Hi. These are words about games I’ve played.
I used to run some gaming websites, but those are all gone now. Back around That Time When The World Ended, I found myself writing about games again. I don’t really know why, it just seemed like a good idea. I had thoughts and didn’t have a place for them, and I know better than to shout into the void of Twitter or Reddit, so I shouted into a text editor.
Many years have since transpired and I have now written a bunch of words about a bunch of games, so here’s a website. I try to write at least a little about any game I consider myself “done” with, either because I squeezed all the gaming enjoyment out of it, or because it infuriated me.
