First post since Blaugust was over, pretty easy to fall out of established routine. Even though it also was my birthday this week, so I have an excuse. Probably last crazy week out of this visit home, summer is over, birthday season almost finished, just a couple of things left to sort out before travelling.

Final post of this years marathon. Wrote 31 post (this one is 32nd), now it’s time to do a little recap and final thoughts. All the posts are available in Blaugust category or with Blaugust 2026 tag
Steam reviews sometimes can be quite something, but you can also find some interesting topics for discussions and blog posts randomly after checking some games. Review on the screenshot is from Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era and there are many that share this same sentiment – we want PvE content, but you focus on PvP. We already were talking about this on stream in the past multiple times, so seeing that review made me screenshot it and start a draft for this post.
Blaugust is almost over and the autumn is at our doorstep already, weather sure didn’t wait for its appointment time. Big posting today to wrap up Blaugust and finish the challenge properly, but that’s after the stream, for now just a bit of plans and scheduling.
Watching Gamescom Opening Night Live properly with my friends
And last full week of Blaugust is almost over now, only one more day left. It did feel like weeks were disappearing really fast, but looking back at the whole month it actually wasn’t that fast – lots of stuff done, spent a lot of time with friends and family, posted a lot of blog posts.
Hand-crafted with pure creativity and madskillz back in a day
Time to touch this hot topic a bit, today’s gaming news recap was full of AI related news, opinion pieces and interviews, feel like it’s a good time to look at it from my angles today. Not gonna do any moral and ethical grandstanding here, because I don’t think I’m a beacon of ethics and moral myself and I surely play/use/consume other things that aren’t clean from ethics and moral perspective.
So that secret appointment I mentioned last week was my HoMM3 Remake remote play session that Ubisoft invited me to. This week was a bit weird, since I had my plans with friends during Gamescom Opening Night Live show and for next couple of days too, so I returned streaming when it was all announced and discussed somewhat. Another issue is that my gameplay footage captured by demoists haven’t arrived yet, so I don’t have my own screenshots and video material to show and to talk on stream. For now just “trust me, bro”.
Gotta keep up the pace of posting, planned to post on Thursday, but ended up returning home quite late and skipping it, but at least Saturday no plans so far, so I’ll have time then for a couple. Should succeed with the challenge if I post 2 per day for the rest of the month and I did this already earlier, so shouldn’t be a problem.
Blood Dungeon Character. As SFW as possible with this one I guess
Got three new games in, even though one released some time ago, I just couldn’t fit it somewhere in the schedule, especially after I already played the demo before. But today I actually got it and even got to one of the endings, so quite a productive First Look Friday, all bangers too.
Khiva, Uzbekistan. Living and walking inside the old fortress that could fit Aladdin movie
28th of August 2023 was the day when I packed my suitcases and left home to return next time only two years after. Wasn’t an easy decision, not some “searching for life’s meaning” kind of trip, more like just diving into the unknown with questionable perspectives, pushed by circumstances. Most of the circumstances are still around and perspectives are still questionable with some new challenges rising regularly, but I got through 3 years of this life and enjoying it still.
