Mario Kart World did not go the Way I Expected...

2025 was a year in gaming that excited me! Unlike the outcry of many others, I was very much looking forward to the release of Nintendo's Switch 2. As a console, I felt it was a repeat on an already-winning formula, and all that was really needed for the Switch family of consoles to continue to succeed was a hardware...

OnlyOffice

OnlyOffice is such a fantastic piece of software. Whoever decided to build a whole office suite into one unified program and allow for tabbed access all in one window needs a raise. Free software too! No other thoughts on this, I just really like OnlyOffice. Not sponsored. Check it out here!

I Love Compound Butter

There is nothing that spices up my cooking more than using a compound butter to enhance the flavours of what I'm preparing. I don't really have a lot to explain or say - it's not like I'm a chef or anything - I just know that there's a handful of little tricks and ways to cook I've picked up on over the years that I...

I Played the Horse Game

I need that Phineas & Ferb meme about the nickels right about now, because this would be the second time I've been surprised and enchanted by cartoon horses in my lifetime! Weirdest part? I don't even like real-life horses all that much. Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a game didn't have to be anything special. I don't think...

The Game Plan to BLESS this MESS in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town

Hey all! Will is back and with a special treat just for you. That's right - you! Now don't get that too twisted. As you all know, I have eyes only for one certain green lady. The lady that lives in the pond! The lady my therapist keeps insisting does not exist. He needs to get his eyes checked, or maybe see a shrink...

Getting a CURSED TOOL in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town!

As I had promised in the previous posts of my goddess-wooing escapades, this is bound to be a much shorter post! Partially because I've been enjoying not being quite as busy for the last week or two, but mostly due to how uneventful Winter is in Mineral Town. It's not to say I'm not making progress every other day, but...

How does WINTER Work in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town?

Hello all, thanks for waiting for me - and glad to be back on the grind! I want to make it clear that video games can simulate life to some fun and impressive degrees, but even with the advent of virtual reality and other technologies yet to be unveiled, they will never be real life itself. Case in point: I haven't...

Sharpening your SKILLS in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town

It's that time again - the time where I yap endlessly about the eventual fruits of my labours winning the heart of some virtual lady whom I can only guess has been in existence for thousands of years. How old is farming? She's been around for at least that long. ...Actually, now that I ask Google this question, it seems...

How does AUTUMN Work in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town?

Welcome back to the latest episode of "My Strange Addiction" - that addiction being the compulsion to painstakingly complete a 21 year-old farming game. I have entered the Fall season! Or as the French call it: L'Automne. Or as everyone in Mineral Town calls it, uh: Autumn. Autumn is an interesting time of year; it has...

How does SUMMER Work in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town?

Greetings and salutations! I hope all who are reading had a good passing week - my week was quite busy. A lot more meetings and order fulfillments than I thought I was going to have cross my desk, that's for sure. The Harvest Goddess was a little quiet this week, so that translates to me not keeping her too busy. I've...

Explaining How to Marry the HARVEST GODDESS in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town

Hello! Hey! Ciao! Hi! Another week has begun and so has my risk of early-onset carpal tunnel with the way my workplace wants to handle its bookkeeping. However compared to manually inputting 3000 lines of numbers and account codes, writing about my beloved Harvest Goddess comes much more easily to me! She seems to be in...

Can I Marry A GODDESS in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town?

I am taking up one heck of a challenge - it was late 2019 when I learned that in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral town, you could romance the Harvest Goddess. I know there's probably a pretty even split of people who are shocked someone didn't already know this, and then another split of folks saying "... I'm sorry,...
