Console Gaming History Adventure: 1983

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I did it. I really, actually did it! I have now consumed such an unreasonable, incredible number of very old games that I feel like I might just explode at any moment, but after a year and a half of forcing them down and being a champ, I have actually managed to complete the most infamous year in the entire history of console gaming, 1983! And that means it’s finally, finally time for another article in my Console Gaming History Adventure series to follow up the previous article on 1982! The moment is absolutely surreal!

Console Gaming History Adventure: 1981

It’s taken me a lot longer than it did for 1980, but I’ve finally completed 1981. While there were only 58 new cartridges to get through, it took me so long because I had 120 arcade games to play too before I could consider this year finished! I’ve always intended console games to be the focus of this project, so I’m looking forward to the year they finally overtake arcade games in popularity, but that year is not 1981. 😕

Console Gaming History Adventure: 1978

Hi again! It’s time for one more article in my “Console Gaming History Adventure” series before I’m officially caught up on writing about my experiences, and can get back to actually playing games! This time, we’re following up on 1977 by covering 1978. This year brings us 75 new games to play with across 51 new cartridges for 5 different gaming consoles! Things are heating up now!

Console Gaming History Adventure: 1977

This is a continuation of my Console Gaming History Adventure series that started with 1976, where I try out nearly every English-friendly console game released for each year of gaming history and share my experiences. Today, that’s 1977, the same year the “Star Wars” movie came out! While there still isn’t a lot of activity in the console gaming arena compared to later years, the situation is a lot better than it was for 1976, with 25 new games across 20 new cartridges to take a look at!

Console Gaming History Adventure: 1976

So I’ve still been figuring out what kinds of things I want to write on here. 🤔 My good friend Voggy suggested I write about what I’m discovering with my little gaming adventure project, and so I think I’ll do just that! This is, after all, something most people don’t have time for and you might like to hear of my experiences!

Some Middle-Ground Thoughts on Transgenderism

So since I’m a demon and everyone’s going hate me anyway, I thought I’d write an opinion piece on the trans movement! 😃 No, this has nothing to do with March 31st a few weeks back being Trans Visibility Day (which I admit is a lot shorter and more practical than a more appropriate name, like “Let’s-All-Point-at-the-Transpeople-for-Being-Different-and-Make-Them-Fear-Even-More-for-Their-Lives Day”). It also has nothing to do with the unbelievable stink around it happening to fall on Holy Easter Sunday this one year, though maybe if I hadn’t been so shy it would have been better to write this piece back then. 😬 It’s just something that’s been on my mind a lot and I want to talk about it! Specifically, I want to offer a middle-ground perspective on it, because with all the vitriolic polarization going on in Western politics these days, I think trying to find some kind of empathetic compromise is really badly needed!

There I go being shy again…

I was scared when I started this blog that after a few posts I would lose my nerve and stop. Well it looks like that’s exactly what’s happened. 😖 The Internet is such an incredibly mean and toxic place. Putting yourself out there and sharing what you want to share doesn’t just risk exposure to insults and bullying, it guarantees it – at least if you do it long enough. And I’m very conscious of just how bad I am at handling that when it happens to me. And so I quickly get too scared and bow out.
