Yesterday, Iwas talking about games that have disappointed me in this year. I’m not mad, just disappointed. Are there any games I’m mad about? I don’t think so. Speaking of disappointing, though. Here’s the next award. The FromSoft game I really wish I could have played, but I just could not Armored Core VI Fires… Continue Reading
In the decade or so past, I have done my GOTY post around this time. In the lead-up to the GOTY post, I did a post in which I gave cutely named awards to other games. Last year, I didn’t do the latter, mostly because there was only one game I played. That would be… Continue Reading
To continue my musing on Christmas, here is the post from yesterday. No, that isn’t contiuning, but whatever. It’s my blog, and I’ll do whatever I want. For many years, perhaps even over a deacde, I have done a post about my one and only true Christmas carol, O Holy Night. I did a quick… Continue Reading
So. My shtick for the last few decades has been that I hate Christmas carols–except one. I’ll get to that one later, but it’s not competely true–that I hate Christmas carols, I mean. What is more accurate is that I don’t like the schlocky versions that seem to saturate the airwaves in the months (months!)… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I was writing about my distaste for Christmas. Well, hatred. Let’s be real. I used to loathe Christmas. It didn’t have much to do with the holiday itself, but with all the heavy expectations that went along with it. Plus the fact that the holiday spirit commercialization started earlier every year, and I was… Continue Reading
When I was in ninth or tenth grade, I wrote an opinion editorial (“op-ed” in the biz) about how Christmas had become so commercialized. This was over thirty-five years ago, and I was such a naive child back then. I thought I had seen the height of consumerism, but I had seen nothing yet. I… Continue Reading
I have been watching several videos of autism and gender. Well, not exactly. I have been watching the first five minutes of several videos on gender and autism. The reason I haven’t made it past that is–there are several. In one, the woman repeated called herself ‘a female’ and women in general ‘females’. As a… Continue Reading
I don’t watch much TV. The only kinds of shows I really like are what I call gentle competition. Meaning, competitive shows in which the contestants are supportive of each other, rather than “I’m not here to make friends!!!” So, No Cutthroat Kitchen, in other words. I like shows such as Blown Away, Sugar Rush,… Continue Reading
I don’t wear a bra. Ever. I think I might have autism. Bear with me because I think these two things are related. Tenuously, maybe, but related, nonetheless. I also think I have OCD traits. This, too, is related. Let’s start with the bra thing. I hate clothing in general. It all feels so restrictive… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about menopause. I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m going through. I will get it checked out with my doc to make sure. But it clocks with what K went through with perimenopause and menopause. I wrote about it in the past post, but I need to expand on it more now. We need… Continue Reading
