Always a tremendous honor to be part of what is such a north star of what writing on games can be as a historical document. Wrote a short piece about dementia this year.

It is my absolute honor to have written for Spine for the first time in years! 2025 saw me going through an enormous amount of loss, but even though things are certainly challenging, I'm still here.

HUGE kudos to my brother @diegoarguello.bsky.social for the titanic effort of putting this together!

I’m in here!! I wrote about Adam Page vs Jon Moxley and how that match affected me as I was coming to terms with the fact that I was going to be a father.

Honored to have been invited back to contribute to this alongside so many brilliant writers.
