A Short History of the Word Geek - Voxel Hub Being a Geek is now more desirable (and less of an insult!). The term Geek describes an expert or enthusiast obsessed with a hobby or intellectual pursuit. It has been reclaimed as an identity to be proud of by many people, and the use of the word is becoming more widespread than it was previously.

Large card with brown border, cream background, and the symbols of a a spyglass, magnifying glass, and calculator on the bottom. The card, which is top of wooden desk, reads, "A Wish spell grants the caster the ability to change the very fabric of reality. However, wording with Wish can be very tricky. For example, if you said, 'I want to be the ruler over all the land,' you might be transformed into a yard stick that stretches from one end of the kingdom to the other. What would you say if you could cast Wish right now? Why did you make that wish? Talk about the ways in which your phrasing could go wrong."

Nerdy question of the week! If you could cast the classic Dungeons & Dragons spell Wish ✨, what would your wish be? Note: the Wish spell is notoriously tricky, kind of a Monkey Paw situation

I am playing a lot of Fallout 4 on survival atm.

I realised today it's the ultimate modern fantasy, A world where eating something and getting some sleep makes everything better

Text screenshot from the article: The case study (Gerhardt & Smith, 2020) integrated the narrative component of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) into the client’s understanding of the video game Minecraft. The client was able to articulate his experiences of maltreatment and abuse when relating them to the game’s survival mode. The therapist expanded the narrative to assist the client in seeing “peaceful” mode as the present day and “creative mode” as his future.

As an aside, I want to highlight the case study they cite because it's quality #geektherapy! In the case study, they adapt the narrative component of TF-CBT to be delivered using Minecraft as a clinical metaphor.
