Remember me hinting about this and saying it wasn‘t related to the AH Magazine? Well, I just heard it was approved so that will be announced soon!
Just submitted a design for a really cool project that hopefully gets announced soon, but when it does, I can officially say without a doubt I’m an industry person (this me telling myself that so suck it imposter’s syndrome).

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

I created Debug to give indie gaming fans an “offline” way to enjoy this hobby.
The same way I used to read Edge, PC Gamer, and OXM growing up.
It feels give to take your eyes off screens for a short moment.

Now that im free from the Doom Builder mines... It's time to unwind with an old Toei show. This time it's gonna be Ashita no Nadja.
Given it's both a Takuya Igarashi show at Toei from the 00's, it is an embarrassment of riches, and immaculately produced, as it should be.
