Q1 2023 gaming goal reflection

​It’s the end of march and I have returned with my first quarterly gaming goal update! Let’s chat about how the first quarter goals went and tomorrow I’ll share my new goals :)

​goal #1 - play legend of zelda: breath of the wild (for real this time)

I have been having soo much fun playing breath of the wild! This is the most I’ve ever played of a zelda game. I also finished the first four shrines on my own without looking anything up which, for me, is shocking.
​
Since the game is pretty gigantic and this is my first zelda game experience, I wound up buying the game guide which is absolutely gorgeous. I want to keep chipping away at this game over the rest of the year (lmao I am probably the slowest and most patient gamer of all time) and having access to a physical players guide for when I get stuck feels so satisfying and nostalgic to use!

​goal #2 - catch up on cataloguing my pokémon card collection

​This got partially done? I put all my cards into binder pages but I didn’t end up actually putting the cards into my collection spreadsheet or organizing them into their proper sets. Honestly, I got them out of their little chaotic piles that cluttered our game room and they are in a binder, so that’s good enough for me!

​goal #3 - finish the loremaster of eastern kingdoms achievement in world of warcraft

I did this! Now I am just leveling a new main and chilling for a bit until I feel up to questing in Outland again.

​goal #4 - get to generation 5 of my sims 2 nostalgia legacy

I don’t think I played much of this legacy challenge because I got sucked back into my Pleasantview save instead. I started a fresh Pleasantview file in April 2021 and have been playing it off and on since. Right now I am playing through Round 5 and I plan to play it until all of the OG sims die whether that be by old age or accident.

I played through three households in Pleasantview over the last few months:

house #1 - alexander goth

Alexander is a gay icon hooking up with literally everyone in town and I love him so much. He just graduated from university with his philosophy degree and lives alone. He lives in a house that he bought with his half of the Goth fortune and he’s currently unemployed living off of his dead dad’s money.

house #2 - nina caliente + brandi broke’s (rip) twins trevor and poppy

Nina aged into an elder and has custody of Brandi’s kids because Nina and Brandi were dating and I needed a place with more room since Brandi had twins that couldn’t fit in her trailer. The same day that the Brokes moved into Nina’s house, Brandi got food poisoning and died, all while I was off watching whatever Nina was doing so I didn’t even notice.

Anyway, now Nina keeps trying to hook up with the entire town per usual while Trevor and Poppy are going to high school. They all can barely afford their bills and live paycheck to paycheck.

house #3 - the dreamer family (darren, darlene, dirk, and bosco)
​
The Dreamer got the magic gene lamp a few rounds ago so Darren brought his dead wife Darleen back from the dead. They had a baby named Bosco who is now a child. Dirk went to college with Lilith then moved back home and since he hasn’t rolled the want to talk or see her again, the two are still in love with each other but have not spoken. Dirk recently fell in love with some random girl who keeps inviting out clubbing downtown. He’s also a toy maker for some reason.

​goal #5 - finish round 1 of the berry build a city challenge

I did this!

You can watch all of my sims 4 berry build a city challenge videos over on youtube if you’re feeling ~spicy~ and want to see what’s going on with my silly sims.

Check back tomorrow to see what I picked for my Q2 gaming goals!
