No-Clucks-Given & Burt

Ah. Wurm.

Once again I’ve decided to start my own deed – on Cadence. Which is where I was a few months back. I even paid to premium another character, leaving me with a total of 4. Two on the old Southern servers, and two on the newer ones. Two priests, two ‘regular’ characters. The deed is small, located along the cost in the North East, and should provide easy access if the Southern servers are ever joined. In the meantime, I finally reached 30 masonry, so I’m creating stone houses, and a much needed guard tower.

I have my trusty hen, a bull, and a lot of .. well, nothing, really. It should be a fun adventure if I can stick with it.

Where did all the Oxygen go

I started playing Oxygen Not Included for the first time this week after it went on sale. I’ve heard a lot about this game, and I’ve watched quite a few streams on it – but had held off purchasing it because let’s face it, I already own RimWorld.

I don’t enjoy the game quite as much, I think both games are still very different, with different concepts, mods, and gameplay. The top down view of RimWorld is still my preference compared to the ‘ant view’ side cut of ONI. Still, it has been fun to play, and I did get it at a bargain at least.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

A Wurm Christmas Present

Each year the developers of Wurm Online give players a unique gift for those who are premium. It has becoming a long tradition, one I quite enjoy. This year the reward is a checkers board – and you can actually play the game with another player. It’s quite beautiful, and opens some opportunities for people to get together and play at impalongs and the like. Players who missed out on the unique version can also craft one in game.

I’ve been trying to collect the rest of the Christmas gifts from years gone by, I think all I’m missing is a garden gnome.

Thank you Wurm Online developers & staff!

Down Goes a Kyklopse

I joined in with 87 others to take down this foe on the harmony server. It was a lot of fun and I was glad to participate. I also joined in a sermon group over at the Sklotopolis deed and have been working on raising my faith up. I left my character there for a few days 24/7 to provide .02 faith to other preachers, and I myself went from 40 to 52. One of my long term wurm goals has always been to reach 100 faith, but I don’t see that actually happening. As this is my Fo priest, I’ll be content with 70, which will allow me to cast genesis.

My vynora priest recently hit 70, and now I’m working on getting enchanted grass created with her.

I’ve also decided to join a very large village, something I probably would not have dreamed of doing in the past. We’ll see how that works out.

Christmas Baking

This year I wanted to do some Christmas baking with the kids – especially since covid has our holidays looking a lot different than normal. Our province has been pretty slack in restrictions but recently decided that the holidays will be restricted to immediate family only (except you can still go shopping with your extended family, eat at a restaurant, or do any number of other activities).

Anyway, we’ve made butter tarts, rice crispy treats with dates instead of marshmallow, a gingerbread village, and now we’ve made Christmas nougat. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I don’t think I’ve ever had nougat before – but this was simple and delicious. I’ll definitely be making it in the future.
