I don't have any RPS freelance budget to spend, but if I did, you best believe I'd blow it all on commissioning a 5000 word essay about the perfect strategy for getting away with running red lights in American Truck Simulator
Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.
