So as mentioned by myself and others, 2016 has been a tough year. But you know what? (And if you do, why are you wasting your psychic talents on a blog instead of using your superhero powers for the good of mankind?) 2016 has also been a good year. In fact, as I look around, I get dizzy. But I also see how my gaming life in the here and now, when taken as a whole, is very much a fantastical realization of so many childhood dreams.
