					<description><![CDATA[This is bleak, to a degree, and will discuss: the COVID-19 pandemic, mental &#038; physical illness &#038; disability, politics, nihilism, financial details and sales, and community-related trauma (perpetrators of harm, business ethics). However, I want to be transparent about my motivations for leaving the capitalistic, financially relevant industry of games and my step back from the community around it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think about the concept of peril in adventures quite a lot, especially as someone who generally isn't big on character death, extreme physical or mental trauma, &#038; failing. What on earth is an adventure without those types of peril? Does a game even require an adventure, 0r peril, to be fun? (I won't be discussing the nature of fun, that's your own thing.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I know this has been slow to arrive, but life is life and death is death, and there's been a lot of both of those for me to cope with, among other things. This is the third installment of my A New Masculinity series, focusing on gender and identity in video games, specifically through the lens of Wolfenstein: The New Order. In this series, I focus on The New Order, and in this post, I'll talk specifically about the women in that game. ]]></description>

Whether this connection leads to a revelation or condemnation does truly depend on the cards. Crowdfund ends March 15, 2021!]]></description>
