Stardew Christmas

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet!!!

But in the timeline of things, Snow and I have now gotten to Christmas in Stardew again (as of last August).

Seems like good timing that this is being scheduled in November as holiday season starts up.

PC: Champing Up

I don’t really see myself posting many achievements from the Jackbox game “Champ’d Up” but I thought I’d mention it at least once because the family enjoys gathering around the computer, drawing to the prompts, and then seeing who trounces who.

Hint: Newbie and Little Miss have an artistic advantage.

Civ VI: Gitarja Win!

Slowly but surely, trying out different leaders and then hopefully winning with them.

Stardew: Year 4 Fishing Win

Finally! It only took me to year 4 to finally beat Little Miss at the ice fishing competition.

Amusingly between yesterday’s Stardew post and today’s I’ve actually scheduled a bunch of cat pictures through the rest of the year and into January, but you’ll have to wait until various future Caturdays to see those.

Stardew: The Great Pumpkin

We got lucky here with this picture coming up in October! I took the screenshot back at the end of July.

This was our first giant pumpkin on our shared farm ever, so it was something we wanted to be sure to catch a picture of for posterity.

And yes, that’s our regular farming setup. I suppose we could move it to the left a little bit to allow for the Jumino huts to harvest more on the right side and then also add another set of iridium sprinklers on the left but really, this layout is keeping us well stocked with a strong harvest that then all goes into kegs and preserve jars. What we probably need at this point is a third shed that would let us process even more preserve jars and kegs… but to do that, we’ll need a good spot to put them.

We even have a nice strong system for planting each season these days so that the multi-harvest plants go along the top and the sides and then everything else branches out from there.

I fear soon my work’s Q4 rush will be coming and we’ll have to put off doing Stardew for about a month. I don’t look forward to that. This gaming time with my senior is precious.

Gamer Training

She wanted to make a void elf character on my account. I can’t remember what chores I was doing at the time at this point, but I went ahead and said sure, go ahead.

Newbie then joined her, so we had small siblings partying up out in the world. I believe Superman and maybe Little Miss were also playing, but having these two young future gamers sitting side-by-side was the important shot for me.

Civ VI: When Diplomacy Fails…

I mean, the achievement isn’t wrong…

Looks like I triggered this one in Steam back in July.

Civ VI: Owls of Minerva

I haven’t done much with the secret societies yet, but here’s the first one I’ve maxxed out. 🙂

OW – Highlight – King’s Row KnightOwl Push

Charge!

It’s ult versus ult here at the end with their Roadhog desperately trying to keep Newbie off the point after clearly just getting back from the spawn room.

I don’t remember how this one ultimately turned out, these were all back in July.

OW – Highlight – Oasis Explosion

So Newbie/Knightowl had a great set of kills herself on Oasis. Superman had more kills, so clearly that’s why he got the POTG that I posted yesterday, but this point clear can’t be easily ignored either.
