Happy 2019!

I got a job and stopped posting last year, but I actually had a bunch of posts partially written from before then. I finally went through and edited those so I’ll be able to put up posts semi-regularly again. They’re from 2018 and are mostly more game reviews from when trying new stuff was my focus. In the end I started to feel like those were getting monotonous–I’m not a compelling enough writer to keep that sort of piece interesting, and I never had a clear enough focus for the content to carry one, but they’re worth tossing up here.

Going forward, I’m going to think about how I want to format my game posts. I’d still like to capture my thoughts as I try new games, but I’m not sure the best way for me to do that yet.  I expect it’ll either be a more structured analysis or a much shorter version of what I’ve been doing with less extraneous context. I still want to train-of-thought about games, but I’m going to force myself to pick a point or two and make it more succinctly. My hope is that each post can be less of a ‘project’ that I need to put time into, and more of a way for me to capture my thoughts on a game so that I can come back later for inspiration if I so fancy.

Some of the posts aren’t inspired by a specific game and I plan to continue to write those when the inspiration strikes me. I have a few that are partially written already and need a little love which I’ll get around to editing as well. My plan is to do roughly a post a month this year, which I’m saying here OUT LOUD so that I actually do it. Hopefully my backlog makes that a promise I can fulfill.
