Back on My Colony Builder B.S. (And Also... Kirby's a Car Now?!)
Contains Spoilers (but the fun kind)
Hey Nerdz,
We’re diving into the gaming world today because your girl has fallen right back into her addiction — colony builders.
I don’t know why I love organizing digital societies when I literally do that in real life. Like, this is my career. My daily grind. And yet… here I am, voluntarily doing it for fun.
Someone explain the logic.
Actually—don’t. I’m too deep in already. 🫠
Timberborn – Beavers. Building. Bliss.
Let’s start light. I recently downloaded Timberborn. I haven’t played much yet because I’ve seen enough gameplay to know the gist:
-
Post-human world.
-
Beavers are the new builders.
-
They’re smarter than me.
It’s super popular for a reason. If you love the kind of game where water management becomes your full personality? This one’s for you. I’ll do a deeper dive later when I get fully into it.
Against The Storm – The Queen Is Watching... And Judging
Now THIS? This is the one. The one that’s got me by the digital soul.
Against the Storm has been in early access forever. So when it officially released, I was like “Yup. Mine.”
It’s a colony builder plus world-builder. A whole world map. Queen-given orders. And three (soon four!) different species to juggle and keep happy.
You’re basically acting as the Queen’s little colonization contractor — building settlements under her banner. But here’s the twist:
If she’s not happy?
Game. Over.
There's a bar that tracks her impatience, and trust me — she will snap if you slack. It's stressful, it’s beautiful, and it’s completely consuming. I've lost hours of my life to it already and have no regrets.
It’s giving:
📜 “Serve the Crown.”
😅 “Hope she doesn’t notice I’m behind on food.”
🎯 “Just one more expedition…”
Kirby: The Pink Puffball Goes 3D and Eats a Car
And now, for something completely different:
KIRBY. IS. A. CAR.
I downloaded Kirby and the Forgotten Land and I am giddy.
You think I’m joking?
No. This lil' puffball eats a whole-ass car and becomes it.
Tell me Kirby’s not on Mario’s level of overpowered at this point. I dare you.
It’s not just the transformation that excites me — it’s the fact that we’re finally getting a 3D Kirby experience that feels like an adventure, not just a side-scrolling platformer. It’s bright. It’s beautiful. It’s chaotic.
And I haven’t even fully played it yet beyond the demo! I’m holding out till I can binge it properly and lose hours to it just like my colony sims.
Final Thoughts: Games Got Me in a Chokehold (Again)
Whether I’m trying to please a royal overlord or turn into a sentient pink sedan, I’m just happy to be gaming again.
There’s a LOT out there — and while some games are duds, others hit deep in the brainstem and say, “Yeah, you live here now.”
So if you need me, I’ll either be feeding beavers, praying to the Queen, or racing around in Kirby-form.
Till next time,
QueenxLexii 🏗️👑🚗💖
(Later nerds~)
