Hashtag Survival

 ‣ I have been drowning in lower back pain- sciatica pain is a thing for me now! Nothing like feeling like I'm getting electrical shocks to my lower back and legs when my job is being on my feet for 12 hours. It's more bearable/less painful now, but it's made wanting to sit at my desk and write a no-go.

 ‣ Almost done with a complete revamp of the Upcoming Games Directory. Added a changelog! Changed the tabs! Fucking hate that I keep redoing this shit! Damn OCD.

 ‣ I wrote some interesting articles lately if I do say so myself, and I'll post them soon. Just trying to figure out a posting schedule to be honest.
