No! Not that kind of weekend…;) This kind of weekend:
The lighting effects are truly glorious in Elder Scrolls Online, and they inspired me to create classically inspired interiors for my in-game house. That involved finding recipes, gathering ingredients and finally crafting beautiful items like:
…the goblets and knick knacks you can see displayed on that shelving.
I also splurged and bought a very expensive recipe for a glass goblet and some ‘food’. In this last screenshot, you can see my wedge of cheese, the bread platter, and some kebabs. Dinner chez moi. 🙂
I loved the player housing in Final Fantasy XIV, but the housing and control in ESO are an order of magnitude better. Harder to master, but I think the effects speak for themselves. And yes, I did spend a lot of time playing this weekend. But I also spent a lot of time, and most of my energy mowing. I literally did not have enough oomph left over to write. Today, though, I will make up for lost time.
cheers

Looks like fun, and daunting to a non-game-player. I’m glad you had fun. 🙂

lol – I know it must seem strange, but it’s probably no different to any other hobby that challenges you. And yes, it is fun. The trick lies in rationing how much fun I have, coz it really is a time sink. 🙂

I’m still enjoying Minecraft. Right now, I’m living inside a mountain, hiding from the villagers, who are pests. I have eight cats in my hideaway, so I guess I’m a Minecraft Crazy Cat Lady!

Yes! Another one. Gamers of the World unite! Bit by bit we’re going to take over the world and…
Ahem, I’m sure I’ve read research somewhere about play being good for the mind. 🙂

I must admit, I’ve returned to do a bit of game-playing of late, mostly via Steam. It used to be a thing for me in the late 1990s until writing took over. I’m currently working through co-op Borderlands, which comes across to me as a kind of western… in space…

I’ve played a couple of games via Steam, but I’m bit sure how secure it is. I keep receiving bogus emails, long after I stopped playing. Take care. 😦

Mwahahahaha! If you ever decide to indulge, try to pick a game that allows you the most amount of freedom – so you can pick and choose the bits that /you/ most enjoy. For me it’s crafting and creating.
Maybe we’ll join forces one day!

Wow that is wonderful, and it looks like a lot of work. I understand play video games. I play the different Halo games on my Xbox all the time. Hugs
