Blaugust 2025: How I Come Up With Things to Write About

How to figure out what to write about is often a suggested topic for Blaugust, and it's one that I've talked about over the course of a few Blaugusts past.  As I reflect on it now, I think part of the answer for me is that I only tend to post if I have something that I want to talk about.  

The blog, at its heart, is about my journey through a variety of different video games and my comments on those as an extremely casual, but altoholic player.  So if there has been a lot going on with games that I play, or if I've been trying different things, then I'll probably be posting quite a bit.  If it is pretty much business as usual, this blog may only see two posts a month, with general updates on my leveling progress and any other updates.

Sometimes things will be going on in my personal life that I choose to mention or discuss here.  That was very rare in the early years of this blog, but I find myself doing it more frequently now.  Part of that is an increasing wave of significant life events, as the Joarlings grow up and begin to leave the house, and as I start to contemplate retirement and a likely relocation as part of that.  There is just more on my mind outside of gaming, and sometimes it's helpful to write it down here.

I tend to avoid much in the way of political or social commentary here.  MMO Casual is about gaming, and in some ways about my personal life, and so I try to limit it to that.  Not everything has to be about tribal conflict these days, especially since I'm PvP'ing a lot less than I used to!

The bad news about this being the way I come up with things to write is that I'm running out of ideas for Blaugust this year.  I was hoping to finish strong with good posts for the last three days of this week, but we'll have to see.  It's also a hectic time at work for me right now, which isn't helping matters.

Cheers,

Joar
