Brand Robins you’re not wrong that I can’t do these questions. Though I adore the people who came up with them and would not call them assholes. 🙂
Yeah I dunno…I’m creatively stretched thin this month so I’m jealously guarding my time. But it’s more than that. The effort to translate most of the questions into stuff I genuinely want to talk about is just a little too much. Like I’ll begin composing an answer in my head and it will begin with a bunch of qualifiers or justifications and that kinda kills my motivation. I rather do something else. Like I get the jokes. And I laugh at myself more than is comfortable for other people, but that’s not the same thing that inspires me to write a meaningful answer. And writing joke answers requires me to be in a really particular mood.
No joke though: the other day I wrote up an entire month of questions in reaction to these questions. (Which…has got to be the most indie gamer thing I’ve done in a while). 😛 They are more directly about why we do this gaming thing (so I don’t get stuck answering my own damn questions). I want to talk about fictional make-outs, and little known games, and risks we took that were worth it. But I’m not trying to status-play or moral-high ground this month, which has turned up some good answers and interesting discussions. So I might give this breathing room and wait for a slow month like January to post them.
I may still answer some of this months’ questions. We’ll see.
