But things aren’t how they were when I first started. After years of putting pressure on myself to take things a couple steps further with my finds (subtle links between games monthly themes) I feel I had begun to phone in what had gone from a hobby to a data entry job that I didn’t get paid for.Īnd I’m going to miss it. When I came back, I knew that it was time to wind things down: almost everything I shared this year came from the draft folder with almost nothing special between them. At the time, I had become burned out from digging up daily content and getting it ready for the week. To get away from the drama and the comparisons that I have adopted as being a cultural norm. Seeing some posts get a modest amount of popularity for striking a nostalgic chord did make me feel that I was doing something right and for awhile I was thinking I would never stop doing this.Īt the start of 2020 you may remember that I took a month off to recoup: to distance myself from online life for awhile. Almost 29,000 denizens displayed an interest in what I had to offer, and I’m certain at least 2/3 of them weren’t bots.

Surprisingly, it turns out that there is always an interest for video games and related media, even in the saturated ‘market’ of this niche of media commentators. Another opinion to be drowned out by the masses another “content curator” to fall down the cracks.

When I started this Tumblr back in 2013, I didn’t think there would be ‘room’ on the Internet for another video game blog.
