In the last two posts, I have writtena about what I am loooking for in a partner. That is all fine and dandy, but there’s a more important list I need to share–who I am. This is me; I’m not going to change. I may fiddle at the edges and smooth out some of the… Continue Reading
I started a list in my last post about the things I’m looking for in a partner. My first need today seems in direct contract to one of the things I said I needed yesterday. Let’s get on with it. 4. Not too much of an empath. One of the weird things on the RKG… Continue Reading
There is a common trope that if you have a list of characteristics you look for in a partner, you’ll fall for someone who is the exact opposite. There is some validity to it, but that’s more about not being aware of your flaws and the dysfunctions of your family. If you don’t understand how… Continue Reading
Back in the mid-’90s, on Mad TV (a sketch show, like SNL), there was a series of skits called Lowered Expectations. It was a parody of dating ads, and–wow. I rewatched a bunch of them. It’s not as funny as I thought it was at the time. In fact, it’s pretty terrible. Which is too… Continue Reading
New internal martial art, who dis? I’m kidding, of course. Taiji is my forever love, but there’s a new hotness in town caled Bagua. My teacher has practiced it for decades, and she showed me how to walk the circle with DeerHorn Knives ages ago. I was having horrific flashbacks while doing meditation, so my… Continue Reading
I love indie games. I want to state that upfront because I’m going to delve into my frustrations, especially with a specific type of indie game. Binding of Isaac (Edmund McMillen). There. I said it. And to be clear, I adore Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. I 1001%ed it, and then played a run a day… Continue Reading
So, I nattered on and on about this and that in yesterday’s post. My point is, though, that being an ally is more than waving a rainbow flag during Pride weekend. It’s much more than saying, “I like Chinese food. It’s so delicious.” It’s not about showing that you are a good person because you’re… Continue Reading
I have observed a strange phenomenon that isn’t new exactly, but it’s more pronounced with social media. This is not a post about social media in general, though I will note that my use has drastically declined. I don’t look at Facebook at all, and I check in with Twitter maybe once a week for… Continue Reading
In my last post, I was talking about how you are playing Dark Souls wrong. It doesn’t matter how you play it–you’re wrong. You’re a caster? WRONG. You’re Haveling it up? WRONG. You’re so dex, you’re rolling all over the place? WRONG. Drake sword? Wrong. Zwei? Wrong. Over-leveling? Wrong. The only right way to play… Continue Reading
I like Elden Ring. A lot. There. I said it. I know it’s a outre thing to say and the voice of the minor–ok, I can’t keep this up with a straight face. Elden Ring was a huge hit and the talk of the town for at least a month after its release. FromSoft is… Continue Reading
