How have you been?
“Never read the comments,” is a truth much-rehearsed by senior games journalists, but I have long since levelled-up past this axiom and entered into a new world of benevolent narcissism. Ialwaysread the comments, for all commenters are my children. They exist to glorify and preserve me in my dotage. True, occasionally my children say things like “I think your writing and opinions are appalling, and that you deserve to be repeatedly run over by a herd of deer”, but it is the nature of children to rebel.
All of which is to say thatthe comments downtime during a tech transitionthis week has been painful for me. I’ve missed you all! I don’t have anything particular to say in this post - I just thought we could do with a place to convene after this long, strange purgatory of articles being published with no accompanying trickle or waterfall of reader insights. What have you all been up to? Any news to share? I hear there’s been some kind of election somewhere. I promise you the comments outage is unrelated.
