Welcome back!

I started this blog way back in 2013 with the expectation that I'd spend a little time each week writing about what I was playing, thoughts on games and gaming, and just general observations. That... didn't happen, as the four posts over the course of two years (and nothing new since 2014) shows. Some of that was life - I changed jobs, moved across the country for the third time, and kind of fell out of the 'documenting things' headspace - and some of it was the ADHD tendency to lose things that aren't consistently in your face.

So, now it's the beginning of fall, 2022. We've been through almost three years of the COVID-19 pandemic and much of the way we, as people everywhere, dealt with the boredom of various lockdowns was gaming. Between the proliferation of PC and Mac/Linux gaming, consumer-grade VR, and the eighth and ninth generation of gaming consoles, choices of 'how to game' have never been greater.

I never stopped gaming. I did stop writing about it, and now I want to fix that. I've started streaming over on Twitch and I'll be using this blog as a place to keep thoughts between streaming sessions. Right now, I've been slowly streaming my way through a Switch escape room game, but I'm also planning to do some streaming from my Atari 800 to talk about old games, new technology for ancient home computers, and to share some of my gaming history from the last fifty years.
