I have zero business trying to set goals today. It’s the last day of Blaugust, and with this post I’ll barely have eked out my goal of the Community Builder award – this is post #15. More than half of those posts happened in the past week. I’m double posting today. And I’m tired, y’all.… Continue reading Nerd Girl Goals – September 2025| Nerd Girl Thoughts
I knew I wanted to say something about this post (Stop Valorizing Introversion) made by Rabbit way back on the 21st, but I found myself really struggling with what I wanted to say. It’s not often I feel absolutely attacked by something that is completely not about me, but this post came out swinging for… Continue reading Some Thoughts on The Introvert / Extrovert Spectrum – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Coincidences are weird. I’ve been working on my 50 Before 50 list, otherwise known as my midlife-crisis spreadsheet (and yes, I know I’m late, why is anyone surprised about this?). One of the items I very recently added to it was this: Then yesterday, I read this post on Forking Mad (To Journal, or Not… Continue reading Even More Room to Write – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts

If you’re following a bunch of bloggers, you may see multiple… Continue reading #Blaugust2025 Group Project -You’d Never Guess, But…| Nerd Girl Thoughts
It might be cheating just a little to call this a response post since it’s technically a post for this week’s theme, which I suppose I could have just written about on my own. However, I had zero intention of even touching the themes this year (I feel like I have done them to death,… Continue reading Grace For Everyone But Me – A Blaugust Response Post| Nerd Girl Thoughts
It’s time again for the quick summary of the August 2025 Humble Choice Bundle. Every month, when the bundle releases, a bunch of us get together on the Blaugust Discord and hash out which games we’re most excited about and divvy up the titles for us each to look at during the month. Some folks just take a… Continue reading Humble Choice – August 2025 Edition| Nerd Girl Thoughts
Okay, this is a bit of a delayed response, but as soon as I read Paeroka’s post (Paeroka’s Ponderings: Can a Game Be Both Cozy and Challenging?), my answer was immediately yes. Even once I read further to her cozy criteria, I knew the first game to pop into my mind fit perfectly. So, what are… Continue reading Cozy and Challenging?
