The Emotion of Liget
A while ago, I listened to an Invisibilia podcast about a remote tribe that experiences an emotion that has no translation. It's called liget, and it can best be described as a feeling of 'high voltage'. To this tribe, this emotion was an integral part of the human experience. As English speakers, we know what… Continue reading The Emotion of Liget

The Hearthstone Short that Made me a Fan Again
I played Hearthstone for a few months a year or two ago. I found it very entertaining and fun, but after a while I just stopped playing. Mainly because I am not a huge fan of competitive games. But also because I didn't see it as anything more than a card game. Just recently, I… Continue reading The Hearthstone Short that Made me a Fan Again

Kersti’s Tips to Boothing

The Difference Between Action and Adventure
I recently encountered a situation where I would have expected that an 'Action' game and an 'Adventure' game would be distinct categories, with their differences recognized and well known. Sadly these terms have become so often misused, or worse used interchangeably, that the two terms seem to mean the same thing. The distinction of these… Continue reading The Difference Between Action and Adventure
How I Believe
An exercise in verbalizing a facet of my personal philosophy. Originally written April 14th, 2015. An ongoing quest in my life is to find out what I believe in. It’s not a quest with any end-goal, I’ll never ‘figure it out’, but the attempt makes me feel closer to myself and helps me learn why… Continue reading How I Believe
