Schedule & Updates

September 2026

The place to read up on all the stuff I plan on writing this month and what I´m cooking up for the near future in general. As always, the schedule I talk about here is subject to change. Stuff might take longer or things may happen in the gaming space that might take priority. 

Starting this month, I’m going to mark each subject in these updates with a header. To make things more digestible and thus easier to glance at. 

The Schedule

Let’s start with this bit; it is the first word in the title after all!

There’s room for two regularly scheduled posts this month.
First up, on September 5th, we have:

This is that ‘Forspoken-like’ game I alluded to in last month’s update. Less in gameplay, more in that it is ‘a fantasy action-adventure title with a black female lead’. As you can expect from an Indie title, it’s not as big and grand as Forspoken but in may ways I feel like it’s more like what Forspoken should’ve been instead of an unfocused, ‘empty’ open-world. 

I didn’t make such a direct comparison in the review itself, as that one is about Echoes of the End on its own merits, but to those familiar with Squar Enix’ failed open-world title I think you can see what I mean once you’ve read the review – or played Echoes of the End for yourself. 

And following that review on September 19th is:

I can be rather quick about this one. I went on a bit of a “DS nostalgia” tour in August and me buying this game again is a result of that. Dawn of the Dragon is the 1st Spyro game that I actually liked and thus wanted to experience again. That you’re nostalgic for something doesn’t mean the thing is actually good though. A ‘Ben 10: Vilgax Attacks’ this game isn’t… but you can read all about that at the end of the month.

Looking to the horizon: stuff’s about to drop. Like, a lot of stuff. I have Fortune’s Weave on pre-order but considering how long Fire Emblem games are, that review realistically won’t drop until November or even December. Marvel’s Wolverine may or may not also find its way on my shelves this month (not certain yet) but I am certain that the new Ghost of Yōtei expansion will be played and reviewed. 

In the meantime, you can expect some more retro reviews. To all the people that have commented on my Zeldra Ranking post that A Link to the Past is missing: you can stop. I’m playing it now and you can read all about my experience with that title sometime in October. 

An updated look

There’s quite a bit of empty space on the left side of each article, isn’t there? I decided to do something with that space, fill it with something, but unfortunately with the style I’ve chose for my blog Bloggers own build-in tools don’t allow you to put something on the left. 

And so, I find myself neck deep into coding. It has taken up A LOT of my time but right now, I have the setup I imagined working on the test blog I set up. The ‘About Me’ has moved to the left with something entirely new (and exciting?) thing sitting below it. 

It is working… but not beautifully. That setup might look spiffy, on the back end, it’s held together by duct tape and pieces of string, so to speak. 

I thus won’t be launching this updated look, which is only applicable to actual articles and not the rest of the blog just so you know, not on September 1st as I intended but a little later. I’d rather work on it a bit longer and launch it in a stable than in a state in which it could, technically, fall apart if Blogger pushed even a small update to its tools. 

Once it arrives, I hope you’ll find it just as much of an improvement as I think it is!

Readership

It’s a story of peaks and valleys; or at least, that how it feels sometimes. After about 4 months of growth, August’s readership lagged behind again. It’s not all the fault of Blogger’s new A.I. moderator flagging thousands of blogs as ‘Malware’ erroneously but it certainly didn’t help.

Fun is something different but the issue has resolved itself and I strive to remain positive: that next month will be better. 

Ads

As you’ve undoubtedly noticed ads have been popping up on my blog. Right now, it’s an experiment. I’m going to leave them up for a month or three and then checkback if they aren’t hurting my little writing space more than they are helping them.

This is a hobby and I don’t expect to generate an income from it. But it would be nice if the Blog could pay for its own domain costs, you get me?

As always, thank you for your continued reading! 

Your Writer,
