I Honestly Can’t Stand What The Gaming Scene / Gaming Culture Has Become

I’ve been a “gamer” my entire life. For clarity, I define “gamer” as simply someone who enjoys video games. While one can refine and sub-divide that (what types of games someone likes, how often they play, to what extent they “care” about the subject) that’s not important here. What is is simply the idea of …

Blocked For A Reason – 2020 Edition

Back in early 2016 I wrote an article titled “Blocked for a Reason.” The article covered the subject of blocking people on social media – in simple form, the reason behind such (at least for me) and what it actually means when that event happens. I thought it would be good, since it’s been nearly …
