I'll be updating my portfolio as I go, as well as creating more videos on YouTube and social media. Even if you just want to see a guy spout nonsense about games, come say hello.

Needless to say, like many amazing others, I'll be available for work. If you need anyone with experience in:

- Video Production
- Video Editing
- Editorial Work
- Writing
- Graphics
- Management

Or just about anything else, because I've learnt so much already, so why not more?

See you around.

Too many other have been let go today as well, alongside many others throughout this year. It's disheartening to see a job I was held so dearly to become so saddening, slowly but all too quickly.

In light of being laid off from TheGamer today, I don't intend to let my passions die out. I'll continue to create work independently, and keep that excitement for whatever opportunities come my way in the future.

This was a dream career, and I'm not done with it yet.

MultiVersus was once my favourite live-service game, but its demise was simply inevitable.
