I ain’t got time for that, part three

I’m back to talk more about gatekeeping, traditions, and whatever else happens to be on my mind. In yesterday’s post, I talked about how once your eyes are open to something, it’s really hard to close them again. I sometimes wondered if there was a way I could have been normal.

Tradition, gatekeeping, and anarchy, part two

Let’s talk more about tradition and gatekeeping because the two go hand-in-hand much of the time. In yesterday’s post, I mentioned how much I hate gatekeeping.

I don’t know why no one’s talking about it (I had written… Continue Reading

Schrödinger’s Call–A Quick Look, part two

I’m back for the second part of A Quick Review of Schrödinger’s Call (Acrobatic Chirimenjako) after playing the third chapter. I mentioned at the end of the last post how I would probably need a break before playing the third chapter, and I was right. I love this game. I adore it with all my… Continue Reading
