I Have a Crush on a 1930s Girl Detective
Yeah — I’m a gamer girl. But my go-to game isn’t Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege or League of Legends. It’s Nancy Drew and I’m what they call a master sleuth. HeR Interactive has made a total of thirty-three PC adventure mystery games based …

Self-Deprecating Humor is Out. It’s Time to Self-Boast.
It seems that self-deprecating humor has been a long-standing pillar of comedy. You see it in your 90s sitcoms and in the past decade’s commercials. You also see it today. Maybe now more than ever. It’s on Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, and it’s even …
