## Resource

Welcome back to Worth Reading, where Patrick chats with people doing interesting writing, reporting, and criticism in the world of video games. This week, Patrick’s talking with Aftermath co-founder Chris Person and for the purposes of this podcast, the author of the excellent essay “Baby’ Steps Manbreaker Did Not Break Me.” Talking with Chris felt especially fitting at the moment, because last week, Patrick finally made it to the end of Baby Steps’ wild challenge. Make sure to read Chris’ piece at Aftermath, entitled “Baby Steps’ Manbreaker Did Not Break Me”: https://aftermath.site/baby-steps-manbreaker-did-not-break-me-challange/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
