The Hist’s Ultimate Plan: What Are They Really Up To?
The Hist. Sentient, otherworldly trees that whisper to the Argonians, shape their very biology, and seem to have an agenda that no one outside of Black Marsh fully understands. Some might see them as background lore, but me? I think they’re terrifying. They see things. They know things. And they’ve got a plan. But the…

Why MMOs Are More Than Just Games: The Magic of Multiplayer Worlds
Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games are a weird and wonderful beast. On the surface, they’re just sprawling virtual worlds filled with quests, dungeons, and an alarming number of players running around in the exact same fancy armour set. But beneath that, MMOs offer something deeper: an experience that’s as much about the people you meet…

Skyrim’s Best (and Worst) Tagalongs: My Favourite Followers
Ah, Skyrim followers. They’re the loyal (and sometimes insufferable) companions who make adventuring just a little bit easier. Or, depending on your luck, significantly harder. From steadfast mercenaries to morally dubious necromancers, these tagalongs are there to block doorways, set off traps, and sometimes, just sometimes, be actually helpful. But among the hordes of potential…

Moon-Sugar and Skooma: Between Divine Blessing and Addictive Curse
Let’s talk about moon-sugar. To the Khajiit, it’s a sacred gift from the gods, a divine substance woven into the very fabric of their culture. To the rest of Tamriel? Well, it’s basically catnip mixed with crack, and people just cannot stop panicking about it. Moon-Sugar: The Blessed Sweetness For the Khajiit, moon-sugar is far…

The Most Underrated Elder Scrolls Victory – Argonians vs. Oblivion
Today I’m bringing you a short video essay covering one of my all-time favourite slices of Tamrielic lore – heavily debated, I should add! – featuring the Argonians and the Oblivion Crisis. When Mehrunes Dagon’s forces stormed Tamriel, every province burned. But in Black Marsh, the Daedra met something they had never faced before. Was…

Sanguine: Tamriel’s Patron Saint of Bad Decisions
If the Daedric Princes had a dysfunctional family dinner, Sanguine would be the one knocking back a flagon of wine, telling bawdy stories, and encouraging Clavicus Vile to bet his dog in a drinking contest. He isn’t the worst Daedra to run into, but he’s also the kind of entity that’ll lead you into a…

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria – First Impressions from the Depths
I’ve always had a soft spot for dwarves. They’re short, grumpy, stubborn, and slightly obsessed with shiny things. Relatable, really. So when The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was announced, I knew I had to get in there. A survival crafting game set in the depths of Moria, filled with mining, smithing, and…

Why Do We Keep Replaying the Same Games? A Love Letter to Comfort Gaming
At this point, I’ve probably spent more time in Skyrim than I have in my own living room. I’ve slayed Alduin more times than I care to count, saved the same guards from the same bandit attacks, and, for reasons I still don’t quite understand, I continue to pick up every single cheese wheel I…

How Gaming Affects Mental Health: Pros and Cons
Video games and mental health. This is a discussion that’s been going on for years, often bouncing between extremes. Either gaming is saving lives or it’s ruining them, depending on which clickbait headline you happen to stumble across. But, as with most things, the truth sits somewhere in the middle. Gaming is an escape, a…

New Jenesque Gaming Merch: Cosy, Cute, and Slightly Chaotic
Well, I finally found time to create some more super cute designs for merch, and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all! If you’ve ever looked at your wardrobe and thought, “What I really need is a cosy hoodie that screams ‘I’m a gamer, but also ridiculously adorable,’” then you’re…

Shadowscales, Sithis, and Secrets: The Deadly Art of Argonian Assassins
When you think of assassins in The Elder Scrolls, your mind probably jumps to a Dunmer in tight-fitting leathers, whispering sweet nothings about Mephala and poison-coated daggers. Maybe you think of the Dark Brotherhood, with their creepy rituals and penchant for unsettling nursery rhymes. But lurking in the shadows of Tamriel’s deadliest killers are the…

Diablo IV: Six Seasons In – A Hellish Rollercoaster (and Why Season 6 is My Fav)
For the past few years, I’ve been hacking, slashing, looting, and min-maxing my way through Diablo IV, and now, six seasons in, I feel like I’ve earned the right to sit back (for about five minutes) and reflect on the journey so far. The seasonal model has kept things fresh, occasionally chaotic, and sometimes outright…

Moon-Sugar and Mad Gods: The Complicated Relationship Between the Khajiit and the Daedra
The Khajiit have always fascinated me. Their lore is steeped in this beautiful balance of mystery and darkness, divinity and danger. They aren’t just another beastfolk race in Tamriel—they are a culture deeply woven into the celestial fabric of the world, with beliefs that challenge the rigid lines drawn by other societies. And, let’s be…

FFXIV | Gyr Abanian Plait OMG
My recent Final Fantasy XIV fashion endgame moment: my beautiful Viera got the hairstyle she’s always dreamed of having. 🤩 Gyr Abanian Plait was a runner up in a community hairstyle design contest back in 2015. All of the winners in that competition designed excellent hairstyles, but this one is so utterly beautiful and tends…

ESO Housing | Festive Market Town
As mentioned in my previous housing post, here is my first ever custom, from-scratch housing build in The Elder Scrolls Online. It’s a festive market town using Stillwaters Retreat as a canvas. Stillwaters is the perfect house to set a winter themed build due to the exterior frozen lake, with gorgeous snow-capped trees and mountains…

ESO Housing | Secret Ayleid Library
Um… I got into housing in The Elder Scrolls Online. It’s only been almost 10 years, but yes, the housing bug finally bit me. One advantage to getting into housing right now is there are tons of beautiful houses and furnishings available, as well as many useful guides, the housing tour system, and a number…

7 Days to Die Version 1.0!
Well, it’s finally happened. After over a decade in early access (yes, really), 7 Days to Die has officially hit Version 1.0. If you’re anything like me, you probably never thought you’d see the day. But here we are, and against all odds, the game has emerged from the primordial soup of alpha builds into…
