Friday's #DailyBlogroll has a bunch of cool news you can use by Wilhelm, Tipa, @sypster.bsky.social, Oya, Kimimi, Aywren, Marc, Owls, Welsh Troll, @inventoryfull.bsky.social, The Friendly Necromancer, Frostilyte and more! westkarana.xyz

Syp spots a complete City of Villains box at a thrift store, a cheap little relic that lands like equal parts nostalgia and melancholy. Tipa finds EverQuest Legends’ no-respawn instances turn Splitpaw and Befallen into relaxed, old-school dungeon crawls instead of charm-break repop disasters. Frostilyte pitches ShantyTown as a cozy digital diorama-builder where tight spaces, curated objects, and light planning puzzles make every snapshot count. Kimimi makes the case for glorious 6/10 games like Kaze no NOTAM and Colony 28—messy, flawed, fascinating swings she can’t help loving. Owls is having a blast with Warframe’s Fables & Frontiers, a chat-driven Amir campaign that nails tabletop energy with slash commands and in-character chaos. Oya calls Servant of the Lake classic Rusty Lake: smart point-and-click puzzles, great atmosphere, and better with a mouse than Steam Deck controls. Marc argues early JRPG history is broader than Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, setting up why Emerald Dragon deserves a modern re-release. Wilhelm says Planet Crafter keeps snowballing, with teleporters, T5 drills, bigger backpacks, and freer exploration once oxygen and water stop being problems. The Friendly Necromancer shares another D&D journal entry, with cultists, collapsing magic barriers, soul-crushing spells, and a warforged hilariously stuck in a wall. Bhagpuss turns a drawerful of old badges into a cheerful nostalgia rummage, with '90s ephemera and at least one Batman: The Animated Series pin. Aywren digs into why gaming posts got harder to write, from lower motivation to too many half-remembered sessions in FFXIV and Planet Crafter. Welsh Troll weighs the promise and headaches of a community blogging platform, from discovery and shared tooling to moderation, costs, and giving up control.
