Is it geting better? I have no idea, but this constant assessment of risk is beginning to get to me. I deliberately went into a coffee shop the other day on my lunch break. Yes absolutely it was stupid…sort of, there was me and the barista in the whole place. But I just need to … Read More
(Content Warning: I have included a link to a picture of someone falling from the towers behind the words “one person plunge”) Did you know, I’ve never written about September the 11th on here?

Had a conversation with a friend about when you worry if your game idea is pretentious or not and … Read More

I am stressed to fuck and in a great deal of pain. One thing I really hate about fatigue, I suppose I mean Fatigue, is when I have to push through it to get something done because it wrecks me for weeks afterwards. I’m leapfrogging painkillers right now and I haven’t been able to take … Read More
