Harvest Gamer - Harvest is Plentiful, Labourers Few

1. An hour is plenty of time. It's my fault for not treating time as a precious commodity . I viewed time as something expendable. Or I'm always telling myself that I'll have time for things tomorrow. But time moves forward. We can't bring time back once it's spent.  It's not about pressuring myself to do something early on; or adoring deadlines; but it's about trusting that one hour is plenty of time. What's ironic is that my work involves time management aka university exams. So there was one time that I could not sleep at all. Not at all . I was still awake at 4 AM. I had no choice but to start the day early. A Monday to boot. I played New World for one hour: hence fought off a lot of enemies, completed nine quests, and earned about 3k gold coins. Then went back to bed at 5 AM to try to get some shut eye for an hour before getting up again at 6 AM. Maybe it's the one in one hour . One surely sounds small. But one hour is still 60 minutes. A t...

Exciting news as Palworld: Feybreak, Palworld's next major update, releases on December 23.  The major update will add a new island that developers claim to be six times bigger than Sakurajima Island . There is also a new Faction leader to beat, new weapons at your disposal (such as the M1 Garand, AK-47, SMG, and a plasma sword). And also new pals to capture. I'm mostly excited that they're adding another building theme. Specifically, are we expecting a new plantation? Check out the official trailer below. So now that I have Palworld at least to help me enjoy the winter break. And I'll say additional brownie points to Pocket Pair on adding a major season update despite their current lawsuit situation. I'm glad to see the game and the map slowly growing. This extends Palworld's overall longevity for both single-player and multiplayer sessions.

Source: Krafton inZOI announced that it will hit early access on March 28, 2025 . Honestly, I would say that they take their time. Life By You getting cancelled only added the hunger for a fresh life-sim. inZOI looks very interesting. And I prefer to have inZOI take their time for a successful launch as it's primed for the life-sim market with rivals like Paralives and Sims 4. What's the big deal with inZOI? Create beautiful ZOIs. Gorgeous weather dynamic. Customize the world according to your play theme. Impressive build mode. Open world with live map. The beautiful character creation, the live open world, and gorgeous weather dynamic are the deal makers. The building aspect is secondary. But I'm impressed on how you can edit the overarching theme for your city such as adding the post-apocalypse setting. Sort of like add roleplay into the world. Players will also encounter unexpected life events in the game. Which complements the open world and live map similar to Sims 3...

  I saw this thing, an online queue: I vaguely remember "standing online on a queue" during a past Black Friday sale from another store. EMPHASIS ON VAGUELY.  While I understand the sentiment (to save bandwidth, lots of visitors?, etc.), isn't it the point to have an online store so you can purchase something immediately? Hopefully without a queue. It's just weird, but it's a thing. Fortunately, I only had to wait about 6 minutes TO BROWSE, since my lunch was done and I was going back to work. 

Fantasy Life is a simulation game on the Nintendo 3DS which was simply amazing. Fantasy Life played as a delightful fantasy action RPG with a personal touch of immersion charm to it. You can play and switch between 12 classes at any time and complete various tasks in an open-world fantasy RPG. You can also buy houses and be able to decorate them. I liked Fantasy Life better than Rune Factory for the Nintendo 3DS on the overall gameplay. But Fantasy Life lacked the further character development that Rune Factory had. That is, you can get married in Rune Factory, and you can only improve your social bond with your ally in Fantasy Life. Honestly, I didn't even hire any allies on my first playthrough.  Heck even the My Time games flourish in character development, but you're stuck as a craftsman there. Fantasy Life is definitely worth your cozy games collection. However the sequel is delayed which was supposed to release this October 10. The game is slated now to release on April 2...

I've lost confidence with The Sims 4 after seeing this ad before I could start the game. I am back playing Sims 2 again. Also, I'm trying to see on getting back on Sims 3 but with all content. I just have three reasons why I lost confidence with Sims 4. 1. Because seeing an ad on my game makes me ask why I even bother. I've pre-ordered the last two expansion packs. Then I see a pre-order to the Life and Death expansion pack -- on my game screen. So I wonder, what worth do my last two purchases brought me? In my case, I installed the packs, launched the game, and then see such ad. I haven't even played the new game yet!  I absolutely see a saturated shop of never ending folly. The game feels worthless now, because I can't find the appreciation for the ones I have. There was a time when players bought all of the content. AND that they were still eager to buy the next pack. These days, it feels like please stop . I'm inundated with content for sale and they still p...
