Finding motivation

It is the fourth week of Blaugust, and the topic is on staying motivated. I normally don't post very frequently on my blog, so any increase over perhaps two or three times in a month is a significant goal for me....

Blogging about games becomes harder

There was a time for me when blogging about games was easy. I was gaming almost daily and my time spent in front of a console or PC games machine probably averaged two or three hours per day, seven days per week....

Finding photos I currently have about 19,000 photos on my Apple iCloud account. That means a lot of pictures exist but are not actively remembered, which I suppose is kind of sad. Apple's Photos app, however, has a feature that takes a small step to remedy that. Much like Facebook's similar feature, Photos pops up a picture from your Library now and then. https://www.kgadams.net/short-form-thoughts/finding-photos

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: too hard for me Overview I spent about 60 hours playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 earlier in 2026. I gave up, though, right about the point where the game is supposed to start getting good. The difficulty curve just wore me out. There is a great deal to like about KCD2: deep, complex systems; a realistic skill development tree; some manageable difficulty in the form of gear wear mechanics; a deep story and a vast, realistic medieval setting… https://aginggamer.net/game-reviews/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-too-hard-for-me/
