I don’t want to talk about this stupid fucking shit any more

It sucks. Every day sucks. All the news sucks.

I’m supposed to have a duty to report on the big gaming news. It’s important, jobs, lives and careers. Cool projects. Worthwhile endeavors. Sad news, financial crises, turbulent times.

But fam, I’m so worn out.

I swore off a bunch of my internet intake over the last two weeks, cutting back on being over encumbered by information because it was mentally taking a toll on me and my relationships.

This website is a blog. I and we do it all for free here, because we’ve built up a nice little community of friends that slowly but genuinely grows. I personally do something like 95% of the writing and podcasting and videos here, my travel to events and hosting and setting up email accounts all comes out of my pocket (thank you to the patreon fam for helping take about 3% of the hosting issue away, every little bit helps me stay married) and I dedicate about 3 hours per evening to the site, moreso in the weekends.

I rarely get to play games to enjoy them, I’m doing it for reviews and CONTENT. I’m hopeful for a lull in the news so that I can catch up on the joy again.

But NOPE! Nada. Every week there’s some stupid ass garbage that we have to talk about, because corporations can’t stay normal and people are being thrown under the bus for god awful management decisions and shareholder smile chasing. And woof is it tiring to talk about on our shows and in the Discord and wherever we chat.

It’s permeated everything we do. We can’t enjoy stuff because stuff isn’t worth enjoying knowing that the people who create the stuff are under a guillotine that can fall down when an investor sneezes. We “have to talk about the bad with the good.”

It’s happening, I know, we know, but it’s all so dumb to keep talking about and my brain is fried trying to do it. I have an hour at lunch to “do what I want,” which I was using in our gym to stay physically healthy until I had to write *all of that stuff* over the last several months.

Go look elsewhere for the news, you’ll find it. I’m too tired. I’m too tired it keeps happening.

End rant.
