Hey there, fellow gamers, or allow me to call you Norpaners! Welcome to the very first edition of “Patch Notes from My Brain”, a monthly gaming diary where I share my gaming highs, lows, random thoughts, and personal updates.
Whether you’re here for gaming tips, relatable rants, or just a little company on your screen time, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in!
General Brain Fixes
July came with a few mental updates and bug fixes. I realized I can’t play five games at once (no matter how tempting the Steam sales).
I had too many coffees that extended my gaming schedule by +3 hours during those late-night grind sessions. It was hard, but I finally accepted the fact that I am doomed to play mostly solo since I can’t just stick to one game.
You see, being a blogger for Norpan isn’t just fun, it is an amazing experience where you find yourself playing 6 different games a month so you can keep the content coming. That’s why general brain fixes are a must EVERY MONTH.
Gaming Logs
1. Guild Wars 2:
Returned to Tyria with big solo-main energy. My Mechanist Golem now has a personality, and we are besties. Also got lost in Verdant Brink for half an hour.
10/10 vibes, 3/10 navigation skills.
Of course, that was the reason why I decided to write a solo-friendly guide for Guild Wars 2 (I am a mastermind, don’t you think?).
2. GTA V Online:
I came back to the game thinking that I would rock Los Santos. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to buy my first garage. So excited to have a place to park my destroyed car (because I can’t drive like a normal human being).
Thank God I found out about these top vehicle mods, and I can finally park my Tesla with style (okay, maybe with a few scratches too).
3. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit:
The day I started questioning my whole existence was the day I decided to play this game for the first time.
10/10 vibes, 11/10 life lessons
Just try it and you will understand that our mind is an actual superhero. 100% recommended!!

Note to self: robbing a gas station with a scooter = bad idea.
Random Inner Thoughts
Just a little brain static that showed up at 2 AM and refused to leave. I don’t claim they’re helpful, only honest.
- What if all I really want is to decorate virtual houses forever?
- I don’t want to PvP… but I want PvP rewards… but I don’t want to PvP. Is this what inner conflict feels like? I blame AION for that!
- I logged in just to organize my inventory. Is that still playing?
- Can you have a midlife crisis in an MMO?
- I’m not grinding. I’m just aggressively vibing with purpose.
- I said ‘just five minutes’ and then the sun came up. Again!!!
Goals for Next Patch
- Write at least one full blog post picked from the draft graveyard (trust me, it’s a mess).
- Try one new game I’ve been ignoring in my library.
- Touch grass. Or at least touch the “exit game” button before 2 AM.
- Figure out why I own 4 different horror games and play none of them.
Current Status
Buffed but Tired
Motivation fluctuating, inspiration rising. Coffee supplies holding.
And that concludes this month’s brain dump, complete with typos, caffeine-induced buffs, and at least three side quests I invented mid-sentence (because I can). If you read this far, congratulations: you’ve gained +1 Wisdom (and probably lost -2 Sanity). Catch you next month, unless I get busted by the Los Santos P.D. and forget I have a blog. Again! See you in Patch 2025.08.
