starkidismylifenow sent: Okay, so I have played these games for at least eight years (since I was 10) and I still love them so much. They really taught me a lot and it was like having a friend to solve crimes with. Because in reality, I had no friends when I was younger! Sad, I know. Anyways, this is an amazing blog, and I love all of your posts. I also used to write AE's on HerInteractive, but stopped after they made so many rules against.. Uh, EVERYTHING. This kinda brings back the feeling of being popular once on HER

Thanks so much for the lovely message! That’s awesome that you’ve played the games so long. I’ve been playing ND since 2000 and I know exactly the feeling you’re talking about! I only had one friend as a kid and my childhood wasn’t exactly peachy, but solving cases as Nancy felt like I was doing something badass. Perfect escapism. Still is!

You’ll have to forgive me for not knowing what an AE is. *shuffles feet* The HER forums were really fun, a looooong time ago.
