March 2023 Gaming Goals in Review
Posted on March 31
This was the first time I tried my hand at some gaming goals in a good while. I did feel a little pressured to get them all done, but I’m also pleased with the outcome of rising to the challenge. How did I do? Let’s find out!
PC Game Pass Exploration: March 2023
Posted on March 30
One of my goals this year is to try to get as much out of my PC Game Pass subscription as I can. So during the month of March, I vowed to try at least one new game a week. Here’s how this turned out for me!
Sims 4 – Green to Queen (Bad to Good Challenge)
Posted on March 20
In my previous post I wrote about how I had picked up the newest Sims 4 expansion (which I’ve really enjoyed) and that I’d rediscovered my Bad to Good Challenge family to explore it.
Sims 4: Growing Together Expansion Releases
Posted on March 17
Yesterday, the newest expansion pack for Sims 4, titled Growing Together, released. While there was a lot of hype around it due to the fact that this was a lot of stuff family players wanted, I didn’t pre-order and waited to see what people said about the pack on release.
PC Gamepass Exploration: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
Posted on March 16
For last week’s Gamepass pick, I chose to check out Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. I’ve seen the game around here and there, but had no idea what it was really about.

Applesoft BASIC – Coding Like it's 1985!
Posted on March 6
One of the things I discovered in this box was dot-matrix print-outs of old Applesoft BASIC code that were passed out in one of my earliest computer classes. I’d say this was about 4th-5th grade, and we were working on old Apple IIe machines, since that was the standards for schools back then.

Back in August of last year, I wrote about how I wanted a side alt in FFXIV that somewhat represented myself. Though my main has been Ben since the Great Main Switcheroo of 2021, I had that longing feeling for a character that I could identify with. I chose my bunny, then under the name of Fljot.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written out gaming goals like this, but I feel like I’ve of a mindset to start this up again – at least for this month. We’ll see if I feel like following up on it again next month.
