Meowdy. I am Nadia Oxford, a 44-year-old writer/podcaster who's been slumming around games writing since 2004. I'm 100% independent and trying my best.
I preserve some of my old game-related writing on my Patreon, like this 2012 cover story for 1UP about Solaris!

Some years ago an Antarctic diver encountered a leopard seal who, instead of attacking her, brought her half-dead penguins for her to “hunt.” Every time the diver let the penguin get away, the seal seemed confused, even exasperated. ⬇️

Much of my previous work history is in the service industry, and I actually enjoyed it sometimes. Sure, customers can be dicks, but they’re usually easy to diffuse.
The problem was management. They think up the stupidest shit and insist it’s what the customers want. I just couldn’t deal.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Ha ha! We used to be optimistic about the 2000’s!
New Radicals release “You Get What You Give” 27 years ago today — an “exuberant anthem about commodification, urging that kids who have ‘the dreamers’ disease’ have the power to change things,” The Guardian wrote.
Said Gregg Alexander: “It was everything I’d always wanted to say inside five mins.”

Sexiest catboy alive for sure, yes.
'Wickedly' good actor, singer, and #FinalFantasy XIV catboy Jonathan Bailey has been awarded People's coveted 'Sexiest Man Alive' title for 2025! 🙀💚 Despite the recognition, Bailey's been acting since the 90s and only found fame with several recent major profile works.

I will no longer accept any version of “In the Air” that does not start with Dr. Light telling Emily “I have to go. I’ll see you soon” while the wail of police sirens gradually overtakes the whisper of the rain. 🪦🥀
I get that way with the In the Air Tonight cover - kinda supplanted the original to me at this point

Nobody seems to know anyone who had this lunchbox, but the consensus is that they were probably way too cool to hang out with regular humans and/or their dad was using this box to sneak weed brownies into work.

Ah well I wasn’t in the mood to run down Bathurst Street screaming like a Banshee anyway.
It’s not that I’m a fan, it’s just that I’m a Maenad and will show up where the chaos is.
