November, huh? Whoops. In all fairness, the about page does explicitly say that this iteration of the site is about “trying to figure out how to find any semblance of equilibrium in life while still allowing themselves to engage in the things they love,” so technically this is all going according to plan. In reality, however, a lot of life was lived in these past six (really?!) months, and while I often thought about putting something together for the site, I don’t think I was really in the right headspace for it.

Life is tricky. My partner and I witnessed several plans and backup plans completely fall apart before our eyes for most of 2023, which made things difficult, to say the least. But we made it through to the other side, and I feel like I can breathe for the first time in well over a year.

I want to keep this brief and just kind of put it out there that I haven’t abandoned The Bonus World, I’m more just trying to figure out how it fits into my life these days. Aside from this tiny sign of life, I do plan on writing up some sort of Game of the Year thing this year, but I don’t know what else gets posted here to fill the void till that post eventually goes up.

Regardless, thanks for popping in and reading this. I know it’s nothing particularly fun or interesting, but if nothing else, it is a sign of life, which is more than I can say for a lot of video game blogs… but not much more.
