PAX Aus is over again for another year. It simultaneously feels like it was an eternity and over in the blink of an eye, leaving you feeling a little empty inside. But it’s no fun to dwell on the fact that Australia’s biggest gaming convention is over for another year.

It’s been a hot minute since Season 1 of The Acolyte wrapped up its controversial run. Throughout all eight episodes, some people picked apart every little thing the show did, claiming it was the worst thing Star Wars has put out in decades. I wasn’t a part of that group and was initially mixed on the series, but I came around to it by the credits of Episode 8.

I’m a Transformers fan. I’ve been watching the various TV shows since I was a kid and have seen every single Michael Bay film in the franchise. Because sometimes, I need a way to send my enjoyment in film as a medium crashing to the ground when it gets just a bit too high, like I enjoy life or something? Feels like that shouldn’t be allowed the way everything’s going in the world. No, focus back to Transformers, where it’s safe.

I closed out my Sweet Home 2 review by saying that I hope season 3 will be its final one. Well… how wonderful it would be if all my wishes would come true like this. That’s right. A so far fantastic series is coming to an end. Yes, I am a bit sad, but if I trust anyone to give us a wonderful wrap-up on this survivor story, I trust the Sweet Home crew. So, before the final season drops, I wanted to share some of my predictions with you all based on what we learned so far.

Episode 4 of The Acolyte has dropped, and it’s my favourite episode yet. Titled “Day,” this episode has me the most excited about this series since it started. This episode, while it still hasn’t made me that invested in the characters, gave me enough hints and fun moments that the time flew by. Granted, the episode was only 30ish minutes, which I hope isn’t a trend going forward. Regardless, I was intrigued, and I’ve already got some theories on what could happen next.

Throughout my life, I’ve joked that I’m a chronic people-pleaser. However, it was only through recent self-reflection that I realized that it wasn’t a joke anymore. Prioritizing others’ needs and desires over my own has been deeply ingrained since childhood that my entire sense of self-worth is tied to whether I’m valuable to others.

What is it about a game that makes us go back to it over and over? I can imagine everyone’s answer would be something different. Because we are all very different people, we like different games, and we have different play styles. I prefer chill games that may or may not be story-based, but occasionally, on stressful days, I play something a bit mindless that helps me let off steam (blast things in the face).

hello world!In “The Dragon Con Experience, Part 1,” I gave a brief look at how the massive annual convention known as Dragon Con grew out of a tiny seed planted by Atlanta-area sci-fi and fantasy fans back in 1987. In Part 2, I want to offer a small slice of what to expect if you attend the con and how to stay looped in with the con culture all year round!The typical convention FAQ is covered on the website and other Dragon Con news sources.
