When does this stop man 😭😭😭😭

Entry-level jobs won't hire because better people exist. Not skilled enough for higher level jobs.

ATP, Idk what to do tbh...I'm sick of cold emailing and applying to no success for the last one year...

Wrote a nice little review on AdHoc Studio's Dispatch episode 1 and 2, while I prep myself for this week's episode.

Give it a read.

Sending my CV and cover letter to any relevant company out there in the hopes of getting one positive mail back is really fun ngl because you have to think up so many variations of cold email texts.

I initially wanted to make this a video, talking about Sleeping Dogs. Couldn't really do it because I'm not used to writing Youtube-style scripts and struggled with editing.

Anyways, hope y'all read this.

Wrote something. I kinda lost interest in covering and writing about games for a couple of months over various reasons. But mostly because of one botched interview at this certain game studio I can't talk about.

Kinda happy I'm slowly getting my interest back.

I think I got my writing interest back. Been writing OP-Eds for two days.

Speaking of which, I'm writing freelance for Sportsdunia and Gamedevourer.Com.

Got a pitch or something? Drop at
sampad.sportsdunia@gmail.com and sampademailforeverything@gmail.com

Will try my best.

Something I've been thinking about the entire day now that I've turned 28.

Unfortunately I don't use this platform much because I'm not that big on multiple social media, but hopefully I figure things out.

Please go and watch Predator: Killer of Killers if you have not.

Dan Trachtenberg really knows what makes a good Predator movie: normal humans outsmarting Yautjas in fights using any means necessary.

Hopefully Hunting Grounds continues the streak of good Predator movies.

I took my sweet time off from writing anything for the last three months, and after being peer-pressed by a friend of mine, I finally decided to review one of my possibly favorite games' remaster.

Give it a read. Writing's a bit rusty ngl.

It's a crime that I didn't play Children of Clay. Masterfully combines folklore and horror together into a great bite-size experience.

Barely two hours long, but the story deals with its horror themes in an impressive manner.

Go and play it! It is free!
The Children of Clay on Steam
The Children of Clay is a short stop motion archeology horror game, where you have to study an ancient artefact and discover its dark secret.

If I ever accumulate a lot of money, like a lot, the first thing I'll do is invest that money into buying a small, cozy house in the hills. Better air, quite, cooler.

Rockstar Games sent over a whole folder of images for GTA 6, so I'm posting some of them.

I'm only dropping the ones I haven't seen online yet. I'm in the middle of the road, so bear with me.

I'd appreciate it if I could manage to get some actual job offers and not scam mails.

Depressing ngl.

No strims this weekend because I went out with frens to touch some grass.

Thunderbolts was fun. Always a pleasant time whenever I get to hang out with friends ngl. Makes me less miserable.

Great to see so much love for turn-based RPGs currently after the success of Clair Obscur.

If you love the genre, pls drop your preferred games in the comments. Totally not a way for me to filter and get myself some suggestions to play once I'm done playing Clair Obscur.

If there's one thing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made me realize, my reaction timings are dogass. I can't parry and dodge, and I feel too old.

What a beautiful game. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow. I had good fun on the stream, and I almost cried once.

Going live with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!

Hop on if you can! Very excited to play a turn-based RPG after a long time

If there is anything positive about being unemployed, it is the fact that I can go and avail the 99 rupees movie ticket offer every Tuesday and watch movies for cheap.

Imax for 250 and standard screen for 99 is a good deal.

Pulled out my old Kindle and jailbroke it and I can finally adjust contrast for the text and have overall better control and features.

Hopefully I can regain my reading habits.
