I got caught out in a tsunami in Valheim and it was INTENSE. It’s not just because the raft is an awkward weird ship to try to sail, but the waves were gigantic and I kept thinking any moment I was going to get smashed against the nearby rocks. Thankfully, I managed to ‘park’ along the shore and get myself to safety without any further issues.
I was out running around with my wagon when I came across – a few treasures! Literal treasures. Someone must have lost their small chest of gems. Gems are used (mostly) to vessel favour so priests can store it for a later use. In Wurm Online the ones that are below 10 ql are used to grind channeling, but that’s not really a thing in Wurm Unlimited.
Yay for treasure!
I’ve been spending some time in Valheim lately (along with 3 million others, apparently) and the game is just so absolutely beautiful even with a pixelated look. I’ve been playing with the Combat Wombat team on a group server that’s absolutely delightful but my internet has been acting up and the lag was so bad that me and my husband set up another local server to play on too. One of the best features is that your character can go from server to server, and you keep all of your items and skills with you. I’m having a blast, and for $20 really the price of this game could not be beat.
I love how creative (or not creative) you can be with your characters in FFXIV….
My latest healer (the astrologist?) hit 42, my gladiator is still meandering along at 18, and I haven’t done anything yet this week except complete my white/yellow scrip turn ins and my retainer missions. Still, progress is progress!
I have to thank Arislyn for this suggestion – today I picked up Wobbledogs from steam. It’s a quirky little game where you mix and match the genetics from various types of dogs, and they spawn eggs that you hatch into new dogs. They have a pretty short life span, and they.. explode.. into little mutant doggy pieces that you can er, order the other dogs to.. eat. Or you can just throw the pieces away. Sometimes the dogs have genetic mutations that require a bit of help because they can’t actually feed themselves. I had one who could only butt scoot around the floor instead of actually walking. You can pet them, praise them, and.. throw them.
If it wasn’t for the over the top cartoon nature of this game I might believe it’s more sinister than it comes across, especially since my kids were hanging around cooing over the animals – but it was a hilarious delight, and a good time waster. I do think the price is a bit over the top for this sort of game play, but if you pick it up on sale then it’s not too bad.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
