  • in the early days of the internet, I’m talking GeoCities days, I started what would be called a podcast about gaming. I recorded with windows sound recorder and a shitty Logitech desktop mic and then ran it through RealAudio to compress it to a downloadable format.

    I shared it with communities online like IRC and BBS’s.

    I got shit on so fucking much that I quit after my 6th cast. I received so much hate that I honestly thought of self harm.

    now, it wasn’t right that it happened. but, it happened decades ago before podcasting, live streaming, YouTube, content creators, and influencers were a “thing”. my point is, it is a danger of creating anything for the world. if you don’t have the skin for it, the world will eat you alive, so get over it.















  • Vegeta embodies the rage that all of us feel and has one of the best character arcs of all time IMO.

    he had his entire life stolen from him by the monster that took him in, not out of pittance, but out of a sick sense of entertainment.

    he then spent the next 20-ish years trying to become stronger to complete his desire for vengeance, and even then he wasn’t enough.

    he literally had everything stolen from him. beaten from him. was mocked relentlessly because of who and what he is. they took everything but one thing. That one thing that could never be taken from him. His pride.

    I learned so much about myself as a person as I watched his character develop. I keep a figure of him on my desk to remind myself of how far I have come and to protect my pride.

    he is, by far, one of the most influential characters in my entire life.
