Thoughts Of A Troubled Mind

Talking about the latest rounds of stories on my Medium page, as well as an unforeseen consequence of treading too closely near drama ground. The stories I talked about: The Quartering's conflict with journalist Kallie Plagge. A look at the history of gaming journalism. The very first culture piece I did on targeted harassment--courtesy of the Verge PC Build.

Side-commentary on my recently published piece on Medium. 

My thoughts on the firing of Stefan Etienne from the Verge, and a very toxic trend where news outlets are quickly yielding to racist trolls' demands.

What I could otherwise write on, but chose not to because it's just stupid.

I go over some of the challenges I faced in fitting Natalie Wynn's very over-the-top sense of humor and imitating her particular sensibilities for a audience who's not the least bit versed on what that could potentially mean. Also, I bitch about Google's terrible auto-translate on semitic languages.

What it says on the tin. My review of the game.

I talk about my experiences with the newly released of the game Borderlands, as well as my new favorite podcast by political commentator and Vox co-founder, Ezra Klein. My piece on Borderlands. On racism with Eddie Glaude Jr. Rationality, with Julia Galef. The inseparable link between poverty and injustice, with Bryan Stevenson.

I go in detail into what prevented me from being more consistent with my editorial output, and also, I edited my first piece!

Going over my thoughts on the latest developments around the Green New Deal, and the unfelt ubiquity of nature.

Vox's editorial on DOJ's claim about ACA's unconstitutionality. My piece on Ilhan Omar's accusations of anti-Semitism. My take on the Christchurch shooting.

I speak on the challenges presented by top executives' persistence in positions of power, and a crucial update on the situation in Algeria where the army has turned on the current president. My piece on Phil Harrison, fraudulent advertisement, and the lack of diversity in the gaming industry.

The echoey soundscapes you get to hear are an apt metaphor for the amount of people who listen to my ramblings. Excuse the inconvenience, I was in a rush, and had to record something after my last attempt completely bungled.

Craving some girl power inspiration for the remainder hours of your day? My takedown of angry dudebros of Captain Marvel might be exactly what you need.

My thoughts on the recent influx of big news from GDC.

Everything from my newest article on Medium, as well as an update on Bouteflika who chose not to run for a 5th term, but is still seeking power after his mandate is over.

Why it isn't any easier to process than last instances.

Even besides that, the game is still really REALLY good.

There's reason to believe the military might retaliate, bringing along with it pain for millions of distraught citizens after oil prices have hampered the country's ability to sustain its social programs as well as it used to. No telling what will happen, but it doesn't look so good. The Guardian's incredible piece on the issue.

I sat in front of our house while severely sleep-deprived. I expound upon the implications of such an achievement in a poetically suitable way. You can read it here.

There's been a growing interest on part of the YouTube community to watch more content focused on the technical aspects of filmmaking and photography. I wanted to shed my two cents on it, and how I've recently been officially hooked. My piece on Iz Harris.
