For most of my life, Xbox wasn’t just a console — it was a feeling. Halo, Fable, Xbox Live arcades, midnight launches — those years shaped me.
But the Xbox that once felt alive doesn’t feel like it’s coming back. I finally said goodbye.
Full reflection here 💚

Delays, discomfort, and the death of wonder. My latest essay started with a frustrating flight—but it became something more.
✈️ “The Illusion of Progress” is about what we’ve lost… and how we might still build something better.

New post—The Price of Gaming: Here We Go Again
$70 ports. $80 “upgrades.” $90 nostalgia tax. Déjà vu.
But there’s still hope—and power—in the hands of the players.
It’s not just a rant—it’s a rally. 😎🔥

Just finished Assassin’s Creed II for the first time—what an experience. Revisiting the series from the beginning has been an absolute blast. Gorgeous music, incredible world, and still holds up very well. The first game walked so this one could run. Glad I finally played it myself.

I’ve always kept my thoughts to myself, but silence isn’t an option anymore. I wrote something deeply personal—about history, injustice & hope for change. If you read it, I hope it makes you think. 💭

Remakes spark hope, but too often, they lead nowhere—just silence. I explore why some franchises never get follow-ups. What holds them back? Why do fans keep hoping? What games deserve a proper revival? Read now and join the discussion! #GameBlog #GamingNostalgia #GamingCommunity

Each #handheldgaming device I own has a different frontend to make each experience feel unique. My #RetroidPocket 3 uses #Daijisho. It's clean, organized, and makes my game collection shine. If I'm not playing retro classics on my RP2, I'm most likely playing #romhacks on my RP3. I love this device.

I know the Retroid Pocket 5 Pro is all the rage right now. However, it all started with the Retroid Pocket 2 for me. This is still an amazing handheld. Combined with a nice front-end like Reset Collection, it's still my go-to for some much needed R&R in the retro gaming space. #handheldgaming

Bringing back my game completion stamps! Just finished Batman Arkham Asylum—still awesome after 15 years. Might tackle Arkham City next! Also completed Soul Reaver 1 Remastered & Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night previously. I'm excited to see my finished games by the year’s end! #completedgames

This project has been an emotional journey, blending acoustic guitar with piano, choirs, synthwave sounds, and atmospheric melodies. Each track tells a story of grief, hope, and finding light in the darkness.
I hope you’ll find something that resonates with you. ❤️
