blog
this blog exists less as a way of talking about my life and more as a way of posting high effort essays about a handful of topics. so far its mostly been about media, with a focus on video games, as well as discussing console hardware, but who knows what i'll talk about in the future.
if you're interested in lower effort nonfiction writing, some of it is available on the notes page.
