Nurodivergent gamer 🎮 & writer for GingerNorth Gaming, a blog on the positive impact of video games. Playing since the mid-'80s. Living for ESO, IndieGames, & better mental health.
Joined the #MetaBlackout & removed their apps. The future is uncertain & it's easy to feel powerless. I like the idea of limited social media but worry about ppl like me who are already isolated. Time to get away with #ESO & wander High Isle, maybe battle a bit in Cyrodiil.
