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?

Had a blast. What a game. Glad I had a fire lit under my butt to see it in its weird glory through to the end.

It’s really strange reviewing what is effectively a truly free game. Half of the article is more focused on how and why Chex Quest existed, how it has a fandom, and how it’s a nostalgic look back at Doom and how marketing used to be.

Less than a month until 41.
I said I was going to try and start my 40s with finally having a little more self confidence and a little less self hate. While I can’t say it’s been a complete success, there’s been some baby steps in the right direction.
Here’s to making the next few weeks count.

Currently listening to an Audiobook on the history of Britain, because I am a huge nerd.
Proof of extra nerdiness: “Huh, this intro chapter talking about how Roman Rule couldn’t keep them safe from invaders while also taxing them to pieces reminds me of how the Imperium in Warhammer 40K sucks.”

I wrote an essay about how 40k is bursting with British class pessimism, like "the avg human is a trivial lepton in the background of a story about more powerful men & thats all you'll ever be"
Then someone pointed out 40k was created by Northern Brits during the Thatcher era & it was like ah. Yep.

Hi!
I got this caught up now & no running balance. Nothing short of a miracle. There’s nothing due for a few days now (approx. 4-5 days, due to the payment structure they put me on).
Staying ahead of it accumulating is best. But anyway, we can still stay inside. Thank you for helping.

Goal failed 2x in a row
But sobbing at the front desk in frustration & sleep deprivation seems to help
I was told I still owe either $1100 or $1395 on top of what was already paid just now ($739)
Can something get cleared before the day ends so I can not do this??

Definitely something I’m still getting through my thick skull. I had a great weekend helping manage a bachelor party, lots of good (wholesome!) fun. Felt rough all Sunday and have to remind myself it’s just the normal ups and downs of high highs and low lows.
I wanna say for my neurodivergies, my briggity brainilies, my hoes with loose lobes:
If you feel SUPER DEPRESSED after a social event, that's a come-down from the high of presenting. You didn't do anything wrong, you didn't say stupid shit, you aren't trash
Well. Your brain is trash. Not you tho!!
