Hello & Welcome!
I’m not sure why you’re here, but I’m glad you are! This is my attempt at a blog about my thoughts, focused largely around games and the gaming industry with a smattering of other vices of mine spread generously throughout. As this is my first attempt at any kind of formal blog, please indulge me in my informal format. Also, please excuse the barren/vanilla aesthetic of the site as I learn and tinker with the tools at my disposal here. Without further ado, let me tell you why I’m here…
I’ve followed and enjoyed gaming since I was but a wee lad. Some of my earliest memories are of playing my NES and GameBoy (the GameBoy was technically Mom’s, but whatever). My brothers and I bonded (and similarly fought) over video games. Friendships were built over shared interests in genres and specific video games. Time and money have been invested in a fringe and frequently ostracised hobby that has become a mainstream phenomenon in recent years. I’ve grown up with games and they’ve grown up with me and many others like me. As it is a constant and favorite topic of conversation of mine, my friends have constantly been heard saying things like, “You should start a blog” or “OMG, who. the hell. CARES!?” Comments like these (more the former than the latter) are what have brought me here, to this blog, as a place to put down my thoughts and ramblings without inundating my friends’ social media feeds with overly long posts that they may or may not be interested in (but let’s be real, I’ll probably still do that anyway).
So, since you’re here, I hope you enjoy what you’ll find and understand that these are simply my thoughts on a hobby that I have grown to love. Thank you for stopping by and I hope I can stick to writing content that is interesting enough to keep you coming back for more!
