Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

January is the month I have decided to take my life back and start to feel like me again. I have started working out and even when I try to talk myself out of it I get right on the treadmill anyways and workout. It's been a very brutal week of it and glad today is friday and that I get two rest days over the weekend. 

I also got a schedule set up for streaming! Some of the dates could change but I am working on trying really hard to not let them. I have no idea yet what I want to play game wise...and I am supposed to stream later tonight...I'll figure it out! I figured something either off my PC or PS4 because that's all I can stream off of currently till I get a capture card. 

Over the holidays I got a two new games Dragon Quest Builders (which I love! even though I totally ruined my base and I am so sad about it I am thinking of restarting chapter 1) and J-Stars Victory VS. I also got a few awesome steam games.  I have been a little obsessed with Master of Orion as well so possibly that?

I got a new book series Calander Girl that I started reading and so far really like it, aiming to finish book vol 1 by end of this month  so I can ready then next 3!

I'll be posting to my social media when I go live tonight but it might actually not be between 7 or 8 as I need to bake cookies and the cookies I am planning to make take a little time so it'll probably be more around 10pm and i'll be live for about 2 hours and then tomorrow I will be live from 7-9am - 11am-12pm. I have something I need to leave for at  about 11:30/12 and Sunday I will be live 9am - 1pm. 


Did you guys get any new games this holiday season? Any new year resolutions aiming to complete this year?

I really love it! They pretty much seemed to have kept the same races with the additon of a few I think. I haven't played the older games in a long time so I don't really remember. There's a few bugs sometimes especially when you go to end your turn it sometimes hangs up and does not proceed for some reason. Only happened twice so far to me.

Calendar Girl ... Any relation to Batman villain Calendar Man? 

What's your streaming channel? Is it on twitch or YouTube?

I got too many dang games this holiday season. Sales! 7 games for maybe a little more than the price of one. One of my New Years resolutions is no more impulse game buys.

Not that I am aware of for Calendar Girl - it's a book about a girl who becomes an escort for a different guy each month to pay back loan sharks that are after her family and pay her dads hospital bills and see her sister is set for college. It's a pretty good read so far though.

I am on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/defectivemid I have my schedule posted in a link in my info section.

That happened to me one year too, but lately, I have been really good at not impulse buying games but instead buying new thing for my bedroom to replace all my plastic totes and such. lol so I just swapped the impulse to a different thing.

I got a PS4 real cheap on a Black Friday sale, so for Christmas i got a few PS4 games like Dragon Quest Builders, the Storybook Edition of Odin Sphere, and Tearaway Unfolded.

Nice! I need to get Odin Sphere still. They had good PS4 deals this past holiday on PS4 items.

I just used a treadmill for the first time the other day. I usually just go outside, but I thought a more focused workout would be better. The shock absorbing thing you run on makes me all wobbly when I get off it.

I messed up my town in DQ Builders too. Made me so annoyed, I traded it in. Kind of want to go back and start over again now though.

Yes it does the same thing to me too, from what I learned though is to gradually slow it down when you start to near the end and then it should help it not be as bad. 

It actually went a lot quicker through the second time around because I knew what had to get done so I got past where I was in one day versus taking a weekend to get past where I was.

Noted. 

I had trouble getting my rooms to register points. I think I expanded the town and I wasn't supposed to. I just have the instinct from Minecraft to rearrange everything. Next time I'll be more careful.

Yeah I know you can create rooms outside of the base, I just don't think it registers them for base points unless it's in the base. And I noticed the based has lighter ground than the rest of the world to show it's border.

I messed with the borders trying to expand the town, then I built stuff I thought was securely in the borders and they didn't register. Also, I would put what I thought were the right items in a room and still I didn't get the points. I must've just messed it up good. I'd like to go back now and start over, but I don't really have the time. Well, I'm psyched for Dragon Quest XI if it ever comes to NA.

I'm late but Happy New Year! Cookies sound delicious right now, but I really should eat breakfast instead of looking for cookies. 

My resolutions are the same: listen to all the un-played stuff in my iTunes library, read more, play more of the games I own instead of buying new ones, read more, and of course excercise.

You as well! I had cookies for breakfast for a few days haha, not a very healthy breakfast but did the trick!

Nice! I wish you luck in your endeavors!

How the heck did you ruin your dragon quest base? Man that game is like crack to me. I put it on for what feels like 5 minutes until I walk outside and realise the seasons have changed and we've been invaded by the Polish.

 New games I got this holiday season... uh... DQ Builders haha. Also Fire Emblem Birthright, which is phenomenal. Oh, and like a million games for 30 bucks on Bundlestars. Seriously, the games on that site are so cheap I actually had to google whether it was legit or if I was giving my credit details over to the ghost of Stalin.

I was trying to make the Catlin Garden within my base because I was getting tired of the game saying what I had was not a Catlin Garden in the outside world. SO I built this moat from the ocean to my base...mistake number 1 monsters can now get stuck there and be annoying. Second mistake was I needed to then level the rest of my base to try to register that there was a room there because it was not registering there was a room that was an extra 8 squares down. So I do so and still does not register the darn room.

So I got way too lazy to put all the earth back and restarted.

I still need the new Fire Emblem games! That's pretty sweet! I am going to have to check Bundlestars out!
