I never said I thought it was better or even of greater value to the community then the ones you've listed, which I agree it's not, but I enjoyed writing it which is a rarity for me and these articles. I'll let you in on a little secret: I don't enjoy writing Nerderys or many of the other articles that I do for this site. While it might seem a little harsh to say so I view my duties here as an actual job and not a hobby as others do and I took up writing the Nerderys because we need non-review content for this site to keep our update-a-day method going and I wasn't about to let something like this fall by the wayside. That is not to say I hate the Nerderys, quite the opposite I think Mr. P did a great job with them, or the other things I do here but I see it as more of a responsibility or a chore then anything else.
When Mr. P stopped doing Nerderys I "assigned" them to myself for several reasons being I wanted to try my hand at non-review article writing and I couldn't let something that's done well for us idly fall to the wayside. Of course my methods of deeming what's important to the reader's here is obviously different then Mr. P or others that have taken their shot at writing one (like Kije or Jeffe) which is more or less "what ever I feel like writing about and I could care less if any single person actually though it was worth reading". Actually I don't even think Nerderys should be used in ways like game ideas or advice but add them because Fell and SE poked me to do so when I took over. I would like it if more people read them and liked what I wrote but I'm not the type of person who tries to write something that appeals to the most people if it wasn't something I liked myself.
Sure I, for the most part, try to add some nugget of advice since I know that's why people tend to read the article and I didn't bother much with that this time because I liked it the way it was. I view this week's article as more of something writers do when they're brain storming where they just write and not care how it ends up and through this process get ideas for future projects, I myself managed to get several good topics out of this though they're probably not something most people would enjoy since they're more rant based. Why didn't I add one of those to this article? Because I didn't feel it was necessary nor did I want to waste one of my ideas on something that was already regular article length that I happed to think was a good article in it's own merits.
In the end it's just a matter of taste, I can assure you that I won't be writing so loosely all the time but it was refreshing after all the articles I've written in the past few months to do something that I felt I could write without sticking to a mold or preset notion on what it should be. All I can ask is that if you read something and find it interesting or annoying to discuss it here because that's the best part about this site.
