It&#8217;s kind of hard to believe that it&#8217;s been that long since I had an active blog, but then again, it isn&#8217;t actually that hard to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over many years, I tried time and time again to <strong>run<\/strong> a blog. I could make them just fine. It was the sticking with it and continuing to add content part that I always wiped out on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn&#8217;t for lack of subjects, and that was probably one of my biggest problems. I lacked focus, and I wanted to talk about a little of everything, but there wasn&#8217;t any one thing that I was interested in enough to talk with any sort of consistency about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flash forward many years later and I&#8217;m older, and I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m more disciplined. Focus doesn&#8217;t tend to be an issue for me anymore (if you don&#8217;t count my tendency to hyper-fixate when something REALLY interests me.) Exact opposite problem from before, but I&#8217;ve gotten pretty good at balancing things out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of that to say that I&#8217;m going to take another stab at blogging, and this time, I have a sneaking suspicion that you&#8217;re not going to be able to shut me up. I&#8217;ve always loved writing, and I&#8217;m pretty passionate about game development. The marriage of the two is just&#8230; *chef&#8217;s kiss*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New hosting, new domain registrar, and a totally new blog.
