That's why I had to make a GoFundMe. I'm still looking for work on a daily basis, and applying everywhere I can. I hate to ask for help, because I've always found a way to make things work. But right now? I feel helpless, lost, and scared.

Hey, are you games PR with some Switch 1 codes to burn? My neighbor's kid turns 12 this month and long story short, has had a rough year! Grandma (helped raise him since mom is single) passed away, he's helping mom with disabilities, etc. But he's a great kid. Looking to surprise him with some games

Hello everyone! I’m back with ANOTHER REVIEW! This time, I reviewed Shinobi: Art of Vengeance for Output Lag! While it isn’t perfect, the action combat and style is some of the best in the genre. Definitely worth it if you’re on the fence. Hope you enjoy reading the article! Thanks y’all!
