I love FromSoft games, but they do not love me back. This is the story of my life, by the way. Because of how I was raised, I want those who do not want me. That’s not this post so I will not get into it. I’m just saying that I am most comfortable with… Continue Reading
At the end of the last post, I was musing about being on the inside or the outside and why people don’t like outsiders. I got tired and abruptly ended the post so I wanted to expand on it in this one. For a lot of people (especially cishet white guys), there’s an over-identifitcation with… Continue Reading
In the last post about gatekeeping, I went on a wild tangent about my mother and how she did not accept any part of my being so I stopped telling her anything of importance. It relates to gatekeeping because when I was in my early thirties, I finally realized that I would never be what… Continue Reading
As I have written about before, I am a big fan of the genre of TV shows I call ‘cozy competitions’, such as Sugar Rush, the original The Great British Bake Off (with Mel and Sue), and Crazy Delicious. I don’t like the ones that are designed to make the contestants look mean or hate… Continue Reading
In the last post, I talked about how an ex dumped me because I was honest about my opinion of Pulp Fiction. After he dumped me, we remained friends. Well, let me be honest. I wanted to get back together with him–why, I do not know– Actually, I do. It’s because my mother hammered it… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about gatekeeping. In the last post, I started with pop culture and then quickly went deep. It’s all related, but I want to try to keep this post light. We’ll see how well I adhere to that. I started the last post talking about someone gatekeeping coffee. “If you can’t… Continue Reading
I was watching an episode of Hot Ones, and the guest was a coffee connoisseur. Sean asked her about the quintesssential coffee, and she said something about someone not truly being a coffee aficionado if they could not drink a coffee black. I rolled my eyes so hard, I think I sprained one of my… Continue Reading
In the last post, I rambled all over the place about Elden Ring in general because that’s my style. I know that the DLC is going to be over-the-top in terms of difficulty because that has become FromSoft’s trademark, but I really hope it doesn’t. Starting with Sekiro, I was hitting the top of my… Continue Reading
Apparently, I have more to say about what I want (what I really, really want) from the Elden Ring DLC. I will be brutally honest. I don’t want really hard bosses that make me cry. I just don’t. I sort of bought into the mentality before my medical crisis. I would never say it out… Continue Reading
I have more to say about what I want from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Here is part two–which means this is part three. I always feel like I’m on the weird side of FromSoft fandom. There’s the “you’re a pussy if you play the game in any way other than the hardest way… Continue Reading
