Lara Croft, The Linkle Chronicles, and More: Caro’s Writing Roundup, Nov. 28, 2015
Hey everyone!
Here’s a quick list of my games-related work since the last time I did one of these roundups.
storms of possibility: a personal post about the past, present, and future, and the final episode of Life Is Strange
We Were the Pretenders: My review for VICE of Tales From the Borderlands
My Review of Rise of the Tomb Raider, and a Note on Critical Perspective and Consensus: I had the opportunity to review Rise of the Tomb Raider for Feminist Frequency. This post contains my review and discusses the desire for and tendency toward consensus in reviews of AAA games.
The Legend of F. Scott: A Response to the Response to the Response to Linkle: An alternate-universe story I wrote in an effort to illuminate why the discussion around characters like Linkle matters.
willful ignorance masquerading as victory: the second of three posts I wound up writing about Linkle, this one addressing why this image, widely tweeted as evidence of hypocrisy, is no such thing.

And finally, because so many were saying that a female Link would, by definition, be a Ms. Male Character, I wrote this post, On Male As Default And What Ms. Male Characters Are And Aren’t
Thank you so much for reading. If you enjoy my work and you’re able to do so, please consider contributing to my Patreon, which helps me keep doing this kind of writing.
I wish you all a very happy holiday season!
