“You have to forgive them for your sake.” There are few phrases that send me over the edge as quickly as this one and any of its variants. I’ve covered this before, but it’s still something that bugs the shit out of me, especially during this time of #MeToo. I keep thinking about how much… Continue Reading
When I am depressed, I strip out all the extraneous things that I don’t *have* to do on any given day. There are a few things that I force myself to do every day, including my work and writing. I brush my teeth (and floss!) three times a day, and that’s the extent of what… Continue Reading
This is one of those days when I just can’t. Here’s Gregg’s Woods from Night in the Woods, one of my favorite games of all times. I’ve played it three times, and I’m thinking about playing it again because I loved it so much and because there are still a few things I missed the… Continue Reading
A few months ago, my taiji teacher and I arrived at the studio at the same time. The door was already unlocked, which was weird. We went in and there was a guy doing something in the corner. It’s a kettlebell studio, and he presumably was a teacher if he had a key. Or someone… Continue Reading
I was participating in the producers-only stream for RKG yesterday when an interesting thing happened. Somehow, Discord came up and a woman who participates heavily in the FB group said she didn’t feel comfortable in the Discord chatroom. Buncha dudes said you just had to jump in and blah, blah, blah. I told the first… Continue Reading
I’m afraid this is my new normal, being roughly 60%. Every time I get past that point, something happens that sets me back. For example, last night, and TMI for possibly grossness, I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I’m twelve–side note: why are PB&Js considered children’s food?–and a minute later, I had… Continue Reading
When I was in my twenties, I used to joke that I was attracted to the exact wrong person for me. Gay men, straight women, anyone who was taken, or someone who was simply not interested in me*. If I walked into a room with 100 people and 99 were eligible dating partners, I would… Continue Reading
One of the things that irks me the most when people talk about the Soulsborne games is when someone glibly says, “Oh, there’s no story there.” I’ve heard actual games journalists say this, and it irks me every time. There is a story to each game–a pretty deep story with several NPC storylines. It’s just… Continue Reading
The snow, it is real. It’s been a steady accumulation over the last few days, and it’s making me a very happy camper. Indoor camper. Side rant: I love snow. I always have. Ever since I was a little kid and played in the snow as I was bundled up so only my nose was… Continue Reading
My webmaster was switching servers this weekend, so my site was down. That is why there is no real post today. Everything is fixed, and the schedule for the rest of the week will be as usual. Continue Reading
