Stuff That's Been Bugging Me Lately

Just gonna vent a little, so please bear with me.

My mother hasn't been feeling well lately, so my brothers and I have been doing our best to make sure she's able to feel better as soon as possible. During one particular visit to her doctor, there was someone just staring at me as I was getting out and while I was helping my mother out of the car. Sure my lack of coordination in getting out of a small car can be a little amusing I admit, but what was annoying to me was that it was another one of those times where the person had this look of 'what are you doing here?' on their face. I've gotten that look from a lot of different people over the years, and it's always an unwelcome sight.

I'm still refusing to choose a side as far as that major vortex of chaos known as GamerGate goes, for many reasons, though Snee's latest blog just about sums up my feelings on the matter quite nicely. The only thought on the matter I'd like to share is that it's really bugging me how some people are calling it a 'terrorist movement' with a straight face. Sure, there are some terrible things being said, but using hyperbole to that extent just trivializes actual terrorist actions happening in the world right at this very moment.

I feel like an awful game journalist for not even knowing what the heck this gamergate stuff is. I'm just too busy playing Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright and having fun with games!

Playing games is fun, and I think it is the way to go.

I hope your mother feels better. I try to hope for the best with people, but a lot of them are pretty jerky sometimes. I've got my jerky moments too, but at least I'm trying. Some people just don't care.

Sometimes people can be bastards!

Hope your mom gets better.

I made my case about Gamergate in Snees blog. Snooty journos!

I feel the same way about those particular game journalists, too busy looking to puff themselves up and denegrate people than to actually do a little introspection. It's something that probably would've prevented such a major backlash.

Best wishes for your mum Esteban. This world would be a lovely place if it wasn't infested with people. :)

next time tell them to take a picture for it lasts longer. I myself usually take their picture with my new phone before they move on their way. big brother at it's best.

I still crack up over the "terrorist movement" call on this whole #gamergate thing. I guess it was only a matter of time that the gamging scene needed a culling of the herds.
