In yet another way that Belghast is so much better at this than I will ever be, I am very very late indeed getting out the wrap-up post for Blaugust 2025. But! We’re doing it now and that’s what matters, right? RIGHT? Here’s our stats breakdown for 2025. Before I get onto passing out awards,… Continue reading Blaugust 2025 In Review| Nerd Girl Thoughts
I actually managed to keep mostly on track for the goals I thought I would, and am thoroughly unsurprised at the ones I missed. I did re-up my World of Warcraft subscription for a month and never got past the character selection screen, so while that was a miss, it confirmed for me that I… Continue reading In Review – August 2025| Nerd Girl Thoughts
I have zero business trying to set goals today. It’s the last day of Blaugust, and with this post I’ll barely have eked out my goal of the Community Builder award – this is post #15. More than half of those posts happened in the past week. I’m double posting today. And I’m tired, y’all.… Continue reading Nerd Girl Goals – September 2025| Nerd Girl Thoughts
I knew I wanted to say something about this post (Stop Valorizing Introversion) made by Rabbit way back on the 21st, but I found myself really struggling with what I wanted to say. It’s not often I feel absolutely attacked by something that is completely not about me, but this post came out swinging for… Continue reading Some Thoughts on The Introvert / Extrovert Spectrum – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Coincidences are weird. I’ve been working on my 50 Before 50 list, otherwise known as my midlife-crisis spreadsheet (and yes, I know I’m late, why is anyone surprised about this?). One of the items I very recently added to it was this: Then yesterday, I read this post on Forking Mad (To Journal, or Not… Continue reading Even More Room to Write – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts
I don’t know that I would necessarily say it’s a universal experience, but it’s probably more common than we think. I know I feel like I’m an oddball because I struggle so m…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
One of the possible tasks for the #Blaugust2025 Community Builder award is to create or join in a group project. I invited my fellow Blaugust participants to write about something they don’t normally share on their blog that they think their readers would never guess! If you’re following a bunch of bloggers, you may see multiple… Continue reading #Blaugust2025 Group Project -You’d Never Guess, But…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
It might be cheating just a little to call this a response post since it’s technically a post for this week’s theme, which I suppose I could have just written about on my own. However, I had zero intention of even touching the themes this year (I feel like I have done them to death,… Continue reading Grace For Everyone But Me – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts
It’s time again for the quick summary of the August 2025 Humble Choice Bundle. Every month, when the bundle releases, a bunch of us get together on the Blaugust Discord and hash out which games we’re most excited about and divvy up the titles for us each to look at during the month. Some folks just take a… Continue reading Humble Choice – August 2025 Edition| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Okay, this is a bit of a delayed response, but as soon as I read Paeroka’s post (Paeroka’s Ponderings: Can a Game Be Both Cozy and Challenging?), my answer was immediately yes. Even once I read further to her cozy criteria, I knew the first game to pop into my mind fit perfectly. So, what are… Continue reading Cozy and Challenging?

I was supposed to play a game last night. I didn’t have anything specific in mind, but I feel like if I’m not playing anything interesting, I’m not sure what to write about. So I …| Nerd Girl Thoughts
By the start of August, I am absolutely desperate for autumn to show up. I’m one of those people who have a very small window of comfortable temperatures, and although I cope okay when it get…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
After a couple very difficult months, July felt like the first time in a long time I did oh so many things that were both completely non-productive and entirely good for me. I spent a long weekend …| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Two months with no real goals has not been good for me in any way, and I figure it’s not going to serve me any better with Blaugust starting tomorrow. I need to rediscover my focus, and figur…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Yet again, Blaugust is the brain child of Belghast of Tales of the Aggronaut, but this year, it’s a group effort! Check out my Blaugust 2025 intro post for more information or to sign up! As …| Nerd Girl Thoughts
It’s been awhile – almost a year since my last Self-Reflection Sunday, and nearly that long as well since I’ve been posting with any semblance of regularity. In fact, I’ve b…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Some of you may be thinking “Hold up, why are you posting about Blaugust 2025?” and that’s an excellent question. The answer is simple – this year, the inmates are taking over the asylum!&nbs…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
