Games journalist hack: "I'm not here to be eye candy"

No shit? Hey, did you know games journalism existed long before you? According to legend, it was filled with insightful commentary, interviews, previews, reviews, analysis, discussion, friendly debate, and good vibes.
Believe it or not, I didn't know or care about the politics of journalists. I wanted to learn about video games I might be interested in buying.

Perhaps I might learn in-depth tricks, tips, or discover hidden gems I may have overlooked. And from homely nerds, of all people!

20 years ago, I was 16 in a High School located 15 miles away from ground zero, sitting in 2nd period History class. Our teacher flipped the channels of an old cathode ray TV to show us a some video on a VHS cassette, down to channel 3.

"Wait! What was that?!" I said.
1/
I'd seen something on channel 4: Smoke coming from one of the Twin Towers. The teacher went back. "What is this, a movie?" Our mouths hung open. Then the second plane hit. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Maybe it was a replay.

"No, this is live!"
The classroom phone started ringing. All students were told to stay in their rooms on the PA. A few teachers ran through the halls.

The towers fell. We heard shouts up and down the hallway. Some kids started crying. We didn't believe what was happening. It was so close to home.

Keep being asked if I would consider minting NFT's, and my answer remains the same: If you enjoy my comics and want to help me do this full-time (which I'd be proud to), support links are pinned beneath my bio 👇👇👇

I do business this way because I want everyone in America to see that an independent comics creator can earn a living by following this model.

Not only is this important to me, its important for every upcoming creator who asks, "could I do that too?"
I want my answer to be, "Absolutely. Look how I did it."

Everyone now agrees Biden is a human disaster.

Now rewind to this time last year and realize many of us already knew. Creepy uncle, crazy Hunter BS, dementia, all that.

The media knew too. And they hid it from you. Even worse, they convinced you Trump voters were bad people.
All Trump voters wanted was to be able to focus on their jobs and families, for America to stop getting pushed around / taken advantage of, and for us to be left the hell alone and out of everyone's business. Hence, America First.

We were doing good, until 2020.
When history looks back on these days, remember: Trump was an asshole. Yes. But you NEED an asshole to flush the bullshit down the toilet.

Biden was their best the establishment could offer. The most obvious puppet any of us have ever seen. Who controls him? Who the fuck knows?

Now that I've safely returned from a convention in Texas with over 30,000 attendees, I would like to make an announcement:

• I am not vaccinated, nor do I have any intention to be.
• I refuse to wear a mask indoors, and have not done so for 6 months.
• I am perfectly fine.
I reside in a formerly high-risk area and don't believe in telling others what to do. Get vaccinated if you wish. Wear a mask, or don't. You do you.

I believe the mental damage of being afraid of talking to others, shaking hands, and hugging is FAR deadlier than a buffed flu.
This doesn't mean I take risks and walk up to people who are coughing and sneezing. I like the concept of social distancing in general, because humans are filthy animals.

Still, as of today, unless it's a personal courtesy to others, I will not comply with any mask mandates.
