Let’s talk about gender, shall we? We shall because it’s my blog and I can do what I want. Also because gender is important–and yet, I wish it weren’t. Let me hastily add that I don’t want to take gender away from anyone for whom it’s important. My BFF, K, and I have discussed whether… Continue Reading
I have hated most holidays all my life. The only holiday I liked was Halloween, and it’s because black is a featured color. Plus, you can dress up in a costume as an adult and it’s not weird. That’s pretty cool. I did a bait-and-switch yesterday in that I was gonig to talk about holidays,… Continue Reading
I’m in a pensive mood. Not just because of the holidays, but just because of gestures at the world all around. There are people who believe that voting for that man is ‘just politics’ and why would someone end a friendship/family relationship over ‘just politics’? And why are we (those on the left) being soooooooooooooo intolerant? Aren’t… Continue Reading
Still musing about capitalism and holidays. I was at Cubs, and Christmas music was blaring from the overhead speaker. In November. No. Just–no. I mean, it’s better than the year I saw a Christmas ad in the first week of October, but not by much. Here is my post from yesterday. I used to hate… Continue Reading
It’s Black Friday, y’all. When did this become such a thing? I’ve never been a shopping kind of person, so I don’t understand why this is such a big deal to people. Then again, I also am not someone who is heavily influenced by marketing. I am not loyal to brands. I mean, if something… Continue Reading
It’s Thanksgiving today here in the states. Given the state of the country, I’m not feeling very thankful. I’m not feeling t all grateful. I’m fearful for what is to come in the upcoming years. I was going to set that aside, but I can’t do it quite yet. I’m still not over what happened… Continue Reading
As I was running errands this afternoon, I had MPR on. There was a program about social awkwardness and how to deal with it. The snippet I heard seemed to be focused on how awkwardness has increased since the pandemic. The guests were varied with one of them being a philosophy professor. I think another… Continue Reading
Let’s talk reviews some more. In the last post, I touched upon how I have different standards when I review indie games, especially those that are made by devs with less than twenty-five people. I know I put a lower number on it yesterday, but I do think anything up to twenty-five is very small.… Continue Reading
I’m writing even more about how I review things, specifically games. Here is the post I wrote about it yesterday. Today, I want to talk about how I have different criteria for different games. I don’t think that’s controversial, but what do I know? I’m sure there are plenty of people who think you should… Continue Reading
I’m still talking about reviews because I can. And because I find it an interesting topic. I detoured into what I disliked about Lies of P (Round8 Studio/NEOWIZ) in yesterday’s post. It wasn’t completely on topic, but it wasn’t completely off it, either. The part that wasn’t off topic was that reviewing is so subjctive.… Continue Reading
