Ok, so the way I decided was that someone tugged on my heart strings by mentioning their game designing daughter, and who had a similarly weird childhood. So, newyorkgwythaint who responded on the public blog wins the bracelet. Here is an admittedly shitty picture of it. Sadly they did not have an exclamation point bead,… Read More Bracelet Giveaway
April 1st and the morning of the 2nd, we said our good-byes. I think I cried harder over the end of G+ than the last family member I lost. When I said that to the Geek Husband What Rules, he said, “Well, yeah. Your G+ friends ARE your family.” I know a lot of folks… Read More On the Death of G+
The most annoying part of the migraines is that apparently movies in theaters is everything my brain hates right now, so I’m not going to them unless I feel very strongly about them. I finally saw Venom, and I loved it! Yes, it has plot holes and brings up something that completely frosts my cookies… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #551 – Review: Venom
Ok, I don’t feel like explaining at length why the guy who wrote the BoundingIntoComics article about what Fonda Lee said is a shithead. Go read his article, you can google it, I’m not linking that asshole. Then go read Jim Hines’s takedown of it. Short version, she said about Barnes & Noble that part… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #550 – Again with a Terrible Dude, and My Petty Annoyance #453487534687
Ok, some of you may have seen on Sunday my tweet talking about how if your knee-jerk response when a woman tells you to quit talking out of your ass is to call her a facist, you’re a dipshit. Seriously. I’m not going to sugarcoat this any more. Look, I get it. Getting called on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #549 – Dudes, stop
Hi! So, this is a day late because Tuesday night I ran a demo of Guns & Glamour, the PBTA hack I’ve been working on forever, for @ActualPlay on their twitch stream. I had never done that before. I mean, I’ve run and played games online before, over Skype or Google Hangouts. But doing it… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #548 – Guns & Glamour
Heist tights. The one year mark. Ok, so I picked up a pair of their heaviest dernier tights this winter, and they were not as good. Honestly, they may be expanding a little too fast, because the last pair of the 50s that I bought were not as good as the initial pairs. I’ve seen… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #547 – Update on the Heist Tights
Ok, so there’s the jewelry company, Ryan Porter, and they do custom jewelry, and I do love the “Harridan” necklace I ordered from them, so I ordered a Geek Girls Rule bracelet from them, just to give it away. Basically, I’m gonna open this up here and on the public blog. And I want to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #546 – Giveaway and Weird Childhood Shit
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT! I am likely to head into spoiler territory in the parts of this review after the cut. And, oh, what was that? It’s already grossed more than $160 million in the US alone on it’s opening weekend? Do you hear that? That would be the sound of Comicsgate’s tears of infinite sadness.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #545 – Review: Captain Marvel
Or conversely, everyone has to do some gatekeeping, but when it’s because someone has demonstrated through their actions that they are a douchebag, it’s no longer gatekeeping. Instead it’s boundaries. Yeah, I’ve seen these jackasses with their “I took a philosophy course my freshman year of college,” arguments, and it’s bullshit. Look, wanting to deny… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #542 – What Gatekeeping Is and Isn’t?
