Update to This Mess

Oh boy. Haven't posted anything here for over 6 years now. On a whim, I decided to go back through this, and do some pruning and updating.

The Pruning
I got rid of my job search story and some other work-related stuff. It reminded me of a time that wasn't a whole lot of fun. The job I ended up at turned into a soul-crushing, life-sucking shitshow, and it really wasn't worth the hassle I went through to get it. I stayed there for several years, and ended up on anti-depressants for a while because of it. Things are better now.

I got rid of the review and analysis of Love Not Found. I lost my patience for that comic, its toxic fans, and its entitled author several years ago. I have no desire to go back to it in order to fix broken links, or to continue the analysis. I also ditched the Red String review for similar reasons, and because the site for it never got fixed.

The Twitter widget is gone, as it no longer worked (I'll bet it was the API pricing changes). I also deleted my account some time ago, because that site is getting more abusive by the day. Seeing people you follow getting harassed by moronic bigots, AI grifters, and porn bots isn't any fun.

The Updating
I updated and re-posted the article Excuses for Bad Games I'm Sick of Hearing. Even now, some of those excuses are still being used to defend some truly awful games and game mechanics. I have no idea how people legitimately enjoy things like Gollum, Rise of Kong, and EA Games mobile shovelware. Delusion, perhaps?

I fixed some pages, typos, and some other minor things.

I'm not sure if I'll do any updating to this blog past this point or not. I guess if something interests me, maybe. But, for now, it'll probably be in hibernation.
