Welcome to the slightly newer and mildly improved version of Gametrodon.

A man in a mask sits in front of a copy of the board game MegaLand.

Hello there.

You might be looking at the website today, and wondering if my WordPress installation has finally been compromised by Russian bots.

Have no fear. This is still the same old Gametrodon you politely tolerate and read occasionally. For better or for worse, I’m not planning to change anything about how I run this blog. Well, mostly nothing.

Gametrodon has been an interesting project, probably approaching 5 years in length. Like any project, that means it’s been around for some ups and downs in my life. I’ve posted on it with remarkable stability all things considered.

That said, there’s a ridiculous amount of cleanup that could be done on the site. There are close to 430 posts, and more than 800 images. Most of the posts are lacking in metadata and featured images, and virtually none of the images have alt-text for folks who are visually impaired.

This layout adjustment is mostly so that I can start changing things up; I’m aware not everyone wants to hear me talk about game events I go to every two weeks. This is a game review site, and I’m sure you’d rather read my thoughts on games, even if they do sound like they’ve come out of the mouth of a slightly concussed sloth.

The end goal is turn Gametrodon into something a bit more user friendly with a modern theme (I will figure out how to add search bar to mobile) and let folks see all my recent posts, while ignoring stuff they might not be interested in.

It’s been a weird 5 years. Here’s to another, better, 5.
