Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

February 27, 2020 marked a big day for me as a returning gamer, and June 12, 2025 will be the next. :-) Before 2020 my last console was an Xbox 360! #Nintendo #YearinReview #2025

Took my son out for a train ride over to Los Trailers in Bayamon. We both start school tomorrow, so we needed to unwind a bit. Our Switch 2's kept us company! What game am I playing?

My son got a $25 Visa gift card over the holidays. I asked what he was planning to buy.
He looked at me and said, “In this economy? I don’t think $25 buys anything anymore.” 😅

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying the end of the year. Just a heads up... I might start posting a bunch of beach photos soon. Closing out the year by the water with the family is kind of our thing. 🌊😎 #EduSky
