If I go to your space, and tell you something, odds are pretty… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #520 – Pro Tip: If I talk to you, I’m trying to help you out.
I will not lie to you. I come from a family that views grudge holding as a sport, and an art.

So, I mentioned earlier, that I would talk about that Polygon article, Gaming’s Toxic Men Explained.
