I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

This is a good time as any to tell you that the diversity of Stop Caring was a complete accident. I didn't go out into the world looking specifically for women and queer people that wanted to write about video games. I looked at quality of the pitches and work, first and foremost.

After hearing all the buzz about Wolverine, I kind of wonder if there's any cross comparison worth exploring between character action mashfest & Dynasty Warriors games (hit the buttons but there's like, numbers and skills and stuff)

Despite the 80 degree afternoons, the weather down here in the mornings and nights have been pretty cold. We've finally reached Georgia's Fall weather. Perfect time for jackets but only inside because the A/C stays super cold all day long.

Somehow, @mads.haus convinced me to publish a Sonic essay on Stop Caring. Please read/share this beautiful essay on Sonic the Hedgehog, its ecological themes, and how Sega's current and future actions might potentially jeopardize its own environmentalist messages. www.stopcar.ing/never-give-u...

As someone who's been looking for work outside of games writing for a long time, nobody is hiring. There's nowhere to move, and it sucks!

Y'know.. I've not played Fortune's Weave yet but I did do a *very* comprehensive write up on Path of Radiance about a year ago. If you wanna read about another great one. I'll finish my Radiant Dawn write ups before the year is out. That had to go on hold. But for now... Ike! Ike! I like Ike!

Recently, I’ve been playing games in what are basically little “syllabuses” where I’m playing either a specific genre or series in bulk. This allows not only for myself to get a really up close look.....

I see everyone has fun, nuanced stories about not being able to play M rated games as a kid, but I kinda just did whatever. When my mom bought me Skyrim, she asked if I knew it was rated M at the register. I said yeah, and she gave the GameStop clerk $20 and we went home 🧍

My two most recent posts, one of which is me saying “Thinking about him” and it’s a picture of Ichiban Kasuga from Like a Dragon. The other is me talking about how it’s weird that people haven’t learned to divorce themselves from the media they like when it comes to reviews.

I think the weirdest part about wanting to work in games writing is that I just don't care about other people's opinions unless I know them. Review scores are one person's opinion and don't really mean much. Everyone's experiences with games are different. People get way too mad about that stuff.
