Video Game News, Reviews, and Commentary
Blaugust has already changed my morning. The first few steps remain the same. Get Coffee. Feed the dog. Shower. However, when I sit at my computer, I no longer open a video game first. Instead, go to Mastodon and check out the new posts from others participating in the event.
