That’s rad! Some of the shiny newness has worn off my sobriety, but I still never get bored with waking up after a night of not drinking. Like, it sounds like bullshit, but every morning for the last (let’s count!) 260 mornings, I’ve opened my eyes, realized I didn’t go to bed drunk, and am just like, “hell yes.” Read more

Gosh...I remember when I first came out as trans my mom told me anyone who didn’t reject me for it wasn’t really my friend, among other things that feel too mean to write on the internet. Our relationship is better now but I was just thinking this week about how, for a time at least, I’d really done it, I’d really Read more

Not as far as I know! Now I want to play more Overland though, so thanks for that... Read more

I just found a bunch in a chest in-game, which is neat! Read more

The riffing and the voting felt off to me. For lack of a better phrase, it felt less like Fortnite and more like “hey look at these celebrities in a video game”? Not that Fortnite is a stranger to celebrities. I’m obviously Star Wars agnostic, so maybe the fact that the draw was more Star Wars than Fortnite, with the Read more

I’ve never had such a problem with an event before! It definitely lacked some of its luster on Switch... Read more

This went live Tuesday while I was wildly ill, and I am very mad at my body for making me miss it. Read more

My decryption took FOREVER on a wired connection, good lord... Read more

I hear ya, buddy. It’s a decision being made above the site level, but writers are aware of how much it sucks. Read more

In survival mode you can tweak the wolves. They aren’t scary as far as video game enemies go, but they stress me out something fierce. When I keep my cool they aren’t so bad, and here they’re actually pretty easy to handle. (This did not keep me from panicking and throwing things blindly at them, but cooler heads can Read more

It’s on my list for this weekend! It sounds sooo fun! Read more

People still build a lot! I will admit to being not the fastest at building, but I want to get better--it definitely makes a big difference! Read more

The events are really fun! The game is fun too, especially in limited-time modes or in Team Rumble, which is a great way to get your footing. The changes to matchmaking will hopefully make things feel less intimidating as well. You picked a good time to get started! Read more

At least for me, it comes up a lot when people ask me what I do for work. I’ve definitely been in situations where I ask someone how they spend their time and they do something I know nothing about, and I want to know more!  Read more

I have definitely caught myself 10 minutes into rambling at someone about The Witcher 3 and been like “oh my god who am I?..” Read more

Yeah I’m really curious about it. I’m not really in the ‘video games are addictive and, if they are, it’s the fault of developers’ camp, but a precedent such a thing could set could be really interesting! Read more

Wow, you’re seeing into my soul here. Fixed; thanks. Read more
