i don’t think aftermath would ever hire me but you should recommend me anyway to make me feel good
Exciting news! Thanks to our sale, we've rocketed all the way up to over 4,900 paying subscribers. This means we can cross another goal, a regular columnist, off our list. We plan to sort out the exact specifics in our own time, but for now, who do you think would be a good fit?

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.
Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

Now, I was never a big time journalist, but when your work is just the fruit of powerful people telling you shit because they know you will sell it to their liking, whether it's politics or sports or entertainment, that's not journalism. You're doing a whole other job buddy.
