Mega Life Update! Joining Blissful Cleaning | Blissful Cleaning Blog Mega life update! What is up, everyone? I know I haven't been keeping up with all my reviews as promised, and I feel a little bad about it. BUT it finally happened, I landed a job after looking for months. Once I get more used to working, I'll be back to doing content for myself.  What am I doing? Well, I am working for a cleaning company called Blissful Cleaning. We Specialize In Commercial, Residential, Airbnb's, Boat Detailing, & Windows/Screens.  Now there is a wide range of services that are covered in all of that.  Bathrooms, I think, are my go-to clean. There is just so much to clean. I always end up starting with either the toilet or the shower/tub. It just depends on the layout. Always remember to clean the sides and base of the toilet because those get dirty, too. You would be surprised if you shone a black light in your bathroom. After that, I end up doing the mirror, coun...

What is Surviving Ceres? Surviving Ceres is a space colony simulator. The concept of this indie survival game is to weather the harsh environment, build a colony, and survive alien attacks. Games like Surviving Ceres, I would say, one is  Planet Crafter . It falls in the same genre of a harsh environment that you want to improve.  Surviving Ceres was developed by Ryan Saunders, who also made the game Game Dev Masters and The Ai Games. Each game was also published by One Man Media. Core Mechanics: How Surviving Ceres Works In this Surviving Ceres review, you'll be able to learn the general concept and maybe a few tips. This single-player Steam game starts off in a rocket with the task of making the planet habitable for you and your soon-to-be crew. You have to be careful of not only your oxygen, but also your food and hunger. You'll start with a few things in your inventory, like water, MRE packs, a pickaxe, a HUD, and some oxygen tanks. I would sugg...

Setting the Scene: A World Built in Voxels and Mutations When looking for crafting and building games on Steam, you might miss this voxel adventure game. Voxile is a quest, craft, loot, build, destroy, and shoot. Where you try to shoot something and accidentally destroy it, but we'll talk about that later. In this Voxile game review, you will learn about this post-apocalyptic voxel game. You might be wondering what a voxel is. Well, as you know, there are pixelated games, which are 2D. A voxel is the 3D version. So think of it along the lines of indie games like Minecraft.   Voxile was published and developed by VoxRay Games, Inc. The game was released on March 10th of this year.  Loot, Build, Repeat: Progression in Voxile When I came into this open-world voxel shooter, it wasn't what I expected. I was thinking it was going to be some kind of sandbox crafting game. I ended up clicking the campaign, and that is where everything was changed.  You st...

UNO except every card is a Wild card. Uno All Wilds is an intense party game for between 2 and 10 players. The average rounds can last between 15 and 30 minutes. Age suggestions are 7 plus, while the BGG (Board Game Geek) community puts it at a 6 plus rating. Mattel published Uno All Wilds, while Nick Hayes was the one who designed it. So, how does this stack up against other Uno games? How to Play Uno Wilds We are so used the the original, having different colors, and numbers on each of the cards, with a few wilds thrown in. Well, let's get into how to play Uno All Wilds, when all the cards are wilds in this family card game. You start off the same as any other game, every player gets 7 cards. If someone gets down to one card, they must say uno before the next person plays/draws a card. If they do not say it in time, they have to draw two cards. Now, if the next person only has one card, you can draw to see if you can get something to stop them. In the original, we are us...

Just One Back Story Recently, I went to an event for my son's school. Their Jazz band and GLVPAA students play at this event. It's a ticketed event, where you get food, dessert, and drinks, and listen to the music. There are raffles for prizes, and to make a long story short, we won a pack with a lovely blanket and some tabletop games.  On a side note, I was dying laughing at the band teachers. One was playing the piano to accompany the solo student, as the other was turning the pages for him. It was adorable and hilarious at the same time.  What is Just One? With that out of the way, Just One is a 3 to 7-player game where you really have to think outside of the box, but not too outside the box. Its age range is for ages 8+. It has two designers, Ludovic Roudy and Bruno Sautter. Two artists, Éric Azagury and Florian Poullet. Just One also won the Spiel des Jahres award! Everyone gets a stand and a marker, but also has to get ready to use their brain.  The c...

Dinkum Gameplay Review: Relaxing Vibes and Crocodile Chases I can't remember when, but sometime within the last month, there was a free weekend for this game, and I managed to actually pay attention to it and play it for a few days.  Go me for paying attention to the ad carousel. So I wanted to share my thoughts on this Animal Crossing-like survival simulator.  Dinkum is a multiplayer, build a life, explore, and really another game like Animal Crossing. It just falls into that genre pretty well. It was developed by James Bendon and published by KRAFTON, Inc. The game came out in July of 2022 and seems to have some regular updates in the new hubs portion of the landing page on Steam, between patch notes and bug fixes. Steam's free weekend of the game really helped me test it out to see if I really liked it or not. Dinkum is now fully released now in 2025. So, stay and read this Dinkum game review. Dinkum Gameplay Overview The story starts off at a depressing place wher...

Critter Cove: Washed Ashore and Wonderstruck This lovely game came out in September of last year. Developed and published by Gentleman Rat Studios. It's described as an open world, town-building, life sim. Critter Cove is set in some kind of post-apocalyptic world, where animals and people live, and for some reason keep getting shipwrecked on places. I would think the lore has to do with some kind of flooding, as there are many islands and sunken towns to explore. This game reminds me of what I would like Animal Crossing to be.  From Trash to Treasure: Crafting, Collecting, and Upgrading As mentioned, it's a town-building sim. So the troupe of you wash up, found by a mayor of sorts that runs a shop where you can sell/buy things. The only difference is that he just gives you a house. (instead of sticking you in a mortgage) The character creation was the coolest thing ever, with so many options, and I think kid me would be very happy with the result. Of course, I neede...
