Situational Awareness and the World

It figures that he has a post about the topic I’m trying to sound knowledgeable about! I’ve been writing this post since we had a discussion in class about glitches (adjustments to drawing a sword due to size). “Situational awareness can get a little toxic sometimes, spending all day looking for dangers is a bit […]
