Those who know me know how I've been obsessed with this game I played last year. I've finally written an article about one singular moment I had while playing it and how it affected me, please do give it a read!

This is an article I've wanted to write for a very long while.

Read this article where I express bafflement and fascination with the concept of V-Tubers and compare them to BTS.

(this article is not meant to be encouragement to watch V-Tuber content, and if you do get into them, I deny all responsibility for you being stuck in an endless rabbit-hole of content)

November's brought its own mix of long games and not much else, but there's some good new stuff I found!

Spoiler: it's all just extremely long games this time.

I discovered a good variety of games this month - but I didn't really get to experience much else.

It's been two months since the last article, and I've had lots of work on my plate. But I do have some free time, finally, so I wrote a bunch of words about the stuff I watched/played in the interim.

There's some stuff here that especially affected me deeply and personally, so do give it a read. Let me know if there's stuff here you've seen/played/enjoyed!

I knew what I was getting into, but there's a lot I found out about the kind of style and criticism I used to emulate - the kinds that, thankfully, I don't hold in high regard anymore.

It's not all bad though - so do join me in looking back!

Where I read and despair at most of my old articles

It's hard to avoid the crushing sense of mortal terror everywhere we're going right now, because, well, we can't go anywhere except for the internet right now.

So here's an article I wrote about how YouTubers are seemingly being affected by this anxiety as well, and how that made me feel.

A (slightly crazy) case for making a blasphemous literary claim.

I was only half-joking, actually, because a connection had occurred to me; but what surprised me is how seriously people reacted. A friend who studies English said she’d slap me; a meme-maker said...

After a long absence, we're back! And we're diving straight into nerdery again, giving a handy recap of the important things that are happening in the DC comics event going on right now.
