. Matthew was born to George and Amy
  4. Mackenzie was born to Stark and Monica
  5. Jace grew up and became a permanent member of the island.
  6. Henry grew up and became a traveler.
  7. Anna grew up and became a permanent member of the island.
  8. Kylie grew up and became a traveler.
  9. Ariana was born to Abby and Raj.
  10. Malcom and Emma broke up
  11. Jacob was born to JJ and Sam
  12. Sophia and Ian broke up
  13. Jace told Sophia he had feelings for her. They are now a couple.
  14. Hermione decided to set Nicholas up with Emma. It worked great.
  15. Ryan grew up and became a permanent member of the island.
  16. Justin grew up and became a traveler.
  17. Tristan and Julia got married.
  18. Emily grew up and became a permanent member of the island.
  19. Molly was born to Alex and Luke
  20. Hannah grew up and became a permanent member of the island.
  21. Harry and Rory got married.
  22. Amy felt that Fez needed a sweetheart and set him up with Ginny. They hit it off.

The photos are random from what I’ve had taken overall. I tried to go for as recent as possible. From here forward, it will be for that week. I’ll also try to get photos that have a bit more context. Thank you for reading This! More updates coming next week!!!

For those of you who have been following the Mario Kart expansions, the latest wave just hit. It was released Thursday. I just got around to playing it on Sunday. When I play, I normally hit random and play as my mii avi. When the new waves have hit, I specifically choose each of the new ones until all of them are played. I normally play with Dustyn online in friends. Sometimes I also play with my brother and my mom. When they are able to play of course. I really have loved all of the new tracks that have been added so far. I also loved that there was a new character added this time! So far, with all four waves, I’ve only disliked one track. And as I’ve played it over the past few months, I hate it a little less every time. It’s still a pain.

If you have a Switch and want to be buddies, let me know! I’ll happily give my friend code. Same for those with a 3DS.

Hopefully I’ll come with more updates and more games next week!!!

Serenity Island News: March 7th, 2023

My notes are pretty good considering I haven’t been writing notes and I’m trying to get back into it. However, they aren’t fully detailed like I would want them to be. There are also some details missing. It’s all good though. I got some pretty detailed accounts. I hope you enjoy!

  1. Fred and Jackie are thinking of having a baby as of March 1st.
  2. Shaggy thinks Thomas needs a sweetheart. He tried hook him up with Evelyn. It didn’t work, but they became friends.
  3. Nikkie and Sheldon are thinking about having a baby.
  4. Donna and Jonny Depp are thinking about having a baby.
  5. JJ tried to set Shaggy’s son up with Rory. It didn’t work.
  6. Shaggy tried to set up Thomas with Evelyn. It worked.
  7. Fred and Jackie had a baby boy.
  8. Dustyn and Zoey had a baby boy.
  9. Sheldon and Nikkie had a baby girl.
  10. Dimitri and Lorelei had a baby girl.
  11. Donna and Johnny Depp had a baby boy.
  12. Morgan Belikov grew up and became a permanent resident of the island.
  13. Lauren Weasley thought that Malcom needed a sweetheart and set him up with Emma. They hit it off.
  14. J.J and Sam have been close to breaking up three times.
  15. Emma thought that Jonathan needed a sweetheart and set him up with Lauren. They hit it off.
  16. Harry decided to set Ian and Sophia up. They hit it off great.
  17. Eric and Penny had a baby.
  18. Ellie and Jess had a baby.
  19. Scott and Penelope had a baby.
  20. Leonard and Giada had a baby
  21. Jenna and Chandler had a baby girl.

It seems like a lot of people try to set people up with Rory. It never works. I’m beginning to wonder if the right person for Rory just isn’t on my island. Or maybe it’s that they are already married. *Thinks of the one that I had intended for her to be with and who he’s married to on the island.*

Next week I hope to be more detailed. I’m also going to try to import my photos so I can put them in a video and share that as well!

I wish I could create a second island so I can start this whole ordeal for you all. I don’t want to lose the island I have though. Maybe I will figure something out.

Weekly Game Chat: January 7th

I last posted in this about two weeks ago. I haven’t really been gaming gaming. I have gotten some game time in every day. I have played more on Criminal Case. I’ve even started getting all my point chests for Yahtzee with buddies. There’s so much less stress with gaming these days. I do want some more time with my Switch, but that will happen.

We have actually moved to a bigger alliance. It’s not something I really thought we would do. I kept my alt in our previous alliance. She was actually made the Alliance owner. If anything goes sideways, at least I know that we will be able to return to the Alliance. So far it’s working out really well.

I lost a lot of games due to putting this game on the back burner. It was kind of sobering. I take the time every day to get the points needed for the day. I also make it a point to play all the games at least every other day. I’m trying to remain involved in Family shenanigans as well. Maybe I’ll get more rewards doing things this way!

Word Craze Answers Updated November 2021

This game I’m not doing much with at all. I get on and do the daily puzzle and that’s about it. Once in a while, I’ll play the regular puzzles.

Criminal Case: City of Romance #17 - It All Comes to a Head Full Case -  YouTube

I’ve actually been playing all of these versions quite a bit lately. I spent three days going through the rounds. It took like the entire day. I’ll probably scale back to playing on these games a few times a week. I haven’t decided yet. We will see.

That’s all I’ve really played lately. I have bought a few games that were on sale around Christmas. I haven’t really tried them yet. They look really good. Some of them are very nostalgic. I’ll keep a better log of gameplay so I have more to report!

What games are you into lately?

Weekly Game Chat: December 17th

I have finally found a way to carve time to play some games. I’ve even had some time to play some criminal case games! Still need to get better at taking screenshots and notes for the games. I’ll get there. Maybe if people are interested, I’ll start filming my gameplay and sharing clips of them here. I haven’t really touched my Switch lately, but progress is progress!

Guns of Glory Game Guide - Tips, Tricks, and Strategy - Gamer Empire

I haven’t really gotten too far along on this game. I do log on every day. I did recently get to castle 27 on one account and 22 on the other. I also now have the highest armor set on my main. At least the current highest. I am trying hard to make sure I get on every day to do at least the daily tasks.

New YAHTZEE® With Buddies Android Gameplay - YouTube

I messed up badly with this one. I went too many days without playing and lost a ton of my games. I had a lot of games going so it was kind of a blow. Hoping to be able to build them back up in time. I also haven’t really been contributing to the family feast or games much. I’m working on getting better at this.

Word Craze Answers Updated November 2021

I don’t really play this game too much, but I do get on every day to at least get the daily puzzle game done. I’m hoping one day I will have downtime and want to fly through the levels. At least I know I’ve been racking up quite a bit of boosts for when I do!

Criminal Case: City of Romance #17 - It All Comes to a Head Full Case -  YouTube

There are eight versions of this game. I play them all. Rather than talk about them all individually, I’m going to write a bit about them all in one. For months, I’ve only been logging on to do my daily spins. I’ve accumulated quite a bit of boosts and energy. Not that they sync across all devices used, but I digress. I recently downloaded them all to my MacBook. My energy didn’t sync. Rather than being upset, I’m taking advantage of this. When I have the time to do it, I’m doing the daily spins on my MacBook and running the energy out while I’m there. This way I’m making progress on all eight games. Eventually, I’ll use the energy I’ve accumulated on other devices. For now, this works. And I move forward a bit.

I’ve been obsessively living in a loop of keeping up with dailies and making sure I do all daily tasks. I’ve also been trying to make sure I do all daily tasks for Guns of Glory as I possibly can. The more we do as an alliance, the more boxes the alliance gets to open every day. I also bought a new game this week. Well, it was bought for me. I tried it out last night and it’s pretty amazing so far!

Amazon.com: Mario Party Superstars - Nintendo Switch : Nintendo of America:  Electronics

From what I can see, you can choose from a few options on how many turns you want to go. You can play with friends or computers. The computers can be played at any level. the mini-games are games from all Mario Parties. I can’t wait to play it again. I’m excited for my mom to get a copy of the game so we can play together.

Guns Of Glory 3rd Anniversary Event Includes A Glory Ambassador Contest  With A $20,000 Prize

I’m getting to the point where I really hope we have more people join our alliance. I still don’t regret leaving the big alliance we were in. Not that I didn’t enjoy being in that alliance. It was just too much to handle. It was taking my enjoyment from the game. Once we joined our own alliance, my enjoyment of the game picked up. Like I said, it’s nothing against the alliance we were in. We just had differences in preferences in the game.

Amazon.com: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch : Mario Kart 8 - Deluxe:  Video Games

I haven’t really played this much this week. Honestly, I haven’t really played greatly. I’m not sure what the cause is. I don’t want to be one of those types of gamers who blames lag or other players/computers. I want to. I really do. I got hit multiple times where I didn’t even see an object or another car. I flew off corners that I normally did well on. I realize that this all means nothing. Hopefully, when I play again, I’ll do a lot better. I’m sure I just was just off my game.
