Examining Gamergate Part 2: On Conspiracy

I'd like to get into the habit of announcing my blog posts more often. Letting people know I've posted something new increases my meager traffic considerably, it turns out. I don't think I'll be announcing these posts, though. Best case scenario, it will remind people that this is still an ongoing conversation, which is something many people (myself included) would like to move past. Worst case scenario, I'll get pulled into that conversation further, a prospect that fills me with exhaustion at the thought.

Researching and writing on this subject has been exhausting enough. It reminds me of something someone said, and I apologize for not remembering who it was so I can credit them. To paraphrase: the most frustrating arguments are with people who are wrong in a way that's exhausting to explain. To a large degree, that describes the Gamergate debate.

Exhausting or not, though, I'm determined to organize my thoughts on this subject. Only then, perhaps, will I be free. So, on to the subject of conspiracy in gaming journalism.

The Truth About Ice Cream

Jeff and I have a really bad habit of picking up half-gallon tubs of ice cream when they go on sale. My first advice regarding ice cream: don't buy ice cream. Just go ahead and cut that stuff right out of your diet. Trust me, you'll be much happier in the long run.

That said, I recently discovered something incredible about ice cream that I feel the need to share. At the time, the revelation kind of blew my mind. It could revolutionize the way I prepare ice cream.
