Overview of (blog) life in July 2021

July 2021 was big on real life, but also on GOG releases and some game reviews, too.

Both milestones in life were part of the COVID-19 situation, but thankfully in a positive way:

Milestone reached: First Coronavirus vaccination
Milestone reached: Wedding reception

The overviews were squeezed in between all sorts of more time-pressing articles:

One would usually prepare for these gaming events by saving up vacation time, but as they will be digital, these will be different experiences:

Upcoming gaming events: devcom digital 2021
Upcoming gaming events: gamescom digital 2021

At the time of writing I’m in full game review copies playing/writing mode, and with devcom and gamescom accreditations confirmed, the next week and therefore overview will be all the busier.
